We have three items on the agenda today.
The first item is
[1:23]
development variance 260009.

Chamberlain Road for construction of a
residential accessory structure.
[1:37]
Will the applicant please come to the
podium? Please state your name and
[1:40]

nature of your request.
[1:45]
» Nathan Duke, uh 9801
Chamberlain Road, Westerville, 44087.
[1:51]
Uh we're looking to build an accessory
structure
[1:55]
to
to park uh
[1:58]
larger vehicles in, uh, that require
door height, uh, greater than 4
[2:03]
13 ft. So, 14-ft door.
[2:14]
» I'll now open this case to public
comment. Is there anyone present that
[2:18]
would like to speak for or against this
request?
[2:23]
Come on up to the podium.
[2:27]
And, uh, state your name and address for
the record.
[2:33]
» Is this your microphone?
[2:36]
» Hi.
Oh, it is. Yeah. It is. Yeah.
[2:54]
Thank you.
[2:58]
Mhm. Yeah, okay.
[3:03]
Good evening. My name is Shannon Smith.
I live at 9789 Chamberlain Road in
[3:09]
Twinsburg, and this is my husband, Dan.
Thank you for giving us the opportunity
[3:13]
to speak tonight. We live directly
beside the property in question and the
[3:17]
proposed detached garage
that will be positioned parallel to our
[3:22]
property line, meaning that we will be
looking at the long side of the
[3:25]
structure from our property.
We are here to respectfully, sorry,
[3:30]
oppose all three variances being
requested for this proposed structure.
[3:35]
We are not opposed to our neighbors
having a garage, and we understand that
[3:39]
they want to use their property. Our
concern is the size, scale, and
[3:44]
placement of this particular structure
and the impact it will have on our home
[3:49]
and property.
I think it is especially important the
[3:52]
board consider this from our perspective
because the rendering we were shown when
[3:57]
I um contacted someone and they sent us
the plans and the picture
[4:02]
um it does not show what we will see
from our property.
[4:08]
We have provided a picture of the
proposed plan that I was given and our
[4:11]
part of the driveway and a small portion
of our house is at the bottom of the
[4:15]
plan labeled Smith
and the proposed structure will be on
[4:18]
the other side of our property line.
The side of the proposed detached garage
[4:23]
facing our property is approximately 62
ft wide and 24 ft high
[4:28]
with only 30 ft between the structure
and our property line.
[4:31]
We have provided AI renderings showing
the view from the backyard of our home.
[4:36]
In those images, the top half shows our
current view and the bottom half shows
[4:40]
what that view could possibly or will
look like with the proposed structure
[4:44]
and you can see there is a vast
difference.
[4:47]
The view of our front yard will also be
affected.
[4:50]
30 ft may sound like a substantial
setback until you consider what is being
[4:54]
placed 30 ft away, a 24-ft tall building
with a 62-ft wide side facing our home
[5:02]
and the structure continues with
additional sections making the overall
[5:05]
footprint extremely large.
So our view will not be of the front of
[5:11]
a typical residential garage. We will
primarily be looking at the side of a
[5:15]
very large building. It will become a
dominant part of the scenery from our
[5:19]
property and from multiple rooms and
bedrooms in our home.
[5:22]
» [snorts]
>> There is also no other residence on
[5:24]
Chamberlain Road with a garage
comparable to this size and scale.
[5:29]
Living on Chamberlain Road, we do not
have an HOA, so there are no private
[5:33]
neighborhood restrictions that provide
additional protection for our
[5:36]
neighboring homeowners. We rely on the
city's zoning regulations and this board
[5:41]
to maintain reasonable standards between
properties. That makes it especially
[5:45]
important to us that the zoning
requirements of our upheld.
[5:49]
We are also concerned about more than
just the proposed use today. A structure
[5:53]
this large will remain on the property
for many years.
[5:56]
Potentially through change ins and
changes in ownership or use. We cannot
[6:01]
know what that building may eventually
be used for and we are particularly
[6:04]
particularly concerned about the
potential for increased noise and
[6:09]
activity in the future.
