The Annehurst Times (Online Edition)

If you are registered to vote in the upcoming 2021 election and live in Annehurst and our adjacent neighborhoods (e.g. River Trace, Spring Hollow etc.) it is possible that your polling location has changed! Due to the construction at Annehurst Elementary and the closure of our old Senior Center on Main Street, many of us will be voting on Election Day at The Point at Otterbein this year, which is located at 60 Collegeview Road in Westerville. To check if your polling location has changed you can go to the voter information page with the Franklin County Board of Elections: https://electionlink.franklincountyohio.gov/portals/ElectionLink/VoterSearch.aspx

We have also posted/attached two documents below to assist you. One is a list of polling location changes in Franklin County (ours are the first two listed). The other is a map of our Ward and precincts so you can get an idea of whether your location has changed. Of course you can still always vote early or absentee and information about that is also located at the Franklin County Board of Elections website.

Happy Voting!

AVRA Board

Please join us for our upcoming board meeting that is being held this Thursday, October 14th at the Annehurst Pool! This meeting is open to all Annehurst Village residents!

Greetings Annehurst Village Residents,

The following information relates to the City of Westerville’s Planning Commission in regards to a new development project that’s been submitted. Our AVRA Board would like to make sure that our Residents are informed about this upcoming and potential project for Westerville. The next city council meeting will be held tomorrow, Tuesday 9/21, for anyone that’s interested in attending to learn more about our city’s initiatives in regards to this subject matter.

This month City Council is considering an application submitted by Pulte Homes after a positive recommendation by the Planning Commission.  The Pulte application provides for the building of 87 forty-eight-foot-tall townhomes on the 12.9 acres located at 343 N. West Street.

In 2019, this same plot of land the Westerville City Council considered an application from a developer who wanted to build high density multi-family housing. City Council rejected the application concerned with the many issues that would impact the West Street neighborhood such as traffic congestion, the character and integrity of the neighborhood, density exceeding code, and the environmental impact on the wetland and water quality.

Below is a link to the July planning commission meeting that shows the plan and has comments from residents regarding the project.

Below is a link to the August planning commission meeting that has additional comments from residents regarding the project. The Planning commission approved the plan and submitted to the Westerville City Council for Consideration/approval.

The next City Council meeting is Tuesday, September 21, 2021. This will be the first of three readings of the plan. Now would be the time to voice or submit your opinion on this development either in person or via correspondence.

Attention Annehurst Residents and Pool members,

We would like to thank you for a successful and FUN swim season! The AVRA Board and Pool Staff have worked hard during these trying pandemic times to make our pool safe and still provide a fun atmosphere for all our members. As we wrap up our Summer season, we anticipate (based on the weather forecast) to be open this Saturday and Sunday (September 18-19) from 12-Noon until 7PM. If the weather pattern changes and/or the temperature drops at the end of this week, we will re-evaluate this decision. We are excited about being able to extend our Summer season for one more weekend and look forward to more ‘FUN IN THE SUN’ next Summer!

Thanks Annehust for all of your support!
