I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America. 00:00:09

All righty, both sets. 00:01:19
No, there's there's only one set. That's a typo. 00:01:22
And no announcements. 00:01:26
No old business. 00:01:29
On new business and I think. 00:01:31
Frank, you're going to address this at this time, agenda item number one. 00:01:33
If you'll take the floor for us, please. 00:01:38
So for Docket FC 4/26/22 with petitioner Dennis Lopez Junior. 00:01:43
On a location of 2001 Spring Creek Dr. Fluids Knobs. 00:01:48
There was a request for development standards variance to encroach on the build limit line. 00:01:52
In the zoning district of Residential Suburban, this petition has been withdrawn. 00:01:56
The applicant submitted a letter to be read before the board. 00:02:00
Dennis and I wish to withdraw our request for permit approval on the proposed garage we submitted for 2001 Spring Creek Drive. 00:02:04
We would like the committee to know that when we purchased our forever home, we were told that there was a previous. 00:02:10
Non existent HOA and it is not in effect. 00:02:15
We would not have purchased this home knowing we had such restrictions from 40 years ago. 00:02:18
We thought we were going through the proper channels by having our land surveyed, utilities mapped out, permits obtained, plans 00:02:23
drawn up and et cetera. 00:02:25
Our deed had no conveyance attached and we were completely taken off guard. 00:02:29
With all the said, since this seems to be what our community wants, we were. 00:02:33
Sorry, we want to be good neighbors and withdraw our request at this time. 00:02:36
Thank you. 00:02:39
Miss Lopez. 00:02:41
Alright, thank you, Frank. 00:02:42
OK. 00:02:44
At this time, we're going to. 00:02:46
Agenda item number 2, Docket FC-04-26. 00:02:49
Dash 24 zoning map amendment. 00:02:54
Advocate Jason Deville. 00:02:57
You'd like to take over, Frank? 00:02:59
So I have a presentation that the applicant has. 00:03:02
Submit it. 00:03:07
So docket number FC-42624. 00:03:20
Petitioner Jason Deville, location 3674 Scottsville Rd. Floyd's Knobs. 00:03:24
A request for a zoning map amendment. A rezone from neighborhood commercial to multifamily. 00:03:29
With the current zoning district as neighborhood commercial. 00:03:34
The petitioner is requesting a change in zoning from neighborhood commercial to multifamily for senior. 00:03:38
Housing Patio. 00:03:42
The proposed site is 4.05 acres, located at the southeastern corner of Lafayette Parkway and Scottsville Rd. 00:03:44
Just South and West of the chapters living of Floyds Knobs Independent and assisted living facility. 00:03:50
These sites are located just north of the Paoli Price commercial corridor and to the east of Scottsville Rd. 00:03:55
All within the Lafayette Township. 00:04:00
The conceptual proposal for the site is for an upscale 55 plus senior living community consisting of 24 single story. 00:04:02
A joint patio homes units. 00:04:09
Arranged in four buildings of 6 units each with a dedicated Community Center building. 00:04:11
For the exclusive use of residence. 00:04:16
For staff comments. 00:04:18
The Vision Floyd County Comprehensive Plan discusses this. 00:04:20
Commercial corridor at Paley Pike as a smaller commercial area. Page 44. 00:04:23
With the intent to provide local commercial needs for residents. 00:04:28
This is comparable to a Main Street or town square style for developments providing commercial and recreational amenities for 00:04:31
nearby neighborhoods. 00:04:34
The vision for the Lafayette Township on page 54. 00:04:38
Encourages concentration of commercial use on highlighter point Paoli. 00:04:41
Infrastructure permitting. 00:04:45
Further residential. 00:04:47
Uses are to be directed toward existing infrastructure and to be discouraged within agricultural areas. 00:04:48
Placement of mid to low density patio homes encourages the use of Paley Pike. 00:04:54
Not just as strip malls along the highway, but as a village center with a supportive neighborhood. 00:04:58
The comprehensive plan further indicates a preference within its community survey for housing options for senior citizens at 80% 00:05:03
favorability. That's on page 24. 00:05:07
This was then identified under the Places to Live theme as an action item. 00:05:11
To encourage creation of senior housing partnerships. 00:05:15
With senior oriented human service providers countrywide, including local municipal partners. 00:05:17
That's on page 35. 00:05:22
Lastly, the comprehensive plan outlines residential growth areas on page 42. 00:05:23
And encourages that high density patio style housing be considered in areas in close proximity to main commercial areas. 00:05:27
Multifamily development should be directed towards established urban areas based on proximity to existing services and density. 00:05:34
Multifamily development should be limited to existing zoned areas or when development can provide immediate access to commercial. 00:05:40
Alternate forms of transportation. 00:05:46
And is incorporated as part of innovative conservation design. 00:05:48
The proposed site is in proximity to a main commercial area and has close access to. 00:05:52
Unassisted and independent living facility. 00:05:57
#1 The rezoning of the subject property is consistent with the Floyd County Comprehensive Plan because. 00:06:01
The conceptual proposal encourages development near the Paoli Pike commercial corridor. 00:06:06
Proposes increased residential use away from agricultural areas. 00:06:10
Proposes residential uses near existing infrastructure. 00:06:14
Encourages a sense of place. 00:06:17
Aligns with the community preferences for housing options for senior citizens. 00:06:19
Adheres to the action item to encourage creation. 00:06:22
