Clarkston planners recommend two business-license applications for council approval

The Clarkston Town Planning Commission on an evening meeting recommended that the town council approve two business-license applications for local entrepreneurs.

The commission voted to forward a favorable recommendation for Allied Drafting & Design, a home-based drafting business the applicant said will operate mostly online or by visiting client sites and will have no employees, added parking, or extra water use. The applicant (identified in discussion as Dustin) told the commission he holds a drafting degree and plans to work alone while he builds the business. “No parking, no extra water use or anything,” the applicant said, and commissioners responded that the proposal raised no infrastructure concerns.

The commission also recommended approval for a mobile food-trailer business, Risky Biscuit, introduced by Jason. He said the trailer will operate primarily at events and use a commissary kitchen in Logan as its home base. Jason described the menu as biscuits and gravy, burritos and breakfast sandwiches, and said occasional storage at his residence was possible; commissioners asked about event plans and encouraged him to participate in the town’s Point Express Day on June 27.

Both recommendations were moved and seconded on the floor of the planning commission and passed by voice vote; the planning commission will present the recommendations to the town council at its next meeting for final action. The applicants were told they do not need to attend the council meeting unless the council requests additional information.
