Council approves right‑of‑way, solar and sign permits; guitar store announced for Kmart plaza
Summary
Council approved several right‑of‑way and building permits, two solar installations with required fencing, a homeowner deck, and signage for a new guitar store at the West Frankfort Plaza in the Kmart plaza.
At its June 9 meeting the West Frankfort City Council approved multiple permitting items that staff recommended as compliant with local ordinances.
Staff presented right‑of‑way permits for Frontier Communications (work on Spart Road and additional streets), and the council approved both permits. The council also approved two solar projects: one at 610 East 4th Street for Reva Riddle and a ground‑mounted system to be installed by RSP Heating and Cooling; associated fence permits to secure ground‑mounted panels were approved as required by local code.
Other permits approved included a fence at 2210 East Clark Street for Wayne McCoy, a homeowner deck permit for Brandon Wall at 904 East St. Louis (applicant certified insurance and exemption status), and a sign permit for a new guitar store tenant in the West Frankfort Plaza (Kmart plaza). Council voted on each permit by roll call with staff recommending approval based on correct site plans, registered contractors and compliance with city ordinances.
The guitar‑store permit indicates a new retail tenant will occupy space in the Kmart plaza; staff did not provide the tenant’s trade name during the meeting beyond referring to a guitar store and the signage application.
