Developer raises traffic and water-service concerns for Crites farm; village staff says developers install water lines
Summary
John Malley of NAI Ohio Equities asked to share the village transportation plan with potential buyers for the Crites farm, expressed concern about left turns from US‑23, and asked whether the village would support bringing water service; Village Administrator Joe Allen said developers pay for and install water lines and that the current land use plan does not allow warehouses.
John Malley of NAI Ohio Equities addressed the Village of South Bloomfield council during public feedback on June 2, requesting permission to share the village's transportation plan with prospective buyers of the Crites farm property and raising concerns about access: he said he was worried about the ability to turn left off US‑23 into the property.
Malley also said the land use plan CEDA is developing does not allow warehouses, and he suggested that restriction could limit interest from potential buyers. He asked whether the village would support bringing water service to the property. Village Administrator Joe Allen responded that the village does not install water lines and that water lines are paid for and installed by developers.
The exchange was a public comment rather than a council action; no vote or change to zoning or infrastructure policy was recorded in the meeting transcript at this session. Councilors and staff directed interested developers to follow the standard process of contacting the administrator for zoning and service details when a developer expresses formal interest.