We contacted the realtor who sold us our
[6:14]
home in 2023. I gave her the plans. She
looked at the proposed plans and said
[6:19]
that's not a garage, that's a factory,
that's huge. She also said it's an
[6:23]
eyesore, sorry. I know those are strong
words, but they help put our concerns
[6:27]
into perspective cuz we are very
concerned.
[6:30]
We asked if the proposed detached garage
will affect our property value. She said
[6:35]
it will have an impact on those values
given the change of scenery from
[6:39]
residential wooded to commercial
industrial look. This isn't simply about
[6:43]
us not liking the appearance of a
neighbor's garage. It is about the
[6:46]
extraordinary scale of the structure in
relation to the residential properties
[6:51]
surrounding it.
We respect our neighbors and their right
[6:54]
to use their property, of course. But we
also believe that our property and our
[6:57]
property and our reasonable enjoyment of
our home deserve consideration.
[7:02]
We are asking the board to look beyond
the front rendering and consider what
[7:06]
this will actually look like from our
home. The scale of the structure being
[7:10]
placed 30 ft from our property line and
the long-term impact of granting these
[7:15]
variances. For those reasons, we
respectfully ask that you deny all three
[7:19]
variances and thank you for hearing our
concerns.
[7:24]
» Thank you.
Is there anyone else who wishes to
[7:28]
speak?
[7:31]
If none, we'll move on to a board
discussion.
[7:34]
One of any questions or thoughts for the
applicant?
[7:36]
» I have I have a question.
For the applicant,
[7:40]
my name is Rick Patz.
Um
[7:45]
You You have a a camper, correct, that
you want to store inside?
[7:48]
» Correct.
>> But I see you've got two doors in this
[7:51]
this drawing that I've got here. Is
there
[7:54]
Am I missing something there?
>> So, there's a
[7:57]
» I can't You're going to have to come up
to the microphone. I'm sorry.
[8:01]
» The left or the right side door is for
camper storage, and then the left side
[8:07]
door is for other vehicles, but just for
ease of access having
[8:11]
» Both 14-ft high?
>> Correct. Both 14-ft high.
[8:16]
» And then um
How big is your camper?
[8:20]
» Uh mine is 36 ft.
>> 9 by 36?
[8:25]
» It's Yeah, 9 by 36.
>> Okay.
[8:27]
» With plans for a larger
>> of space left in that in that building,
[8:31]
then.
>> Well, with plans for larger and a the
[8:33]
tow vehicle
>> I You're going to have to speak into the
[8:35]
microphone.
>> With plans for larger RV with the tow
[8:39]
vehicle parked in front for storage.
[8:43]
» I just kind of feel it's it's overkill
right now. That's all.
[8:47]
But um
That doesn't You haven't got that listed
[8:50]
in any of your documentation that you're
going to upgrade.
[8:53]
» Oh, okay.
[8:57]
» Okay, that's my question for now.
>> Okay.
[8:59]
» Just two The two garage doors are a
little bit concerning to me.
[9:03]
» So, how high are those garage doors?
>> 14 ft.
[9:06]
» 14 ft tall.
[9:10]
» Is there another man door or another uh
overhead door that's going to be in
[9:13]
there anywhere?
>> There's a man door on the left side of
[9:16]
the building.
>> Those are the only two overhead doors
[9:20]
you have?
>> Correct.
[9:24]
» Okay.
And this this is bigger than what your
[9:28]
house is. And I I read your
documentation that you've got
[9:31]
documentation that you could be 19 You
could show us documentation where your
[9:35]
house is 1,900 sq feet.
>> Correct.
[9:37]
» But this is 2450 square feet.
>> Roughly, yeah. It's finished square
[9:42]
square footage on the inside is just
under 2400.
[9:47]
Of finished concrete floor space.
>> Or is there going to be an upstairs in
[9:51]
there?
>> No.
[9:56]
» That's why I'm done with it.
Thank you.
