Carbon County’s proposed office building project plan has some minor issues that should be addressed before final plan approval, county officials said Tuesday.

The Carbon County Planning Commission made a conditional plan approval recommendation for the Susquehanna Street building project based on its review of the plans. The recommendation now goes to Jim Thorpe for its review of the project.

The project includes demolishing the former archives building and constructing a three-story, 66,279-square-foot building and 110-space parking garage next to the current 76 Susquehanna St. offices.

Ivan O. Meixell, county planner, said that several areas of the commission’s plan review from June 19 were not yet resolved or are currently under discussion between the county and Jim Thorpe.

They include:

• An approved Highway Occupancy Permit from the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation.

• Development agreement between Jim Thorpe and Carbon County.

• A construction cost estimate.

• Height of the proposed retaining wall exceeds the maximum height allowed.

Meixell said the county has addressed a number of comments from the previous review of the project, but there are still some outstanding areas that need to be addressed before final plan approval.

Carbon County has been working on building additional office space since 2016 when commissioners refinanced its bonds to free up $7.7 million for capital projects, including constructing a maintenance building at the upper end of the county parking lot, relocating the archives office to the east side of Jim Thorpe and matching grant requirements for the proposed multiuse fire training facility in Nesquehoning.

In a related matter, the planning commission voted to recommend plan approval for the final lot consolidation plans for the Susquehanna Street project.
