Brimfield Township trustees take no action on zoning amendment to building-height definition

Brimfield Township trustees reviewed, but took no action on, a proposed zoning text amendment Monday that would revise the township's definition of "building height" and add a definition for "eave." The public hearing was held at the Brimfield Townhall on March 2, 2026.

Trustee Nicholas Coia called the meeting to order at 6:20 p.m. The record lists Trustees Nicholas Coia, Kevin Scott and Sue Fields as present; Fiscal Officer Jasmine Golden was noted as absent.

The agenda item was listed as "Brimfield Township Zoning Text Amendment," described in the record as a proposal to amend the definition of building height and to add an eave definition to Chapter 10 (Definitions) of the zoning code. The transcript does not name a presenter for the item.

The record shows the township's existing definition of building height as: "The vertical distance measured from the average elevation of the proposed finished grade at the front of the building to the eaves." The proposed revised definition in the record reads: "The vertical distance measured from the average elevation of the proposed finished grade to the eave or where the parapet wall meets the roofline." The proposed definition of eave in the record is: "The horizontal edge of the roof where it overhangs, or, if it is a flat roof, the top of the roofline."

The transcript states that no action was taken on the amendment during the hearing; there is no recorded motion or vote on that agenda item in the minutes. Shortly after, Trustee Sue Fields moved to adjourn at 6:21 p.m.; Trustee Kevin Scott seconded the motion. Upon roll call the motion passed unanimously, and the meeting record was signed as a true and accurate account.

The transcript does not record further discussion, votes, or follow-up steps for the zoning amendment.
