Planning commission approves Family Express plan for 1325 Netland Avenue, contingent on drainage calculations
Summary
The Decatur City Planning Commission voted to approve Family Express’s site plan for a convenience store with fueling, car wash and related facilities at 1325 Netland Avenue, requiring final stormwater/detention calculations before full sign-off.
The Decatur City Planning Commission voted to approve a site development plan from Family Express Corporation and MFM Decatur LLC to build a convenience store, fueling canopy, car wash and related site improvements at 1325 Netland Avenue.
The commission’s approval was conditional: a commissioner seconded the motion with the stipulation that the applicant provide complete stormwater detention and drainage calculations for city review. The Chair called for a voice vote, commissioners answered “aye,” and the Chair declared, “Motion carries.”
Applicant counsel Patrick Lipp described Family Express as a long‑standing, family‑owned Indiana chain and introduced the project team. Presenter Pete walked the commission through building and site images, explaining the layout of the store, fuel canopy and car‑wash elements and noting environmental safeguards for underground tanks.
The commission’s action was procedural approval of the plan with a follow-up requirement to deliver technical drainage calculations and detention sizing before final administrative sign-off.
