Development proposed along Route 310 By MICHAEL J. MAURER ThisWeek Community Newspapers The Etna Township zoning commission has begun to evaluate a “planned mixed-use development” on 86 acres along state Route 310. “It’s a pretty significant mixed-use development on one of our most significant thoroughfares,” said Chris Harkness, township zoning administrator. “It’s also sandwiched between two of our larger residential subdivisions, Cumberland Trail to the south and Cameron Chase to the northeast.” The proposal covers land both east and west of Route 310 and would require construction of access roads that eventually would require a traffic signal. A traffic estimate submitted with

the application states that current traffic on the roadway is more than 10,000 vehicle trips daily, and both right and left turn lanes would be required on any crossroad. Attorney Connie Klema, on behalf of JBW Properties LLC, submitted the application. The land is zoned for agricultural use. The proposal calls for retail development on the west of Route 310 and professional office development on the east of 310, with residential development to the rear of each. As submitted, the plans call for a connecting roadway to Cameron Chase that would allow for the residential developments to have access to each other but no connection to Cumberland Trail. Harkness said res-

idents of Cumberland Trail had expressed a preference not to connect to the new development, but that there were advantages and disadvantages to each choice. “They are thinking about connecting to Cameron Chase but not Cumberland Trail,” Harkness said. “From a planning perspective, a grid system with multiple connections has advantages over the collector road model that comes down to one street. If you want to go see someone else or go to the nursing home, or go to the retail, a connection means you don’t have to go to Route 310. I would view that connection as a positive, but a lot of people do not.” Harkness said the flexibility of planned-unit development is well suit-

ed for large parcels with varying uses. “Generally, PUD allows for development of larger sites, more often than not, and allows for non-uniform zoning regulations compared to standard zoning,” Harkness said. “In a PUD you can have different areas have different uses and be more site specific. It allows for a mixing of what might have been three or four different types of zoning, professional office, commercial use, multifamily and singlefamily residential and a nursing-care facility.” Most municipalities have PUD zoning, Harkness said, but townships are less common. Both developers and governments like the option because See RT. 310, page A2

The city of Pataskala’s consulting engineers have recommended that the city withhold $53,000 in payment for asphalt surfacing on Summit Road. “This project involved the ultimate goal of getting a drivable surface on Summit Road again,” city administrator Tim Boland said. “If you had driven that stretch of road after the spring, you knew that it was nearly impassable in some sections.” Soon after work was completed last year, however, the city’s review of the work done suggested that repairs would be necessary and payments for the work should be withheld, he said. “We’re very concerned about numerous deficiencies,” Boland said. “Quite honestly, we are extremely disappointed in the project to date. We want a road that meets the requirements and criteria set out in the contract and (contract specifications). I again reiterate that I have directed we make no payments of any kind associated with this project until we get things sorted out to our satisfaction and feel that we can report to council that this road is going to be corrected as soon as possible.” Adam Voris, consulting engineer from EMH&T, said the city had chosen a lowercost, in-place pulverization method of repairing the road, but that the final step in the process — repaving the surface — had failed. “We recommended a project that pulverized and stabilized the existing base in place, with a single piece of equipment,” Voris said. “That allowed a continuous op-

Newark City Council’s service committee will meet Dec. 10 to discuss submitting comments to the Ohio Department of Transportation about a proposed interchange project at state Route 16 and Cherry Valley Road. Following a public meeting in November, at which several alternatives for the intersection were discussed, ODOT officials said the preferred choice was the option designated alternative 5. The option calls for complete closure of the existing signalized interchange, which currently is the first traffic signal from I-270 in Columbus. Access would be provided via a new interchange about 2,000 feet to the east of Cherry Valley Road. ODOT specifically has requested that Newark comment on the proposed closure of the westbound exit ramp to Granville Road and whether the city would prefer a traffic signal or a roundabout at Cherry Valley Road and Raccoon Creek and at the Cherry Valley Lodge buildings, where the proposed interchange road would be constructed under the recommended alternative. The total project cost is estimated at $33- to $38-million. “From everybody I’ve talked to here, everyone agrees that alSee PROJECT, page A2

Teaching fellowship will send Pataskala first-graders to COSI By LISA AURAND ThisWeek Community Newspapers

A class of Pataskala Elementary School first-graders will get a trip to COSI later this month at no cost to the district. As part of teacher Janie Treinish’s Boeing teaching fellowship, 19 students will spend Jan. 27 at the hands-on COSI sci-

ence center. Treinish applied for the fellowship last spring. “Our principal had sent out an e-mail to the staff saying that COSI … had a fellowship available,” she said. Treinish, in her second year teaching after graduating from Ohio State University Newark, was awarded the fellowship,

which included teaching workshops over the summer at COSI on force and motion, as well as integrating science and literature. “I learned a ton from those workshops,” Treinish said. The science and literature workshop included suggestions of books with science-related themes. In the force and mo-

tion workshop, the teachers designed and flew paper airplanes. For Treinish, this was preparation for lessons she had cotaught with a COSI master educator in December. “The kids really loved it,” she said. The students made their own paper airplanes, flew them and then graphed their flight dis-

