Planning commission conditionally approves Mark's Custom Meats retail building plan in Walker Township

The Centre County Planning Commission on May 19 granted conditional final approval for Mark's Custom Meatss proposed 8,920-square-foot retail building with a drive-thru in Walker Township, with the county's action contingent on completion of technical and recording items.

The motion to grant conditional final-plan approval was made by Commissioner Chris Kunes and seconded by Michele Barbin; the minutes record that the motion carried, but they do not provide a roll-call vote tally. County staff advised the commission that the plan packet needs non-substantive corrections (consistent plan dates and source-of-title references), receipt of DEP or Centre County Conservation District erosion-and-sedimentation approvals as applicable, and a recorded Declaration of Stormwater Management and Maintenance Easement (staff acknowledged receipt of a draft and asked that a recorded copy be provided for the county file).

The plan materials identify the parent parcel owned by MCM Innovations, LLC (Mark W., Kim C., and Joshua W. Bair) and note associated infrastructure needs including stormwater facilities and public water/sewer connections. Staff reminded the applicant to provide final surveyor and engineer seals and signatures and to obtain Walker Township Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors signatures prior to county certification.

Next steps: the applicant must submit the required environmental/erosion approvals, correct plan metadata, record required stormwater instruments, and obtain municipal signatures; the county will complete final certification once those items are received and verified. The minutes include no direct speaker quotations for this item.
