Message from the Mayor
Only a few short months before first taking elected office, I married my wife, Amy.
The two of us are not the same people we were 16 years ago. We are certainly not
the same small two-person family. The Hardmans now encompass four amazing
children – who in their own right grow into different people on what seems a
daily basis. That kind of growth is what I have seen in our great City and expect
to continue in the coming years. The growth in our economy and our willingness
to explore new solutions to recurring issues has resulted in recent successes that
prove the state of the City of Sharonville is strong.
Growth – Ford Motor Company announced the investment of 900-million dollars
into their Sharonville plant in the coming year. Cincinnati Sub-Zero broke ground
in February on an 80,000 square foot expansion of their Mosteller Road facilities. Gorilla Glue continues moving their
operations into their new Gateway-75 headquarters. Rolling Hills Hospitality Group brings Hyatt Place to the Sharonville
Convention Center. The City is proud to partner with not only these business entities but all of our large, medium and
small businesses. Thanks to the dedication of city employees like Economic Development Director Chris Xeil Lyons and
Community Development Director Richard Osgood, businesses know that Sharonville is a place that welcomes them
and encourages their growth.
New Solutions – there are few phrases I find more annoying than, “We’ve always done it that way.” As the City looks
at our current challenges and those that are coming in the future, our city staff and elected officials are encouraged
to look at new ways to solve old and/or recurring issues. We have embarked on an examination of the growing needs
for space in our police department. As the debt on our new fire headquarters is paid off, we look forward to resolving
inadequacies in our Cornell Road station. Our new model for providing public health services through partnership with
Hamilton County Public Health and our own Resident Assistance Nurse has shown promising results in its first year. We
expect completion this year of our city’s comprehensive plan focusing our efforts on a shared vision for the city’s future.
Sharonville was, is and will forever be the “City of Progress.” We will continue to encourage growth and creative answers
to difficulties. I wish for our city the same healthy future that I do for my own family. I ask you to join me in that desire for
continued advancement of and innovative fixes for your personal and business lives and that of our great community
of Sharonville.

PUBLIC WORKS
Thank You
The Public Works Department would like to express our sincere
appreciation to all residents for their cooperation over the winter
months with our snow removal process. With warm weather
approaching, many residents will be outside fixing up yards and
homes, so we want to remind you of our spring and summer services.
Brush and Special Pickup Service is a year round program unless
it is snowing and we are treating the roads. Residents must call our
office at 563-1177 before noon on Friday to have their name put on
a list in order to have their items picked up the following week. Have
the materials out for removal on Sunday evening of the requested
service week. Public Works will come to your address one day of
the service week to remove the materials. Twigs cannot be picked
up; they are yard waste and must be disposed of with your regular
trash collection.
Yardwaste
Yard waste can be disposed of using one of the following methods:
• Composting on your property.
• Placing yard waste (grass, weeds, twigs, leaves) and garden
waste in bags or cans at the curb for collection. Yard waste is
collected on the same day as your regular trash collection.
• Separate yard waste (grass, weeds, twigs, leaves) and garden
waste from your regular trash and take the yard waste to one of
the three recycling drop-off locations for residents of Hamilton
County (free service). For more information call YARDWASTE
HOTLINE at (513) 946-7755.
Truck Loan Program
If you need to dispose of a lot of rubbish or debris, a truck can be
left in your driveway overnight. This service is offered from April
through October. The truck will be brought to your home or business
by 3:00 p.m. in the afternoon and is picked up the next morning by
7:30 a.m. A release of liability must be signed by the property owner.
The Truck Loan Program will cost the homeowner $50 a night and
$60 for the weekend. The cost for businesses will be $90 for nights
and weekends. Payment will be required before the truck can be
delivered to the residence. Call 563-1177 to schedule a truck.

