The supermarket is being proposed approximately a quarter mile northwest of the Husky Trail/Parker Street intersection in Warsaw.[[In-content Ad]]It is being proposed in the northwest corner of the Menards subdivision development. The development plan proposes a mixed use of a supermarket and bank.
Scott Smith, an attorney hired by Martin's Super Market, said Monday there are 20 stores in Indiana.
If the supermarket opens, there would be $12 million invested into the store, approximately 175 jobs would be created, and employees would receive an average $12 per-hour salary.
Warsaw Traffic Safety Commission reviewed a traffic impact analysis for the proposed supermarket at its meeting May 6.
The property was rezoned and platted in 2006 for the construction of a Menards and future commercial outlots with an additional residential subdivision with a commercial development.
Warsaw Plan Commission Monday night approved sending a favorable recommendation to the city council for the rezoning.
Commissioners Tom Allen, Tammy Dalton, Rick Keeven, and Jim Gast voted in support of the rezoning. Commissioners and City Councilmen Jeff Grose and Dan Hampton voted against the rezoning.
Grose said he was concerned with the proposed road configuration for the proposed supermarket.
Martin's Super Market is requesting ingress and egress on Husky Trail to accommodate the proposed supermarket.
"Two years ago this commission was told by Menards the road configuration would work and allow for proper residential and commercial growth," Grose said.
Grose said he supported having the proposed super market in Warsaw, but was concerned with an additional ingress and egress that Menards did not originally state was needed.
"Anytime you cut on an arterial that is growing by the day on a curve, that is a concern, especially when Menards told us two years ago the commercial lot would be sold and the road configuration could manage traffic," Grose said. "Martin's is saying they need more residential property for an ingress and egress on Husky Trial and that is not in the plan we approved two years ago."
Warsaw City Planner Jeremy Skinner said a site plan has not yet been approved and will need to be reviewed by Warsaw Traffic Safety Commission.
He said when the site plan is reviewed, the traffic circulation plan to accommodate traffic will be discussed.
The rezoning will better facilitate the placement and overall site design of the proposed super market, Skinner said.
The commission also approved sending a favorable recommendation to the city council for a public way vacation.
Petitioners Dale and Joan Hermann requested the vacation of Husky Trail south of Mariner Drive.
The commission also approved a preliminary and final plat for a two-lot subdivision at Red Leaf Point Subdivision, 2515 Oriole Lane.
The commission will meet again June 8 at 7 p.m. at city hall.
