And for some of you in the audience that were at the BCA meeting, you already heard this, so I apologize, but going over this so 00:04:57
that everybody understands how we handle the business before the Planning Commission. So the first thing that will occur is the 00:05:02
president of the Board, Mr. Unruh, will read the agenda item that will be covering. 00:05:07
Thereafter, the staff will present a staff report and compliance with any items that needed to be complied with. 00:05:13
Thereafter, the applicant or the petitioner will have 10 minutes to present their application and their request to the Planning 00:05:19
Commission Board. 00:05:23
From there, board members may ask the petitioner and applicant questions if they wish to at that point in time. 00:05:27
After that, public comments will be opened where those in favor and those in opposition will have an opportunity to speak. We go 00:05:33
those in favor first. 00:05:37
So everybody in the room that's in favor and wants to speak, we'll have 10 minutes. That's 10 minutes in total, not 10 minutes. 00:05:41
Per person. 00:05:47
And those in opposition will then speak next when called for, and that will also be a 10 minute section for all those in 00:05:49
opposition to the application. 00:05:53
The board can't expand those time periods, if appropriate, and that would be discussed at that point in time. 00:05:58
After that, the petitioner will have 5 minutes to come back up for rebuttal of any comments that were made or to answer any 00:06:04
questions that were made. 00:06:07
By the. 00:06:11
People in favor or in opposition. Thereafter, the board will have an opportunity to discuss the case. 00:06:12
In a motion and ballot will be presented by one of the board members for consideration and voting by the board. 00:06:17

Which are zoning map amendment? 00:08:56
Major subdivision request and two development plan. 00:08:58
And applications. 00:09:02
As mentioned, this is for the petitioner JC Food Stores. 00:09:05
Care of the Kroger Company. 00:09:09
Pertaining to the vacant land behind the current JC Food store between Hwy. 150 and Tribe Rd. 00:09:12
The zoning district is a PUD residential urban. 00:09:19
Based on they are requesting a general commercial. 00:09:24
Zone. This is in the Highlander Point Overlay district. 00:09:28
The applicant is proposing the development of the property and the three lots to include a grocery shopping center. 00:09:34
Fuel station and a lot dedicated for detention. 00:09:42
Lot A will be the lot of the grocery shopping center, which is 13.9 acres. 00:09:46
And we'll have 122,000 square foot marketplace. 00:09:53

Traffic impact study. 00:10:32
Has been. 00:10:34
Included with this. 00:10:36
For this project and was conducted by Strand. 00:10:37
The design for the limited access break. 00:10:42
Has been. 00:10:45
Approved by NDOT. 00:10:46
The final approval will come once the design of the intersection is complete. 00:10:48
Which is federal? Which is a federally funded? 00:10:53
And we received the notice to proceed on that engineering. 00:10:56
This week. 00:11:00
Technical Review Committee was conducted for this project on October 23rd, 25. 00:11:02
And likewise, A plat committee was held. 00:11:10
December 16th, 2025. 00:11:13
The applicant has requested several variances development standard variances for the project, primarily focused on lot A, but 00:11:17
also. 00:11:21
Applicable to the other lots and some. 00:11:25
Cases. 00:11:28
These are for facade building materials, external sidewalks along Hwy. 150, the internal sidewalks and. 00:11:29
Total signage. 00:11:37
A substantial amount of the property was originally. 00:11:39
Add that all of those did receive approval at the BZA earlier tonight. 00:11:43
A substantial amount of the property was originally zoned General Commercial, with a small portion to the north. 00:11:50
Zoned residential, Urban. 00:11:57
It was approved to be rezone to a planned unit development with underlying RU zoning for a mixed-use development that includes 00:11:59
residential, urban. 00:12:03
Homes and commercial lots along 150 and that was FC 03/22/17. So that was just a few years ago. 00:12:08
Staff comments regarding the rezoning. 00:12:16
The rezoning of a subject property is consistent with Floyd County Comprehensive Plan. 00:12:19
Vision Floyd County prescribes following smart growth principles for development. 00:12:25
With the following paramount principles preserving open space and farmway and natural gravity and critical environmental areas. 00:12:30
Strengthen and direct development towards existing communities and to foster distinctive, attractive communities with strong sense 00:12:37
of place. 00:12:40
The proposal is adjacent to Hwy. 150. 00:12:45
And intersection 64 and is adjacent to the Highlander Point Center. 00:12:48
The will direct and strengthen development towards existing communities. 00:12:53
It is located in the Highlander Point commercial growth area. 00:12:57
Design guidelines for the overlay district as well as commercial development guidelines. 00:13:01
From the Floyd County zoning ordinance, foster attractive and distinctive developments. 00:13:06
Additionally, the property will substance was substantially zoned General commercial before the rezoning. 00:13:11
For mixed-use development. 00:13:18
The rezoning of the subject property is consistent with the current conditions of the in character of current structures. 00:13:21
And uses in the area because the property is adjacent to the Highlander point. 00:13:28
To highlight a point where the current JC store is located, large scale commercial and strip commercial is located there. 00:13:33
Rezoning of the subject property is necessary for the most desirable use of the land. 00:13:40
The property was initially substantially zoned general commercial. 00:13:46
It is an economic growth area identified in the comp plan. 00:13:50
It is ideally located near the Interstate and along Hwy. 150. The tract is large available. 00:13:53
Is the large tract available? Is particularly suited for large shopping center and ancillary services such as fuel stations. 00:14:00
The rezoning of the subject property will not be interest to the value of the properties in the area. 00:14:08
The rezoning is consistent with the original zoning. 00:14:13
Of the property which is not injurious to nearby properties. 00:14:17
Road use is consistent with long term and historic planning for the area. 00:14:20
And the rezoning of the subject property will support responsible growth and development. The proposed rezoning follows smart 00:14:25
growth principles, is consistent with nearby land uses and planning documents. 00:14:31
Adequate infrastructure is available nearby and can be brought to the property. 00:14:36
Staff recommended conditions would. 00:14:42
A written commitment. 00:14:44
Property owner will commit to working with the County on the Limited Access right away break permit. 00:14:46
The property owner will pay any required fee for the increased property value for these properties charged by and dot. 00:14:51
Where other state agencies? 00:14:58
As agreed to by the county. 00:15:00
The next application is a. 00:15:04
Major subdivision application. 00:15:07
Staff review for this is that the petitioner has provided A preliminary site plan. 00:15:14
In Platt, the traffic impact study was completed and provided adequate level of service once the intersection at Hwy. 150 is 00:15:19
completed. 00:15:24
The Soil and preliminary site report was completed for FC 3/22/17 for this property and indicated there was not a need for a phase 00:15:29
one environmental. 00:15:33
Were a geotechnical report and there are no wetlands or flood hazards present. 00:15:38
Lots meet size standards for general commercial zone with access from new roads and drives. 00:15:44
And the new public street is compliant with county standards. 00:15:49
But needs to be named. 00:15:53
A private access easement is needed to for the drive. Access to Lot C connection to the new public street is prohibited. 00:15:56
As it will interfere with the intersection with Hwy. 150. 00:16:03
Approval of the limited access break is pending with. 00:16:08
Sidewalks. 00:16:12
Provided throughout the development on either side of the public. Right away. Protective covenants should be provided for 00:16:13
maintenance of sidewalks. Regional retention. 00:16:18
Private access easement. 00:16:22
Use in maintenance. 00:16:24
The petitioners provided a preliminary plan for drainage. The development will utilize Lot B for. 00:16:27
Retention Basin. 00:16:33
Full drainage plane compliant with county stormwater regulations will be required prior to secondary approval. 00:16:34
The petition. 00:16:41
The petitioner will also need to provide documentation of declassification of the Blue Line stream from IDEM. 00:16:42
DMV The petitioner has provided letters of service for the following utilities and services. Harrison RMC for electric Highlander 00:16:49
fire District Fire Protection. 00:16:54
