The Annehurst Times (Online Edition)

ANNEHURST SANTA EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELLED

We are very sorry to announce that the event has been cancelled due to a very wet weekend forecast. Santa can’t reschedule because he is heading back to the North Pole on Friday ahead of the storm and won’t be back until Christmas Eve.

Be sure to stop by and see Mr. Christmas’ 2018 light display at 649 Old Coach. It features a fun photo opportunity setup and as always he collects food donations for WARM.

Mark your calendars for the annual visit from Santa held in conjunction with the official lighting of the “Dazzling Christmas Lights” at the home of “Mr Christmas”. This annual event is sponsored by the Annehurst Village Residents Association and features crafts for the kids, hot chocolate, cookies from Schneider’s Bakery, and popcorn provided by Roush Hardware. The Westerville Fire Department usually makes an appearance and sometimes gives Santa a lift to the event because there is better parking for reindeer at the fire station.

A photo backdrop will be setup for you to take photos with Santa. Your donation of canned food for WARM would be appreciated in exchange your opportunity to take a photo with Santa.

• Date: CANCELLED
• 649 Old Coach Road

We are need of volunteers to help supervise the kid’s crafts, make popcorn, and serve the hot Chocolate. If you can help make this year’s event a success, text Karen Spiller at 614-570-2964 or email karen@annehurst.com

Santa will be picking up letters from his personal mailbox from the event

A special thanks to Santa, Mr.  and Mrs. Christmas, The Westerville Police and Fire Department, Roush Hardware, Warm and Girl Scout Troop 2388!

NOTE: Old Coach Road will be closed from 5:00 p.m. until 10:00 p.m. between Storington and Berkeley Pl. S. for the Dazzling Christmas Lights event on Saturday, December 1st, 2018.

SEE YOU THERE!

Spring has arrived and with it a list of home improvements for many residents. Homeowners wishing to convert electric furnaces, hot water tanks, kitchen ranges, or other electric appliances to propane fueled appliances should remember to first obtain a permit from the City of Westerville before proceeding with the proposed work.  Whether using natural gas (NG) or liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) such as propane, it is critically important to ensure the new gas piping systems and appliances are installed correctly and safely.

The permit process ensures compliance with the Ohio Fire Code and the Residential Code of Ohio.  In addition to regulating the new gas piping and appliances, these codes regulate the location and placement of the exterior storage tanks. Depending upon the size of the storage tanks, there are various setback requirements from your dwelling unit and the adjacent neighboring properties that must be adhered to.  In summary the permit and inspection process is a mechanism to ensure your new gas piping systems and appliances are installed correctly, ensuring the safety of your family.

Please see this link for additional information about what type of work requires a building permit.  For questions or to apply for a permit, please contact the Westerville Building Division at (614) 901-6650 or edward.ungar@westerville.org.  You can also visit us in person at 64 East Walnut Street.

Meet the Mayor of Westerville
Neighborhood program begins in April

Westerville Mayor Craig Treneff is hosting a series of neighborhood meetings to connect with residents, answer questions and hear feedback on City of Westerville programs and services. Residents will receive postcards notifying them of their neighborhood meeting date and time as their event draws near.

The first meeting will be held for Annehurst-area residents on Wednesday, April 4 at 6:30 p.m. at the Annehurst Elementary gymnasium, 925 W. Main St.

A major function of these “Meet the Mayor” sessions will be discussing new initiatives. Topics include:

WESTERVILLE SAFE: An emerging City effort to develop or enhance programs for those in need, including victims of domestic violence and human trafficking.

NEIGHBORHOODS: The City is looking closely at housing and how best to support its neighborhoods. We want your thoughts on protecting property values and existing housing stock, as well as meeting future needs.

KINDNESS AND CIVILITY: In light of programs like Neighborhood Bridges, Neighbor2Neighbor and Otterbein University’s Kindness Matters campaign, what more can we do to improve community relationships at the neighborhood level?

Learn more about City Council and provide feedback about City issues at www.westerville.org/council.

Harvey’s arrival to central Ohio is spoiling the beginning of the Labor Day weekend. Due to the cold weather, the pool is closed today (Friday), and may be closed Saturday.  Fortunately, Harvey won’t be staying long, and Sunday and Monday are looking nice to close out the 2017 pool season!

The Annehurst Village Residents Association is saddened to hear that our neighborhood has been the target of hate crime. We do not support any individual or organization that seeks to intimidate anyone due to race, class, age, ability, sexual identity, or religious belief. We recognize that any action like this is a threat to the well-being our community and is unwelcome, fully rejected, and has no place in Annehurst.

Everyone has the right to feel safe in their own home and community. Our slogan is “We are Annehurst!” because we are more than a collection of homes; we are a community. We know our neighborhood is filled with good, caring people. We encourage our residents to look out for one another and make sure everyone is safe and welcome in our community.
