Warehouse/office plan moves ahead 

By Katelyn Sattler 

Staff Writer 

The Obetz Planning & Zoning 

Commission approved the rezoning and 

preliminary development plan for the 

14.6 acre Vargas property on Williams 

Road, located east of Tata Excavation 

and west of Schneider Trucking. 

Rebecca Mott, attorney with Plank 

Law Firm, LPA, and Derik Leary, P.E., 

Civil Engineer with Kimley-Horn, represented 

the applicant, Stonemont 

Financial Group, at the commission’s 

May 11 meeting. 

The application is for two warehouse 

office flex buildings, which would include 

some storage of light industrial such as 

packaging, processing, loading, unloading, 

and transportation. The rezoning 

would be as a planned industrial district. 

Obetz Community Services Director 

Stacey Boumis said she didn’t think permitted 

use manufacturing was appropriate. 

Some manufacturing might be 

acceptable with a conditional use permit, 

but not things that would emit odor, 

dust, fumes, or smoke. Mayor Angela 

Kirk requested no paper products be produced 

there. 

Boumis wants to be sure nothing is 

going to be put on the property that 

would interrupt the Fortress operation 

nearby. 

The maximum height of the warehouses 

allowed is 42 feet. Parking in the 

northwest corner has been eliminated. 

Landscaping has been added to the 

Williams Road frontage. Truck and trailer 

parking should 

not be visible from 

Williams Road.

of the building is

Mott said is necessary.

Buckstone progressing

Staff Writer 

Obetz City Council approved more legislation regarding the 

Buckstone development at its May 23 meeting. 

The Buckstone development is on the former Younkin farm, 

located near the intersection of Lockbourne and Rathmell roads. 

It is a proposed upscale development of about 250 single family 

houses with 14 to 15 acres of open space, and a playground. The 

proposed development will have walkable paths, a swim club that 

will be available for all Obetz residents to use, and a park. 

Obetz City Administrator Rod Davisson described these two 

pieces of legislation that were passed by council. The first involves 

the tax increment finance (TIF) with the PILOT (payments in lieu 

of taxes) payments. The PILOT payments are where the people 

have to make payments that are equivalent to the taxes they 

would have otherwise paid and then get distributed. 

Recently the Franklin County Commissioners opposed instituting 

the TIF because they felt it would reduce revenue for county 

social services agencies. 

“This is what normally happens,” said Obetz Mayor Angela 

Kirk. “We have to go back and sit down with them and come to an 

agreement. It doesn’t delay what we’re doing with Buckstone.” 

The second ordinance concerns a 15-year Community 

Reinvestment Area which abates the property taxes and that is 

immediately replaced with a New Community Authority charge, 

which is the equivalent of the tax money that was abated. 

“That means if the house had taxes of $5,000, we wipe out those 

taxes of $5,000 and then immediately institute a charge of 

$5,000,” said Davisson. “And what that does is allow a city to redirect 

the tax money that would have gone to other political subdivisions, 

like the schools, the township, and the county, and then 

the city is able to use that money to build that infrastructure that 

gets the development going.” 

That is for years 1 to 15. 

“But at years 16 to 30, it’s done through tax increment financing,” 

said Davisson. “And so what you get is for 30 years, people 

who buy houses there don’t have to pay property taxes, but they 

immediately have to pay an amount equal to the property taxes 

plus another 5 mills. Again, if your property tax was going to be 

$5,000, you don’t have to pay that tax of $5,000, but you have to 

pay $5,000 plus another 5 mills. That’s another $1,000 and you 

have to pay that for the entire 30 years. And then we collect that

CONCEALING UNSIGHTLY TEETH 

If your front teeth are so unattractive 

that you try to hide 

them with a closed-lip smile or 

with your hand covering your 

mouth, you may be interested in 

one of the new advances in 

esthetic dentistry: laminate 

veneers. 

