Cuyahoga Falls Councilwoman Appointed as Next Stow Clerk of Courts

Lisa Zeno Carano was replaced just days after the new year by a local leader you may know.

The Summit County Democratic Central Committee met on Tuesday to choose a new Stow Municipal Clerk of Courts, and their interim pick was none other than Cuyahoga Falls City Councilwoman Diana Colavecchio, reports the Stow Sentry.  Stow Mayor Sara Drew swore Colavecchi in during a ceremony at Cuyahoga Falls High School Tuesday night. Colavecchio, a local attorney, will serve as clerk in Stow Municipal Court until November. At which point, the unexpired term will go on the ballot, and will once again be up for grabs.  She will replace Lisa Zeno Carano, who resigned as clerk on Dec. 31.  Zeno Carano is now working with the Summit County Court of Common Pleas Probate Division as a court administrator.

Joe's Auto Owner Pumps the Brakes on Development Plan

It appears there's been a miscommunication between owner Vince Bowen and the Cuyahoga Falls Planning Commission over future plans for the car repair/tow business.

The proposed Joe's Auto development plan might be taking a detour. Earlier this week, the Stow Sentry reported Vince Bowen, owner of Joe's Auto, intended to move his car repair and tow business to 488 E. Steels Corners Rd. in Cuyahoga Falls from its existing location at 3679 Darrow Rd. in Stow. Planning and Zoning Director Fred Guerra and the Cuyahoga Falls Planning Commission were under the same impression as Bowen's plan called for a new 2,800-square-foot building and 11,000-square-foot impound lot at the 1.813-acre Falls site. The Steels Corners parcel, zoned E-1 Employment, appeared to be the ideal site as it allows for auto repair, and can include the use of a tow/impound lot after a conditional zoning permit has been issued. At its …

Tell them you want to put it at Portage Crossing. They seem to be approving ANY idea to get that thing going. Then, once you submit your idea for appearance, build it but change it, like another reconstruction site did further down State Rd. It'll only be a hand slap penalty at most.   more ›

Joe's Auto Plans to Relocate in Cuyahoga Falls

The Stow car repair and towing shop will likely pick up and move to Cuyahoga Falls to expand its business.

Customers of Joe’s Auto in Stow may soon have to drive a little farther for car maintenance and service, reports the Stow Sentry. Vincent Bowen – owner of the repair and towing business located at 3679 Darrow Rd. – approached the Cuyahoga Falls Planning Commission on Nov. 6 and requested a zoning certificate to build a 2,800-square-foot building and 11,000-square-foot impound lot at 488 E. Steels Corners Rd. in the Falls. The parcel is zoned E-1 Employment, which permits auto repair and tow/impound lots after a conditional zoning permit has been issued. The commission unanimously approved the request for Joe’s to move onto the 1.813-acre parcel. The plan will now go in front of Cuyahoga Falls City Council for final approval. "...I'm all …

Graham Road Widening Slated for Next Year in Cuyahoga Falls, Stow

The road widening and traffic improvement project will cost $4.3 million and could cut into the properties of some local businesses, including Krieger's Health Foods Market.

  Last year, Cuyahoga Falls and Stow city officials asked the Ohio Department of Transportation to call off the Graham Road widening project. This past December, ODOT ruled that the plan was moving forward. On Wednesday night at Stow City Hall, the proposed next steps were laid out by Arcadis design engineer Shane Gault. Gault said the project was given the green light due to a lack of safety and an abundance of traffic congestion, and offered facts, figures, graphs and matrices to back up his assertions. Here’s the breakdown: To fix these problems, Arcadis put together a study comprised of options that could be tailored to the sections of road where construction will take place, he said. Under these various options, the road would be …

My wife and I attended the meeting at Stow City Hall. We are 20 year Stow residents but are long time customers of Krieger's. The Alternative 5 presented reduced the area of dispute at Krieger's to 4 feet with the possibility of reducing the disputed area to 2 feet. The Krieger's attorney stated that they are willing to discuss resolving this final area of dispute. What was not covered in the …   more ›
