Enterprises LLC. The application is redeveloping the present site. That will include the demolition of the
existing structure and the construction of a new dental office.

Chairman, Doug Crow ask for an introduction of the applicant and brief description of the project.

Michael Berger, from Sutton Architecture

Jason Burford, from GPI

Jason Burford states the intention is to construct a new structure to be used as a new dental office. The present
structure will be demolished. There will be more than adequate parking which will meet code. After receiving
proper variances for side and rear setbacks, extensive landscaping will be done. There will be new connection to
the sanitary sewer to the manhole east. The drainage will be contained to the open swale and the DOT drainage
system. Easements have been given by the neighboring property.

Chairman, Doug Crow asks if the changes for water and sewer will disrupt the road.

Jason Burford states the road will have to be disturbed for the water tap and sewer.

Chairman, Doug Crow asks CEO, Rich Miga about the rear and side setback as well as lot coverage variances.

CEO, Rich Miga states the variances were approved for rear and side setbacks and lot coverage, November 19th,
2025. Case # 1530.

Chairman, Doug Crow reconfirms that the project requires a Site Plan due to square footage being over 2500
square feet. The dental office is an allowable use in a C2, or C3, but both requiring a SUP.

Norm Merriman asks if the sewer as it is drawn, have capability in the future for other tie ins. Would the
crossing under the road be big enough for anything in the future, if applicable.

Multiple people talking.

William Heidt asks why there is so much emphasis on screening, especially to the front of the building. Why
did it not continue around to the side parking.

Jason Burford states the shrubs along the front parking lot will help hinder the vehicle headlights from going
into the street. The side parking lot headlights will be facing into the east. And the sewer extension will be
going through there. There will be an area for a sign. The lot size is also a factor.

Chairman, Doug Crow reiterates that the code for commercial properties parking, is to be on the side or in the
rear. However, the lot size limits having parking in the rear, and allowing the front parking does not make it any
worse than it currently is.
