SALEM -- A plat split is being requested on East State Street as part of the plans for construction of a doctor's office on a property just east of Aldi's.
City Planning and Zoning Officer Chip Hank explained the parcel at 2495 E. State St. will be split into two lots, with a 1-acre lot being sectioned off for a doctor's office. The other lot to the west will be 4.468 acres. He had no details about what type of doctor's office was being built, but said the site plans were being reviewed by Howells & Baird.
The plat is one of two items on the agenda for the city Planning Commission, which is meeting at 4:30 p.m. today via Zoom.
The other agenda item is the proposed closing of an alley between North Lundy Avenue and North Broadway which cuts through the First Presbyterian Church property and goes between properties owned by John Biddle and the 314 Group LLC where Hack, Steer & Company is located.
One of the documents to be reviewed is a driveway easement agreement signed by Biddle, the 314 Group LLC and church officials.
The commercial property on East State Street is currently vacant and just east of where Butcher Road used to come out to East State Street, across from Sleepy Hollow Sleep Shop. When asked if there would be an exit at the back to Butcher Road, Hank said the only access is off of East State Street.