Installing a New Driveway
You must obtain a permit to install a new driveway from the Community
Development Department. The fee to install a new driveway is $25
and it must be inspected and meet City specifications. There is
no fee or permit required if you are only installing a drive apron;
however, you must give the City a 24-hour notice before pouring
concrete. Please call Public Works before starting a driveway or
apron project for specifications and requirements.
Golden View Acres
Golden View Acres is a Senior Citizen Retirement Village. This
52 unit apartment complex is located on Greensfelder Lane off
Thornview Drive.
In order to be eligible for tenancy, a person must be at least 57
years of age and a Sharonville resident for at least one year; or be a
parent, grandparent, brother or sister of a Sharonville resident who
has resided in the City for one year.
Golden View Acres has both first and second floor units and one
and two bedroom apartments. Each apartment has an equipped
kitchen with stove and refrigerator, gas heat, hot water, and air
conditioning. Tenants pay their own utilities except water. There are
coin operated laundry facilities in each of the three buildings. When
renting an apartment an initial security deposit equaling one month’s
rent is required. After signing the lease, THE RENT WILL NOT BE
RAISED unless an additional tenant occupies the same apartment
or the current tenant moves to another apartment in the complex.
At that time, a new rental agreement is required to be signed at the
current rate.
To be placed on a WAITING LIST to rent an apartment, written
application must be made and a $50 fee deposited. This fee is
refundable when you rent an apartment or request, in writing, to be
removed from the Waiting List.
Sharonville’s Recycling Program
The City is committed to making recycling a priority in Sharonville
by offering curbside recycling at NO COST to ALL home and condo
owners. It is the residents, however, that make the real difference
- You are the key to this program’s success. If, for some reason,
you are not participating in the recycling program, please reconsider.
If you have a smaller recycling container and want to upgrade to a
95 gallon container, please call RUMPKE Recycling Department at
513-851-0122 ext. 5176 to arrange for a delivery of your container.

FIRE DEPARTMENT
Severe Weather Safety
The Arrival of spring will undoubtedly bring both April Showers
and May flowers. After a long winter this is what everyone looks
forward to. These showers can sometimes produce or turn into
dangerous storms that everyone needs to be aware of. Here are
some tips to keep your family safe.
Severe Thunderstorms, Lightning and Flooding
Did you know that lightning and flooding kill more people
every year than tornados or hurricanes? A thunderstorm is
considered severe if it produces hail at least 1 inch in diameter
or has wind gusts of at least 58 miles per hour. Heavy rainfall
from thunderstorms can quickly cause flash flooding where
rivers and streams overrun their banks and cause streets to
flood. High winds can damage homes and blow down trees
and utility poles, causing widespread power outages. Every
year people are killed or seriously injured because they
didn’t hear or ignored severe thunderstorms warnings. The
information in this section, combined with timely watches and
warnings about severe weather, could save your life:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Listen to local news or NOAA Weather Radio for emergency
updates. Watch for signs of a storm, like darkening skies,
lightning flashes or increasing wind.
If you can hear thunder, you are close enough to be in danger
from lightning. If thunder roars, go indoors! Don’t wait for rain.
Lightning can strike out of a clear blue sky.
Avoid electrical equipment and corded telephones. Cordless
phones, cell phones and other wireless handheld devices are
safe to use.
Keep away from windows.
If you are driving, try to safely exit the roadway and park. Stay in
the vehicle and turn on the emergency flashers until the heavy
rain ends.
If you are outside and cannot reach a safe building, avoid high
ground; water; trees; and metal objects such as fences or
bleachers. Picnic shelters, dugouts and sheds are NOT safe.
If you encounter a flooded roadway, do not attempt to drive
through it or walk through it. Turn around, don’t drown.
Tornadoes
A tornado is a violently rotating column of air extending from
the base of a thunderstorm down to the ground. Tornadoes
are capable of completely destroying well-made structures,
uprooting trees and hurling objects through the air like deadly
missiles. Tornadoes can occur at any time of day or night and
at any time of the year. During times of severe weather you
should be prepared to take shelter in a basement, or inner
most room of your home with no windows. Mobile properties
are not safe! Many times people ask “what is the difference
between a Tornado Watch and a Tornado Warning issued by
the National Weather Service”?:
•
6
Severe Thunderstorm Watch: Be Prepared! Severe
thunderstorms are possible in and near the watch area. Stay
informed and be ready to act if a severe thunderstorm warning
is issued. Watches are issued by the Storm Prediction Center
City of Sharonville
sharonville.org
•
•
•
for counties where severe thunderstorms may occur. The watch
area is typically large, covering numerous counties or states.
Severe Thunderstorm Warning: Take Action! Severe weather
has been reported by spotters or indicated by radar. Warnings
indicate imminent danger to life and property. Take shelter in a
substantial building. Get out of mobile homes that can blow over
in high winds. Warnings are issued by your local forecast office.
Warnings typically encompass a much smaller area (around the
size of a city or county) that may be impacted by an on-going
severe thunderstorm.
Tornado Watch: Be Prepared! Tornadoes are possible in and
near the watch area. Review and discuss your emergency plans,
check supplies and your safe room. Be ready to act quickly if
a warning is issued or you suspect a tornado is approaching.
Acting early helps to save lives! Watches are issued by the Storm
Prediction Center for counties where tornadoes may occur. The
watch area is typically large, covering numerous counties or
even states.
Tornado Warning: Take Action! A tornado has been sighted
or indicated by weather radar. There is imminent danger to life
and property. Move to an interior room on the lowest floor of a
sturdy building. Avoid windows. If in a mobile home, a vehicle,
or outdoors, move to the closest substantial shelter and protect
yourself from flying debris. Warnings are issued by your local
forecast office. Warnings typically encompass a much smaller
area (size of a city or small county) that may be impacted by
a tornado identified by a forecaster on Radar or by a trained
spotter/law enforcement who is watching the storm.
Fire Pits
The Fire Department desires all citizens not to be denied
the enjoyment of recreational fires. Although these fires are
typically small in size, they can still represent a significant fire
hazard. In an effort to minimize damage and/
or injury from fires, the Fire Prevention Code
provides these guidelines:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
When the fire is contained within an approved
container (i.e. commercial fire pits, screened
devices, etc.), the fire shall be located more
than 15’ from any structure. The immediate area within 15’ should
also be clean of combustible materials, such as overgrown
brush, weeds, and shrubs.
When the fire is not contained within an approved container, the
fire should be located more than 25’ from any structure and the
immediate area within 25’ clean of combustible materials.
The burning of garbage, leaves, landscape waste, construction
waste and other combustible materials are prohibited. Only
seasoned, dried firewood is permitted.
The fire must be started with combustible materials; no
flammable/combustible liquids can be used to ignite the fire.
The recreational fire must not exceed 3’ diameter and 2’ in height.
The Fire Department may prohibit any burning when atmospheric
or local conditions make such fires a hazard or nuisance.
A means for immediate utilization for extinguishment must be
readily available.
Fires must always be attended by an adult until completely
extinguished.

