ZANESVILLE CITY COUNCIL MEETING ON MONDAY, DECEMBER 09, 2019
PUBLIC HEARING
A Public Hearing was called to order at 6:31 p.m. on Monday, December 09, 2019
in Zanesville City Council Chambers, 401 Market Street, Zanesville, OH by Council
President Daniel Vincent to hear a request by Store It LLC to vacate portions of
Pearl Street, Beech Street, and unnamed alleys in the vicinity of 302 State Street
here in the City of Zanesville. All testimony for and against will be heard.
Present at this hearing were the following individuals: Matthew Schley, Planning and
Zoning Administrator; Dave Rogers, citizen; Todd E. Ware, Third Ward Councilman
Elect; David Tarbert, Law Director; Mark Baker, First Ward Councilman; Steven
Foreman, Fifth Ward Councilman; J. Rob Sharrer, Joey Osborn, and Ann Gildow,
Councilmembers at Large; Council President Daniel Vincent; Sandy Gentry, Fourth
Ward Councilperson; Bill Arnett, Community Development Director; and Susan
Culbertson, Clerk of Council.
Matthew Schley was asked to guide us through this hearing.
Matthew Schley: Thank you for having me tonight Council. As you said this is an alley
and street vacation. We have both that are being vacated. Some highlights are in this
area (a map was shown on the Mondopad- a large display screen). This area of
Mattingly Foods has had numerous vacations over the years. To be specific there have
been nine vacations over the years, but only six of those vacations have been recorded.
There is a little bit of some: three are recorded and that is not what is being taken care
of today. There is only a single property owner that is in the area. According to the
applicant, which is actually Linn Engineering on behalf of Store It LLC, which is
Mattingly Foods; the vacations are necessary to construct a new cold storage facility.
The Planning Commission did transmit this to Council with the recommendation of
approval. This is an overhead GIS view of the area (a map on the Mondopad). Matthew
described the area and stated some of the lines are not entirely accurate. They have
done some combinations and things of that nature that have made it a little bit difficult to
discern where the alleys were when we initially got this request. So, the Community
Development Department worked with the Engineering Department to figure out exactly
where these alleys and streets were.
Another slide shows the area that shows where things have been vacated prior. All the
vacated areas were viewed. The areas planned to be vacated with this request were
viewed. They previously thought half of the square was already vacated and found out
that was not the case. They plan on cleaning this up on a later date.
Most of the areas have already been built over already or are being used by Mattingly
Foods in another way like parking or something along those lines. That is what I have
for you.
Mr. Vincent: Thank you, sir. With that, on the previous screen none of these areas are
open presently?

ZANESVILLE CITY COUNCIL MEETING ON MONDAY, DECEMBER 09, 2019
Matthew Schley: This whole area is actually closed.
Mr. Vincent: So it actually changes nothing for anyone in the area.
Matthew Schley: No. Mattingly’s entire operation, this is the picture of an aerial of what I
just showed you. This is the area that just hasn’t been vacated. If you see, they have
actually been using it as a parking area for a few years now. It just had never been
vacated. They want to put their cold storage here, but they can’t because it is not
vacated. I believe that is where the request came from, but you are absolutely correct,
Mr. Vincent, that Railroad is already closed off.
Mr. Vincent: That is State Street running right beside it. Okay. Are there any questions
from Council?
Mr. Baker: Just to inform Council this made its way through the CD Committee a week
ago, and you and I were talking before, so just so Council knows, this is a flat area and
depending on whether it is going to be initiated by Linn Engineering or you yourself, this
is all going to be looked at to create some type of uniform zoning somewhere in the
near future.
Matthew Schley: Absolutely. We would be looking in the future to do a total vacation just
one to clean up the entire area. As you saw on this page there are nine ordinances that
show vacations in this area. Three of them are not recorded, six of them are, and it took
myself and David Kerr in engineering a considerable amount of time to figure out what
has been vacated, what hasn’t been vacated, and what has been recorded and what
hasn’t been recorded. We worked with Sue to figure that out as well. So, the benefit in
the future would be to vacate in one Ordinance everything again, even the portions that
are already vacated to have one uniform ordinance that says this entire area has been
vacated by the City. At this time it is not being presented to us. It was our understanding
from the applicant, Linn Engineering, that this was what they needed to get done
immediately to get that Cold Storage project up and running.
Mr. Vincent: Is there anything else, Mr. Baker?
Mr. Baker: Yes, how many jobs are going to be affiliated with the refrigeration units?
Matthew Schley: I would defer that question to Director Bill Arnett. He would be better
suited to answer that question.
Bill Arnett: I think the tax abatement paperwork that came through City Council said
there would be more than one dozen new employment positions created on top of what
was already there.
Mr. Baker: Good.
Page 2 of 14
ZANESVILLE CITY COUNCIL MEETING ON MONDAY, DECEMBER 09, 2019
Mr. Vincent: Mr. Schley, is there anything in the future then, another ordinances to re-
vacate everything that has already been vacated?
Matthew Schley: Yes, I would assume, as I do not like to speculate, but I know it is
something we are actively looking at and we have been actively looking at since this
project came across our desks was how do we make this easier for people in ten to
fifteen years down the line to discern; because like I said, it did take us a lot of time to
get this figured out. It took a lot of man hours that went into this to determine what was
done. So, that is what we would be looking for and Linn Engineering had indicated that
is something they would be interested in doing, but at this time when they needed to get
this done they didn’t have the time or manpower to get that finished in the time period
they had.
Mr. Vincent: It is going to take significant more work to get all the boundaries and
everything drawn up.
Matthew Schley: Yes, it will take a considerable amount of time.
Mr. Vincent: So this is to get the absolute bare minimum to what we need to progress.
Matthew Schley: Yes, the absolute bare minimum to get them up and running with their
new cold storage part.
Mr. Vincent: They have been excellent in the community. Okay, is there anything else
from Council? Okay, is there anyone here to speak for? Is there anyone here to speak
against?
No one came forward to speak for or against this request. The hearing came to a close
about 6:40 p.m.

