Fourth Street Heritage Hunt Begins
The Village is looking for your favorite memories of life on Fourth Street! These memories will be used to inspire permanent art installations along Fourth Street as a part of the Streetscape project. The plan for the art pieces will be unveiled at the 2010 Oktoberfest, along with the story that inspired each piece and credit to those submitting the story. We are interested in recent memories, as well as those from the distant past - even memories passed to you from those you knew long ago. Here are just a couple of examples to get you started:
- Buying candy after school at H & S
- Watching movies at the Crescent Theatre
- Ice skating on the canal
Download the story form here. All completed forms must be returned to the Village Administration office no later than Friday, August 6, 2010.

Zoning Board to Hold Public Meeting
The Minster Board of Zoning Appeals will conduct a public hearing on July 13, 2010 in the Village of Minster Council Chambers located at 5 West Fourth Street, Minster, Ohio at 7:00 p.m. The purpose of the public meeting is to consider the following:
- Modification of a Home Occupational Conditional Use Permit to a Conditional Use Permit for Craig Oldiges of 126 North Paris Street. Mr. Oldiges applied for and received a Home Occupational Conditional Use Permit at the June Zoning Board meeting. At that time Mr. Oldiges indicated that he wanted to operate the business from his outbuildings rather than his home. In this situation a Home Occupational Conditional Use Permit would not be needed but a Conditional Use Permit to operate an athletic facilities company from his outbuildings would need to be obtained.
- A variance request by John and Beth Dues of 24 North Hanover to construct a detached accessory building with a height of 20 feet. According to the Village of Minster Zoning Code, the height limit for accessory buildings in a residential district is 15'; therefore a 5 foot variance would be required.
Copies of the requests and plans are available for review at the Village of Minster Administrative Offices.
Any person wishing to comment on the proposed requests may attend the meting or call the Zoning Administrator or a member of the Zoning Board of Appeals.

Single Lane Closures on SR 66 and SR 119
ODOT has announced single lane closures will be in effect on SR 66 at mile marker 1 through Minster beginning Monday, May 10th at 7 am. Single lane closures will also be in effect on SR 119 at mile marker 5 through Minster beginning Monday, May 10th at 7 am. These lane closures will take place daily between the hours of 7 am and 7 pm. Both routes are scheduled to reopen lanes Wednesday, June 30th at 4 pm. One lane of traffic will remain open in each direction of SR 66 and SR 119 at all times by the use of flaggers.
These closures are due to crews making pavement repairs and installing curb ramps in that area.
Arrow boards, signs and flaggers will be in place prior to the work zone to alert motorists of the upcoming lane closures.
Law enforcement will be on hand to monitor traffic flow.
ODOT has a "Target: Zero" goal for any and all safety hazards. To help ensure the safety of the construction workers as well as the traveling public, motorists should remain alert, reduce their speed and watch for stopped traffic while passing through the work zone.
All work is weather permitting.
For more details on the planned work, please contact Mandi Abner, ODOT Public Information Officer (937) 497-6820.
