Votes at a glance: Hebron council approves appropriation change, alley vacation, rezoning and community events
Summary
At its Aug. 14, 2024 meeting the Hebron Council adopted an appropriation amendment, approved a rezoning and a development agreement, authorized an alley vacation (two opposed), scheduled a public hearing for an MI Homes PRD, and directed staff to draft park-rule and stormwater utility legislation.
The Village of Hebron Council recorded multiple formal actions at its Aug. 14 meeting, including budget, land-use, property and community-event decisions:
- Ordinance 27-24 (appropriation amendment): Council suspended readings and adopted the amendment to the 2024 appropriations after a staff request to set up fund accounts; the motion passed on a unanimous roll-call vote.
- Resolution 24-11 (Pulte Homes development agreement): Council suspended readings and adopted the resolution authorizing the mayor and fiscal officer to execute a development agreement with Pulte Homes. The motions carried with Councilmember Annelle Porter the lone dissent on both the suspension and the adoption.
- Ordinance 24-24 (rezoning — Canal Road parcels): Council adopted the rezoning ordinance on a unanimous vote, clearing the parcels identified in the ordinance for the proposed Canal Crossing development.
- Alley vacation request: After Planning & Zoning review and a property-owner presentation, Council voted to vacate an alley contingent on addressing future request processes. The motion passed with Councilmembers Andrea Chapman and Annelle Porter voting against.
- Trick-or-Treat and Canal Park event: Council scheduled Trick-or-Treat for Oct. 31, 2024, 5:30–7:00 p.m., followed by a Canal Park event funded by a Licking County Foundation grant; the motion passed unanimously.
- Park rules and stormwater utility: Council directed the Village Solicitor to draft legislation to update park rules and to draft legislation to create a stormwater utility; both motions passed unanimously.
Motions were made and seconded as recorded in the meeting minutes; roll-call tallies were taken for adopted items. Items that completed procedural readings (for example, Ordinance 26-24 was on second reading) were listed on the agenda but were not adopted that evening.
Next procedural steps for adopted ordinances and resolutions are administrative execution (for agreements), ordinance codification, and drafting of new legislation where direction was given to staff and the solicitor.
