Medina Planning Board approves expansion at Vivus Technologies, solar panels on Pickle Factory
MEDINA – The Village of Medina Planning Board last week approved the site plan for an 8,000-square-foot expansion at Vivus Technologies.
The business at 591 Mahar St. plans to put up a new 80-by-100 foot building. The company manufactures washers and other cleaning equipment.
Medina also approved a variance for the project. The village code requires a 50-foot setback for buildings when a commercial lot abuts a residential district. Vivus will have a 25-foot setback. The village approved the variance for the project, which is on a dead-end street.
The existing facility was previously used by Takeform before that company moved to Maple Ridge Road.
The Planning Board last week also approved the site plan for solar panels to be put on the roof of the Olde Pickle Factory on Park Avenue. The project has a capacity to generate 1.296 megawatts of power to be used onsite, with any excess to be sold on the grid, said Dan Gardner, the village’s code enforcement officer.
