Planning commission approves Twin City Hose expansion site plan, conditioned on engineering and stormwater reviews
Summary
Commissioners approved a site-plan amendment allowing a 9,648 sq ft addition to Twin City Hose at 20615 Commerce Boulevard, adding parking and stormwater work; approval was subject to engineering, Elm Creek Watershed Management Commission review, and standard staff conditions.
The Rogers Planning Commission approved a site-plan amendment allowing Twin City Hose to expand its facility at 20615 Commerce Boulevard by 9,648 square feet, increasing the building to roughly 34,000 square feet and adding parking stalls and a new access point on Commerce Boulevard. Staff recommended approval subject to conditions listed in the staff report and outside agency reviews.
Eric Burton, community development specialist, said the company has been in Rogers since 1977 and that the expansion supports local employment. The plan calls for textured panel precast concrete and steel materials to match the existing building, expansion of the regional stormwater pond and a new filtration basin; stormwater work is subject to city engineering review and review by the Elm Creek Watershed Management Commission.
The applicant team — architect Ed Far of Edward Far Architects, Twin City Hose co-owner Kirk Garry, contractor Jay Donaldson and civil engineer Brian Field — told commissioners they are agreeable to staff conditions and expect to proceed to building-permit drawings following council approval. The applicant said there is an existing easement between the parcel and an adjacent lot that will accommodate the pond expansion, and staff said final easement and stormwater maintenance agreements remain to be confirmed.
A motion to approve the site-plan amendment subject to the staff conditions was made, seconded and adopted by voice vote. The transcript records the commission’s verbal approval with no opposing votes recorded.
Next steps: the applicant must complete engineering and watershed commission reviews, finalize any required easement instruments and obtain building permits before construction can commence.
