Summary

The Zoning Appeals Board amended an artist’s application to allow a 3x4 sign and approved a one-year permit for a wholesale bakery operating from an attached garage, with staff to coordinate Certificates of Occupancy and inspections.

Paul Noiva and Eli Hostetler received approvals at the Feb. 24 meeting for separate home‑based business uses. Noiva amended his Temporary Use application to request a 3x4 wooden sign for his planned artwork sales at 5283 US 35 W; the Board approved the amendment and the one‑year permit under Section 816.03, Letter O. Zoning staff said sign specifications and placement would be worked out with the office and Cindy Hitchcock.

Eli Hostetler asked to operate a wholesale bakery from an attached garage with deliveries only and no in-person retail. Kramer and the Board corrected the permit paperwork to list the facility as an attached garage and approved a one‑year permit, while reminding Hostetler staff will require Certificates of Occupancy and inspections before full operation.

Both approvals were unanimous; staff will follow up on sign specifications, occupancy certificates and applicable inspections.
