Plain City resident says annexation notices did not reach nearby property owners; staff to review notification practice
Summary
A Plain City resident told council he did not receive mailed notice of an earlier annexation and urged the village to review its notice procedures for direct neighbors, saying he learned about the meeting only an hour before it began.
Resident Eric Medici told council he had not received mailed notice for a prior annexation affecting property directly across the street and asked whether the village’s notification policy requires sending notice to the immediately adjacent property owner.
Medici said he received notice of a later zoning change but not of the earlier annexation; he described the omission as the second missed notification and suggested the village should adjust how it notifies nearby owners. He said the zoning notice reached him but the annexation notice did not, and he discovered the annexation item would be on the council agenda only an hour before the meeting.
Council and staff acknowledged the comment and indicated they would review notification procedures. Planning staff separately confirmed at later discussion that notices for rezoning/annexation were followed for the Creek View Commerce Park item and that specific mailing requirements depend on the type of proceeding (annexation versus rezoning). No council action was taken during public comment; the item was logged for staff follow‑up.
