Perrysville resident complains about zoning permits, annual car show is set for June
Perrysville Council Meeting
Monday May 2, 2022
KEY ACTION Perrysville Mayor Heather Mullinnex read five zoning law ordinances and a resident questioned an ongoing zoning-related ordinance.
DISCUSSION One ordinance was allowing an industrialized unit to be considered a living space, known as a "dwelling," though it has to be made into a house outside of village limits before moving in, Mullinnex said. Another was adding general regulations to industrialized housing such as minimum size and what types of structures are allowed.
These ordinances were the first reading, meaning it'll need to be read two more times before it goes to a council vote.

With a notebook and village complaint form in hand, Perrysville resident Jennifer Long told the story of the village zoning inspector at the time, David Artrip Sr., arriving at her property with an Ashland County Sheriff's Office deputy twice due to an alleged zoning violation.
Long said Artrip Sr. told her she was violating zoning laws, specifically a "construction accessory structure" that lasts three months.
She has a temporary car tent at her residency, which requires a permit, said Long, who now lives at a different address. Long said she paid for the permit and it runs from November 2021 to November 2022.
Long put up a car canopy on Bridge Street, then moved to Walnut Alley, according to Artrip Sr., noting the permit is not for the Walnut address, it's for the Bridge Street address.
Mullinnex said she'd have to look at the ordinance before commenting on the matter. The complaint was given to Mullinnex after the discussion.
