Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Delaware public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Houk Road/Greenlawn Drive PUD amendment
About 18 acres at the northwest corner of Houk Road and Greenlawn Drive could see its PUD 25-7 zoning amended, shaping what gets built near that intersection. The commission's vote is only a recommendation — City Council decides.
Performance Impact Arena plan modification
The Ohio AAA Blue Jackets want a minor change to the approved plan for their Performance Impact Arena at Sawmill Parkway and US 42. Unlike the other items, the commission's decision here is final.
Four Seasons at Addison Farms expansion
Sections 4 and 5 of the Four Seasons at Addison Farms single-family subdivision would move forward on nearly 27 acres, adding new homes in the area. Neighbors may weigh in during the public hearing.
Flats at Boulder Park Development Plan
252 apartments in seven three-story buildings near the YMCA won approval 4-2, with dissent focused on density and traffic on Houk Road and Ridge Rock Drive.
Curtis Street industrial development incentives (Guild)
Fed One Dublin wants 63 acres rezoned for speculative industrial development in the city's Southwest Focus Area. The commission kept raw-materials manufacturing as a conditional use, so residents will still get a public review before such operations land there.
Northwood TIF Incentive Districts
The final 251-home phase of Northwood Sub-Area B is headed to City Council. Conditions require the Bixby Parkway extension before permits, and no construction traffic through Kensington. Most lots will be 42 or 52 feet wide.
Possible Paraguay sister city renewal
A former Paraguay ambassador called board member Mark Reed saying the new ambassador is very interested in reviving the Paraguay connection, and the agreement may need renewing. The board hopes to arrange a visit before the end of the school year while the current Paraguayan exchange student is still here.
Baumholder, Germany relationship renewal
The board has been exploring video exchanges with Baumholder, Germany, and ways to connect local veterans who served there with the German city. A photo display legacy question from Melanie Mai was also pending.
