Middlefield’s Heritage Pointe Plans Revealed
By Ann WishArt Ann@kArlovecmediA com
Middlefield Village Planning and Zoning Commission members kicked off the new year Jan. 7 with positive comments about a devel opment plan for more than 200 homes.
Plans were displayed during the meeting for 209 parcels in Heritage Pointe at 15136 Lake Avenue.
Three contiguous parcels south of the Walmart Superstore add up to more than 80 acres. Mostly con sisting of fields and woods, they are owned by Lake Avenue Land Part ners LTD.
David Zook, of Bristolville, managing member of LALP, sat with Chardon developer Joe Svete during the meeting while the devel oper explained the LALP plans.
The residential planned urban development will be broken up into five or six phases, Svete said.
Phase one will consist of 40 houses with a density of about 2.6 homes per acre. The structures will be similar to homes in the Woodsong development to the west, he said.
“I’m not saying we are going to build with Ryan (Homes). There may be other national builders interested,” Svete said, adding the partners hope to break ground in the spring.

“Optimistically, we will sell 30 (homes) per year,” he said, noting the incremental increase in housing should not have a significant

County Treasurer Extends First Half Real Estate Tax Bill Due Date
stAff report
Geauga County taxpayers will have until Feb. 26, 2025, to pay their first-half 2024 real estate tax bill.
“Taxpayers deserve to be given as much notice as possible to plan payment of one of the largest bills they receive every year, their real estate tax bill,” Geauga County Treasurer Christopher P. Hitchcock said in a Jan. 16 press release.“As the tax bill mailing depends on numerous factors outside our control, I have already asked the Ohio Department of Taxation and received permission to extend the tax collection due date to Feb. 26, 2025.”
Amended tax rates due to the dissolution of Aquilla Village and the absorption of those parcels to Claridon Township were received and certified Jan. 15, Hitchcock said.
“While we strive to send bills earlier in the year, we are bound to the Ohio Revised Code and the Ohio Department of Taxation,” he added.
tax bills will be available on the county website, www. geaugatax.com, or by calling or coming to the treasurer’s office, the release stated.
Amended files were sent to the printer Jan. 16 and bills should be mailed sometime in the next 10 days, the release said.
For those who cannot wait to receive their bill in the mail, upon certification, duplicate
Payment may be made in cash, money order, check or credit card by calling 1-855782-3909 or visiting www.geaugatax.com. There is a convenience fee for using the credit card service.

The development’s streets will all have sidewalks on both sides and he proposed the wetland areas will be good sites for walking trails.
The homes will be priced around $400,000 and should attract families to the village, Svete said.
“We need more young people. The village should do whatever it can to encourage young people,” he said. “If you don’t have young people coming in, the village dies.”

