00:03:33,500 Madam Clerk, could you read the joint public hearing notice, please? 75 00:03:33,500 --> 00:03:38,500 All property owners and citizens of Fairfield, Ohio are hereby notified that a joint public hearing 76 00:03:38,500 --> 00:03:42,500 between the Planning Commission and City Council has been scheduled for 7 o'clock PM. 77 00:03:42,500 --> 00:03:47,500 Monday, February 11th, 2019 at the Fairfield Municipal Building at 5350 pleasant avenue 78 00:03:47,500 --> 00:03:50,500 for Fairfield, Ohio 45014. 79 00:03:50,500 --> 00:03:54,500 The purpose of the hearing is to solicit citizen

mentioned, we are here tonight for a request to resume this property from Planning and 90 00:04:41,500 --> 00:04:46,500 a Development PUD back to its original M2 general industrial zoning district. 91 00:04:46,500 --> 00:04:49,500 Just to kind of let you know where we're at. 92 00:04:49,500 --> 00:04:58,500 I have an area here, but the top left shows you that you're about 1,000 feet east of Route 4 on 93 00:04:58,500 --> 00:05:03,500 Mowhouser Road and then we've zoomed in so you can actually see the site in a little bit more detail. 94 00:05:03,500 --> 00:05:08,500 This, if you remember, is the former location of the Frederick Holsberger Corporation, 95 00:05:08,500 --> 00:05:14,500 which operated for about 15 years until about the mid 2000s. 96 00:05:14,500 --> 00:05:23,500 Originally there was a warehouse that was constructed in the 80s and this is the original building right here. 97 00:05:23,500 --> 00:05:31,500 In the early 1990s, Mr. Holsberger purchased a site to use as a distribution center for his hair care. 98 00:05:31,500 --> 00:05:36,500 It was a beta product, if you remember, which was a permitted use in the M2. 99 00:05:36,500 --> 00:05:43,500 Then he had a brilliant idea to consolidate all of his businesses related to that field and 100 00:05:43,500 --> 00:05:45,500 located in Fairfield. 101 00:05:45,500 --> 00:05:51,500 In order to do that, he needed to request a Planning and Development because some of the uses were not industrial. 102 00:05:51,500 --> 00:05:58,500 In 1993, he was granted that PUD and he was going to have what he called a learning and development center. 103 00:05:58,500 --> 00:06:05,500 So this included a training facility, a beauty school, a dormitory for the students, a day spa day care. 104 00:06:05,500 --> 00:06:08,500 Unfortunately, this never got off the ground. 105 00:06:08,500 --> 00:06:13,500 What he did do was he did make two additions to the building, the location, and this location. 106 00:06:13,500 --> 00:06:16,500 He did tear down two houses that were here. 107 00:06:16,500 --> 00:06:22,500 And I think one was torn down as part of the widening of Mohalza Road, as part of the overpass project. 108 00:06:22,500 --> 00:06:26,500 And he did build a greenhouse located right here. 109 00:06:26,500 --> 00:06:29,500 The property sat vacant for several years. 110 00:06:29,500 --> 00:06:32,500 In 2013, the current property owner purchased it. 111 00:06:32,500 --> 00:06:36,500 And has been using it for his construction company businesses. 112 00:06:36,500 --> 00:06:39,500 This is a zoning map of this site. 113 00:06:39,500 --> 00:06:45,500 In yellow, yes, in yellow, it is the subject site outlined in red. 114 00:06:45,500 --> 00:06:54,500 As you can see, it is surrounded by the M2 zoning with the commercial located more along route four. 115 00:06:54,500 --> 00:06:57,500 The current use is a M2 use. 116 00:06:57,500 --> 00:07:04,500 The current PUD zoning and SES opinion is really no longer applicable because it was tied to a project by the previous owner. 117 00:07:04,500 --> 00:07:08,500 And since that never really came to fruition. 118 00:07:08,500 --> 00:07:13,500 It's operating as the intended original zoning of the site. 119 00:07:13,500 --> 00:07:14,500 This is a site plan. 120 00:07:14,500 --> 00:07:19,500 As you can see, it consists of about six lots with five curb cuts. 121 00:07:19,500 --> 00:07:24,500 Again, part of the original plan by Mr. Holesberger. 122 00:07:24,500 --> 00:07:28,500 The building right here is the existing building, which is about 20,000 square feet. 123 00:07:28,500 --> 00:07:33,500 His existing parking and storage lobby has for his equipment. 124 00:07:33,500 --> 00:07:38,500 He is proposing to build about 10,000 square foot warehouse building. 125 00:07:38,500 --> 00:07:43,500 And in between these two buildings would like to use it for any equipment storage yard. 126 00:07:43,500 --> 00:07:52,500 The existing greenhouse, unfortunately, will have to be removed because it's located in the area where the applicant needs to build his building. 127 00:07:53,500 --> 00:07:56,500 I do have some pictures here of the site. 128 00:07:56,500 --> 00:07:58,500 The top is the existing parking lot. 129 00:07:58,500 --> 00:08:01,500 It's what you see heading west towards route four on Mallhouser. 