There have been discussions in the past but never any formal response to the idea. You hear things in the grocery store and that’s about it. Most of

of its flexibility. Under traditional straight zoning, requirements such as lot size and setbacks are clear and fixed and apply throughout the zoning area. In PUD zoning, requirements could be customized for various purposes and special conditions could be attached. Harkness said numerous meetings would be held before any project is approved. “I don’t see it taking any less than a few months,” Harkness said. “We had Wednesday’s meeting, and it’s scheduled for next month, too. It could be as much as six months.” Harkness said the applicants were not likely to develop the property directly, but would instead market the property to other developers after the zoning is approved.

eration to stabilize the base that is under the road now, which is completely insufficient. It’s very thin and has poor drainage.” The alternative would have been a complete excavation and reconstruction, which would have required significantly more time and effort and would have cost several million dollars, Voris said. He said the contractor has a good reputation and that the paving failure was a difficult one to evaluate at the time of construction. “Our very most senior inspectors and experienced inspectors may have noticed the segregation in the mix as it was being placed,” Voris said. “To be fair, I would not have. I’m a licensed engineer and would probably not have noticed it myself. When that becomes apparent is not when it comes out of the screed, but when it’s rolled. There are numerous things you

I’m not sure what council’s view is yet, on the longterm perspective.” From a planning perspective, roundabouts usually are the preferred choice, Morehead said. “I like them,” he said. “The positive aspects seem to outweigh the negative aspects.

won’t know until it’s rolled, namely the texture of the asphalt and the cross section, which is one of the major deficiencies (in the work).” City law director Rufus Hurst questioned whether any payment should be made, but Voris said the substrate work, which involved adding cement to the pulverized base, was sound. In other business, council voted unanimously to proceed with The Oaks subdivision sewer project, accepting the efforts of most of the affected residents of the subdivision to submit the necessary legal documents to proceed with work. Although a few residents likely would be unable to execute some of the documents because of foreclosures and other circumstances, Hurst said, the great majority had done everything that could be expected. “Let’s get the show on the road,” Hurst said.

In addition to viewing the museum’s regular exhibits, the students will participate in another science workshop — this one on magnets. The original workshop, in which the students would construct their own rollercoaster, was a little too complicated for the firstgraders, Treinish said. “The magnets are more to their level,” she said. “We’re looking forward to that.”

Donations may be dropped off at the museum during normal hours of operation. Cash donations also are appreciated, since shipping costs are about $11 per care package. Checks should be made out to: Thrivent Financial for Lutherans and mailed to Julianna R. Porter, treasurer, at 2071 Valentine Lane, Newark 43055. Write “Support Our Troops 2011” on the checks. The donations will be assembled into care packages beginning at 5 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 19. Community volunteers are welcome to help sort and pack packages, as well as write personal notes to the recipients. The Works, in partnership with Thrivent Financial for Lutherans, will mail them to U.S. military men and women serving overseas. Since the drive began five years ago, more than 5,000 packages have been shipped to active duty military members. Many military families are struggling to make ends meet at home while their spouses are deployed. To assist them, gift card donations to stores such as Walmart, Meijer, Giant Eagle and Kroger are appreciated. These donations will be distributed to qualifying families by the Ohio National Guard State Family Readiness Program. When choosing items for care

Dad-daughter dance to benefit YMCA

Midland With arts grant, NGSO to play Holst Thanks to support from PNC Arts Alive, the Newark Granville Symphony Orchestra is collaborating with the Midland Theatre to create a multi-media performance of Holst’s “The Planets.” Titled “Voyage of Discovery,” the performance is scheduled for 7 p.m. on Sunday, Feb. 27, and again at 10 a.m. on Monday, Feb. 28, as part of the Virtual Music Workshop. According to a news release from the Midland, NASA images from the Mars Rover, Hubble Space Telescope and past probe missions Magellan, Voyager and Galileo “will provide stunning visual canvas images” as music director Timothy Weiss conducts. Narration, including interviews with scientific experts, will be integrated into the performance. PNC Arts Alive is a three-year, $1.5-million initiative from the PNC Foundation that supports visual and performing arts groups in order to increase arts access and engagement in new, creative ways. Only 13 arts organizations in the central Ohio were selected. Concert tickets are $25 general admission and $5 for students. Tickets are $4 for NGSO’s Voyage of Discovery (Virtual Music Workshop) for students. To purchase tickets, call (740) 345-5483, visit www.midlandtheatre.org or go to the box office at 36 N. Park Place. For more information, visit www.pncartsalive.com or www.ngsymphony.org.

