CASE 2003-018 Drs. Ritter & Hagee, Addition at 2529 Montgomery Road, Site Plan
Review
Staff Report Jenny Kaage described the 2,375 square foot addition to the existing
1,225 square foot doctor’s office. She had various photos of the existing
property for the board to view. She said the parking plan is in compliance
with the code but there is some additional landscaping needed to comply.
Ms. Kaage said the relocation of the sign is not shown on the plan but it will
be moved from where it is now located. She said the sign must not be in the
public right-of-way and must be at least 5 feet from the right-of-way. She
said the front of the structure is not being altered. Ms. Kaage said the
staff recommends approval of this project with 8 conditions (attached).
John Richardson asked the board if there were questions for her and there
were none. He asked for the proponent to come forward.
Proponent Russell Moody, 3930 Edwards Road, Cincinnati, Ohio 45209, architect
for the project said he has no problems with the 8 recommendations.
John Richardson said the sign is shown on the plan. Mr. Moody said that is
the old location and the right-of-way will become wider as ODOT widens
the road. Mr. Moody said the sign will be no closer than 5 feet to the right-
of-way. He asked about sidewalks, if the township would require them.
Lee Speidel said sidewalks may be required after 22 & 3 (Montgomery Road)
is widened. John Richardson asked Jenny about the hiker/biker path that is
going through the township. Jenny said that path will be closer to Kings
Mills and the Little Miami Bike Trail. Don de Reynier said Condition #4
covers the sidewalk issue. Scott Evans said they are more likely to want to
have a 6 foot wide asphalt hike/bike trail than the concrete sidewalks.
John Richardson closed this portion of the meeting and asked for any
questions from the board. There were none.
Concerned Citizens There were no questions.

Discussion and Recommendation
Motion Motion by Scott Evans to continue Case 2002-799 until the next regularly
scheduled zoning commission meeting. 2nd by Lee Speidel
Roll Call John Richardson - yes
Don de Reynier - yes
Scott Evans - yes
Lee Speidel - yes
The motion was approved.
New Business Jenny asked the board to help her determine if an upcoming case should
be a Stage 2 or Stage 3 case. There is a proposal in process to add a
kiosk for pharmacy business with a drive up window at the Krogers in the
Landen Square Shopping Center. Mr. Moody from the previous case also
is working on this one for Krogers. The customer would drive up to the
window at Krogers, drop off their prescription and then drive to the kiosk to
retrieve the prescription via an underground tube system like banks have.
Lee Speidel asked Mr. Moody if there are other Krogers who have this
system and Mr. Moody said the Amelia store has the kiosk and Krogers
plan to put in other ones. Mr. Moody said the tube system moves the
money and pills from the building to the kiosk, for retrieval by the
customer. The tube is 10 inches in diameter, larger than the bank type.
John Richardson asked him the height of the kiosk and he said 9 feet.
Doug Miller said this is a Stage 3 PUD. Scott Evans said this board should
hear it. Don de Reynier said he really would like to see a drawing or
picture of the kiosk. Mr. Moody said it is a narrow structure with an
overhang. John Richardson said the consensus it that it should be
submitted as a Stage 2. Doug Miller said Stage 3 is already in place. Lee
Speidel said any major modifications should come before this board. Doug
Miller said this is a modification to Stage 3. Jenny Kaage said we will send
it to Warren County Engineers and even if this is private property they can
give us their opinion. Jenny asked Mr. Moody to call her tomorrow and
she will get him an application for a Stage 2 review.
John Richardson asked if there was any old or new business. Don de
Reynier said that the Warren County Regional Planning Commission came
up with some detailed definitions for open space that he would like for this board to
review and adopt.
Old Business Jenny Kaage said that the Resolution from Doug Miller on the Columbia
Road rezoning for the Deerfield Township Trustees has been distributed.
