The proposed final plat for a new Dollar General store project is on the agenda for the Junction City – Geary County Metropolitan Planning Commission Thursday evening.

Planning and Zoning Administrator David Yearout said the proposed plat is for property at the southwest corner of North Monroe Street and Grant Avenue. “A large vacant lot owned by a group of doctors here in town. Dollar General is proposing to take roughly the east half of that property and construct another Dollar General store.”  He added the doctor’s group is called SKAK Enterprises LLC.

Yearout noted staff is recommending the proposal on the final plat be continued until a later MPC meeting because they feel a traffic analysis needs to be done. He noted there are also some drainage issues. “We just think there needs to be more effort put into really laying this plat out.”

The MPC meeting begins at 7 p.m. Thursday at the Municipal Building.
