Large turnout for rezoning meeting re: old Kmart building Wednesday

About 100 residents squeezed into the Cyril Allgeier Community Center Wednesday evening to hear about and comment on rezoning the old Kmart building at 4025 Poplar Level Road.

Clifford Ashburner of Dinsmore & Shohl LLP led the meeting, joined by officials from Citadel Storage Partners I,  the proposed developer of the property. They plan to build climate-controlled self storage in the old store building.

The plan included the existing Wendy’s restaurant and proposed two additional out lots in what had been Kmart parking with the hope of trying to attract food establishments to occupy those lots.

Councilman Mulvihill’s office received inquiries about requesting an evening meeting, since Planning Commission meetings are normally held in the afternoon. This is done by petition (scroll to the bottom of the page to Petitions for Planning Commission Evening Public Hearings) at this link:
