No remarks were offered.  
PUBLIC COMMENT  
Mike Roth, attorney for the Oburrdale, Inc. petition spoke on their behalf. He explained the  
reason for the ZBA recommendation to deny petition. There was a concern of a fire hazard due to  
a woodpile being located near the property line. The petitioner proposed to revise the site plan  
and eliminate the setback deviation request and meet the required 20 foot setback. The Zoning  
Board of Appeals did not allow them to make the change at the hearing and were advised to  
bring this information to the Development Committee. He asked that the Committee either  
consider this new site plan or return petition to the ZBA.

1. Conditional Use to allow a restaurant/tavern in the B-1 Local Business District.  
2. Variation to reduce the required amount of parking spaces from 15 to 11 spaces, as

require a ¾ majority vote {14 votes} to approve based on the recommendation to deny by  
the Zoning Hearing Officer)  
ZHO Recommendation to Deny  
Development Committee VOTE (Motion to Approve Failed ): 0 Ayes, 5 Nays, 1 Absent  
Paul Hoss, Planning & Zoning Administration Coordinator explained the reason for the  
Hearing Officer's recommendation to deny the petition. Per state gaming laws, a pour  
license is needed from the local jurisdiction. Conditional use is needed for a Class B  
restaurant in a B-1 zoning district, as well as 15 parking spaces per 1,000 sq ft of gross  
floor area. They don't have even 5 parking spaces and currently patrons are parking in the  
street and in the public right-of-way. There was no hardship, unique circumstance or  
practical difficulty established at the hearing.

ZONING-24-000001 – Cardinal Fence & Supply, Inc.: To approve the following zoning  
relief:  
Variation to reduce the front yard setback for a new 7' fence from required 40' to  
approximately 3" (replacing current fence with new fence in same location).

(That petitioner has withdrawn the Variation to allow a barbed-wire fence on the subject  
property (replacing current barbed wire with new barbed wire in same location) on April  
2, 2024)  
Chair Tornatore verified the barbed wire fence denial was due to subject property not  
being located in a completely industrial area. Paul Hoss told the Committee that most  
likely the petitioner is going to remove the request for the barbed wire fencing, but item  
would still needed to be voted on today.  
Petition was bifurcated, the second request is for a variation to allow a barbed wire fence  
on the property. The motion was made by Member Gustin, seconded by Member Chaplin,  
vote was unanimous to deny.
