Glenn Edward Holmes, owner of Homes Management LLC at 3902 Broadway, said a recently erected fence behind his property prevents customers and employees from turning around and exiting, and that Axiom—the developer referenced in his remarks—is planning to tear out the driveway and construct a 4‑ to 5‑foot retaining wall.

Holmes said his office at 3902 Broadway has operated at that location for more than 23 years, employs several staff and serves about 400 clients across Columbus and nearby suburbs; on a typical week he said 20 to 30 people visit the office and require parking. He asked council to request that “Mister Ethan Tamika” remove the fence blocking the rear of his driveway and to hold off on tearing out the driveway until a Grove City‑approved site plan is in place and accommodations for his business are considered.

Holmes said he met with Chief Fire Commissioner Randy Little and Fire Marshal Chris Hite, and that those officials told him they did not have a clear plan for emergency access to the areas behind his building and central to the development. Mayor Stage asked whether Holmes’ deed included cross easements; Holmes said he had not seen cross‑easement language and described the driveway as narrow.

Council did not take formal action on the comment. Holmes asked that staff and the developer consider access and parking impacts before construction begins and to coordinate with fire officials on emergency access concerns.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City Council","oneSentenceSummary","Glenn Edward Holmes of Homes Management LLC asked council to delay driveway demolition and have a developer remove a fence that blocks his business access at 3902 Broadway, citing concerns about parking, emergency access and the impact on his clients and employees.","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},6449934,"Council authorizes cooperation with ODOT on US‑62 stormwater work near Demarest Drive",69,319000,388000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5897055-aca6ae5d63472b0bda2a519813e1e597&start=319&end=388","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5897055-aca6ae5d63472b0bda2a519813e1e597/thumbnail_319000.jpg","/articles/6449934/Grove-City/Franklin-County/Ohio/Council-authorizes-cooperation-with-ODOT-on-US62-stormwater-work-near-Demarest-Drive","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6449934-cbc0c8b59b6f5c055cfe9c1fabe8ce0b/orig.mp4?Expires=1770430939&Signature=DBxdp2KLNWno39Omq6HcH9V~Z6MEs8voR6pZpfAk8G2N3Q~A3Qj~frAB86PlGAUVNlu94mpBCMMsLjNrCYN1t9t8ch8jTETSmYqhHgSqV7OqYb6CqJiltA0kjdyw~KwPU6HZ7kKSENxBgu0ly1rvXtJHGdOCeEr8rDHfxmxT~72PLgot6JnhLSyljZYPxXWtT4pIb0tlm9dWSuRYZycViDLIZL8HowrMlHlBPOeDhOMqMYU3emU54x54aMVI4uQWC5yDoMjueTk1FWXRED654mk~7kyCHqxghkLhgtcWSQtCfX6GGuKjBHk~ivzqmzoY1yqyP26d~xdZMFNY~bijzw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Grove City Council approved Resolution CR43‑25 authorizing the city administrator to enter into a cooperative contract with the Ohio Department of Transportation for stormwater improvements along U.S. 62 in the area of Demarest Drive.

City staff told council there will be no expense to the city for the work.

The resolution had a public hearing and was adopted by roll call. Council members recorded on the roll call as voting “yes” included Hauck, Gary, Hughes, Anderson and Wilson. Council Member Dew moved approval; a second was recorded but the speaker was not named in the transcript.

City staff said ODOT will manage the installation of the larger pipe and coordinate the work in the city right‑of‑way; the city’s role will be limited to cooperation, use of basins and permitting coordination.

(date not specified) approved Ordinance C35‑25, granting a special‑use permit for a drive‑through facility at 3188 Southwest Boulevard, the site of the proposed Grove City Drive Thru.

The planning commission recommended approval on Sept. 2 with four stipulations: remove and repaint existing pavement markings to match the approved circulation pattern; bring the site into compliance with Chapter 11.36 of the Grove City Code before opening; locate and enclose the proposed dumpster to comply with Chapter 11.36.08, including supplemental landscaping; and remove all nonconforming signs.

Applicant Zeeshan Usland told the council he would comply with the stipulations, replace or improve the onsite sign and add landscaping. “Whatever you guys need us to do, basically, we can do,” Usland said. City staff indicated they will work with the applicant on signage and the other items before permitting an opening.

The ordinance reached final consideration after a public hearing and was adopted by roll call vote. Council members voting “yes” included Wilson, Hauck, Berry, Dew, Burrows and Anderson. Council Member Burrows moved approval; a second was recorded but the speaker was not named in the transcript. The vote tally on the record was six in favor, zero opposed.

Because the planning commission’s approval includes site‑specific stipulations and code compliance prior to opening, permits and inspections by city staff will be required before the facility may begin operations.

