PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES

EVENDALE MUNICIPAL BUILDING
The regular March meeting of the Evendale Planning Commission (EPC) was called to order by Rob Adams at 6:00 PM on November 16, 2010. Attending were EPC members, Rob Adams, Susan van Amerongen, Dan Frank, and Chris Patterson. Supporting the EPC were Jack Cameron, Pam Morin, James Jeffers (Village Engineer), James Dobrozi (Architectural Review Board Member) and Ralph Terbrueggen (Architectural Review Board Member) and Kathy Farro (Planner, Manley Burke).

New Business:
1. City of Cincinnati Firing Range, 10139 Spartan Drive - Site review of addition to shooting facility building
Mr. Joe Brashear with Brashear Bolton, Inc. Architects presented the plans along with Mr. Adam Kuehoe with HGC construction.
The shooting range has been with the City of Cincinnati prior to Evendale becoming established.
Over the years the village of Woodlawn and the city of Lincoln Heights have filed various complaints regarding the shooting range. The purpose of this modification is to enhance the safety of the firing range and not to add firing “lanes”. The budget for this project is around $1,000,000 and there would be no new lighting or electrical components.
Mr. Brashear provided a vicinity plan, range plan and sections, site photos, safety baffle data and stock photo of the proposed pre-engineered metal shelter. The shelter serves two purposes a) it provides shelter from the sun and rain and b) suspends the baffle system. The baffle system is used to stop and catch “fliers” during inadvertent shots. Plans also call for an additional bullet trap to be installed which is the same as the one that is currently on site.
A motion was made by Susan VanAmerongen and seconded by Chris Patterson to approve the site plan of this non conforming use based on the recommendation by Kathy Farro’s report provided to the EPC by a 4-0 vote.
Internal Business:
1. Discussion of the St. Rita Lane area.
The enclosed marketing brochure is based on CIC and Front Street concepts. There are currently three options and the village would like EPC input.
Based on EPC input it was determined to show 3 options of equal importance with the options being a) office/hotel with few outlot parcels b) a destination retailer or headquarters or c) an option that shows the road being relocated. No labels will be shown on plans.
EPC can modify the land use as we deem necessary. EPC would also like to rule out potential end users such as heavy industrial , gas stations, shooting range to name a few. Light industrial can be a potential use.
2. Report from Village Engineer
No comments.
3. Other Items
Workshop meeting is scheduled on 12/04/10 at the Boy Scouts facility. The tentative time is 9am to 1pm.
4. Approval of Minutes - October 19, 2010
A motion was made by Susan van Amerongen and seconded by Chris Patterson to approve the EPC minutes from October 19, 2010 with one modification. Under Internal Business item 2: Solo should be spelled So-Low.
The motion passed by a 4 yes 0 no vote
On a motion to adjourn the meeting by Susan VanAmerongen and seconded by Rob Adams, the meeting was adjourned at 7:15 PM by a 4 yes 0 no vote.
The next regular meeting is scheduled for December 21, 2010 at 6:00 PM.
