PUBLIC FORUM
Landscaper, Paige Landon discussed the upcoming plant maintenance and the future upkeep. The current landscaping requires a lot of upkeep, several times a month. Paige would like to remove the excessive mulch and the plants to eventually get us into a lower maintenance plan that would be a cost savings
over time. There was a motion by Trustee Chapman and a second by Trustee McCreary to approve the landscaping plan.
ZONING BUSINESS
Mr. Streng issued an ag exemption to Russell Watson, 17866 Allen Center Rd for a 36X 64 barn.
Randy Marker, of Thomas & Marker, owns property on NW Pkwy. currently zoned B3 and wishes to build 25 12,000 sq ft warehouses, and working to establish if this can be done. No new updates.
Mr. Streng met with gentlemen with tentative plans to purchase two parcels of land at the SW corner of Stokes Rd and SR 287 to build a strip mall and hotel. He was told to meet with the Union County Health Department, ODOT, and Union County Building Department before requesting a zoning change. No new updates.
Received a call from owner at 14827 Maple Ridge Rd. who owns a 26 acre parcel and was in inquiring if she could build another home on the property. The property is confusing because her actual address is 14827 N. Darby Coe but enter from Maple Ridge Rd. She has 150′ frontage on N. Darby Coe that goes back 50/60′ wide flag, and her drive off Maple Ridge Rd is a common access drive. Need to research.

Lori and Allison will be setting up a meeting to discuss cost increases for various hearings and permits.
