UPDATED: Issue 64 Votes Will be Valid

Updated: Tuesday, Nov. 8 at 12:30 p.m.

Twinsburg voters should know that Issue 64 will be a valid issue today, according to the city's law director.

David Maistros said Monday evening that because it is a zoning amendment, Issue 64 did meet the established laws on proper notification when it went through planning commission earlier this year.

Issues 62 and 63, and no matter the vote today, will not stand.

--------------------------------

What: Issue 64: Banning outdoor wood-burning furnaces in Twinsburg.

Election Day: Nov. 8 

Ballot Language: PROPOSED ZONING AMENDMENT CITY OF TWINSBURG
A majority affirmative vote is necessary for passage. Shall ordinance 23-2011 amending section 1155.01 (R), prohibiting the use of outdoor furnaces, be
adopted?

Argument For:  Larry Finch, the director of planning and community development, said outdoor wood furnaces are specifically meant to burn wood, but it’s hard to stop people from burning other, less-friendly fuels, causing smoke issues in neighborhoods and possible air pollution.

Argument Against: There haven't been any public arguments against this issue and Finch said there is only one outdoor furnace he is aware of.