Floyd Knobs Water Company for water, Center Point Energy for Gas and Clark Dietz has provided the letter from New Albany 00:17:00
Wastewater. 00:17:03
For sewer service. 00:17:07
The petitioner has met the requirements of the. 00:17:09
Subdivision control ordinance for wastewater. 00:17:13
It provided the letter from. 00:17:16
Clark Dietz stating that there is available infrastructure and capacity. 00:17:18
Final approval of the connection will come from the City of New Albany. 00:17:23
The New Albany municipal wastewater. 00:17:28
This will was also confirmed at the TRC meeting. Staff recommendations for conditions. 00:17:31
Prior to secondary approval, provide the following complete drainage plan. 00:17:36
Provide documentation. Blue Lines stream has been classified, declassified from iodine and DNR. 00:17:41
Update Plan to include an access easement for Lot C. 00:17:47
Provide productive governance to include sidewalk maintenance and liability provisions. 00:17:50
Private access, easement use and maintenance, and regional detection use and maintenance. 00:17:55
Provide an easement to buffer the Creek to the northeast corner of the property, compliant with the design manual. 00:18:00
Provide documentation of. 00:18:07
Cooperation with Highlander Fire for the placement of fire hydrants. 00:18:08
And provide a new street name. 00:18:13
All right, on to the development plans. 00:18:18
The first one is for the shopping center. 00:18:25
As I mentioned, the petitioner has not met all the development standards for the district. 00:18:29
The petitioner has requested for development standards variances that were granted. 00:18:33
For signage. 00:18:39
Building facade, internal and external sidewalks. 00:18:41
Therefore, a waiver is required. 00:18:45
The waiver would be consistent with the spirit and intent of the Comprehensive Plan. 00:18:48
As it supports the development of the commercial growth area while on ensuring high quality designs. 00:18:54
And the waiver is also consistent with the intent of the. 00:19:12
Zoning district and Highlander overlay. The variances requested are not eliminating the required design elements, but modifying. 00:19:16
To the unique circumstances of the property and the scale of the development. 00:19:24
The development is a large scale commercial project located in the Highlander Point Overlay District and Growth area. There are 00:19:34
sufficient infrastructure to support development. 00:19:38
And has received several minor variances. 00:19:44
Recommending. 00:19:49
These. 00:19:51
Buffer yard or. 00:19:53
The fence raw material to be same material as primary structure as approved by staff. 00:19:56
The plan showed wood. 00:20:02
I would like to have a discussion with the developer we have. 00:20:05
Typically required. 00:20:08
Some masonry or vinyl or some some mix of materials for that element. 00:20:10
When when the facade is entirely masonry. 00:20:17
So the final application is FC-45 for the fuel station. 00:20:24
All of the same development standards. 00:20:34
Issues were presented in this case. 00:20:37
With the exception, it did not require the development standard variances except for the. 00:20:40
External sidewalk around 1:50. 00:20:47
That's all. I just kind of summarized that last one because it's the same as as the shopping center. 00:20:52
Do you have any questions for me before the applicant? 00:20:59
Any questions for Nick from the board? 00:21:03
I've got one. I kind of missed it. You'd mentioned the N dot right away Cut. You said that had been approved. We were. So the 00:21:05
design of it has been approved. We have a letter from. 00:21:09
Seymour office that they will prove it once we. 00:21:14
Submit all the application materials for the permit. It's a substantial permit that takes a substantial amount of time. 00:21:19
Some of those items will. 00:21:27
Come from the preliminary engineering that we just started so. 00:21:29
You know what? We'll receive it once we get everything in, but it'll take us several months to get everything in. 00:21:34
OK. 00:21:39
Has the stream officially been declassified? And we're just waiting on the letter or waiting for them to make the determination 00:21:41
that it's been so? 00:21:44
The applicants claimed that it was declassified. 00:21:48
OK, so. 00:21:51
We want to see the evidence of that. 00:21:52
That's what we're What do we do if it's not been declassified? 00:21:54
They haven't. They haven't met the condition, Yeah. 00:21:58
They're dead. They'll have to come back. 00:22:01
Yeah, it would be a different development. 00:22:03
And I don't think that the rezoning is contingent on that. 00:22:05
Good questions. Anybody else? 00:22:11
Any more questions? 00:22:12
Nick, thank you, Sir. 00:22:13
All righty, at this time we'll call the. 00:22:16
Applicant to come forward and state. 00:22:19
Name and your address again for the record. 00:22:22
Better remember this address system, Go ahead. 00:22:27
Good evening John Campbell with Heritage Engineering. 00:22:31
Address is 603 N Shore Dr. Ste. 204, Jeffersonville, IN 47130. 00:22:35
I did put together as noted before, kind of. 00:22:45
Break point presentation but I will just roll through it. 00:22:48
And then a offer to answer any questions. 00:22:52
So item number 2 on the agenda was the rezoning. 00:22:58
I think next staff report. 00:23:03
Clarified kind of what? 00:23:07
What the previous zoning was, what the existing zoning is. 00:23:09
We do want to. 00:23:13
To rezone that or re. 00:23:15
Kind of rezone it. 00:23:18
Took mostly what it was before. Is that general commercial GC zoning? 00:23:19
And that is to. 00:23:24
Allow us to. 00:23:26
Create a new public roadway through the property. 00:23:27
Create the three lots with the development lot or the main primary lot being the proposed. 00:23:30
JC Grocery and Fuel Center. 00:23:36
Well, with the 2 two lots of that being the JC Grocery and the fuel center. 00:23:39
And then that remaining lot being the. 00:23:44
Dedicated area for open space and detention. 00:23:47
And this is that zoning map. 00:23:51
This actually had shown the old zoning. I just printed that out to capture how much of this total site was previously zoned 00:23:54
General commercial. 00:23:58
They're to the top of the page. Is the area that originally was. 00:24:04
Are you zoning? 00:24:09
Again, we want to rezone this to that commercial zone. It is in keeping with that kind of existing commercial node that you have 00:24:11
there. 00:24:15
Inappropriate for this area. 00:24:20
Next item is the major subdivision. As previously mentioned, we're creating the three lots. 00:24:24
The primary lot, lot 1 as it's noted on the actual. 00:24:31
Subdivision. 00:24:36
Flat. Commercial subdivision Flat. 00:24:37
But it's actually noted as track day on the development plan is for the. 00:24:40
Proposed JC Grocery. 00:24:44
Which you can see there in Lot 1 Lot 2 which is noted as being track C on the development plan. 00:24:47
Is they're kind of midpoint along Hwy. 150 and that is for the fuel center, the proposed fuel center. 00:24:54
And then to the bottom of the page there is the track 3 or lot 3 which was noted as track. 00:25:02
Be on our development plan. 00:25:08
With the proposed Rd. A there. 00:25:11
Connecting. 00:25:14
Hwy. 150 to Schreiber Rd. 00:25:15
Kind of separating lots 1 and 2 with the open space and detention lot being lot 3. 00:25:18
We did prepare a. 00:25:26
Development plans specific to the grocery that is for 123,000 square foot grocery. 00:25:28
JC Grocery that will include internal to the store. 00:25:36
A pharmacy. A wine and spirits section of the store. 00:25:40
As well as a subtenant of a Starbucks. 00:25:45
User It does have 547 parking spaces specific to the store. 00:25:49
That lot does fully comply with the lot coverage requirements as well as the landscape planting requirements. 00:25:55
So we are fully in compliance with that. 00:26:04
And then as noted, the tension for that. 00:26:07
Main store is on the. 00:26:09
Off site open space lot which is lot 3 of that. 00:26:12
Commercial subdivision plan. 00:26:16
This is the overview of that showing the main grocery there. 00:26:19
That grocery will face the new proposed Rd. A. 00:26:23
We are providing the parking out front between Rd. A and the store. 00:26:28
And then the detention across the way there. 00:26:33
We did include in our submittal elevations of the store. 00:26:38
As Nick noted, we did ask for a material variance, but just to be specific. 00:26:43
The store does comply with the changing of materials, the banding requirements, all of the visual effects of that Highlander 00:26:49
point. 00:26:53
And the code requirements that the. 00:26:58
The variance that we asked for was just specific to the windows. 00:27:01
We did provide windows above and beyond what would be typical in a. 00:27:05
Kroger or. 00:27:11
Store of this size. 00:27:12
We just could not get to that exact. 00:27:14
Requirement, but we presented that at the BCA and we did obtain the approval of that. 00:27:17
To the bottom there is the left elevation along Schreiber Rd. 00:27:24
