Board OKs storage building site plan
Oakridger
A city board has approved the site plan for a planned three-story storage building on South Rutgers Avenue near Walmart after some debate about whether it should keep its lights on at night.
The building for Extra Space Storage is planned to include three stories of personal storage lockers with a design that resembles some of the stores in the nearby Main Street Oak Ridge shopping center. Both Main Street Oak Ridge and this storage unit are projects of Greenville, S.C.-based developer RealtyLink.
The Oak Ridge Municipal Planning Commission, a board appointed by City Council, unanimously voted last Thursday, April 22, to approve the site plan, which shows the layout for the storage building and its surroundings. The site plan now needs only the approval from Planning Commission, not City Council.
