Twinsburg City Council on April 28 approved several measures, adopting a resolution to hire a consultant for an amphitheater renovation and moving forward on local land‑use and procedural items.
The council adopted Resolution 20 26 46, authorizing the mayor to enter into a professional‑services contract with Richard L. Bowen and Associates for services related to an amphitheater renovation. The resolution was moved, seconded and approved by roll call, 6–0.
In other formal actions, the council voted to waive a 30‑day notification period for a Board of Zoning Appeals decision. Mr. Estill read the motion on behalf of the BZA and described the variance appeal, saying, “The motion is to waive the 30 day notification period as authorized in charter section 7.1 for the BZA’s decision to approve an appeal for a variance in case number 02Dash2, 026.” The council approved the waiver 6–0. The item as read included multiple setback variances (front parking‑lot setback 50 feet for parcel A; a 63.3‑foot front building setback for parcel A; and a 13.05‑foot rear building setback for parcel B).
Councilmembers also approved a conditional‑use permit for The New Level, a wrestling training facility proposed at 8252 Darrow Road, Unit 1 in an Innovation and Manufacturing zone. The Planning Commission recommended approval at its April 20 meeting; the council moved, seconded and approved the permit by voice/roll call 6–0.
Finally, the council moved to excuse Mr. Fury from the evening’s meeting; the motion carried 6–0.
Several ordinances and resolutions were placed on their second or first readings (Ordinances 20 26 63, 64 and 66 on second reading; Resolutions 20 26 67 and 20 26 68 on first reading) and were not voted on at the meeting.