And then this shows the rear elevation of the store as well as the. 00:27:29
Right elevation of the story, which is what would be a long highway. 00:27:34
150. 00:27:38
As part of that. 00:27:41
Project we did include a sign some sign package submittal. 00:27:43
Which? 00:27:47
There was a couple items we had asked for a variance for. Those were approved. 00:27:48
But we did. 00:27:53
We are providing monument signs at each of the intersections. 00:27:54
And those monument signs are in compliance with code requirements. 00:27:59
And then the last item was the development plan specific to the fuel center. 00:28:05
That fuel center is for 9 pumps. 00:28:11
While it is 9 individual pumps, they are double sided so they'll be a vehicle. 00:28:14
Two vehicles at each pond. 00:28:19
The fuel kiosk includes a. 00:28:21
About a 200 square foot. 00:28:24
Flock of payment window and they will have some outdoor limited outdoor merchandising. 00:28:27
That fuel center also fully complies with the lot coverage requirements. 00:28:34
And we did meet all of the landscape planting requirements with that plan. 00:28:39
And as noted before, detention has been provided off site. 00:28:43
Here is that area on the development plan. It is located there. 00:28:48
On the screen it's to the top right. 00:28:53
But it is located at the intersection of Hwy. 1. 00:28:55
50 in the new traffic signal in the new road A. 00:28:59
Being proposed there, so it is at that intersection there. 00:29:03
And here is a zoomed in view of that. 00:29:08
Pointing out where the canopy with the kiosk is kind of central there. 00:29:11
There is. 00:29:16
A small amount of parking for employees. 00:29:17
The tension has across the side. 00:29:20
And Nick did clarify. 00:29:23
He wants the restriction that there will be no direct access to proposed Rd. A. 00:29:26
That is how we've designed the project we are providing. 00:29:32
Secondary connections down into the Kroger parcel. 00:29:36
And then that connects over to Rd. A. 00:29:40
So we are in agreement with his request. 00:29:43
And we will provide the necessary crossover agreement or access easement, whatever is determined to be appropriate. 00:29:46
These are the elevations for the fuel Center for reference. 00:29:56
And then this again shows the locations of the monument signs for each lot and each of those monument signs will have gold pricing 00:30:02
as well. 00:30:07
That is an overview of the project. 00:30:13
There was a question about the environmental. 00:30:17
Kroger has hired an environmental consultant. They did do that environmental study. 00:30:24
They identified that the stream that cuts through the property is non jurisdictional. 00:30:29
Sounds like we just need to. 00:30:35
Ask them to submit that to the core and have them validate our findings. 00:30:37
Don't recall in the report if it. 00:30:42
If they've done that. 00:30:44
But we can certainly do that as a condition, so. 00:30:46
If that helps answer your question. 00:30:49
With that, I'll be happy to answer any questions. Anybody have any questions? 00:30:54
I have one that I had already asked Nick, but I'll ask it to view. So what are you doing with the other fuel station that you 00:30:59
already have? JC already has 1, so now we're going to have. 00:31:03
To and kind of have the market cornered up there or what I. 00:31:06
Don't think it's necessarily the intent of Kroger to have the market cornered or deliberately have two fuel stations. 00:31:10
This store is. 00:31:17
Being billed on a timeline with the traffic signal installation which? 00:31:19
Just for clarification of this board that is still. 00:31:23
A couple years out. That won't happen until 2028. 00:31:27
I don't think at this point Kroger has identified that they're closing the other fuel center, but that is a possibility. 00:31:33
At this point in time, it just kind of comes down to how those traffic. 00:31:40
Flows change. 00:31:44
And then additionally kind of that return on that initial investment, so? 00:31:45
As of right now, there is no plan to close it. 00:31:50
Or keep it open. It's still kind of being evaluated. 00:31:53
If that helps answer that question. 00:31:56
Anybody else? 00:31:58
I do. 00:31:59
How many feet? 00:32:01
Is that new? 00:32:02
Cut off 150 to the next stoplight you know. 00:32:04
Is it up there? 00:32:08
1000 feet. It's got to be over 1000 for them to approve it. 00:32:10
It can't be any closer than 1000 feet. 00:32:14
Yeah. So the cut is sort of. 00:32:16
You know, within a few 100 feet of being in the mid. 00:32:20
Between Luther Road and the old Vincennes Rd. which was kind of the controlling factor. 00:32:24
And it did fall and I don't remember the exact distance. 00:32:30
But it did fall. 00:32:34
Within, well, I actually have it on my plane. 00:32:36
It is. 00:32:39
1570. 00:32:40
And I I will correct what I just said. The other direction is 2780 feet, so not exactly half certainly. 00:32:43
Kind of trying to be at that midpoint. 00:32:51
What are they going to do with the? 00:32:53
Oh my God. 00:32:55
The existing JC door. 00:32:58
That is a leased property, so that would be up to that property owner to yeah. 00:33:01
To say what their plans are for that. 00:33:07
Anybody else? I have a question where you have an answer. 00:33:10
Do you know what the elevation? 00:33:14
Will be on the building versus the the 1:50 just approximately. 00:33:15
I do know that, but I don't have it with me. 00:33:22
But I think as as if you're familiar with the property. 00:33:27
150 would kind of be on the low side. Schreiber Rd. would be on the high side. 00:33:31
As I recall, we're kind of put that midpoint or close to midpoint between those two allocations. 00:33:36
I I do have questions. Go ahead. 00:33:43
And maybe for Nick or for technical review committee? 00:33:45
Was there any discussion or possibility? 00:33:49
To have a connector Rd. between Highlander Point and this property. 00:33:52
To alleviate. 00:33:58
People going back out on 150 or you? 00:34:01
I I see a. 00:34:04
Increase in Schreiber. 00:34:06
To get to the store. 00:34:08
The current doesn't do. I don't know if you want to. The current design that we put forth does not include any connectivity. I 00:34:11
didn't know if there was a place there for that. 00:34:15
Now we have not included that at this point in time. 00:34:20
OK, ****. 00:34:27
Would be was it? 00:34:32
We didn't. 00:34:35
Require or ask them to add. 00:34:36
Connection to Hwy. or to the Highlander Point Center. 00:34:40
A previous development. 00:34:45
For this property, the PUD had a connection to to that and the. 00:34:47
Owner of Highlander appointed at that time did not want one. Obviously this is a different project. 00:34:51
In a different location where? 00:34:59
Potential connection could occur additionally. 00:35:00
Hiring a point doesn't have any public. 00:35:04
Grows inside of it. 00:35:08
So we would be connecting them. 00:35:10
Public Rd. directly to a private stand. So there's there's a few things that need to be worked out to to accommodate that. It's 00:35:12
not out of question, but. 00:35:16
Yeah, I'm just thinking. 00:35:20
It might be good for both property owners. 00:35:22
Didn't involve the government at all, but. 00:35:25
It might be good for both. Thank you anybody else? 00:35:28
OK at this time. 00:35:33
Are going to open up to public comment, let me say that. 00:35:36
When you come up you spent you state your name and address. 00:35:39
And your comments come to the board. You're not allowed to ask the petitioner or the engineer anybody any comments, We'll get 00:35:43
those answers for you. 00:35:47
When you come up. So at this time, we'll open up the. 00:35:52
The floor to Anybody have any favorable comments for the project? 00:35:55
It looks like there's nobody there now. We'd like to have anybody in opposition. 00:36:01
To this project, please come forward, state your name and address. 00:36:05
Please come forward, Sir. 00:36:09
My name is Claude Harrelson. 00:36:17
Is that all you need? Just to name address please? 4059 Tanglewood Dr. Boyd Knobs. It's all Buck Creek. 00:36:21
My comments would be. 00:36:29
Going along with what he asked about the Connector Rd. 00:36:31
I would ask that that would be a. 00:36:34
Stipulation that they at least go with the previous owner to find out if this changes their minds since it's not a subdivision. 00:36:36
Going in but a commercial property? 00:36:42
Regardless if it's a public road or not. 00:36:44
Just to cut down traffic on Hwy. 150. 00:36:46
I know that anytime that you, you see a shopping center built when they close off that. 00:36:51
That go between then you have people going in. 00:36:55
Into the main traffic and then back out. 00:36:58
Which just intensifies the chance of a. 00:37:01
Accident. 00:37:04
The other thing would be my question would be. 00:37:06
If this could be billed without the filling station. 00:37:08
That's just going to add additional traffic. 00:37:12
And since Kroger doesn't know if they're going to keep it open, the old JC. 00:37:15
Or close it. 00:37:19
Then why not? 00:37:21
