PUBLIC COMMENT  
Brian Armstrong, attorney for applicant in the Hanna's Wheaton LLC zoning case spoke on  
behalf of his client. The petition is for a new video gaming cafe located in a B-1 district. The  
Zoning Board of Appeals had no issue with the conditional use, but recommended to deny the  
variation due to the location be less than 1,000 feet from a place of assembly. He informed the  
Committee that the Church is a small congregation, with no school and the property has been  
vacant for five years. He asked for the Committee to recommend to approve the petition.  
Caitlyn Culbertson, attorney for Northwestern Marianjoy spoke on behalf of her client. The  
variation is for new signage for the hospital. She was pleased to have the recommendation by the  
Zoning Hearing Officer and was available for any questions.

ZONING-25-000035 – Hanna’s – Wheaton, LLC.: The Zoning Board of Appeals  
recommended to deny the following zoning relief:  
1. Conditional Use to allow a video gaming cafe restaurant in a B-1 Local Business  
Zoning District.  
2. Variation to allow a video gaming café restaurant to be located less than 1,000 feet  
from a place of assembly use. (Milton/District 4) (Located at the southwest corner of  
Geneva Road and Pleasant Hill Road)  
ZBA VOTE (to Deny): 6 Ayes, 0 Nays, 0 Absent  
Mr. Hoss explained that the Zoning Board of Appeals recommended to deny both parts of  
the petition. In their findings they found the petitioner proved up the conditional use  
portion, but if the variation fails, the conditional use would have to fail as well.  
Discussion ensued about the 1,000 feet requirement and the possibility of changing  
operating hours for the business. Mr. Hoss shared with the Committee that the owner of  
the strip shopping center has offered to put a right in/right out off Geneva Road, which  
means less traffic from the cafe would go through the residential neighborhood. Chair  
Tornatore inquired about making conditions on the petition. The petitioner's attorney  
informed Mr. Hoss that they would like to explore possibly amending their petition with  
the conditions discussed. Chair Tornatore asked for a motion to table the item and bring it  
back at the next meeting.
