Mr.

call: All members present voting yea, the Chair declared the
motion carried.
The
Chair opened a public hearing on the application by Sean
Craig, Medina, Ohio, agent for Woodland Town Center LLC, for
amendment of the Special Use Permit for the Parkway Plaza on
Detroit Avenue to allow additional radio antennas on the water
tower and an additional equipment building at its base.
The
Secretary stated that notice of the hearing was published in
the Mirror newspaper and mailed to owners of property within
300 feet of the subject property.
Each person who spoke was sworn in before giving
testimony.
The
Secretary read a letter from the Building and Zoning Inspector
(5/16/06) in which he stated the applicant is requesting an
amendment to a Special Use Permit for Cingular Wireless to
co-locate antennas on the water tower near Town Street.
He stated the proposal is to place an industrialized
unit at the base of the tower partially concealed by a brick
wall and landscaping to match that of the existing unit and to
place six antennas above the existing antennas.
He also said that, although the property is zoned C-1
Neighborhood Commercial, this site is adjacent to residential
zoning and that he recommends denial of the proposal because
of the additional height of the antennas.
Mr.
Sean Craig stated the antennas are needed to provide service
for areas that now lack adequate coverage as documented in a
report he provided.
Edward Block, Akron, Ohio, engineer representing the
applicant, presented coverage maps, site and landscape plans,
elevation drawings, and photographs from three angles of the
water tower with antennas and also enhanced photos to show the
proposed additional antennas.
Mr. Craig stated that structurally the tower would be
sound with this addition and visually there would be no
significant change.
Chairman
Hasbrook directed that a copy of all handouts be marked as
exhibits for the record.
The
Law Director asked if there were any other existing towers
that could service this area.
Mr. Craig responded that there were none and
collocation on the water tower avoids erecting another tower.
Mr.
Jerome Parker, Toledo, attorney for the owner, stated that the
owners fully support this project and that the proposed
changes would hardly be noticed.
Chuck Sala, Toledo, representing the property owners,
stated that the additional income stream was vital to the
shopping center due to the improvements being made to the
shopping center buildings.
The
Building Inspector stated his belief that the drawings were
not to scale and could not be relied for visual impact and
that the tower site is not within the target area shown on the
applicant’s exhibit as required to serve the coverage area. Mr. Craig responded the drawings were not to scale, although
the photos were reasonably close to scale.
Mr.
Tim Sczesny, 923 Argyll Drive, stated that spill over light
from the shopping center is a problem for him and his
neighbors and asked if the owners could shield neighbors from
the lighting.
Ms.
Julie Tillman, 930 Argyll Drive, asked about possible damages
to neighboring property from excavation for electrical, etc.
Mr.
Block responded that they always make sure to leave any areas
fully restored to their former condition, if not better.
Mr. Sala stated his willingness to work to minimize any
problems for neighbors.
Ms.
RIFE moved to close the public hearing.
Seconded by Mr. Yurysta.

Each person who spoke was sworn in before giving
testimony.
James
Bell, representing the architect, Poggemeyer Design Group,
gave a presentation regarding the design and layout of the
proposed fire station. He
stated the building is set back from Illinois Avenue to avoid
overhead electrical lines near the street and to provide
parking close to the street.
He stated there are seven vehicle and equipment bays of
approximately 13,000 square feet and finished office and
operations area of approximately 15,000 square feet. He added that access to Kingsbury would be provided by
improving former railroad property with a private drive.
Mr. Bell stated that nearly 68 parking spaces are
needed to satisfy the code and that ten additional spaces were
provided.
Fire
Chief Monto stated his belief that the parking spaces are
needed. The
Service Director stated a traffic study indicates no
additional street improvements are needed for this facility.

A
proposal for revision of the plat Riverside Commons Plat II
and amendment of the Planned Unit Development (PUD) permit was
presented. A
letter from the Building and Zoning Inspector (5/17/06) was
read. He stated
the revision includes minor modifications for lots number 59
through 64 and 65 through 70.
Minor adjustments to the lot dimensions include a
decrease in lot width on all above-mentioned lots; however,
the areas of lots number 59 through 64 increased slightly in
area and lots 65 through 70 decreased slightly.
Additionally, lots 63 and 64 provide for an additional
five feet in depth into the common area and the proposed lot
depth will be 75 feet with lots 59 through 62 remaining at 70
feet. He stated
he believes this is a minor modification in that there is no
increase in area and/or density to the proposed plat.
As such, he recommended approval of the revised plat
and a minor amendment to the PUD.
A
letter from the Service Director (5/22/06) was read.
He stated a change in the sanitary sewer plan was made

The Law Director stated a public hearing is not required
to amend the site plan and that the development plan makes
possible public improvements that support the traffic plan
favored by commissioners and residents of Jerome Road.
The Administrator said the Isaac Group is ready to deed
property to the city that will provide the right-of-way for a
new connector from Russell Road to Jerome Road.
He said that would prevent any increase in traffic on
the section of Jerome Road within the city, as the site plan
approved in October, 2005, provides.
Mr. YURYSTA moved to approve the request of the Service
