Winsupply rezoning, Resolution #126-2026
This recap is based on the meeting video and the agenda. The meeting began at 6 p.m. at the Miami Township Government Center, and the main item was a public hearing on Resolution #126-2026. The resolution would change the zoning map under Zoning Case #411-12 from AC-3 Austin Center Business District to PD Planned Development District for Winsupply. A zoning map amendment is a change to what uses and standards apply to a piece of land.
Why it matters: If adopted, the acquired building would join Winsupply’s existing planned development district with added screening and lighting rules, though a final development plan is still required, and the new township zoning code takes effect November 5.
The agenda lists no results for the meeting, so this recap does not say whether the resolution passed. The video shows a trustee moving to adopt the resolution, a second, and a roll call.
Zoning staff said Winsupply recently acquired an adjacent building. The request would put that parcel into the same planned development district that covers Winsupply’s existing facilities, giving the company one consistent zoning designation. Staff said the planned development district closely mirrors the AC-3 district, so the change works much like a rezoning in name only. Staff said the PD standards add requirements for the outdoor storage already allowed on Winsupply’s lot: high-quality screening, timed lighting, fencing, and slightly higher standards for building elevations, loading, parking and landscaping.
Staff said the Zoning Commission recommended approval with no conditions.
What staff presented about the site plan
Staff reminded the board that it heard the final development plan in January for expansion of Winsupply’s manufacturing facility and relocation of its outdoor materials yard. With the new building, the company can move the pipe yard farther south and add a loop road connecting the acquired building to the Winsupply campus. Staff said the loop road should keep trucks from having to drive onto the public road just to re-enter the site. Staff called the new layout an improvement over the earlier design.
Staff said a significant amount of existing foliage would be left undisturbed and the pipe yard would be hard to see from the nearby road or from I-75. The campus would have three entrances and exits because of the interior road, with no new ones onto public roads proposed. Staff said the township received no comments or concerns about the proposed use.
Several steps remain. Staff said Winsupply still must come back for a final development plan covering grading, landscaping, screening and lighting. The acquired building is an older site that does not meet modern stormwater standards, and staff said it is working with the county engineer to determine whether additional arrangements are needed at that stage. Staff said the proposal fits the township’s comprehensive plan, which calls for industrial and distribution uses along that corridor.
Findings of fact
After staff’s report, the board went through the five findings-of-fact standards for planned developments, one by one, with each trustee answering true or false by roll call. The standards cover road access and pedestrian connections, compatibility with neighboring uses including lighting and landscaping, a design superior to what the regular zoning would produce, consistency with the comprehensive plan, and required distances and setbacks from residential property.
Consent agenda and new business
The consent agenda covered the October 30, 2026 regular meeting minutes, purchase orders, and payroll and bills. A trustee moved to approve it and a roll call followed. One trustee noted that for the first time in his tenure, the agenda had no new business.
Public comment
The presiding trustee asked whether anyone wished to speak during public comment, and the meeting moved on to the public hearing without any speaker coming forward in the video. No residents spoke during the zoning hearing either.
Department and board comments
Police Chief Adam Nielsen read the first responder casualties, naming four officers who died in the line of duty between October 20 and October 30 in Texas, North Carolina, West Virginia and Montana, and the board observed a moment of silence.
The zoning staff member said the Winsupply case is the last zoning case to be heard under the township’s previous zoning code. The new code takes effect the next day, November 5, and code numbers will change.
Another staff member reminded the public that the veterans breakfast is November 10 at 8:30 a.m. at the Hilton Garden Inn. The scheduled work session on roadway resurfacing was not held because the presenter was not present. The meeting adjourned at 6:12 p.m. No date for the next meeting was mentioned.
