Planning board approves Class B special‑use permit for concrete/asphalt plant on US 74
Summary
The Anson County Planning Board approved a Class B special‑use permit for a proposed concrete/asphalt production plant at approximately 5915 US Highway 74; applicant Brandon Lynn said full build‑out could create about 100 jobs and staff recommended approval subject to standard buffering, parking, and permit conditions.
The Anson County Planning Board approved a Class B special‑use permit for a proposed concrete/asphalt production plant on a 50.97‑acre parcel at approximately 5915 US Highway 74.
Valerie of the planning staff presented the request, noting the parcel’s PIN and acreage, proximity to single‑family residential parcels, the presence of a flood zone and a required 50‑foot drainage channel buffer, and screening and parking requirements. Staff found the proposal met ordinance compatibility standards for a Class B use in the county’s light‑industrial zone.
Applicant Brandon Lynn (2604 Smithfield Drive) described the project in detail: an initial phase of office and manufacturing buildings with a future production building to the east, designated drive access onto US 74, on‑site storage of sand and stone in gravel bins, ambient curing for products to reduce specialized machinery, measures to control dust, and plans to store hazardous materials in compliance with regulations. He said the project could support about 100 jobs at full build‑out.
Board members asked about buffers next to residences, screening along US 74 and Old Prison Camp Road, and parking calculations; staff confirmed a planned vegetative buffer and a parking standard that equates to 1 space per 2 employees on the largest two shifts, producing a notional maximum of 114 spaces under the described scenario.
The board voted to approve the special‑use permit; the hearing record shows members saying 'aye' but does not include a roll‑call tally in the transcript.
The board noted the approval is limited to the permit record and applicable county and state permit requirements; staff will coordinate any conditions and permit compliance moving forward.
