The Wilder Planning & Zoning Commission met to review a site plan for Hometown Concrete, a proposed batch concrete plant on Gloria Terrell Drive. Representatives from Martin Engineering and Hometown Concrete presented the project details, including zoning compliance, environmental impact, and traffic management. The site, formerly owned by Rumpke, has been subdivided into three parcels, with the concrete plant occupying a 12-acre lot. Discussions focused on dust and water quality control measures, including a closed-loop water recycling system and dust suppression strategies such as sprinkler systems and vacuum trucks. The applicant assured the commission that air and water permits would be obtained from state agencies before construction. The site plan also detailed a private access road serving both the concrete plant and a future asphalt plant on an adjacent parcel. Concerns were raised about potential traffic congestion and road maintenance on Gloria Terrell Drive, as the plant is expected to generate up to 40 truck trips per day. The commission reviewed a traffic study, which concluded that Rosewood Drive would be the preferred route for heavy truck access to minimize disruption. After discussion, the commission approved the site plan, contingent on obtaining all required permits and adhering to environmental regulations. The meeting concluded with updates on upcoming zoning cases and the election of commission officers for 2025.
