Ohio Sanitary Landfill Deemed a Public Utility for Zoning Purposes and Exempt from Zoning Restrictions
The law firm of Keating Muething & Klekamp represented Rumpke Sanitary Landfill in a three‑year long battle to have the largest sanitary landfill in Ohio declared a public utility under the Township zoning statute and, therefore, exempt from zoning restrictions. It is the first case decided in Ohio declaring a sanitary landfill a public utility.

Impact Fee or Illegal Tax?
In The Drees Company, et al. v. Hamilton Township, Ohio, et al., Appeal No. 2009-11-150, currently pending before the Twelfth District Court of Appeals of Ohio, Plaintiffs — including The Drees Company, the Homebuilders Association of Greater Cincinnati, and others — are claiming that an impact fee passed in May 2007 by Hamilton Township on new construction is, in fact, an illegal tax.
