ITEM SUMMARY:
The Crusher, located at 629-651 W Washington Street, is requesting approval of a second amendment
to their existing special use permit, granted for a recycling and salvage facility with ancillary outside
storage, to extend the deadline for the completion of the Phase | site improvements on the property.
An amendment to the original 2018 Special Use Permit was granted in February of 2023 to extend the
date of completion for Phase | to December 31, 2024 and Phase II to December 31, 2026. No changes
to the previously approved 2018 development plans were proposed as part of the amendment. The
building permit for Phase | was issued in May of 2024. Site work, however, did not commence and the
deadline for completion has passed. The petitioner, through their attorney, has indicated that the funds
necessary to begin the project are tied up in a probate dispute that is going into litigation. Because of
these reasons, the petitioner is now requesting a second amendment to the Special Use Permit to
extend the deadline for the completion of Phase | improvements to November 21, 2026. Like the 2023
Special Use Permit amendment, there are no changes to the development plans.
At their January 7° meeting, members of the Plan Commission voted unanimously (4-0, with three
absent) in support of the proposed second amendment to the Special Use Permit.
ACTION PROPOSED:
Discuss and recommend approval of the proposed Special Use Permit.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:
At their meeting on January 13, 2025, Development Committee members voted unanimously (7-0) in
support of the second amendment to the Special Use Permit with the extension to Phase One
improvements.
