BZA allows G & G Excavating to continue operating from Lincoln Drive with screening and no on‑site material storage
Summary
The board granted a use variance to allow G & G Excavating to operate administrative and vehicle storage functions at 2505 Lincoln Drive in the West Riverfront District, on condition that no excavation byproducts be stored on site and that vehicles and equipment be screened behind fencing and landscaping.
Planning staff presented a use‑variance request for G & G Excavating to operate from 2505 Lincoln Drive in the West Riverfront District. Staff said the property historically transitioned from a house to commercial uses and noted that the West Riverfront zone prohibits most industrial uses; because the site is paved and configured for non‑residential use, staff recommended a variance limited to the current operator subject to conditions.
Owner Morgan Guthrie told the board the site already has a 10‑yard dumpster for ordinary trash, that vehicles and equipment are kept behind gates and privacy blockers, and that employee cars may be parked in front while company equipment would be screened. Staff recommended conditions including: application of the variance only to the current applicant, no on‑site storage of rubble/rock/concrete/sand/dirt, and screening of vehicles and equipment behind a fence. The board approved the variance with added direction to include landscape buffering along the Discovery Trail where visible during leaf‑off months.
