View of Proposed Road Vacation KL |
Commissioner Short convened the
view of the proposed Road Vacation and turned the discussion
over to the County Engineer, Frank Onweller. Mr. Onweller
explained that the petition requests a vacation of Road KL as it
comes off of Rt 66. It is a dead end, stone road that is not
maintained by the Township and functions as a private drive for
Andy Heer to his property. He stated that the adjoining
landowners include Mr. Heer and the Gorham Fayette School
District. If the vacation would go through, the stone drive
will sit part on the schools property when it reverts back so
that may be an issue but otherwise sees no problems. Mr.
Onweller then turned the discussion over to Joe Fenicle,
Surveyor for the Fulton County Engineer. Mr. Fenicle explained
the general layout of the proposed vacation.
The public hearing on this will be
held on February 19, 2009 at 9:30 a.m. in the
Commissioners Session Room. |

Discussion on Neighborhood
Stabilization Guideline Review. |
Present for the discussion were
Steve Brown, Regional Planning Director; Amy Metz, Fayette
Village Administrator; Tom Hall, City of Wauseon Zoning
Inspector; and Kristene Clark, Habitat For Humanity.
Mr. Genter stated that the purpose
of this meeting is pursuant to another meeting held on this
matter in Defiance yesterday. Maumee Valley is the organization
that is the lead on this project and they have come up with a
formula to determine how the funds would be awarded to the
entities involved. He stated that Fulton County has been
awarded $142,029.22 of these funds. Out of that amount it was
depicted that Fayette and areas of Wauseon could make the
biggest area of impact at the current time. He stated that
along with these funds, CHIP funds can be used for rehab. This
is a 4 year program. Another round of funding at this time is
questionable. He stated that Fulton is the lead County in
this. He asked what Wauseon and Fayette’s ideas were concerning
either purchase and rehab or demo and landbank.
Mr. Hall stated that there were 4-5
properties in Wauseon eligible and Ms. Metz stated there are 2
homes that are close together that may work. She said there are
other individual properties available but are trying to focus on
sections.
Mr. Hall stated that they would be
working in LMI identified areas. Ms. Metz stated that their
income survey expired at the end of ’08 and was concerned if
another one should be obtained.
Commissioner Short asked who these
properties are owned by. Mr. Hall stated that of the properties
he referenced, 1 is vacant, 2 are occupied rentals that are in
bad shape and another empty single family home. The idea is to
use funds to secure them and have Habitat for Humanity build off
of that.
Ms. Metz asked who is going to have
the landbank. Mr. Hall stated that Maumee Valley would secure
the properties but someone still has to hold them. Regional
Planning, Habitat, or NOCAC were suggested.
Ms. Clark stated that their goal is
to use CHIP grant funds to grab a strip of land and divide into
3 lots because 35% of their building costs goes toward land.
Mr. Hall stated that an area on Jefferson in Wauseon could serve
as 3 lots if one more property was purchased. He further noted
that it is better to buy existing lots to save thousands in tap
fees.
The program funds are good for 4
years so any monies gained could be rolled back into the program
for the first couple of years to use for more projects. Any
monies remaining at the end of the 4 year term will have to be
returned. Mr. Brown stated that there are a number of housing
strategies that fall under the Formula program which may be able
to assist in this matter.
Ms. Metz stated that her goal is to
take small steps at first and make 1-2 purchases to rehab or
demo to gain the confidence of the community. Mr. Brown noted
that a couple of improvements in the neighborhood often times
will spread.
Commissioner Genter stated
something has to be put together quickly because the application
is due February 27, 2009. He asked that each community, with
the assistance of Steve Brown, find a parcel of land that would
qualify and also to keep their eyes open for other funds that
may come available.
Commissioner Short stated that
through this “We can remove the blight in communities, assist
Habitat for Humanity and provide housing for some individuals
that are in need. Right there is the summary of the whole
thing.”
Commissioner Genter thanked
everyone for attending the discussion.
