HomeMy WebLinkAboutMinutes COM 11-07-19 • Some minor outstanding engineering items remain. We resubmitted this week.
• We brought a material and color board sample(titled Building Material 10-01-09). The building is
primarily masonry and does have a dimensional shingle roof. The tower element is along N. Michigan
Rd.,which gives us more presence.The building is brought forward towards N. Michigan Rd. and does
comply with the US 421 —Michigan Road Overlay.
• Signage will be limited to the west elevation with the Valvoline emblem in the blocked out brick area,as
well as,the east elevation.
• Two different brick tones along with different cornice and water table items around the perimeter of the
building are used. Awnings are steel and are painted.The awning colors are on the color board sample.
One item was to match the gutters with the HVAC and/or venting equipment or pipes protruding from the
roof,which will all be matching paint.
• The south elevation is the exit for the vehicles.
• The lighting plan(pages 22-26)meets the lighting foot-candle requirements along the edge of the
property. We are electing to use LED light fixtures.
• There is no ground sign proposed,just the wall signs on the west and east elevations.

The applicant seeks site plan and design approval for a 391 sq. ft.building addition to the existing building
(1,139 sq.ft.). The site is 0.32 acres in size.It is located at 420 N. Range Line Rd. It is zoned B-5 and is within

Petitioner: William Brosius(William Gordon Group, Inc.):
• This is a veterinarian clinic that has been here for around five or six years. It is a residential structure that
has been converted for commercial purposes.
• It is a simple project.A 390 sq. ft. addition on the rear of the property is proposed.
• We are now adding it to the rear when originally the owner wanted to add to the front porch.This is a
historically sensitive item and the original proposal was not permitted.There is an existing porch on the
rear that is being replaced with the one-story addition with a shed roof. It juts 11.5' out from the building.
• The exterior finishes will be matched with the building. It is vinyl siding with white trim. There is a
mixture of wood,aluminum,and vinyl depending on the area.

• There is a side entrance with a little stoop and covered bracketed support roof.
• Only one can light is under the roof that is being added.
• We are doing virtually nothing on the site.All the utilities are existing and will remain within the existing
curbs.
• Signage is remaining the same.
• Landscaping has been approved after a few changes were suggested by the Urban Forester. Most
landscaping remains the same,except new plantings around the new addition.
• A trash enclosure is included.There are just three trash cans.A picture can be found on page six of the
Submitted Packet. It is basically just a cedar fence painted white.It will be 60"tall and cover the trash
cans without being too obtrusive.The railings on page six will used for the new stoop.
Department Report: Rachel Keesling:
• The petitioner touched on everything.The owner originally did want to fill in the wrap around porch.The
rear addition,we can approve. It fits with the character of the existing building. It is a Character Building
per the Unified Development Ordinance(UDO)and it is important that any additions do match the design
of the original building.This addition could look as if it has always been there.
• No landscaping, sidewalks,or parking will be altered.The petitioner is simply filling in a grassy area with
the addition.They are not at risk of exceeding lot coverage. Everything meets the UDO requirements.
• Staff recommends approval.
