residents are encouraged to visit the DTCP website or subscribe to the Tippecanoe Gazette As Weaver and host Greg Enslen reminded listeners the Gazette’s “What to Do in Tippecanoe” column is a valuable resource for staying up to date on the many happenings in town Tipp City stands ready to celebrate its community spirit and welcome residents and visitors alike for a weekend of fun Massive 293-home development is planned for the northern end of Tipp City A substantial new residential development is poised to reshape the northeast quadrant of Tipp City as planning officials consider the preliminary plat for "Hyatt Trails," a 293-home subdivision spanning over 138 acres The plans describe what would be one of the city's largest residential projects in recent years For more information on this and other construction projects happening around Tipp City the Tippecanoe Gazette has launched a new “Tipp Construction Projects” page on their website proposed by developer Bill Keethler operating as Corridor Development II LLC would transform approximately 138 acres of currently undeveloped land into a comprehensive residential community located in the area of 850 North Hyatt Street The property is strategically located in the northeast section of Tipp City The development plan allocates the land into three major categories: 71.129 acres for residential development 16.084 acres dedicated for public right-of-way and a substantial 51.097 acres reserved for green and open spaces While green space is not required in the R-1C Urban Residential zoning district the developer has voluntarily incorporated these areas to provide buffering between adjacent properties "Hyatt Trails will feature 293 new single-family lots designed in full compliance with all applicable ordinances and regulations established by Tipp City," states the application submitted by Keethler to Tipp City officials the proposal includes several community amenities that would enhance the neighborhood's character and connectivity The ambitious project will be developed in five distinct phases allowing for organized growth and infrastructure development Phase 1: 64 residential lots plus three green/open space areas Phase 3: 51 residential lots plus one green/open space area Phase 4: 56 residential lots plus two green/open space areas Phase 5: 72 residential lots plus three green/open space areas Each phase will maintain consistent building setbacks and side setbacks of five feet throughout the development The development goes beyond basic housing with several noteworthy features designed to enhance the quality of life "Additional enhancements include the Hyatt Nature Trail a scenic nature path surrounding the subdivision and a paved path connecting the subdivision to the school," located across Hyatt Three stormwater detention/retention ponds will manage runoff and provide a buffer between homes and the railroad tracks to the east The first pond will be constructed during Phase 1 with additional ponds added during Phases 3 and 5 the developer has proposed several landscaping mounds throughout the subdivision to provide visual separation and buffering particularly near the intersections with N Hyatt Street and along the northern boundary adjacent to existing homes on Crane Road the Planning Board approved a Special Use Permit allowing for Narrow Lot Development within the subdivision This approval permits lots with a minimum width of 65 feet rather than typical R-1C requirements allowing for a more efficient use of the available land The city code specifies that in such narrow lot developments "the width of the garage façade shall not occupy over 60 percent of the width of the entire front façade of the principal building," ensuring architectural diversity and preventing a streetscape dominated by garage doors Hyatt Trails will connect to existing neighborhoods through three strategic access points: two connections to N Hyatt Street via Prairie Willow Avenue and Manchester Drive plus one connection to Park Avenue via Switchgrass Drive A significant hurdle for the development was cleared on March 17 when the Tipp City Council passed Ordinance 2-25 modifying the city's Thoroughfare Plan to eliminate a previously required 80-foot wide arterial road through the property The ordinance became effective on April 16 This modification stemmed from earlier discussions in February 2025 when the Planning Board recognized that significant changes had occurred since the Thoroughfare Plan's creation These changes included the development of Lesher Woods recreational area and bike trail plus the rezoning of nearby properties from Light Industrial to Single-Family Residential eliminating the need for a major industrial roadway City staff has recommended approval of the preliminary plat with two specific conditions: first that Ordinance 2-25 regarding the Thoroughfare Plan becomes effective without a referendum challenge (it did); and second that the Planning Board not approve any final plats until the developer provides proof of ownership of a critical section of property currently owned by Precision Strip This 90-foot by 300-foot section of property is needed for road access to Park Avenue via Switchgrass Drive during Phase 5 While an easement exists for utilities and street purposes the property must be acquired by the developer before it can be properly dedicated to the city the Hyatt Trails development would represent one of the most significant housing expansions for Tipp City in recent years potentially bringing hundreds of new residents to the community while preserving substantial green space and enhancing connectivity between existing neighborhoods The development will also impact traffic on Hyatt Road and increase the number of student attending Tipp City schools Tipp City Crews were working to reopen 571 east of Tipp City we found the road to be dry and open eastbound all the way to the Chamberlain Pond and bridge area where city crews were working to remove debris and mud on the roads Westbound back into town there was standing water crossing the road into the eastbound

