Board approves multiple items at May 25 meeting

Union Township Board of Trustees approved multiple items at its May 25 meeting.

The meeting occurred at 7 p.m. at Union Township Hall.

One of the items approved was a first reading for the proposed request to rezone parcels 14-01320-043-02 and 14-013-20043-08 at 5785 E. Broadway Road from the B-4 (General Business) District to PUD (Planned Unit Development), which also includes the associated PUD Concept Plan for the Prestige Center Assisted Living Facility Expansion dated March 14, 2022.

The plans to expand the assisted living has been under considerations since the 80s and includes combining the current parcel 14-01320-043-02 and the larger vacant neighboring parcel 14-013-20-043-08 for development.

“The proposed development would include a complete renovation and modernization of the existing building space into a stateof-the-art memory care facility, construction of a new assisted living facility building that provides comprehensive services and support for elderly residents of the community, and provisions for indoor recreation facilities and outdoor open space areas for the residents,” an action request form from Township Manager Mark Stuhldreher said.

At a later meeting, a second reading and adoption may be approved.

A bid from Rite-way Asphalt in the amount of $38,331 for the repair of the lower parking lot located at the Township Hall was also approved at the meeting.

The scope of service includes pulverizing approximately 16,246 square feet of existing asphalt, fine grade and compact, hauling away any excess material, placing 1.5” No 13A bituminous leveling course of asphalt (not including approximately 13’ along Lincoln Road), applying SSI-H bond coat, placing 1.5” No. 13 A bituminous wearing course of asphalt (not including approximately 13’ along Lincoln Road) and restriping the parking lot.

“It is recommended that due to the current condition the existing lower parking lot be pulverized, graded, and replaced with new three-inch bituminous asphalt to improve safety and allow for the installation of sidewalks along Lincoln Road in front of the Township Hall,” an action request form from Public Services Director Kim Smith said. “Union Township has used Rite-way Asphalt in the past and has been pleased with the quality of their work and performance.”