Of senior housing partnerships. 00:06:25
And places patio style housing in close proximity to a main commercial area as explicitly requested by the Comprehensive Plan. 00:06:27
#2. 00:06:33
The rezoning of the subject property is consistent with the current conditions and the character of. 00:06:34
Current structures and uses in the area because the Paoli Pike corridor provides various commercial amenities to the South. 00:06:38
While an existing assisted and independent living facility is located to the north. 00:06:44
At least item 3, the rezoning of the subject property, is necessary for the most desirable use of the land because the current lot 00:06:47
contains 2 underutilized buildings. 00:06:52
While this proposal concentrates housing near amenities and places residents in an area where they will generate fewer traffic 00:06:57
strip trips. 00:07:00
Then if these were single family homes. 00:07:04
The concentration of residential units here also preserves land compared to the same number of units were created in the lower 00:07:06
density zone. 00:07:09
Item 4 The rezoning of the subject property will not be injurious to the value of other properties in the area because. 00:07:12
The commercial corridor is already a more intensive use and there are existing patio homes for independent living located along. 00:07:18
Magnolia Lane to the east of the proposed site. 00:07:24
Item 5. 00:07:27
The rezoning of the subject property will support responsible growth and development in the area because. 00:07:28
Residential units are concentrated in a way that ensures units have adequate infrastructure. 00:07:33
This concentration of units requires less public infrastructure per housing unit. 00:07:37
That the county has to maintain compared to lower density developments. 00:07:41
There are commercial amenities in close proximity, cutting down on the number of traffic trips generated from these added 00:07:44
residential units. 00:07:48
For staff recommendations. 00:07:51
Whereas the proposal matches with the spirit of the comprehensive plan, staff has no recommended conditions. 00:07:53
I'd like to also go through. 00:07:58
We've got a conceptual plan, there's a more updated one that the applicant will show. 00:08:00
This is. 00:08:05
A view of the site looking east from Scottsville Rd. 00:08:07
This is another view looking used from Scottsville Rd. 00:08:10
This is looking S from Lafayette Parkway. You can see the Magnolia Independent living homes. 00:08:14
To the left there. 00:08:19
View of the assisted living. 00:08:21
Facility just north of the site. 00:08:23
View the Commuter Sorry commercial area to the South of the site. 00:08:25
The Berry twist there. 00:08:29
View the commercial area to the southwest on the other side of Scottsville Rd. which is. 00:08:31
The coffee crossing. Some other uses there. 00:08:36
All right, that's all I have. 00:08:42
All righty, anybody got any questions for? 00:08:45
Frank at this time. 00:08:48
OK, at this time we'd like to open up. 00:08:50
No questions. 00:08:54
John yeah, we, we surveyed this about 7 years ago. I'm going to. 00:08:55
Recuse myself from this understand. 00:08:59
And let the record show that Mister Welch has shown up. He is present. 00:09:05
We got one leaving and one coming, so that's pretty good. 00:09:11
All righty at this time. 00:09:15
With no other questions, we'll open the floor to the applicant. 00:09:17
An applicant has 10 minutes to present their. 00:09:22
Thorough project. 00:09:24
State your name. 00:09:27
Address for the record For the record, John Craft, law firm of Young Landers and Craft, 126 W Spring St. New Albany, appearing on 00:09:28
behalf of the applicant. 00:09:32
As indicated, this is a zoning change and of course, in this particular instance, it's a downside. 00:09:37
Uh, taking it from neighborhood commercial, when you look at the uses by right? 00:09:43
What ultimately will be there will be much more favorable to traffic patterns. 00:09:47
Likewise this because it comes to you on a rezone. 00:09:53
Come to you for a recommendation, favorable. 00:09:56
Unfavorable or no recommendation and then ultimately. 00:09:59
Mr. Loop and his fellow Commissioners have the opportunity then. 00:10:02
To look at those same 5 conditions with respect to the rezoning. 00:10:06
Those, as indicated in the staff report, Mr. Walden did a very good job of doing my job. 00:10:10
For me, because ultimately. 00:10:16
In this particular instance, this is one that. 00:10:17
Fits. You can check all the boxes for a change as opposed to. 00:10:20
Me having to convince you to check those boxes. 00:10:25
But those boxes primarily are set up by. 00:10:28
3674603. 00:10:31
Dealing with the comprehensive plan. 00:10:33
Again, Mr. Walden has done a very good job of dealing with. 00:10:35
What this is where it's close to. 00:10:38
Proximity to other uses. 00:10:40
Current conditions and character of current structures. The photos that he showed you there at the end. 00:10:43
Primarily give you that same impression of what all of those surrounding uses are. 00:10:48
What all those surrounding users are? 00:10:53
And then likewise most desirable use for which the land is adapted. 00:10:56
Conservation of property values throughout the jurisdiction. 00:11:00
As well as responsible development and growth. 00:11:04
As indicated by. 00:11:07
Mr. Walden, Mr. Neville, Mr. Jason Neville is here this evening to present you with a. 00:11:09
A particular. 00:11:15
Plan of what's going to happen he's got a PowerPoint presentation. I'll let him do that but before I do, I would like to make. 00:11:17
Part of the record. 00:11:23
A letter from Chad Motsinger, who is a licensed real estate broker. 00:11:25
