The commission also voted to remove a staff stipulation requiring that elevations comply with the zoning‑text limit on vinyl siding (the text cited a 70% limit for vinyl/masonry allocation on elevations fronting a public right of way), effectively approving the plan as presented by the applicant.

Developer Pat Kelly, managing partner for BPTH LLC, said the project is a small, design‑driven effort to produce bungalow‑style units with first‑floor master bedrooms intended to appeal to older buyers. Architect Craig Murdock said the design emphasizes varied roof forms and detailing and argued the project’s vinyl siding and board‑and‑batten details are high‑quality and appropriate to the bungalow aesthetic. The development department report recommended approval of the development plan to City Council but included a stipulation tied to the zoning‑text architectural requirement (the report described a 70% limit on non‑masonry siding on elevations that front a public right of way).

Several nearby residents spoke in opposition or concern. Julie Ward, whose property backs the vacant lot at 3666 Park Street, said she is concerned about density, the proximity of patios to her windows, the use of vinyl siding and increased on‑street parking from rental occupants. A second resident said neighbors on Grant and across the street were also unhappy with the plans and asked that current residents be considered in the project’s development.

The developer responded that each unit includes an attached garage and driveway, which the team said would prevent on‑street parking; he described the units as higher‑end rentals or for-sale units (the developer referenced $400,000 pricing) and said the materials and detailing would be higher quality than common vinyl examples.

Commissioner discussion addressed whether adding masonry (a water table or brick) would improve design or instead make the structure appear incompatible with the intended bungalow character. The commission considered a motion to recommend approval with the staff stipulation, then voted to amend that motion to remove the stipulation. The final recommendation sent to City Council was to approve the development plan without the masonry/vinyl stipulation. The roll-call votes on both the amendment and the final motion were recorded as affirmative: Chair Oster, Mr. Farnsworth, Mr. Titus and Ms. Wendlinger voted yes on the amendment and on the final approval.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Grove City - Planning Commission - Jul 08, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Grove City Planning Commission recommended approval to City Council of a three‑unit bungalow development at Park Street and Gin Drive in Beulah Park sub‑area G and voted to remove a staff stipulation that would have limited the percentage of vinyl siding on public‑fronting elevations.","taxTitle","Grove City, Franklin County, Ohio","taxId",53876,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6511275,"Planning Commission approves special-use permit and variances for 174‑foot monopole cell tower at Parkway Center Drive",643,287000,930000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5332838-15161333ab638c9c90849886be04d958&start=287&end=930","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5332838-15161333ab638c9c90849886be04d958/thumbnail_287000.jpg","/articles/6511275/Grove-City/Franklin-County/Ohio/Planning-Commission-approves-special-use-permit-and-variances-for-174foot-monopole-cell-tower-at-Parkway-Center-Drive","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6511275-81a7a402018c763d3c5b463155c23d41/orig.mp4?Expires=1771185176&Signature=KLeW46MIOInGubMHi5OA7VxeFom-rWt25fxmxa0lDL3L3ZaEX3ABYoCFsGXML3TyJM8xZFoaHBXvWQ5FgHFNxOtmpfNCrUd0280TkkPwRdOm-op2QcAFMtLLBX~XFA3qIQ2wwNVNV5LI-CHA2~bis38zQtXRlPXHgFrzaWgZg5WoapRPpMITFQkQaaxAT3AyixYAzXNKTM60BCybdPdTe6NVDormY2dgedH5xzdyKgDIvXiHlqa0KJQNfoQiuN4u~EbCyn7LFhtEKL-aqb3EHK3NvwJrgd8BjOyKXHwUQPDFhk01YFa-YaUtWXThXjkhVen1Fsl3NXFgop0dkOv7Kg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Grove City Planning Commission approved a special-use permit and related variances for a proposed monopole cell tower on a 0.808‑acre parcel at 1620 Buckeye Place.

City development staff told commissioners the tower is a 170‑foot galvanized steel monopole with a 4‑foot lightning rod (total 174 feet). The tower sits about 157 feet from Buckeye Place, 61 feet from Parkway Center Drive and 37 feet from the adjacent property to the east; those dimensions do not meet the setback requirements in Grove City code sections 11‑37‑15. Staff recommended variances to setback and landscape-screening requirements and recommended approval of the special-use permit with the variances.

