A VILLAGE OF EVENDALE
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES
March 16, 2010
EVENDALE MUNICIPAL BUILDING
The regular March meeting of the Evendale Planning Commission (EPC) was called to order by Doug Lohmeier at 5:57 PM on March 16, 2010. Attending were EPC members Doug Lohmeier (Council Representative) Dick Shaffer, Susan van Amerongen, Rob Adams and Dan Frank. Supporting the EPC were Jack Cameron, James Jeffers (Village Engineer), Pam Morin, Kathy Farro, Ralph Terbrueggen (Architectural Review Board Member) and James Dobrozi (Architectural Review Board Member).
New Business:
1. GE Aviation, 1 Neumann Way, Bldg 701 - Site review or exterior and facade
Mr. Mark McEwan and Mr. Gary Acton, GE, presented plans and requested a building review for the addition to the façade and exterior of building 700 which faces I-75. This also includes replacing windows (future phase) and demolishing building 701. As a result of the demolition, the present plan includes a new entry into the building as well as the basement. There are no big plans for interior work to the building as the majority of the area is used for manufacturing. The only new landscape for now will be a lawn area in front of the building. The future landscape is currently on hold until there is a meeting with ODOT. A metal paneling sample was shown to the planning commission. James Dobrozi mentioned that the materials will work and likes the blending of the architecture.
A motion was made by Rob Adams and seconded by Susan van Amerongen to recommend approval of the site plan contingent upon the review of a landscape plan by Ralph Terbrueggen.
The motion passed by a 5 yes to 0 no vote.
2. Mr. Clean Car Wash, 10199 Reading Road - Preliminary discussion of PBD amendment for oil change facility
Mr. Brady Harding, Interbrand Design Forum and Grady McCarthy, P&G Agile Pursuits presented plans to remove the existing “entry” canopy and replace with a 2 bay 2 wide oil changing station in hopes to increasing revenue by 20-25% and adding 10 full time employees. The site is currently underperforming and may be due to the traffic pattern and the lack of development in the area. The only signage would be on top of the oil changing bay doors. The building materials would match the existing structure materials. There would be 2 lanes that do not use the oil changing facility and all customers would drive through the car wash. P&G has a contract with Pennzoil for the oil changing locations in Atlanta. P&G has also applied for oil changing stations at their Liberty Township location. The EPC would have to amend the PBD and Jack Cameron mentioned that we need to keep in mind the amendment and verbiage of the PBD. Dick Shaffer is not against the idea of helping the business if
aesthetics could be worked out. Based on the meeting there are 3 EPC members not in support and 2 EPC members with possible support. P&G would need a simple majority of 3 council members with the mayor’s support and with EPC approval or would need a super majority without the EPC approval. It was then left up to P&G if they would like to pursue this request further.
3. A to Z Discount Printing, 10122 Reading Road - Site review of accessory building
Mr. Bruce Hassell is looking for approval as he would like to add an accessory building to the back corner of the property in order to keep the company truck, fork lift, lawn equipment as well as excess pallets which are currently being stored outside. The accessory building would look very similar to the back of the existing structure. The building first floor elevation would be approximately at the same height of the current structure as there would be a small ramp/concrete apron that would approach the door to the accessory building. The building would be cut into the topography and there would be no HVAC in the building. Mr. Hassell is in the process to consolidate his lots and that this accessory building would meet all required setbacks. EPC mentioned that there was contradicting information on the plans with
regards to the location of the accessory building and that we would like updated plans, a material list and a landscape plan. Mr. Hassell walked out of the meeting prior to EPC taking a vote.
A motion was made by Dick Shaffer and seconded by Dan Frank to table the discussion upon Mr. Hassell providing the additional information requested at this time.
The motion passed by a 3 yes, 1 no vote, 1 abstained.
Internal Business:
1. Report from Village Engineer
No comments.
2. Other Items
Jack Cameron informed the EPC that the CIC had 2 public input sessions with Front Street Analytics/Kinzelman Kline Gossman about the implementation of the master plan for the Village and from that meeting it was determined to focus on three areas: the old hotel site, village crossings and the Inwood property. There was also discussion on updating the zoning code through this planning process as well as property code updates.
Jack Cameron also mentioned that all of The Village of Evendale Council representatives went to GE today (March 16th) to keep the line of communication open between GE and Evendale.
3. Approval of Minutes - December 15, 2009
A motion was made by Susan van Amerongen and seconded by Dick Shaffer to approve the EPC minutes from December 15, 2009.
