Planning commission defers zone change; village advertises waste/recycling RFP and reports staffing changes
Summary
At the Dec. 8 Carrollton Council meeting, Planning Commission discussion deferred a requested B-1 to B-2 zone change for a proposed car dealership and postponed action on an 8-lot parceling of school property; the Village Administrator reported an RFP for waste/recycling due Dec. 26 and a Street Department resignation.
Tom Konst, reporting for the Planning Commission, said the Commission considered two matters at its meeting earlier the same day. A request by Greg Magee (729 N. Lisbon St.) to rezone property from B-1 to B-2 to operate a car dealership failed to advance for lack of a second; the Commission moved to the next item. The Commission also discussed a school property scheduled for auction and a proposal to divide it into eight lots, but no representative from the school or the auctioneer appeared and Commissioners postponed action until more information is provided.
In the Village Administrator report, Mark Wells said the village met with its IT provider and a representative from Spectrum Communications to discuss internet services and that Chief Timberlake is participating in the police officer interview process. Wells reported that a request for proposals for solid waste and curbside recycling services has been advertised in local news, social media and the village website with proposals to be received by Dec. 26, 2025.
Wells also informed council members that Brandon Smith resigned from the Street Department; the position has been posted and workers from other departments are assisting with snow removal until the vacancy is filled. He noted that future park improvement funding should be considered in the 2026 budget and reminded residents that downtown trash receptacles are not intended for household refuse. Staff reported completion of the Terry Moore property demolition and site restoration; ownership and future maintenance responsibilities were not specified in the minutes.
Council members used the meeting's Council section to raise follow-up concerns: Tangler asked whether the 3rd Street Project resolved localized flooding where a resident refused to grant an easement; Lambert relayed a constituent's concern about heavy truck traffic in the downtown square and asked whether traffic flow could be altered; and Barto asked about the status of ordering signage for Lawrence Drive. Village Administrator Mark Wells said he would look into the traffic and signage matters and coordinate with the police chief.
Votes at a glance: The council approved the Nov. 24, 2025 minutes (motion by Tangler, second Barto; roll call 6-0); approved payment of bills (motion by Locke, second White; roll call 6-0); approved payment of bills without prior certification (motion by Tangler, second Lambert; roll call 6-0); and adjourned at 7:15 p.m. after a motion by Locke and second by Parker (roll call 6-0).