To address the item particular as to the most desirable use. 00:11:29
As well as conservation. 00:11:33
Of value properties throughout the jurisdiction. 00:11:35
I'm going to read it quickly because of my time limitations, but dear Floyd County Building Development Services. 00:11:38
In response to Agenda Item 2, Docket FC 042624 Zoning Map amendment. 00:11:43
Applicant is requesting A zoning map. 00:11:50
Change. 00:11:52
From Neighborhood Commercial. 00:11:53
To multifamily for a proposed senior patio community. 00:11:55
Applicant Jason The Bill site, 3674 Scottsville Rd. Floyd Knox IN. 00:11:58
And the parcel number and I won't read that. 00:12:04
As a resident of the Woods of Lafayette and a local realtor, it's my personal opinion and belief that the best use. 00:12:06
Of this property. 00:12:12
Is in fact the proposed use. 00:12:13
There have been many situations where I've been helping clients who are. 00:12:15
From our area. 00:12:19
In their search for more manageable housing. 00:12:20
Who would prefer to stay close to their family and hometown? 00:12:22
As opposed to moving away in search of similar developments. 00:12:26
This would help fill that gap. 00:12:29
In closing, it is my opinion that the development of this standard in quality. 00:12:31
Will only increase the value of the surrounding properties by servicing this much needed local housing. 00:12:36
Shortage. 00:12:42
For our senior residents. 00:12:43
Sincerely yours chat mot singer and likewise I would like to make. 00:12:45
That part of the record. 00:12:49
And then I'll let Mr. Nabil come up and address. 00:12:50
Is PowerPoint. 00:12:52
Thanks. Thank you, John. 00:12:56
All right. 00:13:05
Thank you. Hello. 00:13:09
Just state your name and your address for record, Jason. 00:13:11
5511 Moser Knob Rd. Floyd's Knobs, Indiana. 00:13:15
Lifelong resident Floyd Knotts. 00:13:21
4th generation owner of this proposed site. 00:13:23
And property Appreciate the consideration for the proposed development. 00:13:27
I feel like I spent a lifetime putting this together. 00:13:33
Uh, here we go. 00:13:37
The specific site mapped out here. 00:13:40
And I've shared in the presentation with everybody. 00:13:43
4.05 acres, the original Berry Twist and my grandparents Sylvan and Jane Neville. 00:13:46
Ordered by Scottsville Rd. Lafayette Parkway, Magnolia Lane. 00:13:51
Book Heating and cooling Neighboring. 00:13:55
Chapters Living. 00:13:57
Facility. 00:13:59
With regard to the history on the site. 00:14:05
This site has always. 00:14:08
Had a history of commerce and community for 100 plus years. 00:14:10
In my family. 00:14:14
From 1920 to 1970. 00:14:16
It was the Neville family Berry market. 00:14:18
Thriving marketplace for the exchange. Local farmers. 00:14:21
And merchant buyers from around Chicago, Cincinnati, and so forth that they trucked all over. I've got some images there of former 00:14:25
building structures. 00:14:29
Uh, packing labels, some of the the trucks and everything. 00:14:33
Also from 1978 to 2000. 00:14:37
The ice cream shop. The Berry Twist. 00:14:40
Which my family started. 00:14:42
Which became a community hub and icon for their still in operation 48 plus years. 00:14:45
In the community, so very excited and proud about that. 00:14:52
And hopefully proposed in 2026. Proposed. 00:14:56
Senior Community. 00:15:01
And I shared the photos there to add a little bit of humor there for you. From 1981. The original Barry twist with a gravel 00:15:02
parking lot. 00:15:07
And then me, my sister and my cousin. 00:15:11
In 1982. 00:15:15
With our tall socks. 00:15:17
1980s. 00:15:19
Attire and everything for. 00:15:21
Entertainment. 00:15:23
The proposed development in everything. 00:15:25
I went around and researched for the patio home development, pulling from local Design element. 00:15:29
The historic schoolhouse from across the street. 00:15:34
Utilizing the. 00:15:39
Stone Foundation. The architectural brick design elements. 00:15:41
That you'll see in the schoolhouse there. 00:15:45
For the exterior of the patio home design. 00:15:48
Schubert Corner the. 00:15:52
Cable market awnings for front covered patio. 00:15:55
Sylvan and Jane Neville's home. 00:15:59
The X grid windows incorporating into. 00:16:02
Garden windows. 00:16:06
And the original Berry shed that was there. 00:16:08
The rectangular market and everything that they utilized. 00:16:11
For the Community Center. 00:16:15
So this is. 00:16:20
The proposed. 00:16:21
Elevation and everything of the patio home. 00:16:25
Here again, like we had shared before. 00:16:29
Four pods of 6. 00:16:33
Around the property. 00:16:35
With these. 00:16:37
All brick. Full brick. 00:16:39
Stone Foundation. 00:16:41
Each individual. 00:16:43
Unit. 00:16:45
Having. 00:16:46
Different colored brick all in I. 00:16:47
With cohesive color flow and everything for that. 00:16:50
And with those market awnings and everything that we had. 00:16:55
And together also. 00:16:58
So those are the different elevations and everything we had initially. 00:16:59
And the units are single story. You'll see the the three small windows above. 00:17:04
It's just for a. 00:17:09
Elevated. 00:17:10
In the great room and everything that you'll see on the next slide here into the kitchen. 00:17:13
For it so it slopes, so that provides additional lighting and everything. 00:17:19
Into the area there. 00:17:23
All of the homes will be ADA accessible. 00:17:25
12109 square feet, two-bedroom, 2 bath. 00:17:28
Covered rear patio. 00:17:32
With kitchen access. 00:17:34
I've toured and walked through. 00:17:36
The chapters Living independent living villas. 00:17:40
In the back there off of Magnolia Lane also. 00:17:45
Some of their back patios you have to walk through the master bedroom to get to and others. 00:17:48
