Summary

The commission approved a sidewalk replacement along Clinton Street for Gautier Steel Bar Mill LLC, agreeing the footprint would remain the same but curbing must meet requirements for a state route; staff noted the project is part of a multimodal grant and will receive a consistency letter of support.

The Planning Commission approved a sidewalk rehabilitation project proposed by Gautier Steel Bar Mill LLC to replace deteriorated sidewalk along Clinton Street and provide a consistency letter of support.

Staff said the existing sidewalk footprint would not change and that the new curbing must be deeper than a typical residential curb because the road is a state route. Residential Construction Coordinator Dave Williams and Economic Development Director John Rutledge said staff had reviewed the package and found the existing sidewalk unsafe; Martynuska noted the project’s multimodal grant context and said the City had already provided a letter of support.

Action taken: Commissioner Michael Grandinetti moved to approve the sidewalk improvement and for the commission to provide a consistency letter; the motion, seconded by Commissioner Donald Buday, passed by roll call with all present voting yes.

What’s next: The City and project team will follow engineering recommendations required by the grant and by state-route curbing standards before construction.
