VILLAGE OF EVENDALE
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES
April 20, 2010
EVENDALE MUNICIPAL BUILDING
The regular March meeting of the Evendale Planning Commission (EPC) was called to order by Doug Lohmeier at 6:00 PM on April 20, 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, Ralph Terbrueggen (Architectural Review Board Member) and James Dobrozsi (Architectural Review Board Member).
New Business:
1. So-Low Environmental, 10310 Spartan Drive
Preliminary review of site plan
Mr. Gary Hart, H&H structural Construction and Mr. Jim Schum, So-Low Environmental, manufacturer of ultra low freezers which are mostly used in the medical field, presented preliminary plans to the Evendale Planning Commission. Jack Cameron mentioned some preliminary findings/issues. So-low would like to purchase a 25’ wide section of land from the Village of Evendale and the lot coverage would need a variance. Jack thinks the request to purchase the land is reasonable as this is unusable land for the Village. Mr. Schum said they walked the site with the appropriate people from the village and that they would not have to increase parking.
Mr. Schum informed the EPC that So-Low has been in its current location since 1976 and that the last addition was in 2000. S0-Low has currently maxed out its production space at the current location and that they have a 21,000 s.f. warehouse location in Woodlawn. The addition would be used for production and would be in good shape (size wise) for a long time. So-Low would look to hire 8-10 employees within a 2 year time span. So-Low’s products are shipped all over the world.
A motion was made by Dick Shaffer and seconded by Dan Frank to recommend So-Low move forward with submitting final plans.
The motion passed by a 5 yes to 0 no vote.
Old Business:
1. A to Z Discount Printing, 10122 Reading Road
Site review of accessory building
Doug Lohmeier read the following statement:
“Since the commission is in receipt of a letter from Mr. Hassel which contains a variety of inaccuracies; I would like the record state that if Mr. Hassel’s original submission would have been as accurate and complete as the one we have before us tonight, we would have had a much clearer understanding for his request. The commission has not requested anything more than normal information we would ask from anyone else.”
No one was available to represent A to Z Discount Printing. Planning Commission has a few concerns regarding the proposed accessory building which include the buffer or lack there of for winter screening between said property and Cincinnati State; the proposed building material and the lack of painted trim colors.
A motion was made by Susan van Amerongen and seconded by Dick Shaffer to approve the accessory building with the following conditions:
• The approval of the consolidations of lots.
• That a minimum of a 10’ landscape buffer between accessory building and Cincinnati State be incorporated.
• That the man door shall have a painted trim surrounding it as well as the gable facing Reading Road. The paint color shall match the new (previous) addition gable and trim of the main building.