This is a very convenient off of the kitchen. 00:17:54
Directly for guests so they. 00:17:58
Guests wouldn't have to walk through a lesser bedroom. 00:17:59
To get to the patio also. 00:18:02
No steps. 00:18:05
This is a level. 00:18:07
Lot and everything that we have here so. 00:18:08
From entry to the front, making sure that there's. 00:18:11
It's handicap accessible. 00:18:15
Extra deep garage storage. 00:18:18
Second bedroom also can be multi-purpose. 00:18:20
There and we've got proposed built-in Murphy bed so that yes. 00:18:25
Coming over or? 00:18:29
Grandchildren or whatever. 00:18:30
For that. 00:18:33
The next. 00:18:34
Is the proposed layout. 00:18:37
Of the development and just kind of marking up a little bit where you can see. 00:18:41
The right of ways, the easements, the floodplain. 00:18:46
This is done to scale. 00:18:50
This initial drawing and everything was done. 00:18:53
In pods of three versus 6. 00:18:57
With six, we're able to have more green space. 00:18:59
And park area for it. 00:19:03
So you'll see that entrance off of Lafayette Parkway directly across. 00:19:05
From chapters living, so there's accessibility. 00:19:11
Directly across the street there. 00:19:14
Wind dance farms. 00:19:19
Owns a thin strip of land. 00:19:21
All along Lafayette Parkway, so you'll see. 00:19:24
Denoted in green. 00:19:27
There I met with **** lives. 00:19:29
And wind dance farms. And I have a letter of authorization from them. 00:19:32
For us to work together, it's included in all of this for you. 00:19:36
Also that they would work with us to. 00:19:41
Have access to Lafayette Parkway? 00:19:44
Circular Dr. and St. 00:19:48
Curved Stonewall at the entrance. 00:19:50
Swing Park. 00:19:53
Kind of a historical thing for us. 00:19:55
For my grandparents who sat on that back patio. 00:19:59
In the swing, watching traffic up and down the road consistently. 00:20:02
Because they could see all their neighbors and everybody else coming by. 00:20:07
They would stop by. 00:20:10
And so I've got a dedicated, etched out Sylvan and Jane Neville swing. 00:20:12
In everything for that area. 00:20:17
The Community Center building you'll see and the. 00:20:20
The far. 00:20:25
Top right. 00:20:28
Corner of the property and everything there again, that's modeled after the old Berry shed. 00:20:29
That's there. 00:20:35
Supplemental parking. 00:20:36
So they don't have to have parking on the street. 00:20:38
Right now on Magnolia Lane, you'll see people. 00:20:41
Parking on the streets. 00:20:43
And everything there for the drives. 00:20:45
I've been talking with and working with chapters living directly. 00:20:49
The new owner, Danny Stryker, is the CEO. They're based out of Saint Louis. 00:20:53
We're working on having some shared services with the community back and forth. 00:20:58
And so. 00:21:04
That's a great partnership that. 00:21:05
We formed there. 00:21:07
And he sees it also, and this was one of his recommendations. 00:21:09
To me for garden villas because of the extensive wait list. 00:21:13
That they have for their independent living. 00:21:17
When we last checked, they had an 18 month waiting list. 00:21:20
Um, there for that. 00:21:24
The Community Center building these are some conceptual. 00:21:30
Items and everything and I'll I'll show you what we've got mapped out. 00:21:34
With all without any other final. 00:21:38
Edits and stuff. 00:21:40
But to have a modern lobby? 00:21:42
Gathering space for residents at the entrance that you'll see. 00:21:45
In the picture on the top left. 00:21:49
Having a dual indoor outdoor fireplace. 00:21:51
Within the lobby and the front patio. 00:21:55
There's a catering, kitchen, office, storage room, 2 restrooms. 00:21:59
A Wellness fitness studio. 00:22:03
Activity multi-purpose area Rear. 00:22:05
Garden patio with raised. 00:22:08
Garden beds and stuff in the back. 00:22:11
So you'll see just some of the conceptual images and stuff there. 00:22:13
This is. 00:22:18
Without all of the edits and everything to. 00:22:19
The initial the front lobby area will be more. 00:22:23
Modern design that we've got built into it, but as far as the structure and you can see how it kind of mimics. 00:22:27
The rectangular Berry shed building that was there. 00:22:33
This is the interior. 00:22:42
You'll see that in the bottom left on the screen there. 00:22:45
The entrance to the lobby area, gathering space and everything that's there. 00:22:49
The front patio, the dual fireplace, office, restroom, storage. 00:22:55
Fitness. 00:23:00
Catering kitchen, that's there. 00:23:02
The garden area. 00:23:04
On the backside. 00:23:07
With proposed glass garage door so it extends that multi-purpose room out to the rear. 00:23:08
Garden Patio. 00:23:14
So in kind of summary here. 00:23:18
The proposal is for senior independent living. 00:23:21
ADA handicap accessible. 00:23:24
Low density. 00:23:26
Minimal traffic impact for this development. 00:23:28
It's close proximity to the commercial area. 00:23:33
The design is consistent with other. 00:23:36
Current structures and uses. 00:23:39
The chapter senior living both. 00:23:41
Bordering us on the north and the east side. 00:23:43
It's responsible growth and development of this site. 00:23:48
It's a low impact on the infrastructure. 00:23:51
Two-bedroom, 2 bathroom, single story patio homes with a garage. 12109 square feet. 00:23:55
Creates an active community. 00:24:00
Front porch, community buildings, Green Park space. 00:24:02
That's there the community building having. 00:24:07
Resident gathering space. 00:24:09
Indoor outdoor patios. Garden fitness. 00:24:12
Wellness activities. 00:24:15
Community entry from Lafayette Parkway. 00:24:17
