Almost two weeks after buying the property, Darden Restaurants Inc. landed a site-clearing permit Feb. 12 from the city to clear almost 2 acres at Glen Kernan Park for an Olive Garden Italian Kitchen.
The permit allows site clearing at 4995 Sweetgrass Place at a project cost of $20,000.
The city also is reviewing a construction permit for the 7,847-square-foot restaurant at a project cost of $2.4 million. Venture Construction Co. is shown as the contractor. The permit was created July 10, 2014.
