During the Jan. 22 meeting, Planning Commission member George Chachas asked the council for written follow‑up on several local matters, including code compliance at 292 Aultman St., erosion at 622 High St., RV licensing, a requested permit refund, and authorization of a 6‑foot fence on Mill Street.

The full story

George Chachas used the public‑comment period to press the council for written responses and action on several ongoing local concerns. Chachas, who identified himself as a Planning Commission member, asked why the City Clerk’s and City Engineer’s reports contained no written follow‑up on issues he previously raised: whether 292 Aultman Street qualifies as a commercial building and whether a foundation was constructed; erosion at 622 High Street; RV licensing and a lack of planning applications; a requested refund on a roofing permit; and authorization of a 6‑foot metal fence on the 1200 block of Mill Street.
