Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Perrysburg public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
City-Township Growth Areas and the 99-Year Agreement
Residents questioned why township land appears in Perrysburg's plan. Officials cited the decades-old 99-year agreement making the west side of I-75 the city's primary growth area, with the east side left to township or voluntary owner-initiated annexation.
Growth of Perrysburg residential subdivisions
The 102-lot single-family, 96 villa-lot, 86 attached-villa PUD near the high school moved forward with final plat approval for its first 31 lots.
Edward Jones storefront improvements at 12855 Eckel Junction Road
Edward Jones wants to update the exterior storefront at its Southpoint Business Park office, and the architectural review committee weighs in on whether the design fits the park's standards. These reviews keep the business park looking consistent but can add a step for property owners before work begins.
Southern corridor industrial land use plan
A one-page addition to the land use plan would designate land between Route 25 and I-75 for industrial development, helping landowners seeking to annex and market property to businesses without a rezoning delay.
Rotary Community Park grant pursuit
Rotary raised $140,000 but the $850,000 project needed help: a state beacon grant cut ~$300,000, $200,000 is in the 2027 budget, and a $500,000 Meta grant application is pending.
Historic window replacement at 3 Locust Street
The Leininger family is updating their 1934 home with new windows, wider front steps, and a wood exterior door. Commissioners urged them to salvage the home's valuable 1930s leaded glass windows rather than discard them.
Taylor Hyundai dealership site on Roachton Road
A new car dealership is moving forward with a parking lot in the required front yard of an awkwardly shaped corner lot, screened by landscaping and a masonry wall.
New single-family home at 455 Mulberry Street
A longtime resident is tearing down his aging house and building a new one, needing a six-foot setback exception to keep backyard green space. Neighbors raised no objections.
Relocation of municipal services to former Mercy Health site
The city wants to rezone 6.22 acres it bought from Mercy Health so municipal services and Public Utilities can expand there. The commission recommended approval; council hears it October 6.
Ace Hardware site plan at 1175 Louisiana Avenue
A preliminary and final site plan for a new Ace Hardware at 1175 Louisiana Avenue was on the commission's agenda. The project would bring new retail development to the Louisiana Avenue corridor, though no outcome is yet confirmed.
Perrysburg Learning Center exterior improvements
The Learning Center at 7010 Lighthouse Way is getting new signage and storefront upgrades, but committee members flagged construction-site conditions and non-conforming materials. Owners must repair the facade, use EIFS per deed restrictions, and replace a residential-style rear door.
Harbor Town South (Phase 1) setback amendment
Buildings in the first phase of Harbor Town South will shift closer to Lighthouse Way, as the city required, while staying outside the easement.
Coventry Pointe Plat 7 final plat
A resident asked the city to look into the unsafe pedestrian crossing at the Coventry development entrance near the high school (50 mph road, lots of kids), saying his service request went unanswered. He also asked council to oppose expanding or renewing Flock license plate cameras.
Perrysburg Square annexation condition
The Dixie Highway shopping center site plan was approved, but only if all six parcels — three still in the township — finish annexing into the city and combine into one parcel.
New two-family residences on former 500 Sandusky Street parcels
A developer's two duplexes will share a single driveway off the rear alley, right on the property line. Several East Sixth Street neighbors say the alley already handles heavy pedestrian, bike, and vehicle traffic and worry new driveway loads will make it worse.
Phoenix Temple Company site plan at 590 E. South Boundary Street
A preliminary and final site plan review for a proposed project at 590 E. South Boundary Street was on the agenda. Site plan approval shapes what gets built there and how it fits the street.
Potential property purchase
Council met behind closed doors to discuss buying property for public purposes. No details or action were announced.
Lincoln Properties annexation
Three parcels along Lincoln Boulevard and Route 25 (the old social restaurant site) are now part of the city, and the Krise Property Group annexation area got permanent light industrial zoning. This shapes what can be built along the Fort Meigs Road corridor.
Perrysburg Senior Lofts site plan changes
Pivotal Development LLC brought a final site plan for a senior housing project on West Sixth Street before the commission. The outcome shapes what housing options will be available to Perrysburg seniors near downtown.
Krise Property Group annexation, 25851 Fort Meigs Road
Perrysburg Lincoln Properties LLC wants three parcels at the former Social Restaurant site annexed into the city. The committee recommended it move to City Council.