eligible to apply for funding for certified local government projects through the Ohio
History Connection. The Friends of Putnam had made a request that we seek a grant to
update the Putnam Historic Preservation Plan that was done in 1974. There is no match
requirement and from talking with representatives from the Ohio History Connection
they think this would be a good project that they could consider.

Ordinance No. 19-147 – Introduced by Council – An Ordinance to amend and revise
the Zoning Map and make permanent zoning in the City of Zanesville, Ohio as herein
provided.
Mr. Sharrer moved for first reading, seconded by Mr. Baker.
Mr. Vincent: Is there any discussion?
Mr. Baker: Mr. Arnett, could you explain this a little bit, please?
Mr. Arnett: Sure, so the Planning Commission is recommending changes in zoning of
multiple parcels essentially between Linden Avenue and Maple Avenue along Adair. So,
if you think about it right now most of Adair Avenue is commercial zoning, but you have
portions of the block between Linden and Maple that still have residential zoning. A
number of those parcels are just vacant land now. So the Planning Commission looked
at this, City staff Matthew Schley our Planning and Zoning Administrator, looked at it
and recommended to the Planning Commission that the whole section be rezoned C-4.
During the Planning Commission process there were no negative feedback from any of
the property owners. If there is a house already on the property it is just going to
become legal non-conforming so it doesn’t do anything to the property owner. They can
continue to live in their house just like they always would, but in the future if a vacant lot
Page 7 of 14
ZANESVILLE CITY COUNCIL MEETING ON MONDAY, DECEMBER 09, 2019
would be sold it could actually be developed as a C-4, a commercial lot instead of a
residential lot.
Mrs. Osborn: Mr. Arnett, what could be built in a C-4? What kind of development
happens?
Mr. Arnett: That is Highway Commercial, so if you think of Maple Avenue its drug stores,
restaurants, banks, as it is the highest commercial zoning. I think the limiting factor
would be the amount of acreage you could actually put together. You don’t have acres
and acres and acres so it would be a fairly small development.
Mrs. Osborn: Okay.
Mr. Baker: Mr. Arnett and I have met with some stake holders over other matters over
the last couple of CD meetings and this came up in just sort of an informal way and the
response was along the lines of this is a long time coming as far as being able to spur
development of the area. So, this is good measure.
Mr. Vincent: Then to add on to what Mr. Arnett said, as far as lot size, the depth is going
to make a difference to what could go in there and also the topography, since it is on a
hill. So, that is going to change what you can level off to build.
Mrs. Osborn: What kind of screening is required for that?
Mr. Arnett: I think that is the really good news since the new Landscaping and
Screening Code is in place there would be significant screening along any residential
boundaries. So much more robust than what we would have had previously. It is going
to protect those residential lots that are further off of Adair.
Mrs. Osborn: Okay.
Mr. Vincent: Thank you. Is there anything else from Council? Okay, we are at first
reading so all in favor of first reading signify by saying aye.
All were in favor. None were opposed.
Motion carries.
Ordinance No. 19-148 – Introduced by Council – An Ordinance amending the City of
Zanesville’s Comprehensive Plan Implementation Index.
Mr. Baker moved for first reading, seconded by Mr. Foreman.
Mr. Vincent: Is there any discussion?
Mr. Baker: Mr. Arnett again. None of this has made its way to the CD Committee.
Page 8 of 14
ZANESVILLE CITY COUNCIL MEETING ON MONDAY, DECEMBER 09, 2019
Mr. Arnett: These were all reviewed. The two rezones, the use of variance language,
