[0:27] On the United States of America, interior public for which it stands, one nation under God in the middle of liberty and justice for all.
[0:43] Here. Here. Here. Here.
[0:49] Okay, first up this evening, we do have a public hearing. The Brexville Planning Commission will hold a public hearing on Thursday, August 20, 20, 26 at 7 p.m. Brexville City Hall, 9069 Brexville Road, Brexville, Ohio, to review a revised
[1:04] plan development area, rear yard setback of 27.2, for 83.56 and 83.60, Lavender Lane,
[1:13] Brexwell, Ohio, 4141, Permanent Parcel number 603-211-41, and 603-211-42. If you are here
[1:26] for this public hearing, please step up to the podium and provide your name. You want to
[1:32] If that's the site you're not staring in the center?
[1:34] No way to win.
[1:39] So please.
[1:40] Thank you.
[1:41] We know who you are, but please state your name and spelling
[1:43] for the record.
[1:44] Josh Decker, D-E-C-K-E-R.
[1:47] With Dejeronimo companies.
[1:48] Thank you.
[1:49] And could you give us presentation on your public hearing?
[1:52] So we are back for one of the duplex units on VA residential phase two.
[2:00] It is specifically for a backyard setback.
[2:02] We are requesting an additional variance of one foot, so the original was 28 foot.
[2:10] We're requesting 27 foot, the driver of this, as we've worked through over the past four or five years is working in and getting to a final floor plan.
[2:18] We missed, we did not realize that as we got closer to that final floor plan, that we were actually eight inches over the setback to the rear yard.
[2:26] this property faces towards the Sherron Williams property and the reason that we
[2:33] don't shift forward is the setback. This is in that roundabout as you go back the
[2:40] calming circle that's there is the driver for why we can't shift forward in this
[2:45] and again that parcel faces towards the Sherron Williams property. Thank you.
[2:52] As this is a public hearing, if anybody this evening is here for this topic, now is your time for any questions?
[3:02] Hearing nothing, motion to close the public hearing.
[3:05] Second, Mr. Sherwin.
[3:08] Can we get a call?
[3:10] Yes.
[3:11] Okay, that'll, can we meet in this evening?
[3:12] Ms. Cardo?
[3:13] Yes.
[3:14] Here.
[3:15] Mayor Kingston?
[3:16] Here.
[3:17] Mr. Sherwin.
[3:18] Here.
[3:19] Okay, and we will not be moving on the minutes from the last meeting as we do not have enough
[3:24] members from the last meeting here this evening so that will get pushed to the next meeting.
[3:30] And that will take us right into our signs.
[3:33] If you are here this evening for checkpoint surgical at 6600 West Snowville, please step
[3:40] up to the podium.
[3:44] and we have drives and images here. Could you give us a brief explanation of the sign in front of us?
[3:52] Yes, so we just moved our operations into the building. The fire department came through, gave us our certificate of occupancy, and they recommended that we get a sign for safety reasons.
[4:05] We are a small startup company, so we're not really into incurring extra costs, so the
[4:10] sign is not going to be cheap, so we're trying to go as small as possible and use the
[4:15] existing brackets that are already on the building.
[4:17] So there was a sign there at some point, I don't know who the tenant was, there was a few previous
[4:21] tenants before, and so it's just going to be kind of a square sign with our company logo
[4:27] on it.
[4:28] And that's this one we have here with Blue Checkpoint with a little star on the map.
[4:31] Yes, and they still haven't even told me how much it's going to cost.
[4:33] also. I know it's the first time we've had somebody tell us they want to sign as small as they can go.
[4:43] And could you provide your name and spelling of the record?
[4:47] Sure. My first name is Vanessa. My last name is Caslow. It's C-A-S, isn't Sam? L-O-W.
[4:53] Thank you. And there are no deviations or anything needed for the sign that it falls within our ordinances.
[5:01] Are there any questions for this applicant?
[5:04] Okay.
[5:04] I move for approval and building department issue a permit for a 12.56 square foot non-illuminated permanent wall identification sign for checkpoint surgical at 6650 West Snowville Road unit our Brexville Ohio as described in the application dated August 3, 2026 and attached drawing by fast signs.
[5:27] second Mr. Chairman.
[5:32] Ms. Cardo? Yes. Mr. Warmer? Yes. Mary Pinkson? Yes. Mr.
[5:37] Fria? Yes. Thank you. You are approved. Thank you. Thanks. Welcome. Am I able to?
[5:43] Okay. Cool.
