Weekly Wag

Dart is a young, handsome male with lots of energy. He is affectionate, eager to please and likes all the people he meets. He is also social with other dogs and cats, and he loves to play. Dart arrived at Ruff Start Rescue from one of the organization’s northern partners.

Dart is a German shepherd mix. He is just over a year old and weighs about 50 pounds. A home with a fenced yard isn’t required but would suit Dart well as he loves to run and explore. He also likes to go on walks and would do well with an active to semi-active family. Dart is very affectionate and likes to be around his people. He is house trained and knows his basic commands, but he is intelligent and easily trainable, especially when treats are involved.

Dart is anxiously waiting for a loving family with an active lifestyle that will welcome him and continue teaching him how to be the best boy he can be. If you are interested in learning more about Dart or adopting him, please fill out an application at www. ruffstartrescue.org. Once your application is received, Ruff Start Rescue will contact you as soon as possible.

Centerville Tidbits

• Guys and Dolls salon will still be coming to 1737 Main Street – it's just going to take a little longer, after the Centerville city council approved to extended the purchase agreement deadline into next year.

1. The new schedule expects work on the site to begin during the summer of 2024 and result in a single-story, 3,200 square-foot commercial space.

2. The deadline extension is needed to buy time for the Planning & Zoning Commission and the council to approve planning for the project.

3. The purchaser of the property, F & M Holdings, LLC, also requested a deadline extension to complete architectural changes. The city also needs time is to work on a grant from the county for environmental and geotechnical work. “This is the city's opportunity to show the buyer that we're interested in having them in the city and that they are showing good will to get things done,” Mayor D. Love said.

• The former Chef Hot Hands site could be redeveloped, after the city council approved an interim use permit for the developer, Propel Investments, LLC to change the site’s use from a catering business to a salon.

4.As part of a Planned Unit Development, the property owner is asking for five years to prepare the site and adjacent lots for redevelopment. In the interim, the site will be leased and used as a hair salon. The interim permit allows the business temporary operations on the site and provides the property owner with an opportunity to plan for the site's permanent redevelopment into a mixed-use building, if market conditions improve over the next few years. “This is about the practicalities of redevelopment,” City Attorney Kurt Glaser said.

“The market structure of the economy is part of it. The owner wants to put a substantial investment into the property and wants the luxury of time to put plans together – and they need to have a tenant there. They get a five-year grace period to use the property in its current form,” he said. The Planning & Zoning Commission recommended approval with the addition of a screening fence between the property and the trail.

• The council awarded the winning bid of $57,315 to L'Allier Concrete to replace a sidewalk, install a new sidewalk and install recycling pads at City Hall. City staff recommended adding 10% to the estimated total for unforseen contingencies.

• The city is still accepting volunteers to fill vacancies on its advisory boards. One open seat exists on the Parks & Recreation Committee, which meets at 6:30 p.m. on the first Wednesday of each month at City Hall. The Planning & Zoning Commission has two open seats and meets at 6:30 p.m. on the first Tuesday of each month at City Hall.

The council next meets at 6:30 p.m., Wednesday, July 12 at City Hall, 1880 Main St.
