Montgomery County Commissioners and the Secretary of State recently approved a change to the City's corporate boundary with the City of Kettering. For decades, properties on Crispy Drive, Dobbs Drive, Glenmina Drive, East Rahn Road, Walford Drive and Pondview Park have been located within both jurisdictions.

Now, 11 parcels are wholly within Centerville and 2 parcels are in Kettering, including Pondview Park.

“I cannot say enough about the tremendous partnership between Kettering and Centerville in resolving the boundary adjustment at Pondview Park. Not only did this process clear up zoning issues for the affected properties, our cooperation meant seamless services without interruption for the residents we both serve,” City Planner Mark Yandrick said.

Minor corporate boundary adjustments net major results in correcting discrepancies between platted lots and corporate boundaries, according to Kettering Assistant City Manager Steve Bergstresser.

“We are grateful that our team of employees, residents and neighboring communities worked so well together to bring this to completion,” Bergstresser said.

A public hearing is tentatively planned for November to appropriately rezone the area.

The City’s current acreage is 11.00 acres. The new boundary is reflected in the City’s Parcel Mapplication.
