Mr. Kroger displayed renderings of the proposed landscaping plan and the proposed signage.

National Processing Solutions is currently located at 400 Sugar Camp Circle, and pending approval, will move to the Gatehouse building. The location change should result in no change to the existing traffic patterns at Sugar Camp. The business will utilize existing parking spaces located behind the Gatehouse; no new parking will be constructed. NPS is not generally open to the public. The Gatehouse building will be a work environment for NPS employees only. There are currently two (2) NPS employees who will work onsite and the applicant has indicated she has no plans for expansion, which minimizes the demand and impact on parking.

Mr. Kroger closed his report by displaying images of the existing Gatehouse.

Mayor Duncan opened the public hearing. There being no public testimony offered, the public hearing was closed.

Mr. Stephens asked how many people are employed by NPS at the Sugar Camp location.

Mrs. Dunlevey, the applicant with National Processing Solutions (NPS), shared that there are currently five employees, but three of them are sales staff who work remotely.

Mr. Stephens said that he likes the proposed signage. He noted the Gatehouse building sits far enough away from the larger buildings at Sugar Camp so overflow parking from those buildings should not be an issue.

There being no further discussion, Vice Mayor Byington called for a vote on the motion, which was that Application 21-1, for an amendment to the Sugar Camp/Pointe Oakwood Master Plan, to wit: special use permit for 10 Sugar Camp Circle, Application 21-1, changing approved use from “delicatessen” to “professional office/business” be approved.

Upon call of the roll on the question of the motion, the following vote was recorded:

There being five (5) yea votes and no (0) nay votes thereon, said resolution was declared duly passed and it was so ordered.

A copy of the resolution, having been placed on the desks of each member of Council prior to introduction, was read by title.

Vice Mayor Byington explained that the City has an existing 2.72 mill property tax levy that is due to expire at the end of 2021. The 2.72 mill levy was first approved by Oakwood voters in 1991 and has been renewed every five years since then. At the June council meeting, Council took the first legislative step to put this matter on the ballot for renewal, and this resolution is the second and final step. It is important to note that since this is a renewal instead of a new levy, it will maintain the current level of property taxation and will NOT increase property taxes.

Thereupon, it was moved by Vice Mayor Byington and seconded by Mrs. Hilton that the resolution be passed.

Upon call of the roll on the question of the motion, the following vote was recorded:

There being five (5) yea votes and no (0) nay votes thereon, said resolution was declared duly passed and it was so ordered.
