WOOSTER The second attempt to develop a residential subdivision on a parcel of farmland on Melrose Drive suffered a setback when the Wooster Planning Commission voted 4-2 against recommending the project’s rezoning to City Council.
Lemmon Development, a North Canton-based construction firm, is seeking rezoning of the 22-acre plot at 4677 Melrose Drive from R-1 single family residential to R-3 attached housing for a planned 152-unit single story apartment complex.
At the Jan. 7 meeting, Planning Commission Chair Chuck Armbruster and members Kyle Adams, Grant Mason and Mark Weaver opposed the rezoning recommendation while Vice Chair Mike Steiner and Sheree Brownson were in favor.
