Del City approves Sherwood Industrial final plat for Van Eaton Ready Mix expansion

Del City council voted to approve the final plat for the Sherwood Industrial site, clearing the way for an expansion of an existing concrete batching operation that staff said occupies roughly 29.83 acres.

City staff told the commission the agenda language initially misstated the application as a replat for nine townhomes; staff corrected the record and said the applicant, Van Eaton Ready Mix (listed on the agenda with representative Todd D'Amico), seeks platting needed to expand an on-site concrete batching plant. Staff said all pertinent city departments have signed off and cited Del City zoning ordinance section A616 as the code provision that requires platting before issuing building permits.

The council opened a public hearing on the Sherwood Industrial final plat and recorded no public speakers. After a brief clarification from a commissioner that the project covers concrete operations only and does not include asphalt, the council moved to approve the final plat. The motion passed with all members answering "Aye" on the recorded vote and no opposition noted on the transcript.

The approval authorizes the city to proceed with the platting step; the transcript shows staff and the commission discussed that permits cannot be issued until platting is complete under section A616. The meeting did not record specific permit applications or construction timelines.

The council took the vote during the same meeting that approved routine consent items and heard several public- and commissioner-input items on neighborhood maintenance and upcoming community events. The public hearing for Sherwood Industrial produced no public opposition on the record.