Build it without it. 00:37:22
That would eliminate a lot of in and out traffic that's not even going into the store. 00:37:24
Which would cut down. 00:37:29
Additional. 00:37:31
Accidents, possibly. 00:37:32
But. 00:37:35
If secondly, one open and one. 00:37:36
By not building this one, they'll leave that one open. 00:37:39
We won't have an empty station. 00:37:42
In 2029 or 2028 whenever they open it. 00:37:43
And then my what was this? 00:37:49
There was a includes a. 00:37:52
Drugstore. 00:37:54
WNS and a Starbucks. I didn't know what WNS? 00:37:55
W Why I'm in spirits. 00:37:58
Liquor store, it's going to be the package store, OK. 00:38:00
And one last thing was. 00:38:04
Did they address how they're building? 00:38:05
In and outs for Schreiber Rd. Is that going to be? 00:38:08
Is that going to be open? 00:38:12
To where that road you, you all know that roads in terrible shape. And if it's not, if something's not done before 2028? 00:38:14
That's definitely going to be. 00:38:20
Bad access point. 00:38:22
We go back and forth on that road just to avoid Hwy. 150. 00:38:24
But if there's going to be cars going in and out of that subdivision, shopping center. 00:38:28
I would ask that the. 00:38:33
Council do something restricting traffic on that. 00:38:34
It's a good idea to restrict the traffic into the shop into the gas station. 00:38:37
From that new road, but I would also think it would help to. 00:38:41
Limited from Schreiber Rd. as well if the county wanted to widen that road. 00:38:44
We should have started two years ago, agree. 00:38:49
It never happens that way, but you know. 00:38:52
Maybe you can do something about. 00:38:55
Limited in that road access. 00:38:57
We talk about it a lot. 00:38:59
That's all I have. Thank you. All right, thank you. 00:39:02
OK. Anybody else like to come forward? 00:39:05
Completely up state your name and address. Thank you very much. 00:39:08
Rick Ellis be I live at 7407 Jersey Park Rd. Floyd Knox. 00:39:14
I just like to. 00:39:18
Build back on what Frank said about the conjoining 2 properties, possibly Highlander Point and the. 00:39:20
JC Center I think have a lot of benefits traffic pattern wise. 00:39:25
Just community wise to people not have to go back out on the Interstate or. 00:39:29
Go back on Tracker Road and she eliminates some of the traffic off Shriver Rd. 00:39:33
I don't know how Krogers do their truck pattern for the delivery, so they'll be coming up one bit to your. 00:39:38
Traver, but with the design, it's probably going to be a little bit congested too, because there's. 00:39:44
Is very normal. I don't have a trucks a day they do probably. 00:39:48
20 to 50 trucks a day coming there every day. 00:39:51
Oh everything to use the proposed Rd. A being a private road, I wasn't. 00:39:55
Or excuse me, a public Rd. I wasn't aware of that. 00:40:00
How's that being funded and who's going to maintain that road is that? 00:40:03
You want to be a public girl float tenant anymore? 00:40:07
Floyd County got repaid. Floyd County is snow removal that the road going from 1:50 to shrubbery proposed. 00:40:09
Once they build it. 00:40:16
Being dedicated to the county. 00:40:17
They'll turn it over. 00:40:21
OK, but they will pay. 00:40:22
For the initial. 00:40:24
They're going to have to. We don't have the money. 00:40:25
I don't think we will. 00:40:29
Tax dollars participate. No crowded. 00:40:31
And that develop, you know, we're going to be limited as government to tell 2 private. 00:40:33
People, what to do? 00:40:38
But if you guys could get together and figure out a way it had a little conversation with Marley and bring it to Nick then. 00:40:39
It would probably be good for you and good for that, obvious good for everybody, community especially, but I just don't know where 00:40:46
you would put it. Support that. I've got some ideas where you can put it. 00:40:50
You guys work that out? 00:40:55
We'd be interested to listen to it, OK. 00:40:56
Appreciate it. Thanks. Thank you, Sir. 00:40:59
OK. Anybody else? 00:41:02
All right at this time. 00:41:06
Mr. John, if you'd like to come back and you got 5 minutes to talk about any of the issues that were brought up. 00:41:08
Thank you. I'll just clarify a couple items. I did confirm that as part of that environmental assessment that Kroger did. 00:41:15
That was submitted to the Court of Engineers and they did accept that that it is a non jurisdictional waterway. So. 00:41:24
If we haven't provided that to Nick, we will certainly do that and make it part of the record. 00:41:32
As to the shared connectivity to the new proposed Rd. A. 00:41:37
We're committed to continuing that discussion with that property owner, but. 00:41:43
At this time. 00:41:46
Absolutely agreed to connection. 00:41:48
And then the other gentleman, I think is. 00:41:52
Questions and comments were a little more. 00:41:55
Big picture, high level, not plan specific so I don't have anything. 00:41:57
Add to that. 00:42:02
With that, I'll be happy to answer any new questions that. 00:42:03
You may have. 00:42:06
All right. Any questions? 00:42:08
Mr. Campbell. 00:42:10
You might not build that. 00:42:12
Fuel new fuel station right away, correct? 00:42:13
Will be built if. 00:42:16
If it's decided not to be built, that would be considered an outline of the. The intent is that it will be an outline of the 00:42:18
Kroger Center. 00:42:22
We're here today to ask for permission to build that if for some reason that is not built. 00:42:27
When the store opens. 00:42:33
It could be built later or they may make a decision to sell off that property. 00:42:36
If that was to happen, that plan would have to come back before you for approval at that time. 00:42:41
That's correct. 00:42:47
Anybody else? 00:42:49
Yeah, go ahead, Sir. 00:42:51
So what is what is before this board is a zoning map amendment and a subdivision. 00:42:52
Control approval. 00:42:57
The conditional use for a fuel center on that lot was approved earlier tonight by the BZA. 00:43:00
So if the if it is rezone. 00:43:06
They can build it if they like. 00:43:08
Have the conditional use or they could decide to go a different way with their. 00:43:10
They're they're probably all right. Thank you, Nick. 00:43:14
Thank you, Mr. Campbell. 00:43:17
All righty. OK, that ends the public. 00:43:19
Comment portion at this time. 00:43:23
I'm looking for somebody to present a ballot for our. 00:43:25
I have a ballot. OK, Mr. Mr. It's got a ballot. Go ahead. And this is for FC 122542. 00:43:33
Yeah, 42. OK. All right, go ahead. 00:43:42
For Docket FC122542, JC Food Stores. 00:43:47
Under the Floyd County zoning ordinance. 00:43:53
2006. 00:43:56
Reviewing the zoning amendment petition, the Planning Commission, the county commissioner shall. 00:43:58
Pay reasonable regard to the following. 00:44:03
The Floyd County comprehensive plan in any applicable. 00:44:06
Adopted planning studies of reports. 00:44:10
Current conditions in the character. 00:44:12
Current structures and uses of each district. 00:44:15
The most desirable use. 00:44:18
Of which the land for each district is adapted. 00:44:19
The conservation of property values throughout Floyd County and responsible growth and development. 00:44:23
After careful reviews, Floyd County Planning Commission finds that. 00:44:29
One, the rezoning of the subject property is consistent with Floyd County Comprehensive Plan. 00:44:34
Because Floyd County follows smart growth principles for development with the following paramount. 00:44:40
Principles We want to preserve open space, farmland, natural beauty, and critical environmental. 00:44:46
Areas, yeah. 00:44:52
We want to strengthen and direct development toward existing communities. 00:44:54
We want to foster distinctive, attractive communities with strong sense of place. 00:44:58
#10. 00:45:04
The rezoning of the subject property is. 00:45:05
Consistent with current conditions in the character of current structures and uses in the area. 00:45:08
Because the property it's adjacent to the Highlander Point shopping center. 00:45:14
And there are large commercial strip, which is a large commercial strip. 00:45:19
Area, uh. 00:45:23
And it's on both sides of 1. 00:45:24
The. 00:45:28
Of this subject property is necessary for the most desirable use of land. 00:45:30
Because the property is in the economic growth area defined in Floyd County's comprehensive plan. 00:45:35
Is also ideally located on US150 near I-64. 00:45:41
The property is well suited for continuation of the shopping district. 00:45:46
And ancillary services in a fuel station. 00:45:50
#4 the rezoning of the subject. 00:45:55
Property will not. 00:45:57
Being juries to the value of the other properties in the area. 00:45:59
Because the rezoning. 00:46:02

And for some of you in the audience that were at the BCA meeting, you already heard this, so I apologize, but going over this so 00:04:57
that everybody understands how we handle the business before the Planning Commission. So the first thing that will occur is the 00:05:02
president of the Board, Mr. Unruh, will read the agenda item that will be covering. 00:05:07

