Protests Filed Against Use Of Local Home
Seven Grandview Heights landowners filed a civil answer in Common Pleas Court to block the Zenner home on Utah Place being used by McBee Co as a guest home and training school. They seek a declaratory judgment that the plan violates restrictive covenants in district deeds. The action follows a petition by Phillip Zenner IV and Gregory S. Zenner. The plaintiffs argue the 14 room English style residence cannot be used privately and that the deed clause was a key factor in their purchase of lots.
