Village Resident sues Village over Golf Course Settlement Agreement
On 9 May 2008, Mr. Edward R. Kuchar Sr., a resident of Boston Heights, filed suit against the Village.
The suit complains, broadly stated, that the Village agreement to settle the zoning lawsuit over the
Boston Heights Country Club was carried out improperly, therefore could not immediately be carried into effect,
and was entered into in bad faith in the first place. Among other measures, the suit asks that the Village
be enjoined from carrying out the terms of the "Agreed Judgement Entry" settlement, and that
any zoning change to the property be carried out under the requirements of the normal zoning procedures.
(Please see the Summit County Clerk of Courts website for further documentation on this motion
regarding Civil Case CV-2008-05-3633.)

Special Council meeting re-adopts the BHCC lawsuit settlement agreement
Village Council held a Special Meeting at 9:30pm Sunday 11 May 2008
to revisit its acceptance of the agreement to settle the zoning lawsuit over the former Boston Hills
Country Club. Mayor Goncy, Clerk-Treasurer Zeman, and Councilors Cheung, Lightner, Foss, Hudson and Miller all attended.
Councilor Slane was absent. All 5 present of the 6 elected Council members once again voted to re-accept the lawsuit
settlement agreement (after fixing a few typos in the enabling resolution). When asked, after adjournment, about
the reason for re-visiting this matter (adopted also on 11 April), Solicitor Mike Cassetty would only say that it was to
"clarify" some matters.
A brief glance suggests that
Consent Agreement
remains the same,
but the form of the accepting resolution,
Resolution O-2008, had been modified
to detail the reasons for it being handled as an emergency measure per
ORC 731.30. It is possible that this is in response to
the complaint made by a village resident in his
motion to intervene
in the case.
(Please see the Summit County Clerk of Courts website for further documentation on this motion
regarding Civil Case CV-2007-07-4696.)

Council agrees to settle BHCC Lawsuit
Town Meeting on Lawsuit Settlement (16 Apr'08)
A Town Meeting was held to explain the settlement, and take questions, on Fri 18 Apr 2008, at the Village Fire Station.
Village officials and lawyers explained some of the details of the agreement, and a number of rather irate
citizens commented and asked questions about the future of the property.
Here is the final version of the
Consent Agreement to settle the BHCC lawsuit.
(18 Apr'08)
See the settlement map, to the lower right.
Mayor Reports on Lawsuit Settlement, Sets Public Meeting (14 Apr'08)
BHO News Summary: At a special "emergency" meeting held on Friday evening, 11 April 2008,
Boston Heights Village Council adopted a resolution to settle the lawsuit filed
against the Village over the zoning of the former Boston Heights Country Club golf course.
In essence, it would allow commercial development of 100 acres of the site (65 acres retail and 35 acres
of other commercial use) and reserve 60 acres
as permanently undeveloped land buffering adjacent properties. This buffer would be deeded over to the
Village upon its request, once construction begins.
It appears that the timing and nature of the settlement are related to an attempt to lure the
proposed Summa Northern Summit hospital
to this site at Hines Hill and Route 8.

Village sued over "unconstitutional" zoning of former Boston Hills Country Club
property at Hines Hill & Route 8 (15 Jul)
In a lawsuit filed against the Village of Boston Heights on 3 July 2007, the State of Ohio ex rel.
Boston Heights Property Investment LLC, the plaintiff, ask for declararatory judgement as follows:
that Residential zoning is unconstitutionally applied, that the retail building limit of 50,000 sq.ft.
is unconstitutionally applied, and that the suspension of the rezoning and size limit changes, due to the
pending November referendums, is unconstitutionally applied. The suit claims a right to
compensation from the Village in an amount exceeding $10 million, and demands
declaratory judgements on these claims and a determination of
"just compensation" for the Village's "taking" of this property.
