HARRISON TOWNSHIP TRUSTEES MEETING

July 2, 2013

 REGULAR MEETING CALL TO ORDER:

Chairman Keith Peters called the Regular Trustee Meeting of July 2, 2013 to order at 7:00pm at the Township Hall, 2746 Weigand Road, Lockbourne, Ohio.  Attending were Trustee Paul Welsh, Fiscal Officer MaryAnn Elliott, Zoning Inspector Joe DeFelice, Fire Chief Eric Edgington.  Craig Stevenson from Harral and Stevenson and  residents Randy Arledge and Walt Hardbarger were also present.  Trustee Doug Clark and Road/Cemetery Superintendent Kevin Hulse were absent.

ZONING INSPECTOR:

  1. Joe received a call regarding the property that is for sale on Bulen Pierce advertising a “Carriage House.”  He had called the Prosecutor’s office several weeks ago and was told to call the realtor listing the property and inform them that it is a violation of our zoning code to have two residents on one lot.  He received a call asking if the new owner’s son could live in the Carriage House and he checked with the Prosecutor’s Office.  Jayme said only immediate family can live there.
  2. The property owners on Bulen-Pierce who are running a business from their home have not yet applied for a zoning change.  Joe has called him three or four times and left messages that have not been returned.  The Trustees asked him to send a second zoning violation with a copy to the prosecutor.

HEARING OF VISITORS:

  1. Craig from Harral and Stevenson asked if the packet from Ohio Public Works Commission has been received.  We have not received it yet, but it needs to be signed and returned to start the project.
  2. We will need to get a grading easement of 15 to 20 feet from the property owners for this project.  Craig will draft the letter using the county form and stating a deadline.
  3. Craig also discussed different options for repairing Hoover Road at SR 752.  No decisions were made at this time. 
  4. Craig presented a Proposal for Professional Services for the Lockbourne Eastern Road Project to be signed by the Trustees for a Lump Sum Fee of $4500.00 for their services.  The Trustees signed this agreement.

  2. Walt Hardbarger said the Village of Ashville is planning to put in four turn lanes at Ashville Pike and SR 752 with a full curb, blocking access to his piece of property which is a separate parcel from the one his house is on.  Mr. Peters will call the Prosecutor’s office to find out what they suggest.

 ROAD/CEMETERY SUPERINTENDENT: 

Kevin was absent. 

FIRE CHIEF’S REPORT:

  1. Ashville asked the Chief for authorization to remove the fire hydrant at Plum and School Street because it would cost $8000.00 to repair it.  The Chief told them that he would not authorize it and felt they should repair or replace it.  There is a hydrant across the street which is a school hydrant.
