ITEM SUMMARY:
Dean R. White of Peerless Enterprises, Inc. has petitioned for approval of a Special Use Permit to
allow outside storage at 1850 West Roosevelt Road, ancillary to the permitted principal use of the
property as a fencing contractor’s office. The subject property is located in the M Manufacturing
District on the south side of Roosevelt Road, approximately one-quarter mile west of Fabyan
Parkway, and consisting of 0.82 acres. The site received multiple special use permits in 2019 for a
motor vehicle care center, motor vehicle repair shop, internet based auto sales, and ancillary
outside storage. That use never became operational and the special use permits expired last May.
The site also received multiple variances in 2019 that are in still in effect, including reduction of the
front yard setback for parking from 20 feet to five feet, elimination of the required 15-foot west side
yard setback for parking, and elimination of the required 15-foot rear landscape yard.
The petitioner is proposing to use the property as a fencing contractor's office with ancillary outside
storage for a fencing company known as Peerless Fence. The petitioner currently owns and
operates a fencing contractor's office at multiple locations in the City and will use the subject
property as an additional location. The petitioner intends to demolish an existing accessory building
and will use the existing 3,700 square foot building only. The existing gravel area that will be used
for outside storage will be paved with bituminous asphalt. The petitioner proposes to screen the
storage area with an 8-foot tall privacy fence. The storage area will be located in the rear yard.
At its January 4, 2022 meeting, members of the Plan Commission voted unanimously with 7-0 in
support of the Special Use Permit.
ACTION PROPOSED:
Approval of the requested Special Use Permit for Peerless Enterprises, Inc. to allow outside
storage ancillary to the permitted principal use of the property as a fencing contractor’s office at
1850 W. Roosevelt Road.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:
At their meeting on January 10, 2022, Development Committee members voted unanimously (6-0)
in favor of recommending the requested Special Use permit for 1850 W. Roosevelt Road.
