CASE 2004-922 5620 Columbia Road, Kings Local School District, Maintenance Garage

Staff Presentation Mayank Kumar projected the Kings School site on power point on the wall for viewing. He said the ball fields were approved by this board in November of 2004. This proposed building is 155 feet setback from the residential land use to the east. He explained the plan to remove an old maintenance building and replace it with a new one. He showed a photo of Blitz Buildings which is the type they plan to build. The eave line is 10 feet high and the door is 9 feet high. The staff is recommending approval with 5 conditions as follows:

1) The Applicant shall adhere to all prior approved regulations applicable to the subject property including Resolution #2004-847.

2) Prior to the zoning permit issuance, the Applicant shall submit the building elevations(s) with color and material specifications. The eave line shall not exceed then (10) feet in height.

3) Access to the new maintenance building from the asphalt walkway shall be subject to review and approval from the Deerfield Township Community Development Director and the Deerfield Township Fire Rescue Department.

Mayank asked the board for questions. Brian Leary asked if there are landscaping requirements around the building. Mayank said that there are requirements but the landscaping has already been taken care of. Jim Klatte said he didn’t see any proposed asphalt walkway to the maintenance building. Mayank pointed out that there will be some type of access, a gravel drive or something, and it will be reviewed by the fire department and staff. Brian Leary asked about when this board approved the concession stand, that setback was much closer than this 155 feet. Mayank said that is true. Cherry Linder asked Mayank if he had received any comments from neighboring residents. He said he received one call and they just wanted to know what the hearing was about and there were no concerns. Cherry asked if all neighbors were notified and Mayank said they were.

Proponent Jim Voorhis, Voorhis, Sloan, Welsh, & Crossland Archtects, said they are planning to remove the old maintenance building and put in the new one. He said the location works well with the bus garage and it is pretty much out of site. Brian Leary asked him about the planned apron between the building and the track. Mr. Voorhis said he knows they need an access drive and this could be worked out with the school and Mayank. Mayank said it should be worked out with the DTFR. Jim Klatte asked him if anything else is going to be coming upon this site the next couple months. Mr. Voorhis said no.