130 00:08:01,500 --> 00:08:04,500 You can kind of see the equipment that he has stored there. 131 00:08:04,500 --> 00:08:08,500 Some of his vehicles as well as materials. 132 00:08:08,500 --> 00:08:11,500 He has a semi trailer there with his name on it. 133 00:08:11,500 --> 00:08:16,500 On the bottom left, that is where he wants to have his contractors. 134 00:08:16,500 --> 00:08:19,500 This, or I would say, is his equipment lot. 135 00:08:19,500 --> 00:08:22,500 To the left is the existing building. 136 00:08:22,500 --> 00:08:24,500 Down here you can see is that greenhouse. 137 00:08:24,500 --> 00:08:29,500 And then to the bottom right is a better view of where the new building will be located. 138 00:08:29,500 --> 00:08:32,500 The warehouse will be about here. 139 00:08:32,500 --> 00:08:37,500 Unfortunately, again, as we mentioned, the greenhouse will have to go. 140 00:08:37,500 --> 00:08:45,500 And then this here is just filled dirt that the applicant will have to use to fill this site because as you can see, it does sit low from the road. 141 00:08:46,500 --> 00:08:50,500 I believe that kind of wraps up my comments. 142 00:08:50,500 --> 00:08:52,500 Tonight is the public hearing. 143 00:08:52,500 --> 00:08:54,500 Wednesday is planning commission. 144 00:08:54,500 --> 00:08:55,500 It's in two days. 145 00:08:55,500 --> 00:08:57,500 We will meet at six o'clock. 146 00:08:57,500 --> 00:08:59,500 It is a public meeting. 147 00:08:59,500 --> 00:09:02,500 At that meeting, we will discuss this site and a little bit more technical detail. 148 00:09:02,500 --> 00:09:05,500 We'll kind of talk about the outdoor storage screening. 149 00:09:05,500 --> 00:09:07,500 The grab a lot at the curb cuts. 150 00:09:07,500 --> 00:09:09,500 Tonight is just a basically an overview. 151 00:09:09,500 --> 00:09:12,500 Once planning commission makes their recommendation. 152 00:09:12,500 --> 00:09:16,500 We'll set it back to you all for a second reading on the 25th. 153 00:09:16,500 --> 00:09:20,500 And then wrap it up with a third reading on March 11th. 154 00:09:20,500 --> 00:09:23,500 If you have any questions, I'd be happy to answer them. 155 00:09:23,500 --> 00:09:25,500 If not, the applicant is here. 156 00:09:25,500 --> 00:09:27,500 The owner of JTF construction. 157 00:09:27,500 --> 00:09:33,500 And he can just give you a few words of an overview of what he's proposing to do. 158 00:09:33,500 --> 00:09:36,500 Mr. Fisher. 159 00:09:37,500 --> 00:09:40,500 Thank you. 160 00:09:40,500 --> 00:09:41,500 Thanks. 161 00:09:41,500 --> 00:09:46,500 We've been drawing for years since we started over business point two years ago. 162 00:09:46,500 --> 00:09:49,500 Do you talk to the microphone? 163 00:09:49,500 --> 00:09:51,500 Yes. 164 00:09:51,500 --> 00:09:52,500 My voice usually carries. 165 00:09:52,500 --> 00:09:53,500 But we've been growing. 166 00:09:53,500 --> 00:09:54,500 We've got more equipment. 167 00:09:54,500 --> 00:09:56,500 We've had some evangelism there. 168 00:09:56,500 --> 00:10:00,500 So with the building, pretty much that building is going to be storage. 169 00:10:00,500 --> 00:10:01,500 It's going to house the equipment. 170 00:10:01,500 --> 00:10:04,500 Get a lot of things that we just recently had. 171 00:10:04,500 --> 00:10:11,500 Bob Cat's broken into door stolen dump truck stolen about nine months ago, year ago, whatever. 172 00:10:11,500 --> 00:10:13,500 And it's been an ongoing thing. 173 00:10:13,500 --> 00:10:15,500 So to secure it all, get it in the building. 174 00:10:15,500 --> 00:10:21,500 The building will match the existing building facade, paint, color, be landscaping out front. 175 00:10:21,500 --> 00:10:24,500 So it'll it'll it'll clean the side up. 176 00:10:24,500 --> 00:10:26,500 The pictures of the dirt that was up there. 177 00:10:26,500 --> 00:10:27,500 Most of that's all cleaned up. 178 00:10:27,500 --> 00:10:28,500 It was by the road. 179 00:10:28,500 --> 00:10:30,500 But it was too much to get back in here. 180 00:10:30,500 --> 00:10:32,500 We've just been stockpiling it for fill. 181 00:10:32,500 --> 00:10:35,500 So out of the assumption, we'll be able to get this done. 182 00:10:35,500 --> 00:10:36,500 So. 183 00:10:36,500 --> 00:10:40,500 But any other questions that anybody would have questions for Mr. Fisher? 184 00:10:40,500 --> 00:10:43,500 I wanted to hold a lot of detail just yet. 185 00:10:43,500 --> 00:10:44,500 Yeah, well, I don't. 186 00:10:44,500 --> 00:10:47,500 Month or Wednesday night, the planning commission meeting is going to get a lot of details. 187 00:10:47,500 --> 00:10:50,500 But I just like to want to record the thank you for buying the property. 188 00:10:50,500 --> 00:10:52,500 Several years ago and fixing it up. 189 00:10:52,500 --> 00:10:55,500 I mean, it was when Fred left. 190 00:10:55,500 --> 00:10:57,500 Wasn't in that greatest shape. 