Roadway Safety
We understand that being stopped by law enforcement can be a
stressful situation for the driver and passengers. Traffic stops are
inherently dangerous for police officers, so no stop is considered
“routine.” We offer the following tips to make traffic stops smoother
and safer for all involved. When you are aware that an officer has
activated his/her emergency lights:
Pull Over Immediately
• Pull off to the right side of the roadway and position your vehicle
as far out of the lane of traffic as possible.
• Turn off your engine and any other device (radio, cell phone,
etc.) and roll down your window so you can communicate with
the officer.
• When the stop takes place in the dark, turn on your flashers
and the vehicle’s interior lights so that the officer can see that
everything is in order.
Remain Calm
• Remain calm and ask all passengers to remain calm as well.
• Keep your seatbelt fastened and ask your passengers to keep
their seatbelts fastened as well.
• Stay in your seat and do not get out of the vehicle unless the
officer asks you to.
Maintain Hands in Plain View
• Keep your hands in plain view, preferably on the steering wheel,
and ask your passengers to keep their hands in plain view or
in their laps.
• Do not make any movements that might be interpreted by the
officer that you are hiding or searching for something.
Weapon Possession
• Let the officer know if you, or a passenger, are carrying a
weapon in your car and if you have a legal permit to carry it.
• If you are a CCW permit holder and are carrying a weapon, you
have a duty to inform the police officer immediately.
Documentation Required
• The officer will ask for your driver’s license, proof of vehicle
registration, and proof of insurance.
• Tell the officer where they are and reach for the documents
slowly, keeping one hand on the steering wheel.
Communicate Clearly
• Answer the officer’s questions fully and clearly.
• If you disagree with the officer, do not discuss your point of view
at that time – you can choose to contest a citation later without
raising issues about unfairness during a traffic stop.
• The citation will show the date and location of your court date.
Charge Or Citation
• If the citation is not clear, ask the officer for an explanation in a
respectful manner.
• You will be asked for a signature if the officer issues a citation.
Your signature is not an admission of guilt. It only means that
you received a copy of the citation.
Completion Of The Traffic Stop
• After you have been released from the stop, signal your intention
to re-enter into the roadway and do so only when it is safe.
• If you have questions or concerns about the traffic stop, contact
the officer’s agency within a few days of the incident.
Your safety on the roadways is important to us and we
want you to arrive safely!
New Officer
We would like to introduce the newest member of our department,
Officer Chris Nguyen. Officer Nguyen grew up in Springdale, Ohio
and is a Princeton High School
graduate.
He attended the
University of Cincinnati graduating
with a Bachelor of Science degree
in Criminal Justice. He was also