Sadly, we often hear some good questions and suggestions after all of this is finished instead of during the period that it could positively affect the proposed changes. On Tuesday, Jan 18, the Pataskala Area Chamber of Commerce will host a very important meeting at its noon meeting at Old Summit Town. Dianne Harris, Pataskala planning director, and Don Smiley, citizen member of the planning commission, will outline the city’s proposed changes to the current sign code. They will request your input and that of other members of the business community. I encourage the full participation and attendance of businesses in the community because the results of these changes (or missed opportunities) will drive our sign code for years. Businesses in the community should contact the city zoning office. A copy of this proposed sign code is online at www.ci.pataskala.oh.us.

Please read it and plan on attending the Jan 18 chamber meeting, and certainly provide your feedback to ensure we get this sign code a bit more business friendly. The last step in this process is a vote by city council. As always it is important that you let your elected leaders know your feel-

ings. It is expected that council will hold a public hearing on the proposed changes sometime in February, and this date will be published on the city’s website and in the local media. Steve Butcher Mayor Pataskala

Watkins Memorial Roundup

Nickel adjusting to role as point guard By KURTIS ADAMS ThisWeek Community Newspapers

The Watkins Memorial High School girls basketball team’s mood remains upbeat despite a frustrating first half of the season. “We’re staying positive, absolutely,” sophomore guard Melinda “Lou” Nickel said after last Monday’s 4845 overtime loss at Mount Vernon. “We just keep thinking the next game could be the one that turns things around for us.”

Coach Kyle Oyster, whose team was 0-10 overall and 0-6 in the OCCCapital Division before playing Franklin Heights last Friday, said there are plenty of reasons for the Warriors to remain optimistic. “We’ve improved in every single statistical category (compared with last year),” he said. “We haven’t gotten the results we’re looking for yet, but we’re confident that day is coming. “Our shooting (percentage) is up. Our rebounding, especially at the offensive end, is better. And our free-

throw shooting (percentage) is very much improved, up from about 45 percent last year to 61 percent now. In fact, our free-throw shooting has kept us in a lot of games.” Injuries have taken a toll, however. Senior point guard Kim Coyle has missed the past three games after she injured an ankle during the fourth quarter of a 40-29 setback against Fairfield Union on Dec. 29. Coyle, who was averaging 8.5 points, may be sidelined another two weeks, Oyster said. Fortunately, Nickel has stepped into

that role for now and the added responsibilities haven’t hurt her offensively. She led the team in scoring at 12 points per game entering last Friday, and she enjoyed a career-high 31point night when the Warriors lost to Beechcroft 93-90 in five overtimes on Dec. 20. “It’s very hard balancing everything,” Nickel said. “I’m always looking for the open person, but I know there are times when I’m the one that has to take it to the basket, too. “I’m not really used to bringing the

ball up so much, but I’m getting some help from Kayla (Zellers) and Randi (Casto), too. It’s coming, but I think we’ll all be happy when Kim makes it back.” Oyster said Nickel, who also was last year’s leading scorer at 9.9 points per game, has adapted well. In her first two games running the offense full time, she scored 12 points in a 49-29 loss to Lakewood on Dec. 30 and had 10 in last Monday’s setback. See WARRIORS, page A8

The Warriors play three games in five days beginning Tuesday at home against Licking Heights.

The Granville Village Council is accepting applications from village residents interested in serving on the village’s Charter Review Commission. The village charter provides for a review every 10 years by a commission of seven electors appointed by the village council. The seven citizens may hold no other public office or appointment and may not be employed by the village. The Charter Review Commission studies the charter and makes a report to the Village Council of recommended revisions or amendments, if any. The report must be made within six months of the commission’s formation. Commission members determine how often they will meet. Citizens interested in applying for a seat on the CRC may submit an application, a letter of interest and a resume to village clerk Mollie Prasher, 141 E. Broadway, P.O. Box 514, Granville. The CRC application is available online at www.granville.oh.us or at the village office, 141 E. Broadway. For more information, contact Prasher at (740) 5870707 or e-mail mprasher@granville.oh.us. The deadline for submitting an application is Wednesday, Jan. 12. CRC appointments will be made in January.

Kimberly Miles has opened Gallery of Dreams at 37 N. Third St. on the square in downtown Newark. The art gallery features jewelry, paintings, furniture, and other furnishings. Miles is a painter and designer. For more information, call (740) 670-0882.