Thereafter, the applicant or the petitioner will have 10 minutes to present their application and their request to the Planning 00:05:19
Commission Board. 00:05:23
From there, board members may ask the petitioner and applicant questions if they wish to at that point in time. 00:05:27
After that, public comments will be opened where those in favor and those in opposition will have an opportunity to speak. We go 00:05:33
those in favor first. 00:05:37
So everybody in the room that's in favor and wants to speak, we'll have 10 minutes. That's 10 minutes in total, not 10 minutes. 00:05:41
Per person. 00:05:47
And those in opposition will then speak next when called for, and that will also be a 10 minute section for all those in 00:05:49
opposition to the application. 00:05:53
The board can't expand those time periods, if appropriate, and that would be discussed at that point in time. 00:05:58
After that, the petitioner will have 5 minutes to come back up for rebuttal of any comments that were made or to answer any 00:06:04
questions that were made. 00:06:07
By the. 00:06:11
People in favor or in opposition. Thereafter, the board will have an opportunity to discuss the case. 00:06:12
In a motion and ballot will be presented by one of the board members for consideration and voting by the board. 00:06:17

OK so we will do FC 12254243. 00:08:41
45. 00:08:50
44 and 45. 00:08:53
Which are zoning map amendment? 00:08:56
Major subdivision request and two development plan. 00:08:58
And applications. 00:09:02
As mentioned, this is for the petitioner JC Food Stores. 00:09:05
Care of the Kroger Company. 00:09:09
Pertaining to the vacant land behind the current JC Food store between Hwy. 150 and Tribe Rd. 00:09:12
The zoning district is a PUD residential urban. 00:09:19
Based on they are requesting a general commercial. 00:09:24
Zone. This is in the Highlander Point Overlay district. 00:09:28
The applicant is proposing the development of the property and the three lots to include a grocery shopping center. 00:09:34
Fuel station and a lot dedicated for detention. 00:09:42
Lot A will be the lot of the grocery shopping center, which is 13.9 acres. 00:09:46
And we'll have 122,000 square foot marketplace. 00:09:53
Track B will be the. 00:09:59
Location of the detention. 00:10:02
Pond and. 00:10:04

Where there will be a traffic signal. 00:10:29
Traffic impact study. 00:10:32
Has been. 00:10:34
Included with this. 00:10:36
For this project and was conducted by Strand. 00:10:37
The design for the limited access break. 00:10:42
Has been. 00:10:45
Approved by NDOT. 00:10:46
The final approval will come once the design of the intersection is complete. 00:10:48
Which is federal? Which is a federally funded? 00:10:53
And we received the notice to proceed on that engineering. 00:10:56
This week. 00:11:00
Technical Review Committee was conducted for this project on October 23rd, 25. 00:11:02
And likewise, A plat committee was held. 00:11:10
December 16th, 2025. 00:11:13
The applicant has requested several variances development standard variances for the project, primarily focused on lot A, but 00:11:17
also. 00:11:21
Applicable to the other lots and some. 00:11:25
Cases. 00:11:28
These are for facade building materials, external sidewalks along Hwy. 150, the internal sidewalks and. 00:11:29
Total signage. 00:11:37
A substantial amount of the property was originally. 00:11:39
Add that all of those did receive approval at the BZA earlier tonight. 00:11:43
A substantial amount of the property was originally zoned General Commercial, with a small portion to the north. 00:11:50
Zoned residential, Urban. 00:11:57
It was approved to be rezone to a planned unit development with underlying RU zoning for a mixed-use development that includes 00:11:59
residential, urban. 00:12:03
Homes and commercial lots along 150 and that was FC 03/22/17. So that was just a few years ago. 00:12:08
Staff comments regarding the rezoning. 00:12:16
The rezoning of a subject property is consistent with Floyd County Comprehensive Plan. 00:12:19
Vision Floyd County prescribes following smart growth principles for development. 00:12:25
With the following paramount principles preserving open space and farmway and natural gravity and critical environmental areas. 00:12:30
Strengthen and direct development towards existing communities and to foster distinctive, attractive communities with strong sense 00:12:37
of place. 00:12:40
The proposal is adjacent to Hwy. 150. 00:12:45
And intersection 64 and is adjacent to the Highlander Point Center. 00:12:48
The will direct and strengthen development towards existing communities. 00:12:53
It is located in the Highlander Point commercial growth area. 00:12:57
Design guidelines for the overlay district as well as commercial development guidelines. 00:13:01
From the Floyd County zoning ordinance, foster attractive and distinctive developments. 00:13:06
Additionally, the property will substance was substantially zoned General commercial before the rezoning. 00:13:11
For mixed-use development. 00:13:18
The rezoning of the subject property is consistent with the current conditions of the in character of current structures. 00:13:21
And uses in the area because the property is adjacent to the Highlander point. 00:13:28
To highlight a point where the current JC store is located, large scale commercial and strip commercial is located there. 00:13:33
Rezoning of the subject property is necessary for the most desirable use of the land. 00:13:40
The property was initially substantially zoned general commercial. 00:13:46
It is an economic growth area identified in the comp plan. 00:13:50
It is ideally located near the Interstate and along Hwy. 150. The tract is large available. 00:13:53
Is the large tract available? Is particularly suited for large shopping center and ancillary services such as fuel stations. 00:14:00
The rezoning of the subject property will not be interest to the value of the properties in the area. 00:14:08
The rezoning is consistent with the original zoning. 00:14:13
Of the property which is not injurious to nearby properties. 00:14:17
Road use is consistent with long term and historic planning for the area. 00:14:20
And the rezoning of the subject property will support responsible growth and development. The proposed rezoning follows smart 00:14:25
growth principles, is consistent with nearby land uses and planning documents. 00:14:31
Adequate infrastructure is available nearby and can be brought to the property. 00:14:36
Staff recommended conditions would. 00:14:42
A written commitment. 00:14:44
Property owner will commit to working with the County on the Limited Access right away break permit. 00:14:46
The property owner will pay any required fee for the increased property value for these properties charged by and dot. 00:14:51
Where other state agencies? 00:14:58
As agreed to by the county. 00:15:00
The next application is a. 00:15:04
Major subdivision application. 00:15:07
Staff review for this is that the petitioner has provided A preliminary site plan. 00:15:14
In Platt, the traffic impact study was completed and provided adequate level of service once the intersection at Hwy. 150 is 00:15:19
completed. 00:15:24
The Soil and preliminary site report was completed for FC 3/22/17 for this property and indicated there was not a need for a phase 00:15:29
one environmental. 00:15:33
Were a geotechnical report and there are no wetlands or flood hazards present. 00:15:38
Lots meet size standards for general commercial zone with access from new roads and drives. 00:15:44
And the new public street is compliant with county standards. 00:15:49
But needs to be named. 00:15:53
A private access easement is needed to for the drive. Access to Lot C connection to the new public street is prohibited. 00:15:56
As it will interfere with the intersection with Hwy. 150. 00:16:03
Approval of the limited access break is pending with. 00:16:08
Sidewalks. 00:16:12
Provided throughout the development on either side of the public. Right away. Protective covenants should be provided for 00:16:13
maintenance of sidewalks. Regional retention. 00:16:18
Private access easement. 00:16:22
Use in maintenance. 00:16:24
The petitioners provided a preliminary plan for drainage. The development will utilize Lot B for. 00:16:27
Retention Basin. 00:16:33
Full drainage plane compliant with county stormwater regulations will be required prior to secondary approval. 00:16:34
The petition. 00:16:41
The petitioner will also need to provide documentation of declassification of the Blue Line stream from IDEM. 00:16:42
DMV The petitioner has provided letters of service for the following utilities and services. Harrison RMC for electric Highlander 00:16:49
fire District Fire Protection. 00:16:54
Floyd Knobs Water Company for water, Center Point Energy for Gas and Clark Dietz has provided the letter from New Albany 00:17:00
Wastewater. 00:17:03
For sewer service. 00:17:07
The petitioner has met the requirements of the. 00:17:09
Subdivision control ordinance for wastewater. 00:17:13