[10:00]
» Okay, so then just as far as the height
is concerned. So you said there's no
[10:05]
upstairs. So the interior height, I
think you said about 16 ft.
[10:08]
» Just, yeah, 16 ft 6 in.
>> Then is the height of the building is it
[10:13]
necessary for it to be as tall as it is?
Like can that be brought down?
[10:17]
» Uh
with the garage door going up, you need
[10:20]
that the space for the openers and it
would need to be that high to for
[10:25]
clearance.
>> Okay, then as far as the the depth of
[10:28]
the building [snorts] being about 60 62
ft. You said your RV is 36 ft.
[10:34]
» Roughly 36 and the veto vehicle in front
roughly about 15 to 20.
[10:39]
» Okay, so it's a vehicle that would be
towed by
[10:42]
» Towed. The vehicle would be towing the
RV, yes.
[10:44]
» Okay, that's why you're
the 60 ft is how it's both RV and the
[10:49]
attached vehicle.
>> Correct.
[10:52]
» I have another question. Do you have any
plans on landscaping on the the side
[10:56]
towards your neighbors?
>> Yes.
[10:58]
» That's not listed in here.
>> No, that I didn't get that far with the
[11:02]
the planning, but the plan is to run
down the side um where it's going to be
[11:09]
exposed is run down the side with uh
either a mulch bed or gravel bed with
[11:14]
arborvitae or some sort of
foundation coverage uh
[11:18]
low level plant down the side.
[11:24]
» Got quite a thicket between the two of
you right now anyways.
[11:27]
» Correct. Yeah.
>> Except in the fall.
[11:29]
» Yeah, except there fall. Right now it's
pretty grown up, but
[11:35]
Okay.
>> I have another question.
[11:40]
Um, it's Tom Brown. Uh
Is there another location on your lot?
[11:46]
I I see I know you have a pole barn back
there.
[11:50]
However, if you moved it back, you know,
behind
[11:55]
Okay, yeah, I would constitute putting
in a uh an another driveway, but that's
[11:59]
a heck of a lot better to look at than
than
[12:03]
Okay. This is a building.
>> Problem with going in the back is the
[12:06]
way the elevation goes. It drops real
far, and that is wet back there
[12:12]
from
as soon as it thaws to
[12:15]
middle of July. I can't mow sections of
the the ditch back there.
[12:20]
So, having access back there with a
vehicle of that size and weight, you
[12:24]
wouldn't be able to get
back to it.
[12:27]
» Have you considered the effect of the
value on your neighbor's property
[12:33]
with these two high doors and building?
>> I have. I figured it would be a
[12:39]
would bring the value up considering
what's across the street and next door
[12:42]
to me on the other side.
With a building that's
[12:46]
» with anybody in that regard that that
has the expertise to value things?
[12:51]
» I haven't gone I haven't evaluated
anything, but the house across street
[12:55]
you can't see from the road cuz it's all
overgrown, and there's a barn next door
[12:58]
to me with a hole in the roof.
>> Yeah, I'm talking about the effect upon
[13:02]
your neighbor's property.
>> I haven't.
[13:05]
» across the street.
>> Across the street?
[13:08]
» Not I'm not talking about what's across
the street. I'm talking about the effect
[13:13]
of the value of these doors, that
building on your neighbor's property.
[13:18]
» I have not
gone that far with with the
[13:22]
the stone front facade and the
uh vinyl siding, it would look
[13:28]
residential. And the doors are have
windows in them and
[13:35]
it's not a
commercial building.
[13:42]
» I have a question, Mr. Chair. Um,
you've said that the tow vehicle you'd
[13:50]
like to park it in the same bay as the
RV.
[13:54]
» Correct.
>> But do you have to? Can't Can't the
[13:57]
truck or whatever you'll tow with be in
the other bay? I mean, does it Does Is
[14:02]
that length the depth of the building?
>> would be other storage in the other bay
[14:06]
and other vehicles as well.
