Consequently, the Clark Oil station will get the variance for a canopy. 2) Sunset Memorial Park has put into full force and effect the ruling of the Board of Zoning Appeals which was to grant the right of Sunset Memorial to build a funeral chapel. TWO years ago, the Council had overruled the Board of Zoning Appeals ruling; however, this was done at a special meeting because Council was on vacation at the time. The Court of Appeals found that this should have been done at a regular meeting, which could not have been done since Council was on vacation. Accordingly, we will be filing this case with the Ohio Supreme Court. Finance Director Burns reported: 1) The budget hearing with the County Budget Commission has been scheduled for October 24. At that time, the budget that Council passed earlier this year will be formally established. 2) Tomorrow morning, will be meeting with the auditors to schedule the upcoming audit.