and then this Comprehensive Plan Implementation Index were all reviewed and
recommended for approval by the Planning Commission. So the City adopted a
Comprehensive Plan and in the back of the Comprehensive Plan is an Implementation
Index. So, it actually shows what kind of action items are attached to each of the goals.
So the Implementation Index actually lets you see what has been done and what has
yet to be done. It was put together with feedback and input from the Public Service
Department, Public Safety Department, and Community Development. So it doesn’t
change the Comprehensive Plan itself; it updates the Implementation Index in the back.
Mr. Vincent: With that the only changes to this are the notes as to what has been
accomplished.
Mr. Arnett: Correct.
Mr. Vincent: So everything else is the same, not changing goals or directives. Is there
anything else from Council? We are at first reading so all in favor of first reading signify
by saying aye.
All were in favor. None were opposed.
Motion carries.
Ordinance No. 19-149 – Introduced by Council – An Ordinance authorizing an
agreement with Muskingum County and the Zanesville-Muskingum County Port
Authority related to infrastructure improvements within the Zanesville-Washington Joint
Economic Development District.
Mr. Foreman moved for first reading, seconded by Mr. Baker.
Mr. Vincent: Is there any discussion? With that tonight Council you have an edited
agreement that is now with that legislation before you tonight. If there are no other
comments we are at first reading; so all in favor of first reading signify by saying aye.
All were in favor. None were opposed.
Motion carries.
ORDINANCES FOR ACTION
Ordinance No. 19-94 – Introduced by Council – Postponed until January 13th so we will
see that then.
Ordinance No. 19-132 – Introduced by Council – An Ordinance authorizing the proper

hear. He has done a lot for the City, I am not sure how many years he has been here.
Mayor can you help? How long?
Mayor Tilton: This time? Since 2014.
Mr. Vincent: Actually, a lot of things and he brought a lot of wisdom, a lot of great things,

Mr. Bennett. We do appreciate it.

Page 13 of 14
ZANESVILLE CITY COUNCIL MEETING ON MONDAY, DECEMBER 09, 2019
Mr. Adam Binckley: Good evening. My name is Adam Binckley and I am a resident of
Zanesville. I am also involved in a collaboration of residents under the banner of S.O.S.
Zanesville. We are trying to respond to the distress we see of our friends and neighbors.
As you know we had a community potluck and silent vigil procession on Friday night.
Participants, many who attend downtown churches; also wrote down their thoughts,
wishes, and prayers for those who are unsheltered and for City officials to help provide
for shelter for these citizens. We present those wishes to you tonight. I have them right
here. We know there is a zoning problem that is standing in the way of serving the
needs of those who are homeless. Our goal is to work with the City to find both a short
term solution so no one freezes to death this winter and a long term solution to end
chronic homelessness in Zanesville. We know that City Council has lots of
responsibilities. We request that we figure out answers together. We would like to
schedule a meeting with Mayor Tilton and Public Safety Director Keane Toney as soon
as possible. We will wait to talk with you after tonight’s meeting and Mrs. Osborn you
and I went to high school together back in the day. I haven’t been in town for a while,
but I desire to hand these off to you, if you will gladly accept.
Mrs. Osborn: Okay.
Mr. Binckley proceeded to hand an envelope to Mrs. Osborn.
Mr. Vincent: Thank you much. Does anybody have anything else?
Mr. Roberts moved to adjourn. It was seconded by Mrs. Osborn.
All were in favor. None were opposed.
Motion carries.
Mr. Vincent: We stand adjourned. Thank you everyone and have a good evening.