Veneers are customized, laboratory-produced 

coverings that 

fit over the front and sides of the 

tooth. They can be used to correct 

a variety of smile-spoiling 

imperfections, including stains, 

cracks, or chips. With veneers, 

your teeth can be made longer 

or wider, and many spacing 

problems can be corrected. By 

concealing unsightly teeth, 

these natural-looking veneers 

mean that you need not cover 

up your smile ever again. 

Veneers offer certain advantages 

over other, more involved 

or time consuming cosmetic 

treatments. Veneering is a relatively 

conservative approach, 

requiring just a slight reduction 

in the tooth’s surface. 

Prepared as a public service to 

promote better dental health.

couple trucks should be able to stay on the property 

and obtain the repair on it, not have to be moved away 

to some other location to be repaired.” 

Officials said the farm operation to the east is staying 

and the zoning of this plan isn’t applicable to that 

area. 

“I’m not the one to disrupt any of these operations,” 

said Boumis. 

Screening and landscaping is necessary to ensure 

that whatever is happening on this site doesn’t impact 

the farming operation. 

“The bottom part of this project was proposed years 

ago to be an expansion of Schneider Trucking, but they 

never pulled the trigger, so those site plans have 

expired,” said Boumis. “At that time, we made them do 

fencing and screen along that entire length, so I would 

expect that to occur here, too.” 

A possible wetland was flagged. If it is a wetland, a 

mitigation plan is needed.

questioned Mott about the use and potential tenants of

money and then we’re able to distribute pieces of it to 

the school district as they need it, to the township, to 

the JVS, and some to the county. All those are made 

through contracts that we make with those political 

subdivisions.” 

He said, under Ohio law, currently that is the only 

way that new residential housing can be responsibly 

built. 

“The law isn’t really set up for cities to build residential 

housing, because cities don’t make much 

money on houses,” said Davisson. “They make very little 

off of property taxes. Last year, our property tax 

collection for the entire city was about $250,000. Our 

income tax collection last year was $15 million. It’s a 

huge difference. The only way you can do that is if you 

build them and you take everybody's tax money, meaning 

the school, the county, the township. The law 

allows you to do this. You redirect that money to the 

city, you use that money to build the roads, the water 

lines, the parks, all the stuff that you need there, but 

you only get 30 years to do it. Then at the end of 30 

years, all of those people listed, the schools, the township. 

They get all the tax money back.” 

Davisson said officials estimate that the school district 

in year 31 would be making about $10 million a 

year from this project. He said right now the school district 

is getting about $10,000 a year from the project. 

“So that same land, 30 years from now, will generate 

$10 million a year for the school district,” said 

Davisson. “And then that money lasts forever, right? 

As long as those buildings are there, they keep collecting 

that money. There are plenty of cities out there 

that aren’t doing it that way. And I think they’re going 

to regret that, only because they’re going to find out 

that houses don’t generate enough tax money to take 

care of the roads, the sidewalks and all those kinds of 

things. Our setup is different.” 

He said, in 50 years, based on conservative estimates, 

the school district will make more than $1 billion 

on the taxes that arise. 

“The township will make hundreds of millions of 

dollars,” said Davisson. “Compared to the $40,000 a 

year they make now on that farm land, it is a huge difference.” 

the warehouse. He doesn’t want a trucking company 

coming in. 

Boumis said, “The land where Schneider trucking is 

located, which is immediately to the east, is owned by 

Stonemont Financial Group, which is also the applicant 

for this rezoning. So I think that that’s part of the 

concern. Will Schneider Trucking, because it’s connected, 

start to expand over? That cannot happen.” 

Mott was unaware that SFG also owned the nearby 

Schneider Trucking. She asked Boumis to provide language 

for the development text to avoid that type of 

use. 

There is a need for a development agreement on the 

woods to the south of the railroad track, which will be 

discussed at Obetz City Council. 

There were also some previous conversations with 

administration on additional open space and trees by 

the ponds. 

The rezoning and preliminary development agreement 

will now go to council.

