Local engineer presents commercial and subdivision concepts, flags septic variance possibility
Summary
Will Marsh of Marsh Engineering Services presented conceptual plans for a Clinton Road mixed-use project and a Front Street subdivision; he said he may request a variance to allow septic systems rather than tie into town sewer. The board took the presentation as informational and did not vote.
Will Marsh, owner of Marsh Engineering Services, PLLC and a licensed professional engineer who said he was born and raised in Stedman, presented conceptual plans to the board on Jan. 8 for two properties he owns near Clinton Road and Front Street.
Marsh described a parcel adjacent to the Cokesbury Thrift shop where an irregular zoning boundary currently runs through an existing commercial building. He outlined a conceptual 17,000-square-foot commercial building with retail and restaurant spaces and a residential subdivision behind that building. Separately, Marsh said he is exploring a subdivision on Front Street and indicated he may ask the town for a variance to allow septic systems rather than a connection to the town sewer.
The presentation was informational only; no board action, motion or vote was taken at the meeting. Marsh said his intent was to “clean up boundary lines” on the Clinton Road parcel and explore development options. Any request for a variance, site plan, or rezoning would return to the board through the town’s standard application and review process, including required development-review submissions and possible public hearings.
Commissioners heard the concept and asked no recorded questions that led to a vote. Town staff and any permitting agency would need to evaluate site feasibility, sewer availability, environmental constraints and whether a local septic variance could be legally approved for a subdivision.