In December, it agreed to purchase the struggling plaza for almost $7 million Other cities across the state are making similar moves plus a whitewater park for kayaking and river surfing Part of those plans involve creating an entertainment space where visitors can gather to watch live sports on big screens And two projects are underway in the Cincinnati area to repurpose dying malls Massive projects like these are necessary because the malls no longer serve the purposes they were built for a retail expert and executive vice president of strategy for WD Partners in Dublin “Those malls have become ghost towns,” he said Storefronts are shuttered inside Middletown’s Towne Mall in 2021 [Ronny Salerno]His company studies consumer shopping habits they found only about 20% of people preferred to shop online “The pandemic was like letting the genie out of the bottle for online shopping,” Peterson said As more people discovered the ease of e-tailers traffic dropped at strip malls like the Tipp City Plaza and lower-tier indoor malls like Middletown’s Towne Mall shopping centers across the country have been devastated or their leases are up and they’re not going to renew Department stores are closing all across the country the developers have to do something with these spaces,” Peterson said “That’s where the cities may step in and say ‘We’ll give it a try with something completely different.’” Probably not if they plan on bringing in the same types of chain retailers as before But if they can find new uses for the land — like housing or green spaces coworking offices and local coffee roasters — they could be Peterson says a popular idea lately is the “15-minute city” — where people can live exercise and have fun all within a 2-mile radius Tipp City’s plans for its recently purchased plaza start small [we’re] trying to make it look a little better for the residents,” Mack said The city plans to fill in the potholes that litter the parking lot and touch up the landscaping to help the space feel more inviting but Mack says the dream is for the property to be a mixed-use space “Potentially an apartment building right here,” Mack said “[and] some retail spaces up closer to Main Street.” It’ll likely take years before the city can begin redevelopment in earnest Mack is hopeful the area will thrive with city leadership — just like it did so many years ago under private ownership 2025 after an ongoing battle with congestive heart failure After Harold graduated from Stebbins High School in 1964 Army and served as military police in

new school building at Tuesday night's board of education meeting The district recently shared designs for the new PK-8 building but not all parents are on board with the proposed design which includes large group unisex restrooms "The unisex bathroom plans are against the law no matter how you sit there and say 'oh the laws will change' right now the law is current," said one parent You may recall a controversial bathroom bill was signed into law by Governor Mike DeWine last November The bill mandates schools designate separate facilities for males and females based on their gender assigned at birth This requirement applies to school buildings and facilities used for school-sponsored events Exceptions to the legislation include school employees Schools are still permitted to offer single-use and family-bathroom facilities The Ohio State Senate had passed SR-104 on Nov Tipp City Schools have shared designs for a new school building that voters approved from a $87 million bond issue but parents feel the proposed design involving large group restrooms might put some fear in students using unisex bathrooms According to the latest floor plans for the new PK-8 building on the Tipp City Schools website the proposed design includes several large group restrooms School board members stress these drawings are still in the design phase and the design alone is going to take up to a year at least before going into the construction phase Community members hope the board listens to their concerns "These children are not robots and they’re not cattle No wonder kids don’t come to school and studies show higher anxiety We’re stressing them," said another concerned parent "I would encourage everybody as the design process continues to remain civil and if there’s questions about things we can certainly answer those in an appropriate way," said Kyle Thompson “I’m disappointed a little bit by the depths to which some people have sunk in terms of their flammatory discourse I don’t think there’s any place for that.” The board plans to meet again on February 18 where more updates and discussion will be addressed regarding the school building project Ohio to