It provided the letter from. 00:17:16
Clark Dietz stating that there is available infrastructure and capacity. 00:17:18
Final approval of the connection will come from the City of New Albany. 00:17:23
The New Albany municipal wastewater. 00:17:28
This will was also confirmed at the TRC meeting. Staff recommendations for conditions. 00:17:31
Prior to secondary approval, provide the following complete drainage plan. 00:17:36
Provide documentation. Blue Lines stream has been classified, declassified from iodine and DNR. 00:17:41
Update Plan to include an access easement for Lot C. 00:17:47
Provide productive governance to include sidewalk maintenance and liability provisions. 00:17:50
Private access, easement use and maintenance, and regional detection use and maintenance. 00:17:55
Provide an easement to buffer the Creek to the northeast corner of the property, compliant with the design manual. 00:18:00
Provide documentation of. 00:18:07
Cooperation with Highlander Fire for the placement of fire hydrants. 00:18:08
And provide a new street name. 00:18:13
All right, on to the development plans. 00:18:18
The first one is for the shopping center. 00:18:25
As I mentioned, the petitioner has not met all the development standards for the district. 00:18:29
The petitioner has requested for development standards variances that were granted. 00:18:33
For signage. 00:18:39
Building facade, internal and external sidewalks. 00:18:41
Therefore, a waiver is required. 00:18:45
The waiver would be consistent with the spirit and intent of the Comprehensive Plan. 00:18:48
As it supports the development of the commercial growth area while on ensuring high quality designs. 00:18:54
And the waiver is also consistent with the intent of the. 00:19:12
Zoning district and Highlander overlay. The variances requested are not eliminating the required design elements, but modifying. 00:19:16
To the unique circumstances of the property and the scale of the development. 00:19:24
The development is a large scale commercial project located in the Highlander Point Overlay District and Growth area. There are 00:19:34
sufficient infrastructure to support development. 00:19:38
And has received several minor variances. 00:19:44
Recommending. 00:19:49
These. 00:19:51
Buffer yard or. 00:19:53
The fence raw material to be same material as primary structure as approved by staff. 00:19:56
The plan showed wood. 00:20:02
I would like to have a discussion with the developer we have. 00:20:05
Typically required. 00:20:08
Some masonry or vinyl or some some mix of materials for that element. 00:20:10
When when the facade is entirely masonry. 00:20:17
So the final application is FC-45 for the fuel station. 00:20:24
All of the same development standards. 00:20:34
Issues were presented in this case. 00:20:37
With the exception, it did not require the development standard variances except for the. 00:20:40
External sidewalk around 1:50. 00:20:47
That's all. I just kind of summarized that last one because it's the same as as the shopping center. 00:20:52
Do you have any questions for me before the applicant? 00:20:59
Any questions for Nick from the board? 00:21:03
I've got one. I kind of missed it. You'd mentioned the N dot right away Cut. You said that had been approved. We were. So the 00:21:05
design of it has been approved. We have a letter from. 00:21:09
Seymour office that they will prove it once we. 00:21:14
Submit all the application materials for the permit. It's a substantial permit that takes a substantial amount of time. 00:21:19
Some of those items will. 00:21:27
Come from the preliminary engineering that we just started so. 00:21:29
You know what? We'll receive it once we get everything in, but it'll take us several months to get everything in. 00:21:34
OK. 00:21:39
Has the stream officially been declassified? And we're just waiting on the letter or waiting for them to make the determination 00:21:41
that it's been so? 00:21:44
The applicants claimed that it was declassified. 00:21:48
OK, so. 00:21:51
We want to see the evidence of that. 00:21:52
That's what we're What do we do if it's not been declassified? 00:21:54
They haven't. They haven't met the condition, Yeah. 00:21:58
They're dead. They'll have to come back. 00:22:01
Yeah, it would be a different development. 00:22:03
And I don't think that the rezoning is contingent on that. 00:22:05
Good questions. Anybody else? 00:22:11
Any more questions? 00:22:12
Nick, thank you, Sir. 00:22:13
All righty, at this time we'll call the. 00:22:16
Applicant to come forward and state. 00:22:19
Name and your address again for the record. 00:22:22
Better remember this address system, Go ahead. 00:22:27
Good evening John Campbell with Heritage Engineering. 00:22:31
Address is 603 N Shore Dr. Ste. 204, Jeffersonville, IN 47130. 00:22:35
I did put together as noted before, kind of. 00:22:45
Break point presentation but I will just roll through it. 00:22:48
And then a offer to answer any questions. 00:22:52
So item number 2 on the agenda was the rezoning. 00:22:58
I think next staff report. 00:23:03
Clarified kind of what? 00:23:07
What the previous zoning was, what the existing zoning is. 00:23:09
We do want to. 00:23:13
To rezone that or re. 00:23:15
Kind of rezone it. 00:23:18
Took mostly what it was before. Is that general commercial GC zoning? 00:23:19
And that is to. 00:23:24
Allow us to. 00:23:26
Create a new public roadway through the property. 00:23:27
Create the three lots with the development lot or the main primary lot being the proposed. 00:23:30
JC Grocery and Fuel Center. 00:23:36
Well, with the 2 two lots of that being the JC Grocery and the fuel center. 00:23:39
And then that remaining lot being the. 00:23:44
Dedicated area for open space and detention. 00:23:47
And this is that zoning map. 00:23:51
This actually had shown the old zoning. I just printed that out to capture how much of this total site was previously zoned 00:23:54
General commercial. 00:23:58
They're to the top of the page. Is the area that originally was. 00:24:04
Are you zoning? 00:24:09
Again, we want to rezone this to that commercial zone. It is in keeping with that kind of existing commercial node that you have 00:24:11
there. 00:24:15
Inappropriate for this area. 00:24:20
Next item is the major subdivision. As previously mentioned, we're creating the three lots. 00:24:24
The primary lot, lot 1 as it's noted on the actual. 00:24:31
Subdivision. 00:24:36
Flat. Commercial subdivision Flat. 00:24:37
But it's actually noted as track day on the development plan is for the. 00:24:40
Proposed JC Grocery. 00:24:44
Which you can see there in Lot 1 Lot 2 which is noted as being track C on the development plan. 00:24:47
Is they're kind of midpoint along Hwy. 150 and that is for the fuel center, the proposed fuel center. 00:24:54
And then to the bottom of the page there is the track 3 or lot 3 which was noted as track. 00:25:02
Be on our development plan. 00:25:08
With the proposed Rd. A there. 00:25:11
Connecting. 00:25:14
Hwy. 150 to Schreiber Rd. 00:25:15
Kind of separating lots 1 and 2 with the open space and detention lot being lot 3. 00:25:18
We did prepare a. 00:25:26
Development plans specific to the grocery that is for 123,000 square foot grocery. 00:25:28
JC Grocery that will include internal to the store. 00:25:36
A pharmacy. A wine and spirits section of the store. 00:25:40
As well as a subtenant of a Starbucks. 00:25:45
User It does have 547 parking spaces specific to the store. 00:25:49
That lot does fully comply with the lot coverage requirements as well as the landscape planting requirements. 00:25:55
So we are fully in compliance with that. 00:26:04
And then as noted, the tension for that. 00:26:07
Main store is on the. 00:26:09
Off site open space lot which is lot 3 of that. 00:26:12
Commercial subdivision plan. 00:26:16
This is the overview of that showing the main grocery there. 00:26:19
That grocery will face the new proposed Rd. A. 00:26:23
We are providing the parking out front between Rd. A and the store. 00:26:28
And then the detention across the way there. 00:26:33
We did include in our submittal elevations of the store. 00:26:38
As Nick noted, we did ask for a material variance, but just to be specific. 00:26:43
The store does comply with the changing of materials, the banding requirements, all of the visual effects of that Highlander 00:26:49
point. 00:26:53
And the code requirements that the. 00:26:58
The variance that we asked for was just specific to the windows. 00:27:01
We did provide windows above and beyond what would be typical in a. 00:27:05
Kroger or. 00:27:11
Store of this size. 00:27:12
We just could not get to that exact. 00:27:14
Requirement, but we presented that at the BCA and we did obtain the approval of that. 00:27:17
To the bottom there is the left elevation along Schreiber Rd. 00:27:24
And then this shows the rear elevation of the store as well as the. 00:27:29
Right elevation of the story, which is what would be a long highway. 00:27:34
150. 00:27:38
As part of that. 00:27:41
Project we did include a sign some sign package submittal. 00:27:43
