Resident urges review after grade change, zoning and drainage concerns on Clinton Street

Jessica Heath, a resident of 44 Clinton Street, told the Village of Jordan Board of Trustees on Sept. 23 that a grade change created by the owners of 48 Clinton Street could lead to future flooding between the properties. "[I] expressed concern regarding the grade change that has been created between 44 and 48 Clinton Street by the owners of 48 Clinton St.," Heath said during the public-comment portion of the meeting.

Heath also questioned the property's zoning after the business there changed from 3D printing to a motor-vehicle service on May 7, 2023. She asked the board why 48 Clinton St. was not zoned Highway Commercial, saying that a fence or site barrier would be appropriate under "articles 7.3 and 7.4," and formally requested an appeal and a business-application review to confirm whether the business is listed as "3D Graphics" or "3D Performance" on public records. In the meeting record she asked the village codes officer to consider installing a temporary snow fence between the properties because of past trespassing.

The board did not provide a timeline for addressing the drainage issue; the meeting minutes state that the board "does not have an ETA at this time." The transcript includes no staff response that resolves the zoning or drainage questions, so Heath’s requests remain outstanding and subject to a follow-up by village staff.