[5:46] Okay. Next up, Compass South Office Building at 8180 Brexwell Road.
[5:51] If you're here for this, please step up to the podium and offer us your name and
[5:56] I'm spelling for the record.
[5:57] My name's Robert Dam, R-O-B-E-R-T,
[6:01] Dam D-A, Amazon Mary, Amazon Mary.
[6:04] Thank you.
[6:05] And you were here for the sign once before,
[6:08] so you're back in front of us with some variations.
[6:11] Can you walk us through what we have in front of us?
[6:14] Yes, I provided two separate drawings
[6:18] that make the sign a little more appealing.
[6:22] I didn't want the artist to do more
[6:25] or like a picture frame in itself,
[6:27] that's why the bottom compass south portion
[6:29] isn't encompassed, we're trying to make it look
[6:31] a little more aesthetic on that.
[6:34] I did also provide some data requested a side picture
[6:37] to show the end caps.
[6:38] I believe I sent that along with it to show
[6:41] that the ends are indeed capped.
[6:46] The variations that I provided didn't have any stipulation
[6:50] on reducing the height of the sign.
[6:53] I know that was something that was requested.
[6:56] The reason I did not provide that is after evaluating the way I could construct the
[7:01] sign, to modify the height itself or, as I believe somebody had suggested, rounding
[7:08] the corners, it would basically be a complete overhaul again, I would have to take all the
[7:17] planning off the plastic cladding the white plastic off so at that point it would just be a redo and I think we could start this conversation differently.
[7:29] Okay. Understood. Any opening up to the commission if there's any questions or comments?
[7:40] question Mr. Chairman so Mr. Jant if whichever one of these we might go with yeah
[7:45] then would you also paint I guess what we're calling the end caps I kind of
[7:52] color so like if we would if we were to choose one to decide on one of these
[7:57] options yeah would that black color or whatever it is extend wrap around wrap around
[8:03] or would it be if you wanted it to yeah I'm not I'm not like a very graphic
[8:09] person, you know, I'm a carder by trade, so like I can make it look however it has
[8:15] like, yeah, absolutely. So that black is going to be raised about three-quarter
[8:20] of an inch to give it a little dimension, and then the white lettering at the top
[8:24] would be reprinted on the one that has the black all the way across. The other one
[8:29] that would kind of park over it.
[8:34] I mean, I'll get a start of the tune.
[8:39] I mean, I like the one with the little half rounded top.
[8:43] The one I like as well.
[8:45] I like that one as well.
[8:52] Okay. So the black will be raised, the part that's around.
[8:57] So you're going to put some trim around there at the top.
[8:59] what is the height of that black the band across the top and what I'm
[9:05] wondering is if you're doing that with wood trim what is that wood trim are
[9:08] they're going to be seams in there or is that one big panel that you're cutting
[9:12] out what I'd be using is the same PVC material it would just be painted black
[9:17] okay so this is PVC yeah that's gonna that black is gonna be non-duper you
[9:22] understand trying to use materials that won't decompose so in the one that the
[9:26] The mayor had mentioned would the letters 81-80 then be raised also or I just thought
[9:33] would be since it's three quarters off the white backer to have new numbers printed
[9:41] and over top of that black so it could be raised I'm not opposed to it.
[9:47] I guess it raises another question so there's the arc area across the top is that part of
[9:54] the same PVC trim that's raised, or is that a cut out of the black?
[9:59] It would be a cut out.
[10:00] A cut out of the black, so the 81.80 is sitting on the white that's up here is planar with
[10:08] the white that's down here, so that's correct.
[10:11] We could do raised black as well.
[10:14] And I'm not pushing.
[10:15] I'm just asking a question so I understand what we see in front of us.
[10:18] So I
[10:23] think Mr. Shreya asks a good question about the sides because they are sort of wide.
[10:30] I almost wonder if the same trim that you run down the sides of these,
[10:36] that you turn the corner with the same trim and then have a white panel in the middle.
[10:40] Yeah, absolutely.
[10:41] So picture frame at the side.
[10:42] Yeah, a little picture frame.
[10:43] So that mimics the front a little bit.
[10:46] So we carry that around the side and make it a little bit three-dimensional.
[10:49] Absolutely. I think it's a great idea. I do have a question so if we go with the
[10:56] trim will any of the nails you won't go see the nails okay they'll all be covered
[11:02] okay just want to make sure that's absolutely yeah and again like it won't
[11:08] whatever you're putting into the black it won't come out. You won't see it. Okay that's
[11:13] thank you.
