Public Hearing Notice: Board of Zoning Appeals – May 5

The Suffield Township Board of Zoning Appeals will hold a public hearing to consider a zoning variance request.

The hearing will take place on May 5 at 8:00 PM at the Suffield Township Community Room, located at 1256 Waterloo Road, Suffield, Ohio.

This hearing will address a request submitted by Joanna Rolenz regarding property located at 459 State Route 43, within an Industrial District.

The applicant is requesting approval to construct an attached garage onto the existing residence, with a proposed setback of 40 feet from the road. This request does not meet current zoning requirements. Under Section 421.3.C of the Suffield Township Zoning Resolution, the minimum required front yard depth in an Industrial District is 80 feet.

Because the proposed structure does not meet this requirement, a zoning variance is required and is subject to review and approval by the Board of Zoning Appeals.

Public Participation

All interested parties are encouraged to attend the hearing and provide input.

NOPEC Letters Will Be Hitting Your Mailbox Soon

If you would like to learn more about opting in or out of NOPEC, an informational meeting will be held at the Kent Free Library, Second Floor at 6:00PM on April 28.

Suffield Township residents may soon begin receiving letters regarding the Northeast Ohio Public Energy Council (NOPEC) program. These letters provide information about participation options and energy aggregation services available through NOPEC.

To help residents better understand the program and make informed decisions, an upcoming public information meeting will be available for those interested in learning more about how NOPEC works, including details on how to opt in or opt out.

Public Hearing Notice: Board of Zoning Appeals – March 31

The Suffield Township Board of Zoning Appeals will hold a public hearing to consider a zoning variance request.

The hearing will take place on March 31 at 8:00 PM at the Suffield Township Community Room, located at 1256 Waterloo Road.

This hearing will address a request submitted by Tim and Becky Corrick regarding their property located at 309 Pontius Road, Suffield, Ohio, within a Residential District.

The applicants are requesting permission to reside in a recreational camper during the construction of their new home. Under current township zoning regulations, living in a trailer or recreational camper is not a permitted use in a Residential District. Therefore, this request requires a zoning variance and is subject to approval by the Board of Zoning Appeals.

The applicants have already obtained the necessary zoning permit for the construction of their home.

All interested parties are encouraged to attend the hearing and provide input.