Directly across from the chapters living entrance. 00:24:19
There's a pedestrian access path. 00:24:22
That we're looking at adding. 00:24:25
2 Magnolia Lane. 00:24:27
To the Community Center building where there would be. 00:24:28
And access. 00:24:31
Ramp there. So there's connectivity. So if we have some shared services. 00:24:33
And everything there for that. 00:24:38
And then also having an aesthetic. 00:24:40
Perimeter fence around the entire property. 00:24:42
With privacy landscape for both our community and the residents. 00:24:45
This is a copy of the letter from **** Libs for Lafayette Parkway Access. 00:24:51
That's there also. 00:24:58
Alrighty. 00:25:00
Thank you very much to having. 00:25:01
Questions at this time. 00:25:03
I've got 1 you mentioned earlier in your presentation. 00:25:05
That the buildings are proposed to be up, Rick. 00:25:08
Yes. Do you mind that, that we make that a condition, a real commitment? 00:25:13
OK, alright. 00:25:17
OK, that's the only question I had. 00:25:18
This is my legacy plan so I I'm not looking to build and flip this is. 00:25:20
Forever. 00:25:26
So will there be a? 00:25:27
Minimum age. 00:25:29
For people that live in here or five. 00:25:30
Plus. 00:25:32
55 plus us. 00:25:34
Yeah, me too. Speak for yourself. 00:25:37
Let me just real quick close, if I may please. Jason's gone through much of what you're going to see with the development plans. 00:25:44
As we indicated at the very beginning, tonight is just. 00:25:53
Land use for 9 times out of 10. 00:25:56
The question always asked, what are you going to do? 00:25:58
So by virtue of what he's done tonight. 00:26:01
He's giving you that idea. 00:26:03
Of what he plans on doing with this. 00:26:05
And certain ways Mr. Andrew is committed. 00:26:07
Mr. Biebelhauser made the comment as well. 00:26:10
Written commitments can be placed and as he indicated. 00:26:12
This is what he wants to do and this is his family legacy. Absolutely. We've been approached by other multifamily for apartment 00:26:16
complexes and so forth. 00:26:20
We're looking forward to doing something responsible, single story. 00:26:24
Not looking. 00:26:29
Or the current commercial? 00:26:31
Utilization of. 00:26:34
OK. Thank you very much. Appreciate that. 00:26:36
OK, at this time we open the floor. 00:26:38
To anybody. 00:26:41
We have 10 minutes segment here. Anybody wants to speak in favor of this project? 00:26:43
Please come forward and we state your name and address and we give you. 00:26:48
We get 10 minutes. 00:26:53
And could you start the timer please? 00:26:55
Thank you. 00:26:57
My name is Larry Book. I own the book Heating and Cooling which is just South of the proposed. 00:26:58
Zoning change. 00:27:03
But go ahead and state your address, if you will. 3584 Scottsville Rd. 00:27:05
Thank you. 00:27:08
I've been a neighbor to Jason's grandfather. 00:27:09
Even before Jason and his dad bought the property. 00:27:13
I've been there 40 years and. 00:27:16
They've taken really good care of the area. They're very responsible people. 00:27:18
I'm happy with his design. Umm, I thought I I was concerned it might be some large development, you know, multi story with. 00:27:23
With all the. 00:27:32
Traffic issues. We have the Scottsville Rd. I was concerned about additional traffic and stuff so this looks like a manageable. 00:27:33
I, I, you know, I'm 100% behind it. I think it's going to be an asset. I think we need it. 00:27:41
I I know this is a zoning thing and I guess down the road we'll actually have the everything else brought back up as far as the. 00:27:48
The design of everything that the only, the only thing is that ramp that goes between, you know, Magnolia Lane and comes in the 00:27:54
rear part of it to the Community Center. 00:27:59
You know, I'm not really sure about, you know, how that will work and how people will access in and out of that. I think Jason 00:28:05
told me that there would be some type of security there to where people. 00:28:10
Can't just come through there because there's a lot of people that walk between the Berry Twist and Woods Lafayette. 00:28:14
And, you know, we don't want a bunch of people, you know, like coming in and out of there and he's gonna fence around it, which I 00:28:20
thought was a great idea to keep people from just walking through because there is a lot of people. 00:28:25
That, you know, travel back and forth through there. 00:28:30
But I Scottsville Rd. traffic is really bad and I think this works with what what we have there. But even without this, you know, 00:28:33
it's really. 00:28:38
It's kind of hectic in there, so I I think it's something that works with. 00:28:44
You know the road that we have. 00:28:48
But with future development and stuff like that. 00:28:50
You know, down the road we might. 00:28:53
Might need a four lane Rd. there. I mean it's really busy. I get in out of my office. 00:28:56
We have a hard time getting out. The only reason we can get out is people stop and let us out. You know, there's always traffic 00:29:00
coming from schools. 00:29:03
People speed up and down Scottsdale Rd. Awful. 00:29:07
I talked to a state trooper. He said that they won't even give a ticket unless they're going about 45 because everybody on the 00:29:11
road would be getting pulled over. So to me, traffic needs to slow down there. It's, it's really, you know, something that is a 00:29:16
concern of mine. I want to make sure. 00:29:21
That I have. 00:29:27
Good visibility to pull down my parking lot. With what Jason's proposing to do, it looks like it's gonna be off the road enough to 00:29:28
for me allow the visibility. So. 00:29:32
I I think it's a good thing and I'm happy to see that they're doing something with it. I don't like to see vacant property 00:29:37
