An urgent care clinic with a possible fast-food component is proposed for Forest Hill, while a warehouse building is also in the works for Hickory, north of Bel Air.
Harford County's Development Advisory Committee reviewed plans last week for an ExpressCare facility on the west side of Route 24, just south of Rock Spring Church Road.
The clinic would involve razing a former bank building, Rick Richardson, of Richardson Engineering LLC., told DAC members on Wednesday. The facility would continue to have access from Route 24, he said.
The building would also potentially include a fast-food or coffee shop in a 1,900-square-foot space, but the developer did not mention that at a previous community input meeting and would therefore be required to have another input meeting, DAC chairman Moe Davenport said.
State Highway Administration is reviewing a traffic study submitted for the project.
Hickory warehouse
The committee also reviewed a plan for a 6,695-square-foot warehouse building for construction services at 523 Underwood Lane, west of Route 1 and near Route 23.
The project, on a little over an acre, would constitute "modest infill, commercial project," Rowan Glidden, land planning director for George William Stephens Jr., and Associates, representing the developer, told the committee.
The access to it would be from Underwood Lane, and the property has public water and sewer, Glidden said.
No traffic study is required because of the intensity of the project, he said, and no forest conservation is required.
House near Singer Road
A request to add a house for an owner's father on an 82.5-acre property off of Clayton Road, south of Singer Road, in Abingdon, drew concerns from one neighbor.
Joe Thompson, of Thompson Associates, said the owner wants to build a home for his father to live in, and the access to it would be off of Clayton.
William Stuller, who also lives on Clayton Road, told the committee he is worried about traffic continuing to cut through the area from areas like Monmouth Meadows and Constant Friendship, including trucks who drive through local properties.
"I have had four of them in my front yard already," Stuller said, noting Clayton is "a little country road."
"Something needs to be done about the traffic through there," he said.
A representative from the Sheriff's Office said he would look into the driving complaint.
