VILLAGE OF GRANVILLE - NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING 

At its regular meeting on August 18, 2010, the Granville Village Council scheduled a public hearing and request for public comment for September 1, 2010 at 7:30pm in the Granville Village Council Chambers, 141 East Broadway, for the following:

Ordinance No. 13-10, An Ordinance to Amend Section 921.07 of the Codified Ordinances to Adjust Sewer Regulations and Charges

This ordinance would adjust the base sewer rate from $3.90 to $6.00 per thousand gallons.  That rate adjustment would be effective for wastewater usage beginning on or after October 1, 2010.  This ordinance would also provide for an additional adjustment that would be effective for wastewater usage beginning November 1, 2011.  At that time the rate would be adjusted from $6.00 to $6.55 per thousand gallons.

Ordinance No. 14-10, An Ordinance to Amend Section 925.18 of the Codified Ordinances to Adjust Water Regulations and Charges

This ordinance would adjust the base water rate from $3.40 to $3.85 per thousand gallons.  That rate adjustment would be effective for water usage beginning on or after October 1, 2010.  This ordinance would also provide for an additional adjustment that would be effective for water usage beginning November 1, 2011.  At that time the rate would be adjusted from $3.85 to $4.25 per thousand gallons.

Ordinance No. 15-10, An Ordinance to Amend Ordinance No. 20-09 to Provide for Adjustments to the Annual Budget for the Fiscal Year 2010 and to Revise Sums for Operating Expenses for Legal Expenses and Mayor’s Court

This ordinance would increase the appropriations for legal services in the Mayor’s Court account and in the Law account.  Village staff was too conservative in preparing the 2010 budget for general legal services for 2010.  In the 2010 budget, only $65,000 was budgeted for the Law account.  Legal services are running higher than anticipated this year because of the police negotiations that carried over into 2010.  Staff is recommending an increase in the Law account budget of $30,000.  There will also be a deficit in the Mayor’s Court account without increasing the budget by $18,000.

All legislation is available for review at the Village Offices during regular business hours, which are normally 8:00am - 4:30pm, Monday through Friday. The Village Offices are located at 141 East Broadway.

PUBLIC NOTICE
VILLAGE OF GRANVILLE

The Granville Village Council adopted the following legislation at the August 4, 2010 regular meeting:

a. Ordinance No. 11-2010, An Ordinance Adopting Permanent Zoning (Village Gateway District) for the Mill District Properties Located on Lancaster Road (South Main Street)

This ordinance establishes permanent zoning for the Mill District properties owned by Mill District, LLC and 1919 Lancaster Road, LLC and located on Lancaster Road (South Main Street).  The property owners requested that the properties be zoned as Village Gateway District.  The Granville Planning Commission, after conducting public hearings on the request, has determined that the properties are suitable for the Village Gateway zoning designation and have recommended that they be zoned accordingly.

b. Ordinance No. 12-2010, An Ordinance to Amend Sections 1173.02 of the Codified Ordinances of the Village of Granville to Allow Restaurants as a Permitted Use Within the Village Gateway Zoning District

This ordinance amends the Village Gateway District zoning regulations to allow restaurants as a permitted use rather than a conditional use.  This amendment was agreed to as part of the pre-annexation agreement with the owners of the Mill District properties.  This proposed amendment does not affect the prohibition against drive-up, drive-through, or drive-in facilities for fast food enterprises or enterprises involving the sale of beverages.

c. Resolution No. 2010-32, A Resolution Authorizing the Village manager to Enter into an Agreement with the Board of Granville Township Trustees to provide Police Services to the Raccoon Valley Park and Certain Parcels Owned by Denison University

In December 2008, the Village Council adopted a resolution that authorized the Village Manager to enter into an agreement with the Township Trustees to provide police services to the Granville Intermediate School, other parcels owned by the Granville School District, and other parcels owned by Denison University that were located in Granville Township to add clarity and consistency to police services. The Township Trustees have now requested that the Village extend police services to the entirety of Raccoon Valley Park.  The eastern portion of the park was annexed into the Village in 2007, but the western portion of the park remains in the Township and outside of the Village.  In order to maintain clear and uniform coverage of Raccoon Valley Park, the extension of police jurisdiction by the Granville Police Department was requested.  There were also some Denison parcels that were inadvertently left out of the agreement that was approved in 2008.  This resolution corrects that oversight and brings those additional Denison parcels into the Village’s law enforcement jurisdiction.

All legislation is available for review at the Village Offices during regular business hours, which are normally 8:00am - 4:30pm, Monday through Friday. The Village Offices are located at 141 East Broadway.
