The Warren County commissioners approved, by unanimous roll call Nov. 4, 2025, a planned unit development (PUD) overlay to permit a restoration-contractor facility for 3 60 Restoration on roughly 6.76 acres of a larger 48.859-acre parcel at 934 East Turtle Creek Union Road in Turtle Creek Township.

Ray Draught of Warren County Building & Zoning presented Case No. 2025-02, describing the PUD overlay that confines a commercial restoration service use to the delineated 6.76‑acre area rather than rezoning the land to a commercial district. The PUD caps combined building area at 20,000 square feet (the applicant’s initial building is 10,000 square feet), sets a maximum building height of 30 feet, an impervious-surface ratio of 0.55 and a maximum roof pitch of 4:12.

Under the negotiated PUD standards, the first phase will include 15 parking spaces. If the applicant later builds a second 10,000-square-foot structure within the PUD, five additional parking spaces are permitted. Driveways and parking areas within the PUD must be improved with asphalt or concrete. Setbacks are 50 feet front, a combined 50 feet for both sides (minimum 20 feet on one side), and 30 feet rear.

The PUD contains several operational and site restrictions requested by Turtle Creek Township and reflected in the applicant’s final submittal: normal business hours limited to 7 a.m.–4 p.m. Monday through Friday with emergency 24-hour call-outs permitted; no semi trucks for deliveries or services; outdoor storage prohibited; dumpster screening required and allowed if it meets code; chain-link fencing prohibited; and parking-lot lighting prohibited. For buffers, the applicant will utilize existing trees and add six-foot-tall Green Giant evergreens spaced 16 feet on center along required buffer lines; Blue Spruce was specifically disallowed by the township as a species.

Staff reported letters of no comment from Warren County Soil & Water and the health department. Turtle Creek Township trustees and staff reviewed the submission multiple times; Jen Patterson, speaking for the township, told commissioners the trustees generally supported the negotiated PUD conditions and appreciated county staff’s work to address township concerns.

Applicant Patrick Hudepol described the business as a restoration service that stores equipment and temporary materials inside the building, emphasized he does not plan active retail or heavy manufacturing on site, and said he intends to build a residence on the remaining acreage. Hudepol noted he obtained multiple letters of neighbor support, including from Grace Baptist, and requested a modest ground-mounted sign so emergency responders can find the facility.

After the public hearing, a commissioner moved to approve the PUD overlay with the conditions presented; the board voted by roll call: Mr. Grossman — yes; Mrs. Jones — yes; Mr. Young — yes. The motion carried.

The PUD approval was presented as an alternative to a full commercial rezoning and is structured to allow the restoration-business use while preserving residential character through buffer, parking, hours and species-selection restrictions. County staff will require the applicant to submit an updated site plan prior to PUD stage 1 review by the commissioners, and the county will monitor compliance with the PUD standards.
