Time:                 6:00 pm

Location:           5181 Northwest Parkway, Hilliard, OH 43026

Meet with the City about the rezoning of Wolpert property Davidson Rd.
Prior to this rezoning going to Council, David Meadows, our Economic Development Director and I would like to find a time to meet with the residents of Britton Farms and Carrington Place. We’d like to present the site layout and discuss the details of the proposed PUD.

Info from Michelle Crandall, Hilliard City Manager:
The Hilliard Development Corporation is starting the review process for the rezoning of the Woolpert Property from Rural Residential (R-R) to Planned Unit Development District (PUD) for the creation of an employment-based technology park with designated greenspace and trail connections. The City’s Planning & Zoning Commission will hear the case on November 14. After review by P&Z, their recommendation would be forwarded to Hilliard City Council for consideration and a final decision on the rezoning in either December or January.
Here is a link to the rezoning case before the Planning and Zoning Commission (Case #5) – Woolpert Property Rezoning . There are four attachments related to the case.
Prior to this rezoning going to Council, David Meadows, our Economic Development Director and I would like to find a time to meet with the residents of Britton Farms and Carrington Place. We’d like to present the site layout and discuss the details of the proposed PUD. We have taken into consideration adjacent residential areas by providing a significant open space/parkland buffer, which could also serve as an amenity and potential trail connection.

From:  Ed Kampbell, President / representing the elected Board of the BFHOA
Re:       4634 Strayer

The Board has directed me to provide the membership with notice of the planned use for the residence located at 4634 Strayer Drive (corner of Britton Farms Drive and Strayer Drive). This residence was recently purchased by Creative Housing to provide up to 4 adult special needs individuals with the opportunity to live on their own in a community of single family residences. The remodeling currently underway to make this happen has unfortunately sparked all kinds of speculation, rumors, and concerns due to the lack of any earlier communication with the Board by Creative Housing. To their defense, however, they are not required to serve us with any kind of notice in advance because this group of individuals are covered by the Fair Housing Act which prohibits housing discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, disability, familial status, or national origin. Its coverage includes private housing such as we have here in Britton Farms, and makes it unlawful for one to discriminate in any aspect of selling or renting housing or to deny a dwelling to a buyer or a renter because of the disability of that individual, or a group of individuals who intend to live in that residence.

The Board has further called for a Special Meeting of the HOA membership on Wednesday evening, August 3rd. This meeting will provide residents the opportunity to speak directly with Mr. Patrick Rafter, President of Creative Housing, to understand the non-profit organization he represents and the performance his organization has demonstrated with over 400 of these homes to date. He has also promised to bring along one or more of the parents who have children currently living in a Creative Housing property who will no doubt be able to articulate what these rental residences mean to the families of these individuals and the individuals themselves. Look for additional information to come as to the time and location of this informational meeting as soon as we have secured the location where it will be held.