Society. Officer Nguyen completed
the Ohio State Highway Patrol
Academy this past December. We
welcome him to our team!

Community Development
2015 Highlights
The Sharonville Department of Community Development had a busy 2015. Here are some highlights from the 2015 Annual Report presented
at City Council on January 12, 2016.

Department name change from Planning Department to the Department of Community Development.
Assumed responsibility for Environmental Health compliance formerly performed by the Sharonville Health Department.
In October, Richard Osgood, Community Development Department manager, presented the Twin Creek Preserve project (end of Best
Place off Crescentville Road) at the North Carolina Association of Flood Plain Managers Fall Floodplain Institute.
Stantec, which is a Sharonville engineering firm, conducted a study of the Twin Creek Preserve project and concluded that it had reduced
the base flood elevation by almost one foot. This is significant in FEMA terms and anecdotal comments from businesses in Sharonville
along the Mill Creek say flooding seems to be less frequent since completion of the project.
Major construction projects completed in 2015 include: Princeton Middle/High School Complex; Equity Group Office Building (new
building, 400 E-Business Way); Rush Trucking (new facility, 11775 Highway Drive); USUI Expansion (88 Partnership Way)
Major construction projects to break ground in 2015 include: Jurgensen/Valley Ashpalt (new headquarters office building, 111641 Mosteller
Road); Semco Outdoor (new facility, 11864 Chesterdale Road); ADSCO (new facility, 11400 Enterprise Park Drive).
Major project still under construction include the Enclave apartment complex (3800 Hauck Road).
Total cost of construction (residential and commercial): $30,607,335.
Total number of permits (residential and commercial): 683
Total adjusted department receipts (residential, commercial, engineering, and other): $364,099 (over 65% of Community Development
Department operating budget).
2015 Planning Commission activity included: New residential subdivision at Allenhurst Boulevard (pictured below); New Planned
Unit Development for Semco Outdoor at
11864 Chesterdale Road; new zoning
code regulations for Sexually Oriented
Businesses.
Total number of Code Enforcement
cases (residential and commercial): 371
Total number of tall grass and weeds
complaints: 117
Total number of detention basin and
storm water management system
inspections: 142
Projections for 2016 are equally strong in
the City of Sharonville and we will continue
to monitor the condition of property and
structures in order to maintain property
values and quality of life. Update of the
Comprehensive Plan is a high priority since
it hasn’t had a full strategic analysis and
modification in thirty years. Please feel free
to contact Community Development with any
questions, suggestions, or concerns.

hard, but it’s also exciting,” he said of the opportunity to
bring Christmas to the children. “We wouldn’t be able to do
it without the help of Princeton and Officer Price. She’s our
bridge.”
The City of Sharonville congratulates these individuals and all
employees that work so hard to make our community great.

Part of the criteria that is used in determining whether a chaperone is
responsible is as follows:
• Guest(s) must stay with member at all times.
• Chaperone does not condone or participate in unsafe practices.
• Chaperone stays vigilant and does not divide his/her attention
between friends or other distractions.

by a Wilson junior size volleyball net, players sit in 6 chairs on
each side of the court while keeping an inflatable beach ball
in play. The hardest part of the game is keeping your seat in
the seat. Laughter abounds as volleyball games are played

Registration is not required, but we do ask that you sign in
each Friday that you join us for practice. Please consult with
