were approved by voice vote.
NEW BUSINESS
RESOLUTION BZA 3-22
A resolution requesting a variance to increase the maximum allowed number of
primary detached signs at 555 E. Statler Road
Kyrsten French, City Planner, gave the staff report. It was explained that the applicant,
Quint Creative, has requested a variance to place a second primary detached
monument sign at EPSilyte, formerly known as Polysource. It was noted that the distance
between the two driveway entrances is about 800 feet. It was also noted that the
facility is located behind two outbuildings that are between the two driveway
entrances. Staff recommends approval of the request.
The board deliberated and discussed that due to the unique lot size and configuration
of the facility, the variance request was understood. The board also discussed changes
that are being proposed in CodePiqua, which would allow this addition with no board
approval required.

After no further public comment or deliberation, a motion was made to approve
Resolution BZA 3-22 by Joe Wilson and was seconded by Wayne Davey. Resolution BZA
3-22 was approved with a 4-0 vote.
RESOLUTION BZA 4-22
A resolution requesting a variance to increase the maximum driveway width at 901
Nicklin Avenue zoned R1–One-Family Residential
Kyrsten French, City Planner, gave the staff report. It was explained that the applicant,
Ryan Lacy, has requested an increase of the maximum driveway width to 36’ for 901
Nicklin Ave. The applicant built a new garage, and has noticed persistent drainage
problems caused by the existing curb cut, and would like to redesign the approach to
fix the problem. Expanding the driveway would allow the third driveway bay to have
access to the street. Staff recommends approval of the request.
Ryan Lacy, applicant, 901 Nicklin Avenue, came forward to speak on the item. He
reiterated Kyrsten’s comments and explained that the plan is to bring up the curb,
shifting water flow towards Ann Street where there is proper drainage.
The board deliberated and discussed further, noting that the limited impact and
potential to correct a persistent drainage problem through the proposed design in this
case makes a code exception reasonable. The board also agreed that the structure is
a great upgrade to what was previously there.
After no further public comment or deliberation, a motion was made to approve
Resolution BZA 4-22 by Wayde Davis and was seconded by Joe Wilson. Resolution BZA
4-22 was approved with a 4-0 vote
RESOLUTION BZA 5-22
A Resolution to consider the decision of the enforcing official concerning a demolition
order for 405/407 S. Main St
Frank Patrizio, City Law Director, gave the staff report. He explained that the property in
question was condemned in March of 2017. He summarized the activity and actions
that code compliance took.
Aaron Morrison, Code Compliance Coordinator, came forward and further explained
the timeline that each notice was sent. Aaron also discussed the meetings that took
place with the property owner and the outcome of each meeting. It was noted that
the city had available funds to use to demolish the property in question. The property
owner decided in November of 2021 to begin the demolition of a section of the
building. On December of 2021, inspection indicated no further action had been taken
to close the opening into the property and no plans had been submitted to the city or
county. A notice of demolition for the rest of the building was sent to the owner at this
time.

BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS MEETING MINUTES
MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENT COMPLEX – COMMISSION CHAMBERS
6:00 P.M. – TUESDAY, MARCH 22, 2022
In 2022, a meeting was scheduled between the property owner, City Manager, and
Community and Economic Development Director and the owner. The owner left the
meeting with no resolution. On March 2, 2022, plans were submitted but did not satisfy
the requirements discussed. It was noted that there have been issues with the Police
Department over the last four months, including theft. As it currently sits, the building
remains unsafe.
Attorney Tom Buecker, representative for the property owners at 405/407 S. Main Street
came forward. He explained the Ulbrich family purchased and prepared this property
in 1999 because it was blighted. The property has been of different uses over the years.
Mr. Buecker noted that the owners own several other properties in Piqua. He also
discussed that the owners met with a structural engineer who say the building is
structurally sound. The owner recently received a proposal to complete the work
needed on the property but he is not able to begin work until May of 2022.
The board noted paperwork in the agenda packet, signed by the owner in 2018,
stating that work would be complete in 2019. The board asked Mr. Buecker why a new
due date should be approved, given the history. Mr. Buecker stated that he believes
the property owners have taken new steps to do what is necessary.
The board noted that the property is a clear nuisance and pointed out the trash on the
exterior. The board asked what the future use of the building was planned to be. It was
noted that there is no future use planned. The owner confirmed that the building is
currently insured and stated that he has been busy over the last few years and does not
remember receiving many of the notifications and letters. Tom Buecker suggested a
new due date to complete the work in 2-3 months. It was noted by the owner that the
property taxes are current.
Barbara Ulbrich, came forward to speak on the item. She spoke about several
properties owned by the Ulbrich family on the South end of Piqua. She discussed the
history of the property in question. Ms. Ulbrich noted that it is their intention to fix up the
building and asked for patience from the board to complete work.
Frank Patrizio came forward to make additional comments. He noted that the property
has been condemned for 5 years. He noted that Chris Schmiesing denied the plans that
were recently submitted due to it being insufficient.
Tom Buecker also came forward again and stated that the owners are willing to
commit to the project no matter the cost.
Al Cooper, 419 S. Main St., came forward to speak on the item. He explained that he is
a next door property owner of the property in question. He said that he has watched
the property deteriorate over the last 5 years and recently has noticed people coming
in and out of the property. He noted that he believes the property should be
demolished or at the very least boarded up to keep people and animals out of it.
Brad Ulbrich, property owner, came forward. He spoke about COVID and the setbacks
that it provided to his business. He noted that he has had issues with tenants in the past
and future tenants of the space would be screened at a higher scrutiny. He explained
Page 3 of 4
CITY OF PIQUA, OHIO
BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS MEETING MINUTES
MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENT COMPLEX – COMMISSION CHAMBERS
6:00 P.M. – TUESDAY, MARCH 22, 2022
that he has put things off but wants to work on the property and his goal is to fix it rather
than demolish it.
The board discussed the timeline and details of this property over the years. The board
noted that this meeting gave the owner a chance to appeal the decision made by the
enforcing official and that the plan of work submitted did not provide enough detail.
After no further public comment or deliberation, a motion was made to approve the
decision of the enforcing official by way of Resolution BZA 5-22 by Joe Wilson and was
seconded by Wayne Davey. Resolution BZA 5-22 was approved with a 4-0 vote

RESOLUTION BZA 1-22
A resolution requesting a variance to increase the maximum driveway width at the
address 2008 Navajo Trail zoned R3–Multi-Family Residential
Kyrsten French, City Planner, gave the staff report. It was explained that the applicant,
Indian Ridge Builders, requested a variance to build a driveway for a new residence to
33’ and 6”, which is beyond the 24’ maximum driveway width allowed for a residential
site. It was discussed that the occassional larger curb cut should not pose any safety or
comfort concerns to neighbors or pedestrians. Staff recommends approval of this
variance request.
The board deliberated and discussed that this variance request is common in this area
due to the unique width of each lot.
After no further public comment or deliberation, a motion was made to approve
Resolution BZA 1-22 by Joe Wilson and was seconded by April Dankworth. Resolution
BZA 1-22 was approved with a 5-0 vote.
RESOLUTION BZA 2-22
A resolution requesting a variance to increase the maximum square footage of signage
at the address 201 East Ash Street from 50 SF to 95 SF
Page 1 of 3
CITY OF PIQUA, OHIO
BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS MEETING MINUTES
MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENT COMPLEX – COMMISSION CHAMBERS
6:00 P.M. – TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 2022
Kyrsten French, City Planner, gave the staff report. It was explained that the applicant,
Anchor Sign, has requested a variance to exceed the maximum sign allowance for two
signs at the new Wellnow Urgent Care, to be located on the corner of Spring and E. Ash
Street. The sign package submitted includes two 25 SF monument signs, and a proposal
for three internally lit channel letter wall signs at 95.05 SF each. The zoning code allows a
maximum of 50 SF of wall signage on the north and west side of the building.
At 50 SF, a black lit wall sign at these locations will be highly visible. Out of consideration
for our existing businesses in this area who do not have larger than code-maximum
signage, staff is not supportive of the request.
The board deliberated and discussed the information in the packet. The board
discussed square footage and how that is measured for signs. It was noted that the
building will sit fairly close to the street, and most people will need to stop at the street
light when passing through this area.
Kelly Mattice, representative of Anchor Sign, attended the Board of Zoning Appeals
meeting via Zoom. Kelly explained that the submittals are a prototypical package that
WellNow Urgent care submits. WellNow submits this package for visibility and safety
concerns. Kelly noted that this package is not always accepted and has depended on
the community and its code language.
Jim Foster, 211 E. Ash St, Piqua, came forward to speak on the item. He asked for
clarification on the request being made and stated for the record that he does not
believe that the variance should be approved.
The board deliberated and discussed further, noting that the formula in the code
makes sense for the location of the building and its proximity to the street. The board
agreed that the 50 sq ft allowance would be plenty large enough for visability
purposes.
After no further public comment or deliberation, a motion was made to approve
Resolution BZA 2-22 by Joe Wilson and was seconded by April Dankworth. Resolution
BZA 2-22 was denied with a 0-5 vote
Kyrsten noted that the City as an organization has been very excited to have Wellnow
contribute a full redevelopment to this prominent corner of the city.