Steve Carr, the applicant’s representative, said the tower will materially improve local coverage—he estimated roughly a half‑mile to one‑mile radius of improved coverage depending on technology—and described the installation as a public-safety improvement. Carr said AT&T has partnered on this site and that other carriers will likely follow. He also described the regulatory timeline: FAA approval had been received; federal tribal consultations, state historical-preservation review and a National Environmental Policy Act process could add several months before construction permits are issued.

The staff report noted three variances: to allow an existing gravel driveway/turnaround (section 11‑37‑11(a)), to reduce the required setback dimensions in section 11‑37‑15, and to modify the two-row evergreen screening requirement around the fenced tower service area. The applicant supplied a manufacturer letter stating that if the monopole failed it would likely bend and remain attached, producing an approximate 35‑foot fall radius. A landscape plan showed 15 blue spruce and 6 flowering dogwood trees; staff said preservation of existing trees along Parkway Center Drive would provide additional screening.

After discussion and questions about coverage radius, monopine versus monopole aesthetics, and regulatory timing, the commission voted to approve the special‑use permit and the variances. Chair Oster, Mr. Farnsworth, Mr. Titus and Ms. Wendlinger voted yes.","Commission approved a special-use permit and three variances for a proposed 170‑foot galvanized monopole (174 feet with lightning rod) at 1620 Buckeye Place; staff supported variances citing lot configuration and existing tree screening; applicant and AT&T representative said the tower will improve coverage and safety.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6511280,"Planning Commission recommends Autumn Grove Section 6, Phase 2 plat to City Council",81,194000,275000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5332838-15161333ab638c9c90849886be04d958&start=194&end=275","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5332838-15161333ab638c9c90849886be04d958/thumbnail_194000.jpg","/articles/6511280/Grove-City/Franklin-County/Ohio/Planning-Commission-recommends-Autumn-Grove-Section-6-Phase-2-plat-to-City-Council","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6511280-13acb410b645f91aa38796ee524fd7df/orig.mp4?Expires=1771185176&Signature=nBNvM-TfjKhUGudO70hy5BXSmrwVgZhiErin~PBdtQXTO2CMynFapJWLVspNNtXdjeacmoEUJZWrbdSxosbLJJLuIXHRZ-gBmzK4qHdcyvIkkB03KBNfjHE2HZDhEYLR7aSDbYItEJJ5lF-0icigF~wjHWG5mSuE~3wsh8oKDjiMg2xl2iNPezUtmV9lDZhE6okq9AkSBtDdYDUKGhSJ7Eui~GpsYKpLLAN9-wGdKKOqhje0ehWIj3O49t~~0fSzvHoNTUtJTyiZ4YwZD4fciD7iuTWudiDKwoKGPir2unDU4Cn6mnlo4TxEcsSCk1YXLAz4MABO-pa82DJThNIjpg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Grove City Planning Commission voted to recommend approval to City Council of the final plat for Autumn Grove Section 6 Phase 2, a subdivision addition that includes 25 lots and right-of-way dedication for a new roadway named Logan Barry Loop.

John Bruno, representing the applicant, told commissioners the final development plan was previously approved in 2022 and that the final plat covers 9.079 acres. The development department report states that all proposed lots meet the lot-size requirements in the R‑1 Zoning District and recommends the planning commission forward a recommendation of approval to City Council.

No members of the public spoke on the item. The commission’s roll-call vote for the recommendation was unanimous: Chair Oster, Mr. Farnsworth, Mr. Titus and Ms. Wendlinger voted yes.

The commission’s approval followed a staff recommendation that the split be approved as submitted. Applicant Jordan Zickafoos of 7123 Riverside Drive, Powell, Ohio, told commissioners he had no additions and was available for questions. No members of the public spoke for or against the split during the public-comment portion of the item.

The development department report notes the split is being requested to accommodate a veterinary animal hospital and that, if the planning commission approves, the split can be finalized with Franklin County.
