BENTONVILLE -- Benton County planners approved plans Wednesday, Sept. 7, to allow the expansion of a Garfield business pre-dating planning regulations.
The board approved a proposal to expand the storage business owned by SPJ Enterprises at 19632 Arkansas Highway 127 near Garfield. The storage buildings have been on the site since the mid-1990s at least, according to records, and the planning regulations, adopted in 2014, allow the buildings to be "grandfathered in" with the setbacks from the property lines even though they don't conform with regulations. The proposed new building, which adds 13,744 square feet of storage, is in the interior of the lot and complies with requirements. Albert Roos, representing the project, said a firewall has been added to the proposed building, which eliminates the need for a fire suppression sprinkler system.