191 00:10:57,500 --> 00:11:00,500 And you guys have moved in there and been a good corpus. 192 00:11:01,500 --> 00:11:03,500 This building's going to help clean it up a lot more. 193 00:11:03,500 --> 00:11:05,500 Because a lot of the stuff we have out in the yard will. 194 00:11:05,500 --> 00:11:06,500 We'll go in this structure. 195 00:11:06,500 --> 00:11:08,500 I think it's 11,000. 196 00:11:08,500 --> 00:11:09,500 200 feet. 197 00:11:09,500 --> 00:11:11,500 It's going to be 80 by 140. 198 00:11:11,500 --> 00:11:14,500 So we'll align at the street with the face of the building. 199 00:11:14,500 --> 00:11:16,500 And then it'll look like it's meant to be there. 200 00:11:16,500 --> 00:11:17,500 That's great. 201 00:11:17,500 --> 00:11:20,500 And then we'll also have some flat fencing on the fence of the fence in the yard. 202 00:11:20,500 --> 00:11:23,500 So you won't see anything that's stored in that yard. 203 00:11:23,500 --> 00:11:24,500 Great. 204 00:11:24,500 --> 00:11:25,500 So it'll clean it up all the way around. 205 00:11:25,500 --> 00:11:26,500 That's great. 206 00:11:26,500 --> 00:11:27,500 Well, thank you Mr. Fisher. 207 00:11:27,500 --> 00:11:28,500 Which is coming in. 208 00:11:28,500 --> 00:11:29,500 I appreciate you. 209 00:11:29,500 --> 00:11:30,500 Thank you. 210 00:11:30,500 --> 00:11:32,500 Any other comments from Council? 211 00:11:32,500 --> 00:11:33,500 Okay. 212 00:11:33,500 --> 00:11:36,500 We'll go ahead and close out to public hearing at this point. 213 00:11:36,500 --> 00:11:40,500 And we'll move to the Plan Commission on their next meeting. 214 00:11:40,500 --> 00:11:43,500 And again, I'd always want to thank the Plan Commission for their time. 215 00:11:43,500 --> 00:11:47,500 Not just in being here tonight, but for all you do to help us make our city better. 216 00:11:47,500 --> 00:11:48,500 So thank you. 217 00:11:48,500 --> 00:11:53,500 Next, we have the regular meeting minutes from January 28, 2019 in the packets. 218 00:11:53,500 --> 00:11:57,500 Are there any additions, additions, corrections to those? 219 00:11:57,500 --> 00:12:00,500 Seeing none, we'll let those stay in approved as written as submitted. 220 00:12:00,500 --> 00:12:03,500 All of business Council member Bezel. 221 00:12:03,500

updates from the city through text or email. 230 00:12:44,500 --> 00:12:45,500 That's it. 231 00:12:45,500 --> 00:12:46,500 Thank you, Councilmember. 232 00:12:46,500 --> 00:12:49,500 Next, we'll move to the Development Services Councilmember Wojty. 233 00:12:49,500 --> 00:12:50,500 Thank you, Mr. Mayor. 234 00:12:50,500 --> 00:12:51,500 I do have two ordinances. 235 00:12:51,500 --> 00:12:55,500 The first ordinance is an ordinance and many ordinance number 166-884. 236 00:12:55,500 --> 00:12:59,500 The codified ordinances of Fairfield Ohio Section 1141.02. 237 00:12:59,500 --> 00:13:04,500 The city of Fairfield Ohio zoning map by approving an amendment to the final 238 00:13:04,500 --> 00:13:09,500 Development Plan for the Sims and Pleasant Plan Unit Development. 239 00:13:09,500 --> 00:13:11,500 This is the third reading. 240 00:13:11,500 --> 00:13:12,500 Okay. 241 00:13:12,500 --> 00:13:16,500 With that, I'm sure you're going to make a motion for adoption. 242 00:13:16,500 --> 00:13:17,500 Yes. 243 00:13:17,500 --> 00:13:18,500 Okay. 244 00:13:19,500 --> 00:13:23,500 We will hold the vote because we know there's folks here that would like to speak in the audience. 245 00:13:23,500 --> 00:13:29,500 And I would invite anyone to come up now to speak about this ordinance and this change in the zoning. 246 00:13:29,500 --> 00:13:31,500 If you would so wish. 247 00:13:39,500 --> 00:13:42,500 I'm Ronald Roberto with three maximum move. 248 00:13:42,500 --> 00:13:45,500 I'm representing my client to purchase the property. 249 00:13:45,500 --> 00:14:00,500 I just wanted to speak on as to why we hope that you will vote in favor of adopting the allowing this property to be used as the client wishes for a grocery store. 250 00:14:00,500 --> 00:14:06,500 We feel the property would not be inversely affected by the insertion of a grocery store in this space. 251 00:14:06,500 --> 00:14:07,500 Why do I say that? 252 00:14:07,500 --> 00:14:09,500 Because the curb carts aren't changing. 253 00:14:09,500 --> 00:14:11,500 The parking lot spaces are not changing. 254 00:14:12,500 --> 00:14:14,500 It's still going to face the back end of Walgreens. 255 00:14:14,500 --> 00:14:16,500 They're not going to mean lights in the windows. 256 00:14:16,500 --> 00:14:21,500 Everything that the fairfield has asked that we tell our client to do. 257 00:14:21,500 --> 00:14:26,500 He is willingly accepted all the restrictions that you want to put on them. 258 00:14:32,500 --> 00:14:38,500 The hours we've restricted the hours even further than Walgreens has in place. 