From the meeting

At its October 5, 2026 meeting, the Planning Commission approved a variance for 900 Old Main to reduce the R-1 rear setback from 25 feet to 10 feet for an expansion of the existing building to the east. The applicant was Michael Edwards/Donald Suderman (Newton Bible Church), with KE Miller Engineering speaking on behalf of the applicant. The minutes note the expansion would mimic the existing building and that a public hearing was closed before the motion passed.

Decision state: approved.

Questions about this project

What is a pre-RFP?

A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.

Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks City of Newton's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
