Site and Operation Plan amendment and an amended Conditional Use Grant for a
property located in the SE ¼ and NE ¼ of Section 25 (Tax Key No.2257.973.001), and
WHEREAS, The current approved Building, Site, and Operation plans allow one building

landscaping, parking, and stormwater arrangements, and
WHEREAS, The property currently has conditional use grants allowing mini-warehouse
storage and the allowance of eight vehicles for sale in assigned parking stalls, and
WHEREAS, The petitioner proposes to amend the conditional use grant to remove the
allowance for eight vehicles for sale and to now allow the use of an auto-repair business
to operate out of the office space in the northern building and to allow the parking of two
rental vehicles in the two northernmost parking stalls on the property, and
WHEREAS, The petitioner proposes to amend the approved Building, Site, and
Operation plans to allow the following:
1. Change the eight parking stalls along the corner of USH 45 and Loomis
Court from allowing 8 vehicles for sale to allowing 6 of the stalls for
employee and customer parking for the auto-repair business and 2 of the
stalls for the parking of rental vehicles (With only one spot to
accommodate a rental vehicle of 26 feet at any one time).
2. Convert an open space area along Loomis Court to an enclosed area for
outdoor storage of vehicles, trailers, and rental units.
3. Change the building elevation of the building on the northern portion of
the property to include 7 new windows.
4. Allow 50 square feet of space in front of the office of the building on the
southern portion of the property to be used for the display of goods for
sale.
WHEREAS, Said use is a permitted use in the B-4 District by Conditional Use Grant, and
a public hearing has been conducted by the Plan Commission on April 19, 2005, and
WHEREAS, The parking for the auto-repair business will now include 8 total stalls for
employee and customer use and is sufficient for said use, and
WHEREAS, The fencing surrounding the outdoor storage is proposed to be shielded
with a six foot high chain link fence with brown colored privacy slats, and
WHEREAS, Parking areas should be as inconspicuous as possible and the allowance of
rental trucks in front of the business may not fall under the design criteria for this area,
and
WHERAS, Outdoor storage of goods for sale is not restricted by the Durham Hill Design
Guide, and
WHEREAS, The 2010 Comprehensive Plan depicts the area for commercial use and the
proposed use conforms to these regulations, and
WHEREAS, Said property is currently zoned B-4 requiring parcels of 30,000 square feet
and 150 feet in width and parcel conforms to these regulations, and
WHEREAS, The adopted Conservation Plan does not outline the area for acquisition or
management initiatives, and
WHEREAS, The adopted 2003-2007 Park and Open Space Plan does not propose
acquisitions in the area, and
WHEREAS, The proposal is consistent with the 2010 Street System Plan, and
WHEREAS, Said parcel will be serviced by municipal sanitary sewer and private well,
and
WHEREAS, On April 22, 2005, signage details were submitted to be included as
part of the BSO and sign #1 is a monument sign that is 42 by 96 inches and is
made of MDO Plywood, rough sawed posts, external ground lamination, and will
have vinyl lettering and all colors will match those found on the principal
structures and sign #2 is a 24” by 41” hard plastic material sign that would be
attached to the pillar fronting the office in the southern building on the parcel, and
WHEREAS, The property is subject to Chapter 34 of the Municipal Code, and a
stormwater management plan has been submitted to the Engineering Department for
previous Building, Site and Operation Plans, and new calculations may be required by
the Engineering Department before the new developments take place on the property.
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, That the Plan Commission approves of an amended
Building, Site and Operation Plan and an amended Conditional Use Grant for the
George Alex property located in the SE ¼ and NE ¼ of Section 25 (Tax Key No.
2257.973.001).
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That all rental units and trucks shall be located in the
fenced in portion of the property along Loomis Court and the two proposed stalls for
rental units along the corner of the property shall be used for parking for employees and
customers of the auto-repair business.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That the Plan Commission finds the monument sign
to meet the Durham Hill Design requirements and allows approval subject to all
colors being used shall represent those found on the principal structures for the
property and subject to the lighting being controlled to only illuminate only the
sign face with 70 watt bulbs so no light pollution is associated.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That the Plan Commission finds the sign to be hung
from the pillar of the southern building office façade to be disapproved as wall
signage already exists for this building and additional signage may be taken care
of within the existing approved signage or within the right-of-way monument sign
for the property.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That no outdoor storage of vehicles, materials and other
miscellaneous objects are allowed except for those approved by this resolution.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That other ancillary signage on the property is expressly
prohibited unless specifically regulated by Section 17:6.09 of the Municipal Code.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, Stormwater management plans are required by the
Engineering Department and the petitioner must consult the Engineering Director before
any new improvements are made to the site.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That the outdoor storage for the office located in the
southern building can only be within the extents shown in the plans submitted and the
display is limited to store hours with a maximum of 5 small motor vehicles at one time.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That all previous contingencies from prior resolutions that
haven’t changed as a result of this resolution still apply.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That a copy of said plans be kept on file in the Building
Department and that all aspect of this plan as they relate to landscape areas and
drainage shall be maintained in perpetuity unless otherwise authorized by the Plan
Commission.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That failure to comply with the approval contained in this
resolution shall result in the imposition of fines of $100 per day, the initiation of legal
action, or both.
