Quincy planning committee recommends approval of 316 Mini‑Storage plans on Altenwald Road

The Quincy Township Planning Committee voted May 4 to recommend approval of land development plans for 316 Mini‑Storage on Altenwald Road, contingent on a final submission that corrects the plan header, updates screening, includes the owner’s signature and assigns a proper bond for construction costs.

Ron Borger, a JHA representative, presented the plans and asked that the committee permit the submission to be approved as Final plans "contingent upon a few minor changes" and by changing the plan header from "Preliminary" to "Preliminary/Final." The committee discussed screening revisions and the need for the owner’s signature and bond assignment before final endorsement.

Vice Chairman Alan Peck moved to recommend approval contingent on the final submission and bond assignment; Supervisor Josh Peters seconded the motion and the committee carried the recommendation unanimously. Chairman Nelson Egolf presided during the discussion.

During final public comment, Dave Fair of Anthony Highway asked about hours of operation for the mini‑storage, which the record shows are not available at this time. Developer Lane Thrush responded that exterior lighting for the project would be "aimed in and downwards," addressing a public concern about potential light pollution.

The committee’s recommendation does not constitute final approval of construction permits; staff will require a revised final plan with the specified header and owner signature and will confirm bonding details before any final administrative sign‑off. The committee adjourned at 6:54 p.m.

Next steps: the developer must submit the revised final plans and bond assignment for administrative review; the committee’s recommendation will be part of the administrative file used to determine final approvals.
