Grove City Council approves subdivision plat, annexation services resolution and several routine items; one plat postponed
Summary
At its May meeting, the Grove City Council approved the Farmstead Phase 7 plat (Ordinance C-13-25), adopted a resolution describing municipal services for a pending annexation (Resolution CR-18-25), postponed a developer-submitted plat (Ordinance C-14-25) to June 2, and approved routine minutes and the mayor’s court collections report.
Grove City Council approved multiple land-use and routine items at its regular meeting, including acceptance of a subdivision plat and a procedural annexation-services resolution, and postponed a second plat at the developer’s request.
The council voted to accept the plat for Farmstead Phase 7 (Ordinance C-13-25), covering Lots 266 through 282 and Reserve O in Subarea I. Troy Cameron, the developer, identified himself during the agenda item and provided his address for the record. After public hearing and second reading, the council moved and seconded the ordinance and the motion passed on recorded voice votes.
Council also considered Ordinance C-14-25 to accept the plat for Benton Grove Estate Section 10. The developer asked earlier in the day to postpone that ordinance because an incorrect plat had been submitted and the developer wanted the plat and an amended zoning-text request to be heard together. Council voted to postpone Ordinance C-14-25 until June 2, 2025.
The council approved Resolution CR-18-25, described in the meeting as required by section 709.023 of the Ohio Revised Code, setting forth which municipal services would be furnished to about 0.848 acres at 2255 Holton Road if that property is annexed into the city. City staff explained that the resolution is a statutory step in the annexation process and that the matter then proceeds to the county commission hearing before returning to the city.
Other formal actions included unanimous approval to dispense with the reading of and approve minutes from the April 21, 2025 regular meeting, and approval of the mayor’s court collections report for April, which the mayor reported at $50,879 and presented to council for approval.

Council did not adopt any of the substantive policy measures requested during public comment at this meeting. The council’s land items drew only brief discussion from staff and the developer; the Benton Grove Estate plat was postponed to allow corrected materials and simultaneous consideration with a zoning-text request.
The council’s next regular meeting (and the rescheduled plat hearing for C-14-25) was set for June 2, 2025.
