A mediation hearing date in the legal dispute between the owner of Woodville Road Nursery and Lake Township has been set for April 14 and Wood County Common Pleas Court Judge Matthew Reger has scheduled a trial for May 27. The dispute centers on two parcels purchased in 2017 by James Mlynek, the nursery owner, and the township’s zoning resolution. Mlynek purchased the parcels along Woodville Road to temporarily store leaves before composting them at his nursery business. The parties are at odds over required buffer yards and mounds, the use of the parcels as a transfer station, and whether the township has applied its zoning resolution equitably.
