Second Street Mr. Walters spoke about a Special Approval Use request to allow Kazmaier's Grocery Store to paint a mural on the west façade of their storefront. Mr. McCarthy stated that at the public hearing it appeared that the request doesn't follow the City's requirements, and the Planning Commission denied the request for this reason. He asked if they plan on resubmitting their design that better fits the code. Mr. Walters said that he believes that they will redesign and submit again if this isn't approved. Mr. Kuhlman said that there should be an exception to the "signage promotion of private enterprise" requirement if the company could qualify as a community institution, as Kazmaier's has been servicing Perrysburg for over 100 years. The majority of the Committee members do not recommend this Special Approval Use to City Council. The vote was: 1 yes — Mr. Kuhlman and 2 nays — Mr. McCarthy and Mr. VanHoozen. REZONING REQUESTS - ORLEANS PARK/WWTP INS (Institutional) to Zone X (Exempt) Lot 1 - 17.638 acres P (Park) & INS (Institutional) to P (Park) Lot 2 - 6.368 acres P (Park) to P (Park) Lot 3 - 27.475 acres R3 (Single Family Residential) to P (Park) Lot 4 - 0.677 acres Mr. Walters spoke about the re-zoning request for parcels located in the vicinity of the Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP). He said the parcel lines were redistributed to include the WWTP on one parcel alone instead of split between two. Mr. Walters said that this re-zoning is in an effort to better organize the parcels and to provide flexibility for the operation of the WWTP with the creation of the new zoning category (Zone X). Mr. McCarthy asked why one of the parcels requested to be rezoned from "Park" to "Park". Mr. Walters said that there was some overlap, so it was easier to do a clean slate and have all the parcels rezoned at once. The Committee agreed 3-0 to recommend this rezoning to City Council. 2026 BUDGET DISCUSSION Mr. Walters spoke about the 2026 budget. He said there are no capital purchases and no new personnel requests. Mr. Walters said that they are expecting health insurance prices to increase, and they have accounted for that. The Committee was satisfied with the Planning and Zoning budget. OTHER BUSINESS None. ADJOURNMENT There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 5:26 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Tim McCarthy, Chairperson Planning and Zoning Committee Next meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, November 25, 2025 at 5:00 p.m.
