Badcock Furniture is planning a move to Tyrone on Ga. Highway 74. Those plans will require additional work before the planning commission can address the site plan.

Expected to be located in a vacant parcel immediately south of Carriage Oaks Drive and just north of Publix, project representative Ted Wilson heard at the Dec. 27 planning commission meeting that a number of issues must be resolved prior to the project’s consideration. Wilson agreed, and commissioners decided to continue the request until the January meeting.

Town engineering consultant Megan Will explained that the site plan proposal as submitted did not conform to town requirements, essentially preventing her from being able to adequately review the plan. Will cited a lengthy list of needed information, such as the name and address of the property owner, a vicinity map, demarcated property lines, existing easements, the location and width of all existing and proposed streets and access ways, the location of existing and proposed greenbelts and landscaped areas, sidewalks and grass strips, buffers, fire hydrants and stormwater facilities.

Will also noted special requirements applicable to the town’s SR 74 Corridor Overlay District. Some of those requirements not submitted included the need for finished construction to be 80 percent brick veneer or glass and all parking lots, loading docks, trash receptacles and equipment areas to be screened from all streets and roads. Chairman Ginger Blackstone advised Wilson to pay close attention to the town’s signage requirements, noting that issues with some retail developments had arisen in the past due to an incomplete understanding of those requirements by developers.
