Proposed Dollar General Market moves one step closer to reality on city's southeast side near Progress Parkway and McKay Road
A proposed Dollar General Market on the city's southeast side received a favorable recommendation Monday night for its site development plan from the Plan Commission.
Second Circle Investments out of Carmel, Indiana, wants to build a 10,640 square foot retail store at 1714 Twin Lakes Boulevard near Progress Parkway.
The site development plan will now go to the City of Shelbyville’s Common Council for final approval. A number of concerns brought forth at a previous meeting by residents living in the area have been addressed.
“The staff report is extremely complete. Our position is that every question that has been raised has been answered by the latest drawings,” said Briane House, a lawyer with Pritzke & Davis, LLP in Greenfield, Indiana, who was representing Second Circle Investments Monday at City Hall.
The project has received criticism from residents in the area including those living in the Twin Lakes subdivision which is concerned about a third Dollar General coming to the city which brings added traffic to an area not developed for large truck deliveries.
The proposed Dollar General Market is different from a typical Dollar General in that it offers a wider product assortment and includes fresh produce and meats, according to House. The market will have freezer and refrigeration cabinets on site.
The site development plan now includes a right-turn into the property off McKay Road coming from Progress Parkway. Delivery trucks will enter the property from that entrance and then exit left out of the property on the west side onto Twin Lakes Boulevard to return to McKay Road.
In other Plan Commission business Monday:
- Agreed to a favorable recommendation for Second Circle Investments to subdivide approximately 3.413 acres of land into two lots. One lot is the site of a proposed Dollar General Market at 1714 Twin Lakes Boulevard. The second lot will remain undeveloped for now.
- Approved the rezoning of the property at 418 E. Washington St. owned by James and Theresa Roberston to R1 (Single Family Residential) from BC (Business Central). The residential property is being sold and needs to be rezoned before the purchaser can secure financing.
