Twinsburg Council approves property purchase, emergency ordinance and permits in unanimous votes
Summary
At its Nov. 25 meeting, Twinsburg City Council approved a purchase agreement for 2597 East Aurora Road, adopted Ordinance 119 as an emergency after suspending the three‑reading rule, and approved a liquor permit and a home‑business conditional use permit; most recorded votes were unanimous 7–0.
Twinsburg City Council acted on a series of legislative items at its Nov. 25 meeting, approving a real-estate purchase, adopting an emergency ordinance and granting two business-related approvals by unanimous votes.
Resolution 109-2025 authorized the mayor to enter into a real estate purchase agreement with Peter W. Burnett and Laurie A. Burnett for property at 2597 East Aurora Road. Council discussed whether the property was of historical significance; one councilmember reported consulting Rebecca Ziegler, who indicated it is not on any historic list. The resolution passed on roll call 7–0.
Council moved to suspend the three‑reading rule so Ordinance 119-2025 could be placed on a third and final reading immediately. The suspension vote passed 7–0. Council then adopted Ordinance 119-2025 as an emergency by roll call; the ordinance passed 7–0. The transcript excerpt does not include the ordinance’s full text; council recorded the procedural suspension and the emergency adoption at the meeting.
On permits and business approvals, council voted not to oppose a new liquor permit for Quintessential Cigar Lounge, Inc., a Darrow Road establishment, and authorized the clerk to submit the form to the Ohio Division of Liquor Control. That motion passed 7–0. Council also approved a conditional use permit for massage therapy as a home occupation at 1246 Waldo Way in an R‑4 residential district, following a unanimous Planning Commission recommendation; that motion likewise passed 7–0. The applicant was described as a licensed master therapist.
Other items introduced or placed on first reading included Resolution 107 (authorizing a contract with Aetna plus for IT services), Resolution 113 (a revised Summit County intergovernmental MOU for the direct indictment program, noted on second reading), and Ordinance 120 (accepting the bid of AMS Landscaping LLC for the Waterford Pond dredging phase 1 project), which stood on first reading with no final vote recorded in the excerpt.
Most formal roll-call votes recorded in the transcript excerpt were unanimous 7–0. A swearing-in for incoming officials was announced for Dec. 1.
