“Thank you for taking the time from your
schedule to meet with Tim Eschmann and me. I appreciate
very much your willingness to meet with us and to give us input

“Just a quick note to express my
appreciation for the outstanding job that Chris Schmiesing and
his staff in the Development office did in getting us thru the
‘process(s)’ to permit and build the newly relocated
McDonald’s Restaurant in Piqua, Ohio. Chris and his staff gave
us the direction and ‘next step’ details for us to proceed
on and succeed with variances and zoning approvals. It was truly
a pleasure to work with the City to achieve our goal of
providing the latest and greatest in restaurant technology to
[the] good people in Piqua, Ohio”

“As you know, I have been working… on
the development of a people friendly funeral home for Piqua.
Internally, our close knit staff has respectfully referred to
this as Project Dawn, a new beginning! I wish to formally and
personally, thank you and the City of Piqua for the personal
interest and willingness to see this [project] become a reality
for Piqua.”

“Our company specializes in building
commercial interiors and tanning salons. We have built [over]
700 locations around Ohio, Michigan, and Indiana. The speeds of
each of our jobs are typically controlled by the building
departments and inspectors in each of the municipality’s we
build in. We are very pleased that the City of Piqua was so
responsive to our needs for inspections and communication in a
timely fashion. I assure you that other cities typically do not
have the response time Piqua does. We were able to build out 2
storefronts and a tanning salon in approximately 6 weeks from
the date the permits were issued. The inspectors and staff have
been a pleasure to work with in every capacity. I wish all
building departments were so accommodating.”

The City of Piqua Planning and
Zoning office was initially established as a division of the Public Works Department
in November of 2004. In 2006, the planning and zoning functions
were relocated to the Development office. The purpose of the
office is to administer the tasks
necessary to plan, implement, and regulate land uses, while protecting and improving the quality of
life in our community.
General Government, Public
Safety, Land Use, Transportation, Parks and Recreation, Cultural
Interest, and Utilities...Each element is as essential as the
next in maintaining the dynamics that support the standard of
quality, level of service, and range of services desired by the
community. Planning and Zoning endeavors to influence, with
prudence, the capital improvement projects, land use
developments, and community desires being contemplated for
approval by city government. The office works to ensure the
timeliness of implementing any such project will best suit the
current needs of the community, will stimulate synergy between
projects, and will contribute to sustainable and affordable
growth in our community.