Faith Matters No Laughing Matter
The story of Abraham and Sarah is a really good one. God promised them a baby boy, a descendent through whom God’s purposes would be fulfilled.
At that time, Abraham was 75 years old. After waiting for over a decade, Sarah was still childless. Consequently, she suggested to Abraham that he be intimate with her maidservant, Hagar. It was their attempt to “help” God get on with the plan. After all, both Abraham and Sarah were getting to the point where having a baby was not likely to happen.
As a result, Hagar gave birth to Ishmael. Problem solved, so it seemed. However, God’s intention was still for Sarah to be his chosen instrument, not Hagar. So, when God reiterated His promise 14 years later, at age 99, Abraham laughed. Sarah was now 90, and it just didn’t seem feasible. Abraham proposed that God please just work through Ishmael.
ance, character and hope. Times of waiting are not fun, but we can experience real spiritual growth.
I prayed for my brother Don to come to faith in Jesus for over 50 years. A year or so before he died, he was baptized, a public declaration of God’s good work in his heart.
By Roger Kruse
Another point of application might me that “God is in control, and we are not.” We feel vulnerable when things don’t change fast enough. Consequently, we try to take things into our own hands. Sometimes, we need to just “Let go, and let God.” Even our salvation is not the result of our own efforts or good works. Rather, it is God’s gift to you, based on Jesus’ sacrifice and death on the Cross. He took your place. It is only by the grace of God that anyone can be saved. We receive that greatest of all gifts, by faith.
Stay Warm this Winter with HEAP Help
Assistance is available to Geauga County residents to help with their home energy bills.
The Home Energy Assistance Program (HEAP) helps Ohioans at or below 175% of the federal poverty guidelines pay their heating bills. In addition to HEAP, Ohioans who are threatened with disconnection, have been disconnected from their utility service, transferring service, establishing new services, at or below 25% bulk fuel may be eligible for the HEAP Winter Crisis Program (WCP).
Geauga residents may apply for the WCP through Geauga County Job and Family Services by calling 440-285-1299. Application for the WCP is by telephone interview only and appointments are currently being scheduled.
Ohioans can visit energyhelp.ohio.gov to apply for the HEAP program online, download a copy of the application or find contact information for a local Energy Assistance Provider. Individuals will need to have copies of the following documents to include with their application:
Most recent utility bills
A list of all household members, birthdates, and Social Security numbers
Proof of income for the past 30 days for all household members
Proof of citizenship or legal residency for all household members
Proof of disability, if applicable
Regular HEAP benefits are applied to an individual’s energy bill after Jan. 1. If you need immediate assistance with your energy bill, please contact Geauga County Job and Family Services, 12611 Ravenwood Drive, Suite 150, Chardon, at 440-285-9141.
The Lord then got more specific and promised within a year, Sarah would give birth to a son to be named Isaac. This was followed up with another visitation of the Lord (with two angels) who said the very same thing. Now, it was Sarah’s turn to laugh. At that point, God asked Abraham, “Is anything too hard for the Lord?” Think about that next time you find yourself in a hard place, needing divine help.
Of course, one year later, Isaac (which means, “he laughs”) was born. Abraham was 100 years old, and God had the last laugh.
What are the takeaways for you and for me? First, we must “be patient waiting for God to work.” His timetable is not ours. Nevertheless, the Bible tells us it’s OK to keep asking, as long as we keep the faith. God never stops working behind the scenes. At the appointed time, things will happen. In the meantime, don’t stop trusting the Lord. He is also working in you to produce persever-
The third takeaway is the “miracle working power” of God. It is often mysterious, unexpected, amazing and, yes, even laughable. God can do anything. Nothing is impossible with our Creator. He invites you and me to boldly ask, yet maintain a submission to His will and purposes. The Bible tells us that “in all things God works for the good of those who love Him.” Not that all things are good. Rather, that God Himself is good, and He is able to weave the hardships, disappointments and “delays” of this life into a beautiful tapestry accented by His great love.
The Bible contains well over 7,000 promises given by God to His children. Go ahead and discover for yourself how the Lord can work when you trust Him to do what he said He would. It may or may not be a laughing matter.
Roger Kruse’s wife Glenda gave birth to their daughter, Emily, at age 43. Not quite a miracle like Sarah and Abraham, but surely a great blessing!
Middlefield Village Planning Commission Tentatively OKs Smallwood Subdivision
By Ann WishArt Ann@kArlovecmediA com
Plans for the Smallwood subdivision on South State Avenue were approved at the Middlefield Village Planning and Zoning Commission meeting Jan. 7, contingent on sewer easements and an okay from the Geauga Soil and Water Conservation District.
Zoning Inspector John Boksansky said River Oaks Development Co. was applying to the commission for approval in advance of the two contingencies in order to move forward quickly once the easements and a positive GSWCD report are filed.
Commission member Dave Dietrich said the sanitary sewer proposed for Smallwood is a concern.
“There’s a hill,” he noted.
Sewers on the east side of the hill will flow toward South State and not need an easement, he said, adding the lines on the west side will need to flow through privately-owned properties to lines on Kenwood Drive, which will require easements.
Doug Courtney, owner of C.W. Courtney Co., said he is preparing the legal descriptions for those easements, but acquisition from property owners is uncertain.
Developer Dennis Ibold, of Chardon, said he originally approached the property owners years ago before the economy collapsed.
At the time, they were agreeable, but their price was high, he said.
“We don’t want a pump station,” said commission Chair Scott Klein.
Lacking easements, the line would need a pumping station to move the sewage up the hill so it could flow to the South State line, he said.
Ibold was in agreement.
“We’d like to avoid a pump station,” he said, noting the cost of an easement might make the project unaffordable.
Dietrich said he’d like to see some stormwater details.
“I’d like to see you plot a baseline for a 100-year storm,” he said.
Ibold said two basins are included in the plan and the county has approved one.
Boksansky said River Oaks is proposing 16 of the 23 homes on the 13-acre parcel be approved as R-1 and seven be approved as R-2.
Klein asked if the R-2 homes could include apartments, but Ibold said the deed restrictions would not allow that and they would be enforced by the homeowners association.
The River Oaks parcel backs up to residential properties located to the north and west, according to the Geauga County Auditor’s Office website.
The Old State Road Properties LLC owns several industrial parcels to the south.