setting. 00:29:39
I know he's been trying to do this for a long time. He spent a long time on it. 00:29:43
It looks like he's made good use of that time. 00:29:46
Thank you, Larry. 00:29:51
Anybody else like to speak in favor? Please step forward to state your name and address for the record. 00:29:53
All righty. Then we're going to close that portion portion. 00:30:02
At this time, we're going to open up the floor be 10 minutes for anybody will speak in opposition to the project. 00:30:05
Once again come forward, state your name and address for the record. 00:30:12
My name is Joe Stanley. 00:30:19
I live at 3610 Lafayette Parkway. 00:30:20
I'm not really arguing for or against it. I'm still trying to figure out whether I do want to argue for or against it. 00:30:26
Process. 00:30:32
I do have some questions about. 00:30:33
The design layout. 00:30:36
As he went through, I guess that includes books property. 00:30:38
Hope, Sir, you. 00:30:41
Your questions have to come toward us. 00:30:43
And just let me just remind you this is, this is a, this is a rezone as far as the development standards and. 00:30:45
The roads and how it's laid out and all that. 00:30:53
That has to come back once the rezoning, so we're not. 00:30:56
We're not approving his entrances and we're not getting to that detail right now. We're, you know, we're at 30,000 feet all we're 00:30:59
doing as a result. 00:31:03
So as far as the details, we can't answer that, nor do we ask him to answer that at this time. 00:31:07
So everything you went through is not being as far as the rezoning approval then? 00:31:12
That's that's his concept, that's conceptual right now. 00:31:16
And I'm saying that correct, Correct. 00:31:20
That is correct, yeah. So. 00:31:21
What you, what you're we're asking here tonight is a rezone of the property so he can continue on. 00:31:24
With his development standards because. 00:31:30
There's there's a lot that goes into that. We don't get into that this time. There's a lot of staff involvement in that. And we, 00:31:32
we, we would spend hours here tonight trying to, to, to, to design this project so. 00:31:38
All we're trying to do is say that the gentleman wants to put in. 00:31:45
He was put in senior living. He wants to build the type of buildings he's building. 00:31:48
And and he's looking for a rezone. 00:31:52
I hope I explained it properly. Yeah. So the design process is we're going to another hearing on that, so. 00:31:55
I'll have a chance to say yay or nay against. 00:32:01
What design process is going to be if what they're asking for requires A variance that's? 00:32:04
Well, let Nick speak to that. Nick can answer your questions. 00:32:11
So so the the development work will require a development. 00:32:15
Plan which has a development plan review. 00:32:20
Which if they're they are not asking for a variance. Those are held at a public meeting. 00:32:23
The technical review committee. 00:32:29
Meeting. Those are not public hearings, however, right? Right. If it comes back before the Plan Commission board, it will be. 00:32:31
Be a public hearing. 00:32:37
Or you will be able to speak and if they are asking for any kind of variance against our normal standards. 00:32:39
Then they would have to come. 00:32:44
Two level plan Commission. 00:32:46
Otherwise, if their plan meets all the elements of our zoning ordinance, then they're not required to come back before this board. 00:32:50
They would have a technical review. 00:32:53
Committee meeting where that development could be approved that way. So if you have any concerns related to the zoning issue, you 00:32:57
can raise those to this board, not to the applicant and then they can. 00:33:02
Consider what you have to say. 00:33:08
OK. So you're staying up? 00:33:10
There I may have the option. 00:33:12
To not even say anything about the design process and how it's being laid out, if it goes through, if it meets. 00:33:13
The criteria. 00:33:19
Of the zoning ordinances. 00:33:21
The current The current zoning. 00:33:23
And our development standards then at that point? 00:33:25
He he does not have to have a public hearing, but if he if he asked for any variances from that, then he has to come in front of. 00:33:28
One of our boards to get permission for that and that be a public. 00:33:35
But where the variances? Where does that leave? 00:33:39
A homeowner then if if I don't like the variance, you come to a public meeting and you state your opposition to that variance is 00:33:42
what you do. 00:33:46
Publicly tonight, We're Here for a Change is currently going to be an option to do that. 00:33:50
Not necessarily. 00:33:54
That's why I'm confused currently. We're here tonight. It's currently neighborhood commercial and they are trying to move the 00:33:57
property to a multifamily. So it's a down zone. So we're here to talk about a zoning. 00:34:02
So with that in mind, they have. 00:34:08
Presented to this board what their plans are for that property. But again, they'll have to go through that development process 00:34:10
through the technical review committee and then if they want any changes from the zoning ordinance, they would have to ask the 00:34:14
board for those changes. 00:34:19
The the county ordinance for multifamily states all the things that he's required to do. 00:34:25
Is where you're saying that? 00:34:32
If it beats ordinances. 00:34:34
Then it goes through without. 00:34:36
A resident, you know, homeowner being able to say yay or nay against if a homeowner was, I mean, that leaves us with no insight to 00:34:39
be able to say we like it or don't like it because I do have concerns about. 00:34:44
The design process. 00:34:50
I do have concerns about the entrance off of Lafayette Parkway. That's that seems a little. 00:34:52
