consumer and Mr. Roberts said yes but there would be no retail at this location. They
are only sending employees to customers homes. Mr. Arona asked about hours of
operation, would they plan on future overtime? Mr. Aungst said they are not near any
other homes so noise would not be an issue for potentially adding other shifts in the
future. It was suggested by the Planning Commission to eliminate number 7 on the
conditional zoning certificate that states their hours of operation so that in the future
they will not have to come back before the Planning Commission to amend those hours.
The applicant agreed he would like to eliminate that. Mr. Aungst would like proper
signage added to the conditional zoning certificate and the applicant agreed he would
add signage to be submitted and approved by the Building Department.

No on appeared for the public hearing.
The public hearing was closed at 7:12 p.m.

growth. Additionally, confirm there is a minimum of one van-accessible handicap
space, as required by Tables 1106.2 and 1106.6 of the 2024 Ohio Building Code.