RESOLUTION No. BZA 03-22
WHEREAS, Quint Creative Signs, on behalf of EPSilyte at 555 East Statler
Road has requested to increase the maximum allowed number pf
primary detached signs at the property to two; and,
WHEREAS, the City of Piqua Code of Ordinances §154.101 establishes
requirements for permanent detached signs:
(2) Number of signs.
(a) The maximum allowable number of primary permanent detached signs shall
be as follows:
1. Each lot shall be permitted one ground sign or monument sign per street
frontage contiguous to the lot or lots occupied by the same principal, special, or
nonconforming use to which the sign is accessory, provided no other primary detached
sign type as described by § 154.101(D)(2)(a)(2), exist on the same lot.
WHEREAS, the Board of Zoning Appeals has considered whether the
variance requested:
☐ Is necessary to permit the owner a reasonable use of the land.
☐ Is justified due to peculiar exceptions and unusual circumstances
found at this location that are not generally found within the
neighborhood concerned.
☐ Will constitute a change in the district map
☐ Will impair an adequate supply of light and air to adjacent property.
☐ Will increase the congestion in public streets.
☐ Will increase the public danger of fire and safety.
☐ Will materially diminish or impair established property values within the
surrounding area.
☐ Will in any other respect impair the public health, safety, comfort,
morals, and welfare of the citizens of the city.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that ___________ motioned to
___________ the request for a variance at 555 East Statler Road. The motion
was seconded by ___________ and the request was ___________ with a

