Plan commission approves 142,295‑square‑foot F Street industrial building; conditions set for trees and stormwater
Summary
The Plan Commission approved site and building plans for a 142,295 sq ft multi‑tenant light‑industrial building in phase 2 of the F Street parcel, subject to 12 conditions including replacement of dead street trees and resolution of DPW stormwater/utility review comments before construction.
The Village of Germantown Plan Commission on July 13 approved site development and building plans for a 142,295‑square‑foot multi‑tenant light‑industrial building in the Town 9 Business Park (F Street parcel), contingent on 12 staff‑recommended conditions.
Jeff, planning staff, presented the proposal and noted the building is part of phase 2 of the F Street development. Jeff said utilities, stormwater management and access drive work from phase 1 are in place but DPW raised technical questions about whether the installed stormwater facility is sized to accommodate the new phase‑2 layout; those minor issues must be resolved before construction permits are issued.
Jeff also explained the village’s occupancy‑bond process: “Prior to issuance of a building permit, the village requires a deposit of a $20,000 occupancy bond, and then items that are subject to planning commission approval or requirement need to be completed or installed prior to the release of that occupancy bond,” he said. That bond and subsequent inspections will be used to ensure dead or dying street trees are replaced and required landscaping is installed.
Commissioners asked staff to reference the revised staff report in any motion to approve so the dates and conditions are current. Commissioner S4 moved to approve the plans and conditions as stated in the revised staff report; S8 seconded. The commission approved the motion by voice vote.
DPW/engineering comments must be addressed before construction begins and staff indicated roof‑mounted mechanicals and dumpster details will be reviewed during tenant zoning permits. The approval allows the applicant to proceed with permit applications once the outstanding technical comments are resolved and permit conditions met.
