Summit Township is suing Sportsman’s Supply for not removing numerous storage containers used to store ammunition in front of the business on Freeport Road.

The suit filed in Butler County Common Pleas Court claims Tyler Kovach, president and CEO of Sportsman’s Supply, sought permission in 2020 to use 12 storage containers measuring 8 feet by 40 feet.

Storage facilities are permitted in the commercial zoning district where the business is located, and the township zoning officer told Kovach that storing the containers is a second use of the property, according to the lawsuit.