We have a I have a couple classic cars
[14:11]
that I would park over there just to
keep
[14:14]
out of the weather and
>> It's sounding to me like the
[14:17]
the height's an issue, but the larger
issue for your neighbor is the
[14:22]
um,
very deep length of the building. And
[14:26]
so,
when you request a variance, you're
[14:28]
asked to request the minimum
that allows you
[14:33]
to to do what you need to do. And it
sounds like your primary concern is for
[14:39]
parking the RV. And that's the reason
for the the tall
[14:45]
um, overhead door and the height of the
building.
[14:48]
» Correct.
>> an attached garage. Um, you have a pole
[14:51]
barn to store things. Um,
another observation here is
[14:56]
that this is a 4-acre lot, so this is a
really big residential lot. But what I
[15:01]
also hear him saying is most of the lot
isn't available for use for an accessory
[15:05]
building of this nature. So, while he
has a 4-acre lot, he doesn't really have
[15:10]
a configuration
that, um, supports
[15:15]
um, minimizing the scale of the
building. Does that make sense?
[15:21]
Um, because it has to be up front. He's
saying the garage really needs to be
[15:25]
located at the
at the setback distance of the house
[15:29]
which is the setback distance of the
neighboring house. So while there's a
[15:32]
whole big
lot to
[15:36]
theoretically support the building, it
doesn't really because of the topography
[15:41]
of the site. So
um
[15:45]
With that in mind,
you're kind of getting the best of the
[15:50]
lot area in terms of supporting this
size, but you're not getting any kind of
[15:55]
mitigation of it because it has to be up
front by the house.
[16:02]
» I guess I my my question would be why
detached? Why not attach it to the
[16:07]
house?
>> I thought that would look a lot worse,
[16:11]
honestly. But I almost think that takes
away one variance. But like you again
[16:15]
like It does take away a variance, but
the aesthetics of it, the for your house
[16:20]
» you think aesthetically putting a
24 high building 60 ft long looks bad on
[16:26]
your house. But how does You know what I
mean? By putting it closer to their
[16:30]
house, that's what I think where we're
coming at from. So I think I'll just say
[16:35]
it straight up like we got to get it
shorter and we got to get it moved
[16:37]
closer to the to the building. That's
kind of where I stand.
[16:41]
» Mr. Gruber, that's exactly how I feel
about it. I at this particular point in
[16:45]
time, there's so many questions.
>> Yeah.
[16:48]
» Uh okay, moving it moving it around to
the back closer to the house
[16:54]
and performing that,
would that do anything topographically
[16:58]
as far as the softness of the ground and
things of that nature?
[17:03]
We need We need more information on this
and as I see it right now, I'm not
[17:07]
willing to
>> I I'm not either. I think it's an
[17:09]
aesthetic disaster to the adjoining
house.
[17:13]
» I agree with you. I agree with you guys.
I
[17:16]
I mean I visited I visited it today.
Uh
[17:20]
spent a lot of time looking at it uh
from the road.
[17:24]
Uh
I and I can't see any way that that your
[17:27]
neighbor's would be protected from
a building that size.
[17:33]
» Mr. Chairman, if if if I could, I'd like
to
[17:37]
uh make a motion
that
[17:40]
» You may need just 1 second.
>> So, you can kind of see where the board
[17:45]
is heading on this. So, what I want to
give you Yeah.
[17:49]
Is there a way to come back with
something
[17:52]
that's minimal
to the variances that you need?
[17:56]
So, location, like
size. Is there a way that you can
[18:02]
rework this plan and bring us something
that we could consider
[18:07]
» I think I could shrink it down
lengthwise by about 10 ft.
[18:13]
Maybe a little bit more. Um width-wise,
I would still
[18:17]
need for storage access for storage
purposes.
[18:21]
Um height-wise, anything shorter, I
wouldn't be able to get into and use it
[18:26]
for what I need.
Um
[18:29]
but if joining it to the house
if that's a
[18:34]
on the board, I can have those plans
drawn up, too.
