Appeal #V-06-22

Applicant: S & K Bistro Holdings, LLC
Location: 1950 44th Street, SE

Request: Pursuant to Section 21.01.B.2 of the Kentwood Zoning Ordinance, the applicant is appealing the Zoning Administrator?s ruling that the figures on the east wall of the building constitute sign display. In addition, the applicant contends that the property has frontage along a private road to the south thus qualifying the property for a total of three wall signs instead of two.

If the appeals to the Zoning Administrator?s rulings are not granted, the applicant is requesting variances for an increase in sign area of 50.33 square feet on the east wall and an increase in the number of signs to permit signage on three sides of the building.

Applicant is requesting tabling.

Appeal #V-07-02

Applicant: Encore Motor Cars
Location: 5091 Broadmoor Avenue, SE


Request: The applicant wishes to operate an open-air business (vehicle sales) on the former site of a vehicle rental operation. Section 15.04.T.3 of the Kentwood Zoning Ordinance requires Buffer Zone ?B? (20 foot wide landscaped area) along the rear and side lot lines. The existing site has a landscaped buffer of fifteen (15) feet along the west lot line and ten (10) feet along the south lot line. The requested variances are for reductions of five (5) feet and ten (10) feet to the required landscaped buffer and to waive the vegetation requirements.

Appeal #V-07-03


Applicant: PureFlex

Location: 4855 Broadmoor Ave. SE

Request: The applicant wishes to construct an approximately 500 square foot addition to the front of an existing industrial building. The proposed expansion would be setback 82 feet from the front lot line; the Kentwood Zoning Ordinance requires a front yard setback of 100 feet. The requested variance is for a reduction of 18 feet to the required front yard setback.

Fireworks Moved to Patterson Field This Year | 6/10/2013
I want to give you folks plenty of notice that our fireworks presentation will be moving to Patterson Field behind Crestwood Middle School on 44th Street this upcoming July 4th. We had previously displayed fireworks there in the past up until their remodeling project which led the move to City Hall.  All festivities you are accustomed to here at City Hall will now be at Crestwood Middle School.  We thank Kentwood Public Schools for their partnership!
