UNION TOWNSHIP PLANNING & ZONING DEPARTMENT
REPORT TO THE UNION TOWNSHIP BOARD OF TRUSTEES
JULY 2009 PLANNING & ZONING SUMMARY REPORT
JULY 23, 2009

PERMIT ACTIVITY
July has resulted in a substantial lull in single family residential permit activity. Other than fences (always
in high demand in the summer months), even our homeowner projects have lessened throughout the
month. Much time is consumed on the telephone, discussing project requirements relative to pending or
imminent projects. However, no substantial development has materialized to date.

PROJECT FORECAST
A new section of Wetherby Farms has been recently accepted by the County Board of Commissioners.
Last week, our contacts at M/I Homes told us that once the platting and identification process has been
completed by the Tax Map Office, fourteen new homes will be submitted for zoning permits. The
application for the Eastgate Crossings Kroger Fuel Center was finally received and approved, fifteen
months after its Overlay approval was granted, and is expected to commence in September. Select
Strategies has submitted its permit application for Phase II at the Union Township Retail Center at the
intersection of Beechwood Road and SR 32 and is currently in the review process.

CASES FOR SPECIAL REVIEW
The Zoning Commission received no applications for July or for August. The Board of Zoning Appeals
will hear one application for variance regarding an increase in the maximum area of an accessory structure
for a homeowner at 3932 Fulton Grove Road at their August 6th meeting. The Law Director is defending
an appeal to the Clermont County Court of Common Pleas that the Board of Zoning Appeals was in error
in their findings on Case 4-09-A concerning the conditional use and variances for residential property
owned by the Greater Cincinnati Hindu Society on Klatte Road on June 4, 2009.

No zoning matters will be before the Board of Trustees on July 28, 2009. M/I Homes will submit a
request for R-4 Major Amendment to alter the design within the interior of Wetherby Farms and Schneller
Heating and Cooling will present an Overlay Request regarding an unusual sign proposal for their location
off K of C Drive in Withamsville, to be presented at the August 11th regular meeting.

VIOLATIONS AND ENFORCEMENTS
Both in the office and on the road, staff time has been dominated by complaints. Staffs takes particular
time and care to explain the complaint process and enforcement procedures, so that our citizens have a
clearer understanding of how the law works, whether they are the complainant or the offender.

The department, with the assistance of Captain Gerome of the UTFD, has initiated action regarding two
particularly egregious properties and a measure of success has been enjoyed on both. At 532 Old State
Route 74, corrections have begun on unsafe conditions that include the removal of a deteriorating awning
and unsafe electrical wiring on the exterior of the structure. Additional corrections regarding zoning
violations are anticipated. At 815 Ohio Pike efforts have proven rewarding! The property owner has
cleared brush and debris from the front of the lot, secured the dilapidated structure from unlawful entry,
and obtained a demolition permit from Clermont County Permit Central. The owner plans to raze the
structure in September and with it will go the myriad complaints generated by a long time eyesore.