The generosity of members of the Hamilton Township High School Alumni Association 

is enabling the high school’s media center to fill its shelves with reference and reading 

materials for students. Association Treasurer Karen Cook, left, presents an $800 check 

from donations to the organization’s George Cole Memorial Library Fund to media center 

specialist Nicky Harter, right, on May 19. 

Alumni support library 

By Linda Dillman 

Staff Writer 

Born out of an effort over a decade ago 

to help compensate for dwindling library 

funding, members of Hamilton Township 

High School’s Alumni Association continue 

to annually support the high school media 

center. 

The Cole Memorial Library Fund was 

created to buy books and resources the 

media center would not otherwise be able 

to procure. It is a way to honor long-time 

history instructor George Cole, who spent 

his career as a teacher in the Hamilton district 

starting in the 1930s. 

On May 19, Hamilton Township High 

School Alumni Association Treasurer 

Karen Hunter Cook presented an $800 

check to media center specialist Nicky 

Harter on behalf of the alumni organization 

to purchase supplies for the upcoming 

school year. 

Over the last five years, the alumni 

association has donated more than $5,700 

to the Hamilton High School Media 

Center. 

“As a group of graduates and now professionals 

both working and retired, we 

know the importance of the media center,” 

said Cook. “Students need this area of the 

school to learn how to access information 

in libraries at a college or trade school they 

attend after graduating from HTHS. 

Libraries are the backbone of their studies 

now and in the future and we want this 

tool to be at their ready. Learning how to 

use library resources is as important as the 

information it offers them and through the 

generosity of our members, we are able to 

help keep those resources current.” 

Cook said libraries typically are not 

heavily subsidized by school districts and 

often feel the pain when belt tightening 

takes place. 

“The funds they do get are never 

enough,” said Cook. “Today, a library does 

much more than just loan books. It serves 

as a media center and houses much more 

than books filed by the Dewey Decimal 

System and index cards that tell you 

where a book is located. There are now 

areas for computers, copiers and in some 

cases supplies, unlike decades ago. We 

support our media center to help them get 

some of the supplies–be it books or equipment–that 

they might not otherwise be 

able to buy.” 

Harter is already using the donation to 

purchase books including “The 7 Habits of 

Highly Effective People,” by Stephen R 

Covey, which students use in their advisory 

classes over the course of the school 

year. 

“I wanted to include a copy in our collection,” 

said Harter. 

Also on the list is “The 1619 Project,” by 

Nikole Hannah-Jones, a popular awardwinning 

book about the history of slavery 

in the United States; a copy of “The 

Handmaid's Tale,” by Margaret Atwood to 

replace a well-worn edition of the timeless 

classic; “The 57 Bus,” by Dashka Slate; and 

“Exit, pursued by a bear,” by E.K. 

Johnston; and “Firekeeper's Daughter,” by 

Angeline Boulley. 

“This (“Firekeeper’s Daughter”) is one of 

the most awarded and highly acclaimed 

young adult novels of 2021,” said Harter. “I 

am excited to add it to our collection.”

From humble beginnings great things 

take place. 

In the village of Lockbourne, one such 

beginning was the creation of the 

Lockbourne Heritage Society in 1992, an 

organization dedicated to preserving and 

promoting the history of Lockbourne. 

The Lockbourne Heritage Society was 

begun by five individuals. 

Their goal was simple–bring attention 

to the history of the village and recognize 

notable events in establishing plans for the 

continuing evolution of the community. 

“Along with those goals was the desire 

to have the village’s remaining six canal 

locks and several buildings included on the 

National register of Historic Places,” said 

Society President Jane McJunkin. “The 

locks, part of a series of eight in the village, 

were integral in the Ohio & Erie Canal system.” 

Community identity 

With its close proximity to Columbus, 

Lockbourne served as a junction point 

between the Columbus Feeder and the 

Ohio & Erie Canal, which brought goods 

and services to the interior of Ohio and 

allowed farmers and residents to fully 

engage in regional and national trade. 

