VILLAGE OF EVENDALE
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES
October 18, 2011
EVENDALE MUNICIPAL BUILDING
The regularly scheduled meeting of the Evendale Planning Commission (EPC) was called to order by EPC Chairman (Council Representative) Doug Lohmeier at 6:00 PM on October 18, 2011. Attending were EPC members Susan Van Amerongen and Chris Patterson. Supporting the EPC were Jack Cameron (Assistant to the Mayor), James Jeffers (Village Engineer), Pam Morin, Ralph Terbrueggen (Architectural Review Board Member), and Kathy Farro (Legal advisor to EPC.) Absent were Planning Commission Members Rob Adams and Susan VanAmerongen.
New Business:
1. Gold Medal Products
Brian Doll, Cincinnati United Contractors, spoke on behalf of Gold Medal. There are two expansions being planned. The first is 1700 sf, the second is 800 sf, both to be made along the west front of the site, one at the north end the other at the south end. Both will house offices for staff. There will be 14 additional parking spaces added along the west side of the building. The outer siding of the additions will be EFIS over split faced block. A motion was made by Ms. Van Amerongen, seconded by Mr. Patterson to approve the plans. The motion passed by a 3-0 vote.
Internal Business:
1. Chris Patterson presented the preliminary results for the Zoning Code Working Group (ZCoWG.) The group has been working through various portions of the Zoning Code, amending text, and modifying the Zoning districts to conform to the intent of the Comprehensive Master Plan. Within the next several months, a number of chapters will be ready for preliminary review. The purpose of the presentation was to finalize the process of review and approval for the Zoning Code rewrite.
Mr. Patterson suggested that each chapter be reviewed on a preliminary basis during a regularly scheduled monthly EPC meeting. After that meeting, comments, questions, and clarifications will be referred back to ZCoWG for further work. At the next subsequent meeting of the EPC, a revised chapter document will be presented for preliminary approval. Upon preliminary approval, the revised chapter document will be forwarded to Village Council for their review. The Zoning Code as a whole will need to be approved by EPC once completed, but this method of updating stakeholders and garnering feedback was deemed the best way to keep various bodies abreast of the work of the group.
A motion was made to accept this process as a way of moving forward. The motion passed 3-0.
Adjournment:
On a motion by Ms. VanAmerogen, seconded by Chris Patterson the meeting was adjourned at 7:00 pm on a 3-0 vote.
The next regular meeting is scheduled for November 15, 2011 at 6:00 PM.
