Scott County Planning Commission September 7, 2026

The Scott County Planning Commission held a meeting on September 7, 2026, where they approved the rezoning of 40 acres from Agricultural Preservation District A1 to A3 as part of the consent agenda. The main procurement-related discussion focused on a conditional use permit and final plat approval for Danny's Construction Company LLC to establish a contractor yard and maintenance facility within the Valley View Industrial Park in Sand Creek Township. The nearly nine-acre site will include a 15,000 square foot maintenance building and outdoor storage areas. The project includes site grading, landscaping, and compliance with septic and stormwater regulations. The Sand Creek Township Board recommended approval with conditions, including driveway permits and use of white noise backup alarms on equipment. The Planning Commission voted to approve the final plat and conditional use permit subject to conditions to be addressed before County Board consideration. Additionally, updates were provided on the Valley View Drive road improvement project and recent county board actions on wireless communication towers and accessory dwelling units.
