WAYNESBURG Greene County will soon have another option for restaurant dining as plans were approved Monday by the Franklin Township supervisors for an Applebees restaurant.

The supervisors approved site plans for the restaurant which will be constructed in front of the Greene Plaza on Route 21, next to the Taco Bell restaurant.

The plans were reviewed March 16 by the township planning commission, which recommended the supervisors approval with a number of conditions.

Steve Coss, township code enforcement officer, told the supervisors most of the conditions cited by the commission are being addressed between Applebees engineer and the townships engineer.

One of the issues involves parking. Entrance to the restaurant from Route 21 will be by Miller Lane and the traffic lane through Greene Plaza. The restaurant will have 25 to 30 parking spaces on-site, Coss said.

Any additional parking that may be needed, to meet requirements of the township zoning ordinance, will be provided by spaces available at the Greene Plaza, he said.

Steve Krekus, director of construction for Applebees, told the supervisors construction of the 5,400-square-foot restaurant will begin as soon as all required permits are received.
