A Dairi-O restaurant has been proposed on Marketplace Drive in Tramway, according to the Sanford-Lee County Planning Department.

The department’s Technical Review Committee will look at the proposal at a meeting on January 29, along with tweaks to several subdivision and commercial development proposals the committee has reviewed in the past.

Dairi-O was founded in King, North Carolina in 1947 and began expanding in 2006 with its first sit-down location in Rural Hall. Today, the company has 12 locations in places like Winston-Salem, Clemmons, Kernersville, Asheboro and elsewhere, according to the company’s website.

The TRC agenda indicates the restaurant, if built, would be on an outparcel just south of the CVS Pharmacy between U.S. 1 and Marketplace Drive.

The committee will also review a proposal for a concrete plant on Lower Moncure Road between Deep River Road and Forest Oaks Road. The area is zoned for heavy industrial use.

Also on the agenda are two housing subdivisions (78 West on Tramway Road, and Regents Crossing on Commerce Drive) and two commercial developments (Ashby Village at U.S. 421 and Ashby Road near Lowes Home Improvement, and Adams Crossing on N.C. 87 south of the Walmart development). All of these projects have been before TRC in the past and are being presented again with changes to the plans.

The TRC is comprised of local officials from various city and county government entities and meets monthly to review commercial projects and major subdivisions for compliance with the codes and policies of various local departments. TRC approval of a project ā€“ or even submission of a proposal for consideration ā€“ is not a concrete indicator that the project will happen; the TRC only looks at whether proposals meet city, county and state requirements.
