The Geauga Record
Chardon, Ohio
To the Editor:
Because of the recent irres-
ponSible reporting of the pro-
posed Comprehensive L and
Use Plan for Geauga county,
the League Of Women Voters
of Geauga county wishes to
present the following facts
which we feel have not been
covered:
/. The Industrial Park pro-
posed for the Comfy is only
one part of a countrywide
plan.
2. Contrary to reports there
has been no secrecy attend
ent upon the development
plan. All Planning Commits
sion meetings are open to
the public. The League of
Women Voters regularly
sends an observer.
3. The proposed Comprehen
Sive Land Use Plan was
presented at a public meet
ing at the Chardon Court
House last August. Full
coverage, including publ
cation of the map together
with five Of the proposed
land use areas of the county
appeared in The Geauga
Record, The Geauga Times
Leader, The Chagrin Valley
Herald, and The Cleveland
Press.
4. The proposed plan is now
in the process of public dis
cuSSion. Public meetings
have and are being held as
has been the procedure in
the past with the accept
ance of the Thoroughfare
Plan and the County Land
Subdivision Plan.
5. The legal procedure set
forth in the Ohio State Code
revised for county planning
must be followed by an Of
ficial planning commission.
Any and all decisions al
ways are subject to review
Of the county prosecutor.
6. This is 20 year project
ion of growth for the county
and not something that will
spring into being overnight.
In county proud of it's nat
ural beauty, our Planning
Commission inSureS within
legal bounds that our growth
will be free from reckless
land and subdivision devel-
opment. Geauga County has
now entered a period of rapid
growth. Whether the develop
ment will take palce hit or
miss with conflicting land u.s.
eS creating more and more
problems or whether growth
can proceed in an orderly
balanced fashion protecting
the b t features of our
county are the questions Ge-
auga residents must consid-
er.
Insufficient financing is an
other aspect of rapid growth.
How can We educate the spir-
alllng n u m b erS of school
children and provide for more
local government services on
a limited county budget? We
need industry. Rather than
have it scattered through the
county, the development of an
Industrial Park where water,
good roads, and other SerVic-
eS would be available in one
package, seems to many OF
us to be preferable.
The League of Women Vot.
ers is proud of the construc.
tive effort being put forth by

AN OPEN LETTER TO THE
GEAUGA COUNTY COM
MISSIONERS
Dear Sirs;
Following the c Ia r i d o n
Township meeting on Friday
evening, March 9, 1862 con-
cerning the proposed land =
use progr m for Geauge
County, The S o C a Action
Committee of the First Con-
gregational church of Clari-
don held an open meeting to
discuss the church'S concern
in this problem. A group OF
thirty interested church
members were in attendance.
The tone of the meeting was
one of deep Christian concern
for the future of the church
and its people, the residents
of the community as a whole,
and the effect of the Lister
plan upon Geauga County.
It was the concensus of this
meeting that a letter be pre-
pared by the Social Action
Committee to convey our feel
ingS to the County Commits
sioners and County Planning
Commission. They are as fol
lows:
/. We feel that the people o.
the County as a whole are not
adequately or correctly in
formed concerning the Lister
plan itself or it's implications
for them. For example, the
tax burden of this plan must
be borne by the residents OF
the county with no assurance
of immediate or even future
relief by appreciable indust-
rial development. (In 1850
Claridon'S share of County
taxes was $96,OO0.)
2. We understand that there
is a service available to all
counties in the State of Ohio
through Ohio State Univer-
sity which is designed to pro-
vide direction for b t I
County planning. This service
is available in our County
through the Extension Office
in Burton. We would like to
have this service inveStigat
ed.
8. We believe that there is (
serious moral issue involves
in eradicating any township
from existence with the nee
essary relocation of people
particularly the a G e d and
those with bare subsistence
incomes. This factor should
be given profound considera.
ton.
4. This plan fosters the
movement away from local
government which has unde.
mocratic implications. w c
feel that a metropolitan
County government, and a
. county wide school system
conceivable outgroWths Of
this plan, are not necessarily
in the best interest of the peo,
pie.
We are we'll aware of the
need for countrywide progress
through better county plan
ming. We understand also thai
individual sacrifices must be
made in order for progress tC
be realized and we StanC
ready to make these ,WheI
they seem wise. We are not
opposed to county planning =.
We commend the cunt J
Commissioners for their fore
sight and concern for the vel.
fare Of Geauga County. How
ever, we feel that the LiStej
Plan does not meet the needs
of this County.
