It’s been a year-and-a-half since the Lima Township Planning Commission held a public hearing about a request to consider a special use permit that would allow Lawrence Cameron and Cindy Gaffield, whose property is located at 10860 Jackson Road, to construct two buildings.
Cameron and Gaffield were back at the planning commission’s Nov. 27 meeting having submitted plans for an 1,840-square-foot residence on the property along with a 1,000-square-foot-plus storage building.
Paul Montagno, a planner for consultant Carlisle Wortman, told the Planning Commission that the site plan meets setback requirements.
Cameron and Gaffield have a construction-related business and own a number of vehicles. The site plan proposes a parking lot for 11 employees.
The planning commission unanimously approved the site plan with three contingencies regarding updating the landscaping plan, updating the lighting plan, and providing drainage to the satisfaction of the township engineer.
The planning commission also unanimously approved a special use permit that allows hours of operation from 6 a.m.-7 p.m. on weekdays, and 8 a.m.-3 p.m. on weekends. All materials must be stored indoors.
In other action, the planning commission approved its meeting dates for 2018. The commission meets on the fourth Monday of every month.
