Newport Planning Commission
The Newport Planning Commission on Tuesday approved two site plans. A 3,400 square foot covered garage at the Newport Utilities maintenance building on West Highway 25/70 was OK'ed. The commission also approved plans for the site of the Vision Source of Newport, Inc, on Crowe Lane. The body deferred action on a request for approval of a tri-plex apartment complex on Bluegrass Street. The body had earlier recommended re-zoning the site however some members of the Newport City Council had reservation regarding that move. The planners instead agreed to an offer by State Planner Dan Hawk to research the issue and offer a recommendation at the October meeting.