[11:17] I don't think I had other questions.
[11:29] So you are aware that the six-foot sign does
[11:34] require a deviation if they don't have others in this area that you know they're limited to five.
[11:40] Yes. I did to the best of my ability kind of calculate the height of the old one because I was
[11:45] Gaging everything off of that, and it was the same height as what I had remade it as it was just narrower
[11:52] so it is
[11:55] As you're describing the six foot is matching the height that it was so if it was six foot, it was a previously approved six foot height
[12:03] Yeah, okay
[12:05] Do we have that anywhere? I don't know
[12:10] I wouldn't know if that was 20 years ago because I know like that is one of the things
[12:25] that we are pretty tight on the five foot so it does look like it's there I mean it
[12:33] this is just a cap that kind of goes over top of it yeah the brick wall it just sits on top
[12:37] of the brick wall. If you can flip back and forth it does look about the same way. That does look pretty
[12:45] tall.
[12:50] That splits the metal. So equal down, equal up, up.
[12:56] That's equal down, equal up. So it's close,
[13:01] so maybe I'll put a couple inches. I just again want to, like because this is more of a long standing
[13:08] existing sign that's where the difference would be.
[13:16] So as described, the black trim would turn the ends and it would do the same picture frame.
[13:23] The black band at the top would carry the same width on the side and does
[13:33] anybody have
[13:34] any other?
[13:36] Anything else to add? Okay. Any concerns about moving forward as described?
[13:46] I move for approval and the Building Department issue a permit for a 48-square-foot ground
[13:52] identification sign for Compass South Office Building at 818-0 Brexwell Road, Brexwell,
[13:58] Ohio as described in the application dated April 6th, 2026, and shown in the attached pictures contingent on City Council's approval of the following deviations.
[14:08] So three deviations, number one, a deviation from section 1187.09C of the maximum square footage of 30 square feet to allow 48 square foot for a ground sign, a deviation from section 1187.09C of the maximum height of 5 feet to allow a 6 foot ground sign.
[14:26] and a deviation from Section 1187.09C of the minimum from the right away of five feet to allow ground sign in the right away.
[14:36] Second, Mr. Chairman.
[14:43] Yes.
[14:45] Yes. Thank you. You're approved. Thank you so much.
[14:49] Okay,
[14:57] this brings us to our reports.
[15:00] Mr. Crusos, now here this evening, Mr. Mayor, do you have a report from the Mayor's office? Mr. Chairman, no report. Thank you. Mr. Weiss, any report from engineering? No report, thank you. Thank you. And that will take us right into our work session. Mr. Decker, your backup for the revised rear yard setback. And just for all of our fans at home, could you state your name and spelling for the record? Josh Decker, the ECKER, be sure on MoCup. Thank you.
[15:29] And as discussed in the public hearing, you're here for the revised rear yard setback.
[15:41] We've already seen the presentation.
[15:44] We know what is.
[15:45] Are there any questions from the commission regarding this topic?
[15:50] I do have a question.
[15:51] You said this is in the call to sex.
[15:53] So is this a the house that would be facing?
[15:59] Do east then like
[16:05] Traffic calming Island traffic calming right so like which which way is north on this it would be facing directly the
[16:15] front of the house is facing directly north. Okay, so it's
[16:19] It's okay
[16:20] Yes, it's the backyard is to like where the pond is correct
[16:28] There's your whims where they re-graded the it's okay
[16:30] You probably have like 200 feet of area where sure whims
[16:33] Then you get that are parking lot and then they're built so building probably 400 feet away
[16:37] That way, okay, but it's still on it's on the same side as the pond not the same side is
[16:45] Like the backyard isn't 77
[16:50] show Williams and we move this way we'll hit the pool yes okay um in
[17:00] increase or decrease I
[17:03] guess in the setback of eight inches seems
[17:09] like an over an air any concerns okay um I
[17:17] move for
[17:18] final approval of a revised plan development area rear yard setback from 28 feet to 27.2 feet for
[17:26] for 8356 and 836 11 are lean, prexful Ohio, 44141, permanent parcels number 60321141 and 60321142 as described in the application dated July 23rd, 2026 and submitted site plan contingent on approval by City Council.
[17:48] Second, Mr. Chairman.
[17:52] Yes.
[17:54] Yes.
[17:56] All
[17:59] right.
[18:00] Motion to adjourn.
[18:01] Thank you.
[18:02] That's
[18:06] the little platissimum.
[18:08] And that is basically some work from...