[18:40]
» My major concern is the aesthetic effect
that it's going to have on the adjoining
[18:44]
neighbor's home.
And that home was there first.
[18:49]
Uh
these two high doors
[18:52]
uh the height of of it as compared to
the existing house next door.
[18:59]
Um
it it's too much of a an intrusion to
[19:02]
me.
[19:05]
» This
So, if you if you went with one garage
[19:09]
door
one entranceway there and put it in the
[19:13]
center,
you could lower the height a little bit,
[19:15]
right?
[19:18]
» Maybe a little bit, just in the truss
height, but the wall height would still
[19:22]
be the same at about 16 ft from
it'll be about 18 ft from
[19:27]
ground to
try the eaves.
[19:30]
» I'm trying to look for a solution for
you. That's what I'm trying to
[19:33]
» I know. I'm I've thought about many
solutions and how to make this work and
[19:41]
» Yeah, for for me looking at, you know,
you have a brand new house built across
[19:44]
the street, correct?
>> Correct.
[19:47]
» Three-story house I would assume
>> It's beautiful.
[19:50]
» Yeah.
>> I put it on um
[19:52]
» [snorts]
>> Trying to see that they you know, they
[19:54]
just have a double garage, but to me and
again, I'm not saying that I'm 100%
[19:58]
agreement that attaching it to your
house is the solution either. Um but I
[20:01]
think to me seeing some different
variations of how that attaches, how
[20:05]
that looks um
you know, I see what you gave us. You
[20:11]
gave us gave us another covered porch.
Um
[20:15]
Is there a man So, the man door is on
the front and is there a man door on the
[20:19]
side?
>> Just on the side. There's a window on
[20:22]
the front.
>> windows on the front. Okay.
[20:24]
» Yeah.
>> I guess in your drawing to me it looked
[20:26]
like that was a man door. That's why I
was asking.
[20:28]
» the rendering done by Chad GPT
>> Okay.
[20:31]
» It was very hard to do and it took a lot
to get it to there.
[20:36]
» Yeah. And again, I think
you know, again, the cost of this
[20:40]
building I'm sure is is substantial.
And again, attaching it to your house I
[20:44]
would assume, but to me like I think I
need to see something similar to that.
[20:49]
Um
Yeah, and again, we're asking for three
[20:53]
variances to me when we can decrease the
variances is always the best for us.
[20:58]
» There's substantial variances, and I'm
I'm look I'm still hung up on back
[21:03]
behind the house.
>> Yeah.
[21:05]
» Okay, you can leave it detached if you
want.
[21:08]
But how far back
does that gradient drop off behind the
[21:14]
house?
>> I walked it today and
[21:17]
at from the back side of that building
if I were to push it back behind the
[21:20]
house, it drops almost 10 to 15 ft.
>> Yeah.
[21:24]
» In the length of that building.
It does drop relatively quick.
[21:28]
» sideways?
>> Uh s-
[21:32]
Sideways? I think there's no other
sideways to go towards the to put the
[21:36]
building sideways or
>> Yeah, so you'd be looking at the side of
[21:40]
the building when you looked out of your
house.
[21:42]
» You're turning it around.
>> The The shorter side would be parallel
[21:45]
to their wall line.
>> towards their
[21:48]
» I don't
think it would fit. I wouldn't think I'd
[21:52]
be able to get into it
with a vehicle of that size.
[21:55]
» Yeah, that'd be my
[21:59]
Well, I'll
I'll come back to my original comment if
[22:04]
that's okay, Mr. Mr. Chairman.
>> They're doing
[22:06]
» I'd like to make a motion that we table
uh this particular these particular
[22:11]
requests for variances until we get
complete plans
[22:14]
um
uh of a structure that uh
[22:18]
can reduce the amount of variances
and uh aesthetically help uh your
[22:24]
neighbors.
>> I'll second the motion.
[22:30]
» Um I'm I'm just catching up here. Sorry.
>> [laughter]
[22:34]
» You need a second on that?
>> We had seconded uh Mr. Brown.

