.1 ,3 tr Communitiesobituaries i 7 1 By Barb Brucker Ma News Journal MANSFIELD From all indications at Mondays City Council caucus, the Glenwood-Parkwood Boulevard Association's signs will stay up; but the neighborhood's current R-2 residential zoning may be headed for what residents will consider a welcome tumble. It was, as association member Robert Kahn quipped, "Glenwood-PEtrkwood night" at the caucus with the agenda sporting a proposal sponsored by the association to rezone a broad area from R2 residential to R-I residential, and a separate measure granting the group a variance for signs erected last month at entrances to the boulevards. Kahn, who co-chairs the association's rezoning committee, told council members that the rezoning proposal grew out of informal discussions that have spanned the last few years. He also emphasized that the request is not aimed at stopping any particular project. Instead, the group has billed the project as an attempt to preserve the residential character of the neighborhood before it is faced with any specific threat.

The area involved is roughly bounded by Bartley Avenue, the rear property lines of lots on the south side of Park Avenue West, the rear property lines of lots on the west side of Shady Lane and Maple Street 1 1 council is scheduled for Jan. 5, after which council can take final action on the rezoning request. Also relating to the Glenwood-Parkwood Boulevard Association is legislation sponsored by 3rd Ward Councilman David Dalton to grant the group a variance for signs erected at the entrances to the boulevards. The city's codes and permits department determined that the signs violate the city's sign ordinance on several counts. But Davis and Charles Riley, association president, both appealed to the city to waive the requirements.

Dalton also asked his fellow council members to vote in favor of his legislation. Also at the caucus, residents of the Shady Lane area turned out to protest a proposal to rezone from R-2 residential to B-2 business a lot at 825 Park Avenue West for use as an antiques and crafts shop. Residents complained that the business would create traffic and safety problems on their street, and would threaten the residential nature of their neighborhood. But Charles Koehler, one of the prospective buyers for the property, said he thinks there are alternatives that might satisfy both the buyers and the neighbors. That rezoning request and another measure that would grant a legislative variance for 92 Gibson Ave.

WILLARD A ribbon-cutting ceremony for the opening of a new Plymouth-Willard waterline, scheduled for Friday, has been canceled and will be held at a later date. The work on the line is not completed, according to information given to City Council Monday night.

Still to be done are electric work and installation of automatic controls at the pumping station on Ohio 61 just north of Plymouth. The ceremony is tentatively planned for the latter part of this month. Letters are being sent out today asking residents along the new line to sign up to pay Willard water rates. Persons living outside the Willard city limits who tap into the new line must pay double the regular city water rate. Council held a public hearing on a rezoning question on Oct.

27. But it was unsuccessful, councilmen said, because of a lack of attendance. Councilmen want to change the designation of property on Front Street from residential to business-commercial. Councilman Roderick Shininger and Council President Wade Eden talked with some of the residents about that lack of attendance. They said the answers from some were "Why go?" and "Council will do what it wants to do anyway." Shininger said he felt residents concerned were confused and did not understand what the purpose of the public 1 1 Originally, the south side of Park Avenue West was included in the association's proposal, but was excluded for reasons including that the street is classed as a major thoroughfare, with an overlay zoning district that is more permissive.

In addition, Kahn said, the group decided that asking for an R-I residential classification for that portion of Park Avenue would amount to "legal fiction" since so many of the properties lining the avenue already are being used commercially. But he stressed that the GlenwoodParkwood Boulevard Association remains "very concerned" about the future, of Park Avenue West, which Kahn said is "being eaten up, more or less a block at a time" by commercial development. Also speaking in favor of the rezoning proposal was Jack Davis, past president of the association, who said the group wants to protect what he called the "unique" neighborhood. Members of the association reportedly have collected more than 400 signatures from residents who support the rezoning proposals. The Glenwood-Parkwood plan also has been endorsed by cotmcil's zoning committee.

If council agrees, the rezoning proposal next will be forwarded to the city planning commission for a formal recommendation. A public hearing before meeting was. One of those citizens, Edna Metcalf of 20 Front Street, reportedly told Eden she was concerned that council would use the eminent domain law to force her to sell her home. Shininger and Councilman George Gaich offered to go door to door in the Front Street area to explain the zoning change and answer questions. Law Director David Harwood said it is mandated by city ordinance to have a second public bearing on the matter.

Council received a notice from the Ohio Department of Liquor Control concerning transferring a liquor permit from Lawsons to Lawson's G.B.A. Discount Drug Mart on Ohio 224 inside the city. Council approved the transfer of the liquor license by a vote of 5-1. The "no" vote came from Gaich, who said, "In my opinion it would ruin the store. think the store is a nice place and this will bring in undesirables.

A lot of young people frequent that place and I hate to see this happen."

Hammond will be named as recreation director and redeye the higher salary that goes with that title.

A joint Ohio-Senate conference committee meeting Monday agreed on 71 of 88 amendments to the House version of the budget but postponed decisions on major issues until later this week. Both the House-passed version and the Senate-passed version would bring the city schools $7,517,493 in 1982, an increase of $1.28 million over what the district received this year.

However, while the House version would up that amount to $9,113,189 in 1983, the Senate-passed budget would increase the funding to only $8,430,405 in the second year of the biennium. Mansfield City Schools Superintendent Barton Cromer said that he naturally favors the House version, but both budgets provide "inadequate" funding for the biennium and fail to ensure automatic adjustments for inflation over the years. Both versions "fail" as long-term solutions to state school funding problems, he said. The effects of the relatively liberal House version on other Richland County school districts follow. State funding allocations for 1981 are listed in parentheses, and the proposed 1982 and 1983 increases follow: Lerro's care for three months in early 1978 the doctor negligently failed to warn him of "the risks of the procedures and surgery performed upon him."