It's a little congested right there. 00:34:57
If a homeowner wants to develop their property within the zoning ordinances and they're allowed to do that without. 00:34:59
Further. 00:35:05
Variances from this body. 00:35:07
But again, we're here tonight on the zoning issue changing from neighborhood commercial to multifamily. And so if you have any 00:35:10
issues with that, then now is your time to voice those to this board. 00:35:14
So how do I get involved in the design process as far as seeing what? 00:35:23
We're not going to give you any further legal advice. We're here tonight on a zoning issue. I would suggest that. 00:35:27
Just go talk to Mr. Neville there and. 00:35:33
Ask him what he's gonna do and if you don't like it. 00:35:36
Then watch the meetings and come back and. 00:35:40
Stand right where you're at and tell us you don't like it. 00:35:43
OK, but he's he's very open I'm. 00:35:48
You'll you'll talk to you. 00:35:52
OK, just state your name and address for the record please. 00:35:59
Linda Lapalooza, 3603 Lafayette Parkway. 00:36:02
My home was probably photographed in one of those pictures that were shown because we're that close. 00:36:08
So I'd like to say that I'm also a licensed realtor and has have been for 25 years and I'm a member of the National Association of 00:36:15
Realtors as well. 00:36:19
And I will say the thing that concerns me the most is that Scottsville Rd. is already a busy 2 lane highway serving residents, 00:36:26
schools and assisted living facility. 00:36:31
And commuters. 00:36:36
An additional height, you know. 00:36:38
High density development. I know we want to clock it as low density but it will increase. 00:36:39
Congestion, traffic, noise. 00:36:44
And strain on the infrastructure. 00:36:46
And all of these changes, respectfully, can diminish fire perception and weaken long term value appreciation. 00:36:49
For neighboring. 00:36:57
Properties. 00:36:58
I just wanted to say I respectfully request the Floyd County Planning Commission to. 00:37:00
When considering a zoning change, you know at minimum require the low density preservation minded plan. 00:37:06
I appreciate what Jason Neville has presented. 00:37:11
He was also respectable enough to say he reached out to me a couple weeks ago and said. 00:37:15
When you have a moment, like to chat with you. 00:37:20
I did call him back. 00:37:23
His voicemail was full. 00:37:24
So I didn't have an opportunity to connect, but you know, I keep in mind that Floyd County is Indiana's second smallest county by 00:37:25
land area, yet already its population density is approximately 555 people per square mile. 00:37:32
So I feel like the Knobs is rapidly losing their rural beauty and green space that families moved here to enjoy. That's why we 00:37:40
moved there and. 00:37:44
You know, once the farmland in the open space is developed, they're gone forever. 00:37:48
Um, I also think that I know that we're not against growth. We're just asking for a smart balanced. 00:37:54
Growth that respects existing restaurants, residents, preserves open space and protects the character of Floyd's Knobs for future 00:38:00
generations. 00:38:05
And I would ask that all of these, I would say that. 00:38:10
The most important thing we respectfully ask is that. 00:38:14
Concerning this rezoning. 00:38:17
To especially ensure. 00:38:19
That it would not be permitted. 00:38:22
To become. 00:38:24
Apartment buildings. 00:38:25
Which we understand. 00:38:27
Qualify under the multifamily zoning permit. 00:38:30
That would be. 00:38:34
So does it go as a matter of record? But that what he. 00:38:36
Applied for was patio homes. 00:38:39
Again, we're only here tonight on a zoning change. 00:38:44
From Neighborhood Commercial. 00:38:46
Where they currently are allowed to do anything under the zoning ordinance and neighborhood commercial and they're requesting to 00:38:48
move to a multifamily and the multifamily would allow apartment buildings. 00:38:52
If if he took it further and got a further variance. 00:38:57
That would be another hearing where? 00:39:01
They can say, hey, we want to build apartments or let's say he sells it tomorrow to you. 00:39:03
And you want to put apartments? 00:39:09
Then you would have to come in here. 00:39:11
Can say. 00:39:13
This is what my concept is. 00:39:14
And then? 00:39:16
We could vote yay or nay. 00:39:17
Again, I do want to go back though if if it's. 00:39:20
By right and he follows the zoning ordinance, sure he will be allowed to do that without any other hearing before this board. 00:39:23
OK. 00:39:30
Currently it's zoned neighborhood commercial. 00:39:31
And he can develop that property as neighborhood commercial if the multifamily is not approved, which I think would probably have 00:39:33
a significant amount of traffic compared to what he's proposing right now to be honest with neighborhood commercial would be. 00:39:39
A lot busier. 00:39:44
And to your concern that you stated as far as traffic? 00:39:45
I think there's going to be less traffic with what he's proposing. 00:39:49
Yeah, I appreciate you saying that. We discussed that with John Kraft earlier and that's what you know, but. 00:39:51
You know, you understand our preservation of wanting to just minimize the congestion and further. 00:39:57
Confusion and. 00:40:03
I hope that it works out because that's a great family here at Edge. So thank you for your time and your thank you. 00:40:04
OK, we have 5 minutes left. 00:40:11
No, we don't have 5 minutes. 00:40:15
Please stop the timer on you. You reset it. OK, well that portion is done. 00:40:17
A lot of time trying to, yeah, yeah, I think you have one more person that would like to speak. 00:40:23
