Toledo council committee recommends approval for Gary's Automotive
A Toledo City Council committee has overruled an earlier decision and recommend that a Point Place auto repair shop damaged in a tornado can go ahead with reconstruction plans. Gary’s Automotive at 4505 N. Summit St. was severely damaged during the June 15, 2023, tornado that hit Point Place and other areas of Toledo. The owner, Dave Thomas, had submitted a site plan review to the Toledo-Lucas County Plan Commission to reconstruct the building, but the commission recommended last month that it not be approved because the materials were not in compliance with the zoning code. “We were turned down because of a material we wanted to use on our building,” Mr. Thomas said Tuesday during a meeting of council’s Zoning and Planning Committee. “It’s more of a cosmetic use rather than a strength issue.” Half of his brick shop is still standing, he said. The cost to rebuild is more than $600,000, using a “pole metal” type of material, which is not on the plan commission’s approved list of materials. The cost would balloon to $900,000 to use bricks — money he said he doesn’t have because the building is underinsured.
