Planning Commission approvals for Victory Park lighting plan and Hampton Place Phase 8 move forward after council vote

North Ridgeville City Council on May 19 approved two Planning Commission actions: a lighting plan for Victory Park (property zoned I-2, Sports Park at 7707 Victory Lane) and plat/condition approval for Hampton Place Subdivision Phase 8 (R‑1 residential).

The clerk read the Planning Commission minutes into the record. Victory Park’s lighting plan was approved by the Planning Commission 5-0 with a condition that a new photometric analysis be submitted to account for proposed and existing lighting. Council moved to approve the Planning Commission action; the motion passed by roll call with all members voting yes.

Hampton Place Subdivision Phase 8 was approved by the Planning Commission 5-0 subject to conditions: 1) further investigation and acceptable resolution regarding an unclassified pipe on State Route 83 satisfactory to engineering; 2) finish construction of the concrete roadway; and 3) provide a financial guarantee equal to the cost of remaining items not yet constructed. The clerk read that “all conditions must be fulfilled before the plat is signed and executed.” Council voted to approve the Planning Commission’s action on Hampton Place; roll call recorded one dissenting vote noted in council minutes (motion carried 6-1).

During council consideration a member pointed out a typographical error in the Planning Commission report (word “plant” should read “plat”) and the clerk corrected the record. Engineering will require the unclassified pipe issue be resolved before final plat signing and will enforce the financial guarantee requirement.

Both approvals allow the projects to proceed to the next steps in permitting and construction once conditions from planning and engineering are satisfied.
