2. OPEN PUBLIC HEARING
a. Review and Discuss Conditional Use Permit for MacMillan Innovations, LLC.
Administrator Cherek opened the Public Hearing with a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) application filed by
MacMillan Innovations, LLC. The items discussed were allowing an Accessory Storage Building being
built on this property as it is zoned C-1 General Commercial and if including a requirement in the CUP for
the Accessory Storage Building to include Article 9: Business Park Code (13.9.6) Building Design,
paragraph 2 requirements of having a 40% front façade incorporated brick, stone, architectural block,
architectural concrete panels, architectural wood or glass design.
Cherek opened the floor to Matt Spaulding from Prime Design Construction, LLC and Chad MacMillan
from MacMillan Innovations, LLC to discuss the design plan and need for the Accessory Storage Building.
Mac Millan Innovations, LLC informed Commission Members and the public that this Accessory Storage
Building is needed to help clean up the lot and to secure items currently placed around the Commercial
Building on the lot. Additional discussion included the building’s proposed location in relation to fire
protection requirements and vehicle access around the existing structure.
Commission members discussed whether the CUP would be transferable to another person or entity
without prior approval from the Village. Administrator Cherek explained that, since the proposed structure
is permanent, it is unlikely the Village will require its removal upon transfer of ownership. Therefore, the
CUP will be written to remain valid regardless of a change in property ownership.
