RANDOLPH — The sound of saws and hammers could soon be echoing across Randolph.
Multiple construction projects are set to begin after the Randolph City Council approved several building permits during its April 8 meeting.
Permits were approved for Scott Bowers, 526 W. Wayne St.; Derek Naslund, 411 W. Wayne St.; Randolph Farm Supply, 86592 558 Ave.; and Randolph Public Schools, 309 N. Bridge St. and 207 N. Pierce St.
Bowers plans to expand his home, a project that also required floodplain and variance permits due to updated floodplain maps.
Naslund received approval to construct a 24-by-4--foot shed. Because his property is located within the floodplain, the project will require installation of a flood gate.
Randolph Farm Supply’s permit was approved with conditions. The project remains contingent on combining two parcels of land and annexing the property into city limits. City officials said early approval could help expedite construction once those steps are completed.
Once the lots are combined, the company plans to move forward with construction without further delay.
Randolph Public Schools also received permits tied to its recently approved bond issue. Projects include an addition to the elementary kitchen and construction of a new 110-by-88-foot building.
In other business, the council approved upgrades to the city pool house, including plumbing work, interior and exterior painting, and epoxy flooring.
Plumbing work will be completed by Scott Wattier and Kendall Kuhl, with flooring and painting by Erikson Floors. Funding will come from existing city funds.
Council members also discussed a citywide cleanup event, though no dates were set. Details will be announced at a later time when all details have first been worked out.
The council entered executive session to discuss legal matters before adjourning.
The next Randolph City Council meeting is scheduled to be held May 13, at 6:30 p.m., at Randolph City Hall.
