Planning commission grants preliminary approval for showroom at historic 10 South Main with conditions
Summary
The Kamas City Planning Commission gave preliminary site-plan approval June 2 for renovating the historic fire station at 10 South Main into a CAM interior-design warehouse/showroom, contingent on a lighting plan, UDOT access approval for Main Street and final engineering sign-offs.
The Kamas City Planning Commission on June 2 granted preliminary approval for a renovation and expansion of the historic fire station at 10 South Main to create an interior-design warehouse and showroom, subject to several staff conditions.
Planner Jill Scott told the commission the proposal adds a second story and expands the building to increase usable space, with roughly 4,272 square feet added to the main floor and about 4,552 square feet on the upper level. Scott said the project meets current setback and height rules (building height 27 feet) and provides 23 parking stalls where 21 are required, but staff still needs a lighting plan and final engineering sign-off before issuing final approval.
Scott and other staff also said the applicant must secure UDOT approval for the Main Street access. “UDOT usually likes to see some kind of approval from the city so that they know that that use’s going to be allowed,” Scott said, explaining the coordination needed between local and state reviewers.
The applicant, Nicole Ferguson, told the commission she had the lighting plan and could submit it that evening and by email. “I do have the lighting plan with me, so I could submit that so I can check one thing off of my list and I can email it to you as well,” Ferguson said.
A nearby resident spoke during the public comment period and asked that irrigation-company approvals be included in staff review, citing concern that an open irrigation section near the site could lead to flooding in wetter years. The commission and staff agreed the applicant must obtain irrigation-company approval as a condition of final sign-off.
A commissioner moved to approve the preliminary site plan with staff and engineering contingencies, including the irrigation-company letter and other staff comments; the motion carried by recorded voice vote with three yeses and no opposing votes recorded at the meeting.
What happens next: the approval is preliminary. Staff will require the missing lighting plan, UDOT approval for the Main Street access, and final engineering sign-off before issuing final approval and allowing building permits to move forward.
