Harbor Freight Tools soon may come to outer Arsenal Street.
The automotive, power tool and outdoor equipment store based in Camarillo, Calif., may locate in the former home of Rex TV & Appliance, 20839 Route 3.
The town of Watertown Planning Board approved a resolution that should enable the owner of the property, Klaff Realty LP, Chicago, Ill., to avoid a full site plan review. The only aspect of the site that will change is the signage.
The resolution requires the real estate company to submit a contract by Jan. 13 to the town committing to signs shown to the board during its meeting Monday night.
"The free-standing sign can be no greater than 24 feet and the Planning Board must be consulted on the planter at the base," co-chairman Thomas E. Boxberger said. "If the contract is received by the deadline, the chair will be authorized to act on the part of the Planning Board and the rest of the site review process will be waived."
The sign plan includes reducing the free-standing sign by 8 feet from 32 feet, changing the sign on the building and removing the neon light strip that runs around the building.
The lease and other paperwork have yet to be finalized, said attorney David B. Guertsen, of Conboy, McKay, Bachman & Kendall, Watertown.
The nearest Harbor Freight store is on Route 11 in North Syracuse.
During the meeting, the board also approved the site plan for a building to house Mr. Rick's Bakery on Lot 7 in the Jefferson County Corporate Park.
The board also approved a site plan for Alice Andrew Salon, 21243 Route 12F, in a former insurance building.
Co-owner Shaynna B. Adams said the salon could be open in February.
