ANNEXATION ISSUES - Mike Prosey - Oak Creek East President:

Annexation of the corner of Old State and East Powell into Columbus.
Land was purchased by Coughlin. Not sure what is going on the corner.
Anything annexed to Columbus is automatically initially zoned rural. The developer positions
for the kind of zoning needed to meet their needs.
Petitions to be sent to Columbus City Council to zone property as single-family residential.
Developer to make an application for zoning and attend the Building Department and Far North
Columbus Civic Association meetings to explain their application. We need the assistance of
Prestwick Commons residents with the rezoning because they are located in Columbus.
May want to attend Far North Columbus Coalition who meet the first Tuesday of every month.
Mary O'Shaunessey's Office is getting stricter on zoning.
Development puts burden on Delaware County services.
September is the earliest meeting that the Far North Columbus Coalition (FNCCA) can meet to
discuss the application for rezoning.