“That helped America and our nation 

grow,” said McJunkin. “The Lockbourne 

Heritage Society membership eventually 

grew to 47 members, but has dwindled to 

around 13 due to older members passing 

away and the younger generation not having 

the time or, in some cases, the interest. 

It is important for every community to 

have its own identity, something that local 

residents can point to as their own unique 

contribution to their area. Lockbourne is 

rich in history in Hamilton Township, as 

well as the Hamilton Local School District. 

The heritage society is dedicated to helping 

preserve the past for future generations.” 

Projects 

The society raises fund for projects 

through their semi-annual fish frys–one 

during Lent and another close to Flag Day. 

The next one takes place on June 2 and 

3 in the town’s Historical Hall. 

Fundraisers also include the sale of t- 

shirts, Veteran’s Memorial bricks, pottery, 

afghans and decorative lighted wine bottles. 

At one time, the land around the Ohio & 

Erie locks and canals in Lockbourne was 

nothing but weeds. 

The society assumed responsibility for 

mowing, weeding and cleaning the area. 

Over the last three decades, the organization 

also donated thousands of dollars 

benefiting the village, including building 

the former Veteran’s Memorial Park and 

buying new flags and flowers each year. 

The society also provided concrete for

the shelter house in Locke Meadow Park, 

sponsors the village’s Easter Egg Hunt, 

donates to the annual Christmas Party 

and purchases Ohio Historical Markers. 

Members provided food and household 

goods for a family displaced by fire, made 

monetary donations to five local churches 

and supported the Lockbourne Food 

Pantry. 

McJunkin said the society purchased 

flower barrels and flowers for Commerce 

Street, bought a sign and materials for a 

marker depicting Lockbourne’s plat stone, 

bought paint for several houses and is in 

the process of getting a historical doctor’s 

office moved to a new location. 

The long-term project includes restoring 

the interior of the Blake office, which is 

currently located at the entrance to Locke 

Meadow Park. 

The society also hopes to have a museum 

one day where they can house and 

share numerous Lockbourne artifacts. 

“For our current projects, we are 

researching a new lightweight lectern that 

can be used at the gazebo and downstairs 

at the hall, and we are pursuing a new 

wireless sound system that also can be 

used at the Veteran’s Park and hall for 

meetings,” said McJunkin. “The founding 

five would be very pleased to know that 

their dream actually became a reality as 

our Ohio & Erie locks and canals have been 

added to the National Register of Historic 

Places thanks to our members and volunteers 

who work tirelessly to reach our 

goals–it really does take a village.”

A new Ohio law, that goes into effect 

July 1, allows individuals to possess consumer 

grade fireworks in Ohio, eliminating 

a requirement that purchasers transport 

consumer grade fireworks out of the state 

within 48 hours of purchase. 

It also allows any person authorized to 

possess consumer grade fireworks to discharge 

them on their own property or on 

another person’s property with permission 

on the following days: New Year’s Day; 

Chinese New Year; Cinco de Mayo; 

Memorial Day weekend; Juneteenth; July 

3, 4, and 5 and the Fridays, Saturdays, and 

Sundays preceding and following; Labor 

Day weekend; Diwali; and New Year’s Eve. 

According to a statement from Governor 

Mike DeWine, “The bill I signed limits the 

discharge of fireworks to the more traditional 

holidays that Ohioans celebrate, 

while recognizing our numerous culturally 

diverse holidays.” 

The law permits local governments to 

restrict the dates and times when individuals 

may discharge consumer grade fireworks 

or to impose a complete ban on the 

use of consumer grade fireworks. 

The law also: 

•requires licensed retailers, manufacturers, 

and wholesalers selling consumer 

grade fireworks to offer safety glasses for 

free or for a nominal fee and to provide purchasers 

with a safety pamphlet; 

•prohibits discharging fireworks while 

in possession of or under the influence of 

Metro Parks wildlife advice 

Spring is here and its the season for calls 

about orphaned and abandoned animals. 

Metro Parks is unable to rehabilitate wildlife, 

but there are some steps you can take. 