STA F F R E P O RT GENERAL LOCATION
REQUEST PC MEETING DATE
The applicant, Quint Creative, has requested a variance to place a second primary 03-22-22
detached monument sign at 555 E. Statler Rd.
RESOLUTION
STAFF CONSIDERATIONS BZA 03-22
The manufacturing facility at 555 E. Statler Rd, which is known to most as Polysource,
but will become EPSilyte, has a unique lot configuration. First, the lot is very long. The
distance between the two driveway entrances is about 800 feet. This matters because
the zoning code regulates numbers for “primary signs,” meaning large identification SITE ADDRESS
signs, according to lot rather than road frontage. This means of regulating can get, in 555 E. Statler Rd
practice, excessive when applied to very large lots. There is a means of allowing some
additional square footage to create joint identification signs where there are multiple
businesses, but not a means of adding an extra primary sign. When considering visual
impact, a viewer would not have lot lines to refer to, but would experience a difference in PARCEL ID
character by perceiving the overall density of signs. N44-076568
Second, the whole facility is located behind two outbuildings that are located in between
the two driveway entrances, making for some possible confusion as to whether both
driveways can access the facility behind. Secondary entrance signs are allowed by code
to direct traffic in, but the maximum square footage for these signs is 6 square feet, not ZONING
accommodating of the monument sign proposal. I2 - Heavy Industrial
In consideration of staying within the idea of fairness of volume of allowed
advertisement among all of our local business, the City has drafted a new sign code that
regulates by lot frontage to avoid this issue with exceptionally large lots. According to
that draft, businesses would be allowed to place additional monument signs according SURROUNDING ZONING
to their total lot frontage, and this change will keep the playing field level going forward. I2 - Heavy Industrial
If that code amendment were to be adopted, a variance for this request would not be
necessary. As drafted, those with a lot frontage of more than 500 feet would be allowed
to place a second sign, spreading out the distance between the signs. When a request
appears to make sense in a wider application, it is important to amend the code so that
all landowners can have the same opportunities without needed to request a variance.
PREPARED BY
Concluding from the above basis of analysis, staff recommends approval of the request.

STA F F R E P O RT GENERAL LOCATION
REQUEST PC MEETING DATE
The applicant, Ryan Lacy, has requested an increase of the maximum driveway width to 03-22-22
36’ for 901 Nicklin Ave.
RESOLUTION
STAFF CONSIDERATIONS BZA 04-22
The driveway pertaining to the request connects to Ann Street. The applicant built a new
garage, and has noticed persistent drainage problems caused by the existing curb cut,
and would like to redesign the approach to fix the problem. Expanding the driveway
would allow the third driveway bay to have access to the street. SITE ADDRESS
The code provides a maximum driveway width of 24’ for residences. This maximum 901 Nicklin Ave
prevents sidewalks from being interrupted by too many long drive approaches, which
could have an adverse effect on pedestrians and cause drainage issues. In the absence
of a standard that limits impervious surface on lots, the width maximum also does
some work to help prevent actions like residents graveling or paving most of their lots. PARCEL ID
Aside from a series of cases within the Indian Ridge subdivision, developers tend to N44-053400
construct driveways to meet three car garages in a manner that curves from wider back
down to 24 feet as they meet the sidewalk to stay within the maximum. In this case, there
is only 10’ of distance from the property line, the minimum required, which would not be
enough room to bulb out a driveway from the street. ZONING
R1 - One Family Residential
Ann Street is a narrow, very slow speed street. Students take this route to Piqua
Central Intermediate. A single driveway extension will not create a significant issue
for pedestrians, but a series of them would make the route less comfortable, and
cause additional points of contact between cars and the sidewalk. There are very few
driveways that have approaches on Ann Street on this block. SURROUNDING ZONING
R1 - One Family Residential
The Board may decide that the limited impact and potential to correct a persistent
drainage problem through the proposed design in this case makes a code exception
reasonable. Staff recommends approval of the request.

Mr. Ulbrich:
This letter is to inform you of the City of Piqua’s intention to proceed with summary abatement
of the conditions cited by the above referenced Code Violation Notice.
Since the March 2017 original issuance of the Code Violation Notice, multiple extensions have
been granted to provide you with additional time to abate the referenced code violation
conditions. This has resulted in little progress, no final resolution of the issues cited, and no
evidence that the conditions will be abated in the near future. Therefore, the City of Piqua is
proceeding in accordance with the Demolition Notice previously issued concerning this case. A
copy of the prior notices issued are included herewith for your reference.
An item will be included on the March 22, 2022 Board of Zoning Appeals agenda to provide you
with an opportunity to appeal of this matter if you so desire. The meeting will be held at 6:00PM
in the Commission Chambers located at the Municipal Government Complex, 201 W. Water
Street, Piqua, Ohio.
Very truly yours,
Chris Schmiesing
Community and Economic Development Director
