Grindings remain at Canfield property

CANFIELD — A court case regarding the Canfield Flower Mill slowly continues as road grindings remain in the front yard of the property.

The mill sits along state Route 46 in the northern part of Canfield Township, 4575 S. Canfield-Niles Road. According to Vindicator files, the land encompasses a farmhouse, greenhouse and shop building and was put in the possession of James Steiner in 2013.

Steiner attended a special meeting of the Canfield Township trustees in January and asked trustees about a deal that had fallen through to end a court case on his property. “You’re going to get more resistance from me now,” he told the board at the January meeting.

According to court documents, Steiner was notified that he was in violation of township zoning ordinances on Feb. 4, 2013, based on “numerous piles of asphalt grindings” on his property.

He denied he was in violation in a Feb. 22, 2013, letter to the township Board of Zoning Appeals, which led to a March 27, 2013, zoning appeals board hearing for Steiner.
