Home builders seek Seneca zoning changes

Seneca planning commissioners cast two votes last night on re-zoning applications. Only one of them was conclusive. In a 3 to 2 vote, the planning commissioners recommended an R-15 zone for ES 6th, S. Walnut, and S. Cherry properties for which Josh Thomas is considering building single-family homes. Earlier last night the commission deadlocked 2-2-1 (with one abstention) on a request by Season’s Builders of West Union for a planned development residential zone that would allow about 30 small homes on about four aces at ES 7th and S. Townville. Three neighbors mounted strong opposition to this request, and more on these re-zoning votes can be heard today on 101.7/WGOG NEWS.