[22:50]
» I make a motion we approve.
>> I'd like to table this until you're able
[22:53]
to come back with uh
more uh robust plans that hopefully
[22:57]
minimize the variances.
>> Okay.
[23:11]
» Now we will move on to our second case
for today. This is case number 260008.
[23:18]
For development variance request at 9278
Liberty Road. For a 50-ft setback due to
[23:25]
an 8-ft wide gas transmission.
Will the applicant please come to the
[23:29]
podium?
>> I I got an email late in the day today
[23:34]
with this applicant asked for this
request to be postponed. I I didn't hear
[23:39]
back from her, but looks like
they're not going to make it to the
[23:42]
hearing.
>> Okay.
[23:44]
» So.
Um.
[23:47]
Yeah, I would.
Yeah, let's make a motion to table it so
[23:51]
they're available. Yeah.
>> I move to table this case until our next
[23:55]
meeting.
>> Second.
[24:00]
» Mr. Allen?
>> Yes.
[24:02]
» Mr. Cansler?
>> Yes.
[24:03]
» Mr. Petz?
>> Yes.
[24:05]
» Mr. Brown?
>> Yes.
[24:06]
» Mr. Griffith?
>> Yes.
[24:08]
» Okay, the motion is approved.
[24:15]
» Now we will move on to our third case
for tonight.
[24:19]
That is case number 260010
for development variance request at 2368
[24:25]
and 2398 Enterprise. Will the applicant
please come to the podium?
[24:32]
Please state your name and address for
the record and describe the nature of
[24:35]
your request.
>> Uh thank you members of the board. My
[24:37]
name is Chad Rothschild. I'm here today
on behalf of Metallic Resources. Uh and
[24:42]
the property owner CSC Realty. Um.
We own the property at 2368. It's an
[24:49]
existing industrial structure.
Um.
[24:52]
We own to the
west that's a vacant parcel that may or
[24:57]
may not be listed on the agenda.
To the east, we purchased the property
[25:02]
that's 2398 East Enterprise back in May
of 2025 out of auction.
[25:09]
Um at this time, we're looking to expand
our operation off of 2368
[25:15]
and
uh as we were going through the process
[25:18]
with our contractor, with our architect,
in reviewing the zoning code, we
[25:23]
realized there's a 100-ft setback from
building up against a residential um you
[25:30]
know, adjacent property. And then
likewise for parking, it is a uh
[25:36]
50-ft setback.
What's unique about the location of the
[25:40]
property is if you look to the east of
2398,
[25:45]
that's uh Great Day Improvement, that's
also zoned industrial.
[25:49]
Um
you know, innovation manufacturing.
[25:53]
And then to the west of the vacant lot
is the building formerly owned by
[25:57]
Caltech. Uh that's also, you know, in
the IM zone. Those carry with it a
[26:02]
different setback. Those are the
traditional, I believe, 50-ft for
[26:06]
building and uh
I think
[26:09]
Well, whatever it is. All we're
requesting is that the setbacks be
[26:13]
commensurate with the properties to the
east and west of us, and we do not
[26:17]
believe We believe it would be
aesthetically pleasing.
[26:20]
Uh there's a lot of woodland in the
back. Uh
[26:23]
you know, to the rear of the residential
property, same as there is with the
[26:27]
Great Day Improvement. From the street,
you would not be able to notice.
[26:31]
Um I have some other notes here.
Um so, it wouldn't change the essential
[26:36]
character of the area. Uh there'd be no
adverse effect to governmental services,
[26:41]
such as fire access, sewer, water, trash
service. We made sure to take into
[26:45]
account that you you would have an
access road that can go all the way
[26:48]
around the the parcel, so there'd be
good ingress egress for emergency
[26:53]
vehicles. Um Um
you know, we believe that's, you know,
[26:57]
the spirit and intent of the zoning code
would be upheld
[27:00]
through the request. So, with that, we
respectfully request um issuance of the
[27:05]
variance as requested.
Happy to answer any questions.