The ordinance is recorded as C35‑25 in council records; the planning commission report and the city code sections noted above provide the conditions the applicant must meet.","Council approved Ordinance C35‑25 granting a special‑use permit for Grove City Drive Thru at 3188 Southwest Boulevard with four stipulations from the planning commission; the applicant agreed to comply and staff will coordinate signage and landscaping before opening.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6449919,"City reports handicap‑parking updates, new stop signs and progress on police recruiting",188,1282000,1470000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5897055-aca6ae5d63472b0bda2a519813e1e597&start=1282&end=1470","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5897055-aca6ae5d63472b0bda2a519813e1e597/thumbnail_1282000.jpg","/articles/6449919/Grove-City/Franklin-County/Ohio/City-reports-handicapparking-updates-new-stop-signs-and-progress-on-police-recruiting","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6449919-db11b87a829f3a0ab8c8325a7fb483c9/orig.mp4?Expires=1770430939&Signature=UsPRDOnUg~rXLxMFKxjGnUdSfuqwWt4ATLTRBvQIJW7H58CkxAeWCdp~RZY6HvxgdSy8Szs6iu9qUADu8dK6I~KrC8UpTKZvzoN~dFNDgV8~-HSbtUCEtZOJAbAiKvlNthAs9xdZ7NGjm4qHAIAKA2IYN3BIMUm4FC~NB~EyLU298kz1iZUrMyFXzL9t3EZfcPHjQMhI6U-nxuwfheue3B73Nj8sGFCSm1n5d1DbgC87ygHdH~tRSvPzz1UKPXBY0TNT-n6tdC2Mxt0pZfKK81IhHCZ3tZJqGzlsfcUTsQgYoTfzK9QqP0DmXzclul-uOfpcsIga6cJ0uiN180Emvw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","City staff reported updates on parking, traffic control and police recruiting during the council meeting.

Public works staff said four new handicap parking spaces were added at the Gold Star Families Memorial, Big Splash, Indian Trails Park on Buckeye Parkway and Friar Park, coordinated with recent repaving and striping work.

Traffic changes completed this week include installing a three‑way stop at Southwest Boulevard and McDowell to ease northbound morning traffic and a three‑way stop at Demarest Drive and Windcrest Lane to address speed and traffic calming concerns. Staff said engineers previously found the Southwest Boulevard/McDowell intersection fell just short of needing a traffic signal and that they will monitor the stop sign’s effectiveness.

The police division provided a recruitment and training update. Staff reported two recruits from the Westerville Police Academy arriving this Friday, seven at the Columbus Police Academy due to graduate next month, two enrolled in the Delaware County Police Academy and one in the Ohio State Highway Patrol academy with a graduation next year. The director said the nine officers scheduled to arrive this year will bring the force to full staffing, and additional recruits in academy pipelines would cover retirements and turnover.

Council members asked for graduation dates and thanked staff for recruitment efforts. The city will continue to monitor intersection performance and staffing levels as new officers complete training and field training programs.","City staff reported four new handicap parking spaces installed during repaving, installation of two three‑way stop intersections to address traffic flow, and a multi‑academy police recruitment program that will bring roughly nine new officers this year with more in training next year.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6449925,"Safety director outlines e‑scooter rules, reports five city crashes in three years and launches youth outreach campaign",148,1058000,1206000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5897055-aca6ae5d63472b0bda2a519813e1e597&start=1058&end=1206","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5897055-aca6ae5d63472b0bda2a519813e1e597/thumbnail_1058000.jpg","/articles/6449925/Grove-City/Franklin-County/Ohio/Safety-director-outlines-escooter-rules-reports-five-city-crashes-in-three-years-and-launches-youth-outreach-campaign","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6449925-104bbbfffeb3d4a52bef77cf11576e0b/orig.mp4?Expires=1770430939&Signature=TQ6Da32YfU41kyGa35PjqEkhSVNCtUCbjWg~eLsO16MTWPpOYH~-uoOxKFjsfo1kx1pqgnqW9Nod6nKgbXmp-0FjBSirp4s83LYhQDlIyELWWfRHi8XVWhiltiO3cePQibFP~douf~nCKyZGMM7-nGPYNux2~dTusKcQ0hEZpSFWZU9Dyt797qf8iR-W43l1BEN7MTFGEpLLNjqoiOTbabJNllVvDc2o7zSqCGX-UIOnJSMS-h~J3tmVjNlgxSuTUX7j5xqIyCQBJjx4lfpLo1DKrA-ovIBjUfOZrVo6WB8Yd~pjaM2wrC4QFpYorgsX-mYCfA4ZjTKrLyK4IVlHYA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Grove City’s safety director briefed council on state law and a local outreach campaign aimed at reducing injuries involving e‑scooters and other low‑speed micromobility devices.

Kevin Tiefer said the Ohio Revised Code regulates these devices and allows them on streets, highways, sidewalks and shared‑use paths, subject to the same traffic signs and signals as bicycles. He said operators must yield to pedestrians when passing on sidewalks or multi‑use paths, issue an audible signal before passing, and use a red reflector or light at night for visibility. Tiefer noted that the city’s local ordinance only defines the device; enforcement relies on the state code. He added that local jurisdictions may impose restrictions or prohibitions if council desires.

Tiefer introduced a new outreach campaign, Keep It Cool, Ride by the Rules, that will be promoted through Southwest City Schools, Grove City Christian School and Parks and Recreation programs, and will target youth riders and parents. “Our new campaign … is called Keep It Cool, Ride by the Rules,” he said.

When asked about crash frequency, Tiefer said the city has recorded five crashes involving scooters in the last three years; he said none were serious injury crashes but that injuries did occur. Council members asked for further information on crash timing and an update on the outreach rollout as the program is implemented.

Tiefer said the city will use educational messaging, school partnerships and parks programming to reach riders and parents and will share more details as the campaign is rolled out.","Grove City’s safety director summarized Ohio law on low‑speed micromobility devices, reported five scooter crashes in three years (no serious injuries), and introduced a Keep It Cool, Ride by the Rules campaign that will partner with local schools and parks and recreation.","actionData","errors"]
