BUSINESS Proposed
Home Occupation Class II – SUP# 01-13 Pardiac Auto Repair
Ken
Pardiac, 4312 Rurik presented the proposal and introduced his family
members, Richard Pardiac, Barbara Pardiac and his brother Bob Pardiac, the
applicant. He noted Barbara
Pardiac is the property owner. The
package submitted is a request for a Home Occupation Class II Special Use
Permit. There will be no
construction taking place on site, the proposed auto repair will be operated
out of two existing buildings on the property and will retain the bucolic
nature of the area. Repairs will
take place in one of the larger buildings and the office will be placed in
the smaller building on site. The
auto repair facility will be by appointment only, no drop in repairs.
He will answer any questions the Commissioners have. Jerry
Sidlar asked if Bob Pardiac lives on the property. Bob
Pardiac answered yes. Jerry
Sidlar asked Sally Eliminger for comments. Sally
Elimiger summarized the Carlisle/Wortman Associates, Inc. review letter,
noting the applicant has met the eleven criteria for Home Occupation Class
II. It is harmonious with the
Master Plan; the area is designated as low density.
The use will not change the character of the neighborhood.
The proposed use will not be detrimental to the Rural Residential
district. She would like the
applicant to state the type and size of cars to be worked on.
Disposal of toxic materials has been addressed yet there is no
dumpster show on the site plan and asked the applicant to address.
The use will not create a nuisance to neighboring properties and
asked the applicant to confirm no body work or intensive auto repair will
take place on site. Parking/storing
cars behind the low farm structure is open at the south side and the
Planning Commission members have the flexibility to ask for screening if
necessary. It is Carlisle/Wortman
Associates, Inc. evaluation that the proposal meets the standards for Home
Occupation Class II. Jean
Root asked if an air compressor will be used. Bob
Pardiac answered; he will be using a small portable compressor that does not
create a nuisance. Jerry
Sidlar the sign requirements shown exceed the requirements allowing a four
square foot will sign. The
Planning Commission members discussed signage and informed the applicant he
could apply for a variance to allow for additional square footage or remove
signs and meet the requirement. Jean
Root noted the Livingston County Road Commission review letter.
They will allow the two driveways off of It
was noted that directional signage is allowed and doesn’t diminish the
square footage requirements. Jean
Root noted the Howell Area Fire Authority review letter stating as long as
the owner complies with the review with the county building department and
fire department, due to the change in use, they approve the site plan.
Bob
Pardiac told the Planning Commission members he will be working on light
truck and automotive. Bob
Hanvey expressed concerns there will be more than eight cars on site at one
time. Ken
Pardiac said Bob Hanvey has a more optimistic view of the operation.
It will be low key and typically dealerships have all the repairs for
the day dropped off at eight a.m. and picked up at five p.m.
That will not be the case with this operation. The
Planning Commission members said this can be a condition of approval for the
Special Use Permit. The
Planning Commission members discussed buffering along the south side of the
lot. There are the ten acres
owned by the applicant’s family and another ten acres between the car
holding area and the next house to the south.
They felt no additional buffering is necessary.
Bob
Hanvey seconded. Charles
Musson would like the conditions for the Special Use Permit be included in
the motion. Jean
Root amended the motion to include making the conditions part of the
Conditions for a Special Use Permit (draft copy) and include applicant takes
clients by appointment only, no drop in traffic. Bob

rezoning. They would like to
split two ¾ acre parcels on the north east corner of the Jean
Root asked if they are building classrooms or single family homes. Rick
Terres answered, no they will be single family homes built for resale. Sally
Elminger, Carlisle/Wortman Associates, Inc. summarized there review letter
supporting the rezoning as submitted. Bob
Hanvey asked Sally Elminger if the property can be rezoned when the land
division hasn’t been completed. Sally
Elminiger answered no; you would need the new Tax ID#’s for the
publication. There
is a letter in the Planning Commission member’s package from Charles
Decatur, Marion Township Assessor stating the land division application
meets all requirements. Discussion
ensued and all agreed new Tax ID #’s can be issued in time for the
publication. Jean
Root motioned to hold a public hearing for RZN# 01-13; Tax ID#
4710-13-100-002 on June 28, 2013 at 7:30 pm.
Bob Hanvey seconded. Bob
Hanvey then asked the motion be amended to clarify new Tax ID#’s be used
in the publication. Jean
Root motioned to amend previous motion to clarify new Tax ID#’s be used in
the publication and directed they be used on the June 28, 2013 agenda along
with clarification the rezoning is from Public Land to Suburban Residential.
Bob Hanvey seconded. Motion

noted that these requirements can be changed if the Planning Commission
members agree to do so. After