259 00:14:38,500 --> 00:14:44,500 I believe my client is really tried as best to see a good corporate citizen. 260 00:14:44,500 --> 00:14:52,500 He's trying to serve the community at large that's a Napoleon population that is coming into the area. 261 00:14:52,500 --> 00:14:59,500 And that's the purpose of this store is to provide goods and services to knowledge and Napoleon people for food but also the Asian. 262 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:08,000 And so he feels that he's done his research, he feels he can be successful in the area, and he hoped that you will allow him to be there. 263 00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:09,000 Okay. 264 00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:10,000 Well, thank you. 265 00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:13,000 Is there any comments from Council at this point? 266 00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:16,000 Seeing none. 267 00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:18,000 Is there any other comment from the audience? 268 00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:21,000 Oh, any other comments from the audience? I'm sorry. 269 00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:34,000 Hi. Good evening. My name is Chabi Nio Peni. 270 00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:41,000 I'm a real director at Remax, also where Ron and I work out of the same office. 271 00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:46,000 And I know this applicant, Narayan Tungel. 272 00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:53,000 He has been a grocery owner for a long time, even back home in Nepal. 273 00:15:53,000 --> 00:16:01,000 He, as a young guy, he was a business owner and had two grocery stores in Chicago. 274 00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:10,000 And he sold both of them and moved here because a lot of people are moving to this area, making this fair fill area they're home. 275 00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:14,000 And there's a need for the grocery store. 276 00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:25,000 And being very successful in his business in the past, he thinks he can operate this business very successfully even here. 277 00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:31,000 And I want to talk a little bit about the kind of people, the type of people who are. 278 00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:36,000 Myself and the applicant share the same values. 279 00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:39,000 We have the same culture and tradition. 280 00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:46,000 And we are very humble, very kind, hearted people, very helpful to others. 281 00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:59,000 And just I want to bring this up because maybe the people who do not know us, maybe thinking that what kind of people are coming and doing business in our neighborhood. 282 00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:10,000 So, be very happy that we are very good people, very humble and helpful. 283 00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:16,000 So, there is an old question that he will be unsuccessful in his business. 284 00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:27,000 He owns this building and he will maintain the property and I'm pretty sure it's not going to be detrimental to the neighborhood. 285 00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:34,000 Because he's going to operate his business and he wants to make this building look very nice. 286 00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:44,000 So, instead of keeping this building vacant like this, if he uses for his business, it's going to be pretty. 287 00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:49,000 And the community looks even better than what it looks now. 288 00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:55,000 So, I'm of the opinion that he should be allowed to operate his business in this building. 289 00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:58,000 Thank you for being here tonight and providing us your opinion. 290 00:17:58,000 --> 00:17:59,000 Thank you. 291 00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:00,000 Thank you. 292 00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:02,000 So, any other comments? 293 00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:20,000 You guys have heard me speak before, Jim Hall, at 4619, Pleasant Avenue. 294 00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:31,000 The neighbors were still, we don't see any for another convenience store there, selling beer, wine, cigarettes, lottery tickets. 