[27:10]
» Uh first, I will open this case up to
public comment. Do anyone present like
[27:15]
to speak for or against this request?
[27:18]
Any correspondence?
>> Um no, I got no correspondence from
[27:23]
anyone regarding this project.
>> Okay, thank you.
[27:26]
» I can't I can say though
um
[27:30]
in addition to what the applicant has
presented, the the city adopted that
[27:34]
additional setback in 2024 when we
adopted the zoning code. The reason the
[27:40]
other
properties are at 50 ft is because we
[27:43]
changed the the setback dimension 2
years ago.
[27:48]
» Okay.
Seeing none, we'll move on to the board
[27:52]
discussion.
>> I have no I have no questions.
[27:57]
» No.
[27:59]
No questions here.
>> I move that we approve the appeal as
[28:03]
requested. Do I have a second?
>> Second.
[28:07]
» Roll call, please.
>> Who Who beat there there's
[28:10]
» I just
>> I'm going to give that to Tom, okay?
[28:14]
Mr. Allen?
>> Yes.
[28:15]
» Mr. Brown?
>> Yes.
[28:17]
» Mr. Patz?
>> Yes.
[28:18]
» Mr. Griffith?
>> Yes.
[28:20]
» Mr. Cancellor?
>> Yes.
[28:21]
» The motion is approved.
>> Thank you, members of board and
[28:25]
planning.
>> You're welcome.
[28:26]
» Council member, we really appreciate it.
Thank you.
[28:28]
» Can I just say something real
>> Sure.
[28:30]
» I had an opportunity to tour the
facility and
[28:33]
last week, so thank you very much for
for showing me around.
[28:36]
But it's um it's really a staple of our
community, our business community of
[28:41]
what's happening. And uh I appreciate
the environmental concerns that you guys
[28:45]
take an effort with what you're doing.
And uh just taking the time to walk me
[28:49]
around and give me a tour of
um the new layout and and what you'll be
[28:54]
expanding. It's It's pretty cool in
there uh to see the the items being
[28:57]
melted down and to be able to hold a
Jody Lynn Hall is like holding a gold
[29:01]
bar.
So
[29:02]
» [laughter]
>> but
[29:03]
but it was uh very fun. Thank you very
much for that.
[29:08]
» Now we will move on to the regular
meeting. Are there any certifications to
[29:12]
be minutes?
[29:17]
» Mhm, none.
I move to approve our meeting minutes
[29:22]
from June 29th, 2026.
>> I'll second.
[29:25]
» I'll second.
>> Roll call, please.
[29:28]
» Mr. Allen?
>> Yes.
[29:30]
» Mr. Griffith?
>> Yes.
[29:31]
» Mr. Patz?
>> Yes.
[29:33]
» Mr. Brown?
>> Yes.
[29:34]
» Mr. Cansler?
>> Yes.
[29:36]
» And then they're approved.
Do we have any other communications or
[29:39]
other business to discuss?
>> No, um it's looking like we probably
[29:44]
will have a meeting next month.
I have a couple applicants that are
[29:49]
are working on projects and I'm going to
guess that the ones that we tabled will
[29:55]
or could be back. So, I we'll just say
we should plan on having our meeting in
[30:00]
September.
>> I'm good.
[30:01]
» Do you have to have that in by when, the
11th or so?
[30:04]
» Y- Yes, that sounds right. The second
week of September.
[30:09]
» Mhm.
>> Okay.
[30:10]
» So, yeah, he may not make it, but
um I think there's
[30:15]
um
somebody on Jody Lynn Lane had a minor
[30:20]
variance request.
I suggested they they could just
[30:25]
take foot off the building. I don't know
whether they'll do that. So, but there's
[30:29]
a couple other applicants floating
around out there. We'll see.
[30:33]
» Any other communication, Council?
>> No, everything's good.
[30:37]
» Is there a motion to adjourn?
>> So moved.
[30:43]
» The meeting is adjourned.
>> At
[30:46]
» 6:00.
>> Thank you, everyone.