Which? 00:27:47
There was a couple items we had asked for a variance for. Those were approved. 00:27:48
But we did. 00:27:53
We are providing monument signs at each of the intersections. 00:27:54
And those monument signs are in compliance with code requirements. 00:27:59
And then the last item was the development plan specific to the fuel center. 00:28:05
That fuel center is for 9 pumps. 00:28:11
While it is 9 individual pumps, they are double sided so they'll be a vehicle. 00:28:14
Two vehicles at each pond. 00:28:19
The fuel kiosk includes a. 00:28:21
About a 200 square foot. 00:28:24
Flock of payment window and they will have some outdoor limited outdoor merchandising. 00:28:27
That fuel center also fully complies with the lot coverage requirements. 00:28:34
And we did meet all of the landscape planting requirements with that plan. 00:28:39
And as noted before, detention has been provided off site. 00:28:43
Here is that area on the development plan. It is located there. 00:28:48
On the screen it's to the top right. 00:28:53
But it is located at the intersection of Hwy. 1. 00:28:55
50 in the new traffic signal in the new road A. 00:28:59
Being proposed there, so it is at that intersection there. 00:29:03
And here is a zoomed in view of that. 00:29:08
Pointing out where the canopy with the kiosk is kind of central there. 00:29:11
There is. 00:29:16
A small amount of parking for employees. 00:29:17
The tension has across the side. 00:29:20
And Nick did clarify. 00:29:23
He wants the restriction that there will be no direct access to proposed Rd. A. 00:29:26
That is how we've designed the project we are providing. 00:29:32
Secondary connections down into the Kroger parcel. 00:29:36
And then that connects over to Rd. A. 00:29:40
So we are in agreement with his request. 00:29:43
And we will provide the necessary crossover agreement or access easement, whatever is determined to be appropriate. 00:29:46
These are the elevations for the fuel Center for reference. 00:29:56
And then this again shows the locations of the monument signs for each lot and each of those monument signs will have gold pricing 00:30:02
as well. 00:30:07
That is an overview of the project. 00:30:13
There was a question about the environmental. 00:30:17
Kroger has hired an environmental consultant. They did do that environmental study. 00:30:24
They identified that the stream that cuts through the property is non jurisdictional. 00:30:29
Sounds like we just need to. 00:30:35
Ask them to submit that to the core and have them validate our findings. 00:30:37
Don't recall in the report if it. 00:30:42
If they've done that. 00:30:44
But we can certainly do that as a condition, so. 00:30:46
If that helps answer your question. 00:30:49
With that, I'll be happy to answer any questions. Anybody have any questions? 00:30:54
I have one that I had already asked Nick, but I'll ask it to view. So what are you doing with the other fuel station that you 00:30:59
already have? JC already has 1, so now we're going to have. 00:31:03
To and kind of have the market cornered up there or what I. 00:31:06
Don't think it's necessarily the intent of Kroger to have the market cornered or deliberately have two fuel stations. 00:31:10
This store is. 00:31:17
Being billed on a timeline with the traffic signal installation which? 00:31:19
Just for clarification of this board that is still. 00:31:23
A couple years out. That won't happen until 2028. 00:31:27
I don't think at this point Kroger has identified that they're closing the other fuel center, but that is a possibility. 00:31:33
At this point in time, it just kind of comes down to how those traffic. 00:31:40
Flows change. 00:31:44
And then additionally kind of that return on that initial investment, so? 00:31:45
As of right now, there is no plan to close it. 00:31:50
Or keep it open. It's still kind of being evaluated. 00:31:53
If that helps answer that question. 00:31:56
Anybody else? 00:31:58
I do. 00:31:59
How many feet? 00:32:01
Is that new? 00:32:02
Cut off 150 to the next stoplight you know. 00:32:04
Is it up there? 00:32:08
1000 feet. It's got to be over 1000 for them to approve it. 00:32:10
It can't be any closer than 1000 feet. 00:32:14
Yeah. So the cut is sort of. 00:32:16
You know, within a few 100 feet of being in the mid. 00:32:20
Between Luther Road and the old Vincennes Rd. which was kind of the controlling factor. 00:32:24
And it did fall and I don't remember the exact distance. 00:32:30
But it did fall. 00:32:34
Within, well, I actually have it on my plane. 00:32:36
It is. 00:32:39
1570. 00:32:40
And I I will correct what I just said. The other direction is 2780 feet, so not exactly half certainly. 00:32:43
Kind of trying to be at that midpoint. 00:32:51
What are they going to do with the? 00:32:53
Oh my God. 00:32:55
The existing JC door. 00:32:58
That is a leased property, so that would be up to that property owner to yeah. 00:33:01
To say what their plans are for that. 00:33:07
Anybody else? I have a question where you have an answer. 00:33:10
Do you know what the elevation? 00:33:14
Will be on the building versus the the 1:50 just approximately. 00:33:15
I do know that, but I don't have it with me. 00:33:22
But I think as as if you're familiar with the property. 00:33:27
150 would kind of be on the low side. Schreiber Rd. would be on the high side. 00:33:31
As I recall, we're kind of put that midpoint or close to midpoint between those two allocations. 00:33:36
I I do have questions. Go ahead. 00:33:43
And maybe for Nick or for technical review committee? 00:33:45
Was there any discussion or possibility? 00:33:49
To have a connector Rd. between Highlander Point and this property. 00:33:52
To alleviate. 00:33:58
People going back out on 150 or you? 00:34:01
I I see a. 00:34:04
Increase in Schreiber. 00:34:06
To get to the store. 00:34:08
The current doesn't do. I don't know if you want to. The current design that we put forth does not include any connectivity. I 00:34:11
didn't know if there was a place there for that. 00:34:15
Now we have not included that at this point in time. 00:34:20
OK, ****. 00:34:27
Would be was it? 00:34:32
We didn't. 00:34:35
Require or ask them to add. 00:34:36
Connection to Hwy. or to the Highlander Point Center. 00:34:40
A previous development. 00:34:45
For this property, the PUD had a connection to to that and the. 00:34:47
Owner of Highlander appointed at that time did not want one. Obviously this is a different project. 00:34:51
In a different location where? 00:34:59
Potential connection could occur additionally. 00:35:00
Hiring a point doesn't have any public. 00:35:04
Grows inside of it. 00:35:08
So we would be connecting them. 00:35:10
Public Rd. directly to a private stand. So there's there's a few things that need to be worked out to to accommodate that. It's 00:35:12
not out of question, but. 00:35:16
Yeah, I'm just thinking. 00:35:20
It might be good for both property owners. 00:35:22
Didn't involve the government at all, but. 00:35:25
It might be good for both. Thank you anybody else? 00:35:28
OK at this time. 00:35:33
Are going to open up to public comment, let me say that. 00:35:36
When you come up you spent you state your name and address. 00:35:39
And your comments come to the board. You're not allowed to ask the petitioner or the engineer anybody any comments, We'll get 00:35:43
those answers for you. 00:35:47
When you come up. So at this time, we'll open up the. 00:35:52
The floor to Anybody have any favorable comments for the project? 00:35:55
It looks like there's nobody there now. We'd like to have anybody in opposition. 00:36:01
To this project, please come forward, state your name and address. 00:36:05
Please come forward, Sir. 00:36:09
My name is Claude Harrelson. 00:36:17
Is that all you need? Just to name address please? 4059 Tanglewood Dr. Boyd Knobs. It's all Buck Creek. 00:36:21
My comments would be. 00:36:29
Going along with what he asked about the Connector Rd. 00:36:31
I would ask that that would be a. 00:36:34
Stipulation that they at least go with the previous owner to find out if this changes their minds since it's not a subdivision. 00:36:36
Going in but a commercial property? 00:36:42
Regardless if it's a public road or not. 00:36:44
Just to cut down traffic on Hwy. 150. 00:36:46
I know that anytime that you, you see a shopping center built when they close off that. 00:36:51
That go between then you have people going in. 00:36:55
Into the main traffic and then back out. 00:36:58
Which just intensifies the chance of a. 00:37:01
Accident. 00:37:04
The other thing would be my question would be. 00:37:06
If this could be billed without the filling station. 00:37:08
That's just going to add additional traffic. 00:37:12
And since Kroger doesn't know if they're going to keep it open, the old JC. 00:37:15
Or close it. 00:37:19
Then why not? 00:37:21
Build it without it. 00:37:22
That would eliminate a lot of in and out traffic that's not even going into the store. 00:37:24
Which would cut down. 00:37:29
Additional. 00:37:31
Accidents, possibly. 00:37:32
But. 00:37:35
If secondly, one open and one. 00:37:36