295 00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:36,000 I wish him all the well and his new adventure, but I just don't think that's the right place for him. 296 00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:47,000 I hope you guys stick with the original PUD of 2001 that we spend a lot of time with to make that an entrance in the fairfield and trust we get your vote on that. 297 00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:48,000 Thank you. 298 00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:53,000 Any other comments? 299 00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:56,000 Yes. 300 00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:59,000 I'm sorry. 301 00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:05,000 I'm Harry Bound, 4627 Pleasant Avenue, I've spoken before, also. 302 00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:17,000 Again, I want to repeat, as Jim has said, we'd like it to stay a PUD property, just because that's what it was made for. 303 00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:25,000 There was a reason that the city decided to do that and that was to keep the residential part of the community intact. 304 00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:33,000 The buildings are buffer and when it becomes a, if it becomes a grocery store, it's not going to be such. 305 00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:39,000 I mean, that building is built for someone to be there and leave after five o'clock. 306 00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:44,000 As far as it changes on the building, I think the changes will be substantial. 307 00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:48,000 It'll look like it's somebody put a door in a wall. 308 00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:52,000 I don't think that's going to improve the community ending. 309 00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:57,000 And for me, personally, my house is directly across from that driveway. 310 00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:02,000 So all the cars that come through that driveway shine their headlights into my house. 311 00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:08,000 Which is, you know, so that's just going to add more traffic for my property. 312 00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:15,000 But my wife and I stand with everybody else, all the neighbors, to say that we wanted to stay as it is. 313 00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:17,000 Thank you, Mr. Bell. 314 00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:22,000 Thank you. 315 00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:24,000 Now we'll move the council. 316 00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:26,000 Any comments from council members? 317 00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:27,000 Yes. 318 00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:33,000 I'm speaking 100% for myself, not representing this city, for any of these people sitting up here. 319 00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:38,000 I feel that this gentleman has been let down by his realtors. 320 00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:41,000 I'm not doing their diligence. 321 00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:46,000 And finding out this was going to be a problem after it was purchased. 322 00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:49,000 I don't know if it's going to pass or not. 323 00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:55,000 If it does not pass, I will more than happy take the perspective owner and drive him around the city, 324 00:20:55,000 --> 00:21:01,000 showing the other properties that would work well for him and help him anyway I can. 325 00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:03,000 And council. 326 00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:05,000 Any other comments from council tonight? 327 00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:09,000 Seeing that in the madam clerk, who do a roll call vote on this place? 328 00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:13,000 Oh, and so we have council member, 329 00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:16,000 Lucy has made a motion for adoption. 330 00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:17,000 Do we have a second? 331 00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:18,000 Second? 332 00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:20,000 We have a motion and a second for adoption. 333 00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:22,000 Can we have a roll call vote? 334 00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:23,000 Madam clerk. 335 00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:24,000 Council member Pennington? 336 00:21:24,000 -->
