SE26-109 – RC Hill vehicle sales and repair expansion

Description

Recommended approval of a 16,500-square-foot dealership expansion with four conditions on lighting, construction traffic, PA use, and slope stability — over sustained neighbor objections about drainage, noise, and light.

Impact summary

The dealership gets to grow while keeping 700+ inches of tree diameter, a 36-to-72-foot buffer, and an underground stormwater system the engineer says holds a full 100-year storm with zero discharge — residents remain skeptical the trench won't clog and send water downhill.