According to Metro Parks officials, if you 

find an animal in a park that is orphaned, 

abandoned, or injured, leave it alone and call 

the ranger cell number, posted on bulletin 

boards and around the park. Sometimes, 

babies are left alone while mom is looking 

for food, and will return to the nest, other 

times they will require care or monitoring. 

Do not take them out of the park. 

If you find an animal in your yard, leave 

it be. Call the Ohio Wildlife Center 614- 

793-9453 and leave a message, or visit 

Groveport celebrates 175th 

Groveport will celebrate the 175th 

anniversary of its founding with special 

events on June 11 from 10 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. 

“There will be a self-guided tour starting 

at 10 a.m. featuring six different stops,” 

said Groveport Community Affairs 

Director Jessica Wyke. “At each stop participants 

will collect a postcard with historical 

information about that tour site. 

Collect all six postcards and get a free 

175th anniversary t-shirt.” 

The self-guided tour sites are: Ohio and 

Erie Canal Lock 22, located in Groveport 

Park 7370 Groveport Road; Historic School 

complex, located at 715 and 751 Main 

Street; the Log House, located in Heritage 

Park, 551 Wirt Road; Groveport Cemetery, 

located along Wirt Road by Heritage Park; 

Sharp’s Landing, located across from the 

Groveport Cemetery at 536 Wirt Road; and 

Groveport Town Hall, 648 Main St. 

Visitors can begin the self-guided tour at 

any of these sites. 

Wyke said two of the stops will have a 

special treat. 

“The Groveport Police Department will 

be grilling hotdogs at the Log House and 

Groveport Town Hall will be having an ice 

cream social,” said Wyke. “This is a completely 

free event, including the hotdogs 

and the ice cream social.” 

Groveport Town Hall will also host a 

reception starting at 1 p.m. in the second 

floor ballroom where Mayor Lance 

Westcamp will recognize past and present 

city administrators and city council members. 

“Members of the Groveport Madison 

Area Community Choir will kick off the 

reception with a skit highlighting the early 

history of Groveport,” said Wyke. 

Wyke said recognizing Groveport’s 

175th anniversary is important because it 

is an opportunity for the community to 

learn more about “Groveport’s rich history 

and proud heritage.” 

It’s a chance to celebrate our city, where 

we’ve been, where we are now, and where 

we’re heading,” said Wyke.

pets of the week 

Horus, 1, can usually 

be found hiding behind 

something. However, if 

you seek him out and 

give him a little encouragement, 

he comes out 

for the love. He loves 

attention too much to 

hide away forever. His 

markings are so unusual, 

you can’t mistake 

sweet Horus. If you are 

interested in adopting 

Horus, contact Colony 

Cats and Dogs. 

FYI: colonycats.org 

Chickadee is a sweet 

girl who likes treats and 

toys. This 2-year-old is 

a little selective when it 

comes to other felines 

so she may do best as 

the only cat. She is 

spayed and vaccinated. 

Chickadee is available 

for adoption 

through Colony Cats 

and Dogs. 

FYI: colonycats.org 

Scamp is the pup that never stops smiling. 

He loves the great outdoors and is ready to 

love you too. At just 1-year-old, he is the life of 

the party, loves to play and is always down for 

a round of fetch. Scamp 

has done well with other 

dogs and is a huge fan 

of splashing through 

puddles. He would 

make for a great hiking 

partner and adventure 

buddy. Adopt him at the 

Franklin County Dog 

Shelter. 

FYI: franklincountydogs.com 

Sassy is sweet and 

sassy. She knows the 

sit, down, stay, and 

shake commands. She 

rides great in the car, 

making her the perfect 

co-pilot for long road 

trips, and is quite the 

determined diva. Sassy 

is more of a people 

pleaser and will need to be the only dog in the 

home. If you like to get out and explore the 

world, and never say no to an adventure, 

Sassy is your girl. 

FYI: franklincountydogs.com 

These furry friends are 

available for adoption 

at local rescues and 

shelters.
