January 7
Planning Commission Meeting: There is a 3rd party reviewing
Chapter 1158, attached resident housing. Paying this 3rd party was approved by
Council. I asked what this company was going to do that the commissions could
not do and how much we are paying for this. The company, LSL Planning, will be
reviewing and filling in the blanks - such as green space and will work to
assure the language is correct to be adopted. Exact figures could not be
recalled but the price is around $1,500. It should be noted this company is a
subsidiary of Safebuilt.
The Mayor walked us through the Planning Commission process
she and several department heads revised this fall. It was stated no ordinances
have to be changed or are affected by this new procedure, which is now
official. Some still question that point.
The new Mayor’s Representative on the Planning Commission
was introduced. Andrew Dzienny. He had been a member of the commission in the
past. Karen Leiske nominated Mark Barbour for the position of Chairman for the
Planning Commission. Mr. Dzienny nominated himself. After a 4 to 2 vote, Mr.
Barbour will be Chair and Mr. Dzienny will be Vice Chair.
Plans for the 9 lots for new homes on Crestview Drive were
approved.
Bay Diner will not be going into the Consignment Shop
location. The owners have decided to move into the vacant old Napa Auto Parts
store. Parking issues were cited as the reason.
January 15
5 area Mayors attended a meeting in Columbus with the ODNR
Friday while Mayor Sutherland cited weather as the reason she did not attend.
At the Jan. 5 committee meeting she did say she didn’t think the State’s
position had changed. I will be interested to see what this spring brings in
terms of deer population.
