Moraine grooming shop owner asks council for help with adjacent nuisance property
Summary
Joelle Coleman, owner of Pawprint Grooming, told council her business has experienced repeated trespass, vandalism and public urination at an adjacent property and asked the city for guidance and enforcement help.
MORAINE, Ohio — During the ‘persons appearing before council’ portion of the Oct. 23 meeting, Joelle Coleman, owner of Pawprint Grooming at 5236 Spring Grove Pike, described repeated problems tied to an adjacent property and asked the city for assistance.
Coleman told council she bought the business in 2012 and that in the past two years new neighbors on the adjacent property have caused ongoing problems including trash dumping, cars blocking her lot, public urination, and people using a garage on the neighboring parcel. She said employees are now reluctant to go outside for breaks because of the activity.
“I can't — every day I go in and there’s something new,” Coleman said on the record, describing repeated fence repairs and towed vehicles. She told council she has contacted zoning and police nonemergency but still needs additional support.
Council response: The mayor and council acknowledged the complaint and indicated the police chief or relevant staff could address it; Coleman asked for direction and assistance. The transcript records a suggestion that the chief of police might follow up.
Next steps: The transcript indicates staff (zoning and police) had been contacted and that the chief might address the issue; no formal motion or directive was recorded on the council floor during the meeting.
