Zoning

All Meyers Lake property owners are reminded that anytime there is a change being made to increase the size of a building or structure or to alter the land surface on their property, a zoning permit is required. The Village has a Zoning Ordinance that was enacted in 1981. This ordinance as well as all Zoning Ordinances, are designed to protect the community as a whole. 

All zoning ordinances, including the Meyers Lake Zoning Ordinance, establish by law regulations for building set backs from property lines, the amount of open space that must be maintained for each lot, the land use that can be permitted in each established area, and the procedures for requesting permits when changes are proposed. The Meyers Lake Zoning Ordinance also establishes the legal right by the Village to impose penalties if the code is not followed.

If a zoning permit is requested, certain conditions will require that the application for the permit be reviewed by the Meyers Lake Planning Commission. This group, appointed by the Mayor, serves the Village as volunteers. Currently serving: Chuck Decker, Justin Greenfelder, Mark Sterling, Lee Contie, and Mayor Mike Labriola.

Also currently assisting the village with zoning services is Matthew Bailey of Legacy 5 Development Co., LLC. Please contact Matthew with questions or to obtain a zoning permit application and fee schedule. Matthew can be reached at: 330-806-1401.

Zoning is an important tool for a community to protect public health/safety and promote general community welfare. We encourage you to review the Meyers Lake Zoning Ordinance which is available on this page and/or contact Matthew Bailey with any specific questions or concerns. The Meyers Lake Zoning Ordinance will govern and control in the event of any discrepancies between this general overview and the contents of the Zoning Ordinance, which was duly enacted by Village Council.