By not building this one, they'll leave that one open. 00:37:39
We won't have an empty station. 00:37:42
In 2029 or 2028 whenever they open it. 00:37:43
And then my what was this? 00:37:49
There was a includes a. 00:37:52
Drugstore. 00:37:54
WNS and a Starbucks. I didn't know what WNS? 00:37:55
W Why I'm in spirits. 00:37:58
Liquor store, it's going to be the package store, OK. 00:38:00
And one last thing was. 00:38:04
Did they address how they're building? 00:38:05
In and outs for Schreiber Rd. Is that going to be? 00:38:08
Is that going to be open? 00:38:12
To where that road you, you all know that roads in terrible shape. And if it's not, if something's not done before 2028? 00:38:14
That's definitely going to be. 00:38:20
Bad access point. 00:38:22
We go back and forth on that road just to avoid Hwy. 150. 00:38:24
But if there's going to be cars going in and out of that subdivision, shopping center. 00:38:28
I would ask that the. 00:38:33
Council do something restricting traffic on that. 00:38:34
It's a good idea to restrict the traffic into the shop into the gas station. 00:38:37
From that new road, but I would also think it would help to. 00:38:41
Limited from Schreiber Rd. as well if the county wanted to widen that road. 00:38:44
We should have started two years ago, agree. 00:38:49
It never happens that way, but you know. 00:38:52
Maybe you can do something about. 00:38:55
Limited in that road access. 00:38:57
We talk about it a lot. 00:38:59
That's all I have. Thank you. All right, thank you. 00:39:02
OK. Anybody else like to come forward? 00:39:05
Completely up state your name and address. Thank you very much. 00:39:08
Rick Ellis be I live at 7407 Jersey Park Rd. Floyd Knox. 00:39:14
I just like to. 00:39:18
Build back on what Frank said about the conjoining 2 properties, possibly Highlander Point and the. 00:39:20
JC Center I think have a lot of benefits traffic pattern wise. 00:39:25
Just community wise to people not have to go back out on the Interstate or. 00:39:29
Go back on Tracker Road and she eliminates some of the traffic off Shriver Rd. 00:39:33
I don't know how Krogers do their truck pattern for the delivery, so they'll be coming up one bit to your. 00:39:38
Traver, but with the design, it's probably going to be a little bit congested too, because there's. 00:39:44
Is very normal. I don't have a trucks a day they do probably. 00:39:48
20 to 50 trucks a day coming there every day. 00:39:51
Oh everything to use the proposed Rd. A being a private road, I wasn't. 00:39:55
Or excuse me, a public Rd. I wasn't aware of that. 00:40:00
How's that being funded and who's going to maintain that road is that? 00:40:03
You want to be a public girl float tenant anymore? 00:40:07
Floyd County got repaid. Floyd County is snow removal that the road going from 1:50 to shrubbery proposed. 00:40:09
Once they build it. 00:40:16
Being dedicated to the county. 00:40:17
They'll turn it over. 00:40:21
OK, but they will pay. 00:40:22
For the initial. 00:40:24
They're going to have to. We don't have the money. 00:40:25
I don't think we will. 00:40:29
Tax dollars participate. No crowded. 00:40:31
And that develop, you know, we're going to be limited as government to tell 2 private. 00:40:33
People, what to do? 00:40:38
But if you guys could get together and figure out a way it had a little conversation with Marley and bring it to Nick then. 00:40:39
It would probably be good for you and good for that, obvious good for everybody, community especially, but I just don't know where 00:40:46
you would put it. Support that. I've got some ideas where you can put it. 00:40:50
You guys work that out? 00:40:55
We'd be interested to listen to it, OK. 00:40:56
Appreciate it. Thanks. Thank you, Sir. 00:40:59
OK. Anybody else? 00:41:02
All right at this time. 00:41:06
Mr. John, if you'd like to come back and you got 5 minutes to talk about any of the issues that were brought up. 00:41:08
Thank you. I'll just clarify a couple items. I did confirm that as part of that environmental assessment that Kroger did. 00:41:15
That was submitted to the Court of Engineers and they did accept that that it is a non jurisdictional waterway. So. 00:41:24
If we haven't provided that to Nick, we will certainly do that and make it part of the record. 00:41:32
As to the shared connectivity to the new proposed Rd. A. 00:41:37
We're committed to continuing that discussion with that property owner, but. 00:41:43
At this time. 00:41:46
Absolutely agreed to connection. 00:41:48
And then the other gentleman, I think is. 00:41:52
Questions and comments were a little more. 00:41:55
Big picture, high level, not plan specific so I don't have anything. 00:41:57
Add to that. 00:42:02
With that, I'll be happy to answer any new questions that. 00:42:03
You may have. 00:42:06
All right. Any questions? 00:42:08
Mr. Campbell. 00:42:10
You might not build that. 00:42:12
Fuel new fuel station right away, correct? 00:42:13
Will be built if. 00:42:16
If it's decided not to be built, that would be considered an outline of the. The intent is that it will be an outline of the 00:42:18
Kroger Center. 00:42:22
We're here today to ask for permission to build that if for some reason that is not built. 00:42:27
When the store opens. 00:42:33
It could be built later or they may make a decision to sell off that property. 00:42:36
If that was to happen, that plan would have to come back before you for approval at that time. 00:42:41
That's correct. 00:42:47
Anybody else? 00:42:49
Yeah, go ahead, Sir. 00:42:51
So what is what is before this board is a zoning map amendment and a subdivision. 00:42:52
Control approval. 00:42:57
The conditional use for a fuel center on that lot was approved earlier tonight by the BZA. 00:43:00
So if the if it is rezone. 00:43:06
They can build it if they like. 00:43:08
Have the conditional use or they could decide to go a different way with their. 00:43:10
They're they're probably all right. Thank you, Nick. 00:43:14
Thank you, Mr. Campbell. 00:43:17
All righty. OK, that ends the public. 00:43:19
Comment portion at this time. 00:43:23
I'm looking for somebody to present a ballot for our. 00:43:25
I have a ballot. OK, Mr. Mr. It's got a ballot. Go ahead. And this is for FC 122542. 00:43:33
Yeah, 42. OK. All right, go ahead. 00:43:42
For Docket FC122542, JC Food Stores. 00:43:47
Under the Floyd County zoning ordinance. 00:43:53
2006. 00:43:56
Reviewing the zoning amendment petition, the Planning Commission, the county commissioner shall. 00:43:58
Pay reasonable regard to the following. 00:44:03
The Floyd County comprehensive plan in any applicable. 00:44:06
Adopted planning studies of reports. 00:44:10
Current conditions in the character. 00:44:12
Current structures and uses of each district. 00:44:15
The most desirable use. 00:44:18
Of which the land for each district is adapted. 00:44:19
The conservation of property values throughout Floyd County and responsible growth and development. 00:44:23
After careful reviews, Floyd County Planning Commission finds that. 00:44:29
One, the rezoning of the subject property is consistent with Floyd County Comprehensive Plan. 00:44:34
Because Floyd County follows smart growth principles for development with the following paramount. 00:44:40
Principles We want to preserve open space, farmland, natural beauty, and critical environmental. 00:44:46
Areas, yeah. 00:44:52
We want to strengthen and direct development toward existing communities. 00:44:54
We want to foster distinctive, attractive communities with strong sense of place. 00:44:58
#10. 00:45:04
The rezoning of the subject property is. 00:45:05
Consistent with current conditions in the character of current structures and uses in the area. 00:45:08
Because the property it's adjacent to the Highlander Point shopping center. 00:45:14
And there are large commercial strip, which is a large commercial strip. 00:45:19
Area, uh. 00:45:23
And it's on both sides of 1. 00:45:24
The. 00:45:28
Of this subject property is necessary for the most desirable use of land. 00:45:30
Because the property is in the economic growth area defined in Floyd County's comprehensive plan. 00:45:35
Is also ideally located on US150 near I-64. 00:45:41
The property is well suited for continuation of the shopping district. 00:45:46
And ancillary services in a fuel station. 00:45:50
#4 the rezoning of the subject. 00:45:55
Property will not. 00:45:57
Being juries to the value of the other properties in the area. 00:45:59
Because the rezoning. 00:46:02
Is not injurious to. 00:46:07
Nearby properties or the proposal is consistent with long-term historic planning of the 150 corridor. 00:46:09
The rezoning of the subject property will support. 00:46:16
Responsible growth and development in the area because. 00:46:20
Proposed rezoning follows the county smart growth principles and are consistent with nearby land use. 00:46:23
Adequate infrastructure is available. 00:46:30
Nearby and can be brought to the project. 00:46:33
Upon careful reviews, Floyd County Planning Commission hereby makes a favorable. 00:46:36
Recommendation to. 00:46:41
