The proposed final plat that would allow the development of a new Dollar General Store in Junction has received a recommendation of approval from the Metropolitan Planning Commission (MPC).

Dave Yearout, Zoning Administrator, said that the store to be developed at Grant Avenue and Monroe Street has been approved with conditions.

“[It is] conditioned upon working out the details from the City engineer, on improvements that will have to be made on Grant and Monroe with respect to street improvements and drainage issues and sidewalks that will be in the form of a developer’s agreement that would go with the plat when it goes to the Commission,” said Yearout.

The final plat for the project called Junction City Commerce Park will go to the City Commission for final consideration.

Other items from the Thursday, January 12th MPC meeting include:

• Dental practice considering opening in the former Quiznos restaurant building on West 6th Street
• McDonald’s is proposing to build a new outlet on West 6th Street – plan is to tear down existing building and build a new, more modern structure immediately to the west of the present restaurant
