CORTLAND — After a public hearing at which no members of the public were present, city council voted Monday to approve a zone change for land that formerly was part of Walnut Run Golf Course to make way for a condominium development.

The 17.32 acres, which was intended for use as a fairway, will be changed from a service use to a mix of residential and multifamily classification. The change was requested by Tom Nader, the attorney for Walnut Resources LLC, which owns the land.

“I signed the application on behalf of Walnut Resources as a zone change of what was part of Walnut Run Golf Course,” Nader said. “This is the first phase of a hopeful multiphase development. The purpose of the R-M zoning (residential multi-family) along the edge is, along Route 11, the intended single-family condominiums will be there.”

Also Monday, Mayor Deidre Petrosky revealed the price tag to purchase the parking lot of Farmer’s National Bank at 181 W. Main St. as $72,500.

Cortland first looked at purchasing the bank itself, but the costs and the fact that the Trumbull County Combined Health District purchased it, caused the city to purchase only the parking lot.

The mayor also announced an extension for businesses to apply for a facade grant until Nov. 30. The program, funded by the city, will allow local businesses to apply for matching grants of 25% of the total project cost up to $2,500. Sides of buildings facing the public road are deemed facades.
