Condo regulations
MINERAL RIDGE -- The Weathersfield Township Zoning Commission on Tuesday recommended new regulations for planned unit developments.

The PUD regulations will be sent to the Trumbull County Planning Commission for its review and approval. They will be considered at a public hearing at 6 p.m. Oct. 13 at the township administration building during the commission's next regular meeting.
The commission has been working on creating regulations for PUDs for the past two to three months, said Sherri Craver, township zoning inspector. She said there is no major difference in the regulations compared to those which are in place in other county communities.

Meal-delivery drivers
WARREN -- Trumbull Mobile Meals is in need of volunteer drivers to deliver meals to shut-ins.
Drivers are needed on most routes in Trumbull County, but the routes in Niles, Girard, Liberty and McDonald have waiting lists for individuals who need home-delivered meals.
It usually takes an hour or less from the pickup of meals to the last drop-off.
Volunteers use their own vehicles and gasoline. Food pickups take place at St. Joseph Health Center on Eastland Avenue.
Bags are usually dropped off at a location in the delivery area. Other routes are picked up at various locations in Warren and around the county to make for easier delivery. The miles driven can be used as a tax write-off.
To volunteer, call the Mobile Meals office at (330) 394-2538.