Yeah, come here, allow whoever wants to. 00:40:30
Absolutely. 00:40:32
State your name and address please. Barbara Bridgewater, 3729 Scottsdale Rd. 00:40:36
I perhaps only have. 00:40:42
A clarification. We'll see where this goes. 00:40:44
And I do wanna. 00:40:46
Thank Franklin because he met with me and tried to explain some things. 00:40:49
But I just want to ensure that everybody's on the same path. 00:40:53
When I look. 00:40:56
If the map the colored map. 00:40:57
It's hard to tell. 00:41:01
By the colors. 00:41:03
What things are? 00:41:05
Really. 00:41:06
Where the dividing line is between. 00:41:08
Various zoning. 00:41:10
Classifications. 00:41:12
I'm across the road. 00:41:14
Is that going to remain? 00:41:17
Neighborhood Commercial. 00:41:19
The only thing that will change is the parcel that is has an application. Yes, yes. 00:41:23
And I think. 00:41:32
Perhaps just a comment? 00:41:33
Related to what the gentleman made. 00:41:39
There's A to be a pond, a holding pond or something. 00:41:43
With Jason. 00:41:47
Proposal. 00:41:48
I'm living back. 00:41:51
Almost, I don't know, 15 years ago when Azalea Hills came in and they had to hold the club. 00:41:53
Also have two. 00:41:58
And they were going to be dry. 00:42:00
And there's one, and it's filled with water. 00:42:02
And every time there's a flood. 00:42:04
It washes out my driveway completely and I have to. 00:42:06
Spend a lot of money to take care of that and I don't want to see that happening. 00:42:09
That probably might not affect my house, but it'll affect my neighbor's house, so I just I'm concerned about. 00:42:13
About that. 00:42:18
So. 00:42:20
Did you say you're across the street on Scottsville? 00:42:22
Yeah, right on the Creek. 00:42:27
OK. 00:42:29
OK. Thank you. 00:42:30
That's I think it's a good point. I don't know what we can do. 00:42:36
Did you want? 00:42:47
Do we have time? 00:42:53
Excuse me? 00:42:58
My name is Shelly Stevenson. I'm a. 00:43:00
A joint owner of 3703 Scottsdale Rd. which is right across from the. 00:43:09
Lafayette Parkway entrance. 00:43:13
And I just wanted to echo their concerns, just that we had about just the traffic. I know it's less. 00:43:15
Traffic than it could be with apartments and all, but just that traffic coming out of that. 00:43:21
Parkway because our driveway is right. 00:43:25
Directly across. 00:43:27
And just one. 00:43:28
To see if the consideration I understand Magnolia. 00:43:30
Lane might be a. 00:43:34
Private drive to just see if. 00:43:35
Possibly there's an additional. 00:43:37
Entrance exit that can be made there to alleviate some of the traffic and. 00:43:39
Have coming out on Paley Pike instead of. 00:43:42
Everybody happened to go Scottsville Rd. 00:43:45
It's one thing for the residents, but when you look at that Community Center, it looks. 00:43:47
I don't know what capacity size wasn't mentioned, but it looks rather large and if you have a big event. 00:43:50
Everybody's filing out of that. 00:43:55
Community Center at the same time, probably in the evenings, at night. 00:43:57
That's just a lot of traffic trying to turn left. 00:44:00
Chances are they'll be turning left on Scottsville Rd. most of them. And that's just a lot of traffic. 00:44:02
Just suggest seeing about a consideration of an alternative. 00:44:07
Option to have more than one way in and out to alleviate some of the Scottsville Rd. pressure. 00:44:12
Thank you. 00:44:17
OK at this time. 00:44:19
Applicant like to come back up and. 00:44:23
Speak. 00:44:26
I will be very brief and and each of you have kind of indicated that to the members of the public tonight, but. 00:44:29
This is merely a land use. It has nothing to do with what was. 00:44:35
Presented certainly as I indicated. 00:44:39
9 times out of 10 when somebody's. 00:44:41
Doing a zoning change. 00:44:44
Everybody asks what you're going to do and when they say don't know. 00:44:45
That's kind of that red flag. 00:44:49
The idea tonight with Jason doing what he did was give everybody. 00:44:51
A feel for what was going to be done. 00:44:55
But as I indicated tonight, is actually a down zone. 00:44:57
From Neighborhood commercial, when you look at all of the by right uses, I think Mr. Andrew made the comment about. 00:45:00
This is probably going to generate less traffic I think when you look at the buy right uses that could be placed there. 00:45:07
I would agree with him. 00:45:13
But I think ultimately your considerations are only those that are set out. 00:45:14
In the statute. 00:45:18
And again, primarily comprehensive plan. 00:45:20
Current conditions, character most desirable use, conservation of property values and responsible development and growth. 00:45:23
So I indicated Mr. Walden did a very good job of explaining that. 00:45:29
And I would ask that you follow his recommendations by virtue. 00:45:33
Of answering all of those questions. 00:45:37
Those five elements. 00:45:39
In positive. 00:45:41
To grant that. Thank you. 00:45:42
And I have a question for Misterville. You could come forward. Please just state your name. 00:45:43
Address for the record again. 00:45:49
Yep, Jason, OK. 00:45:51
Yes, in this data's name and address. Jason Neville, 5511. 00:45:55
Sorry I got my mind million places. I'm with you. 00:45:59
OK, so. 00:46:02
You've agreed that we can put a written commitment that they'd be all stone all. 00:46:04
Yes, Sir, our stone. OK. 00:46:08
Would you agree to a written commitment? 00:46:10
That it will not go multi multi story that you'll go. 00:46:13
Yes, Sir, I think Linda. 00:46:17
Linda brought up a very good point and I want to. 00:46:19
I want to. I want to. 00:46:22
Good kudos there. OK, because I really didn't think about that. 00:46:24
Because it does. 00:46:28
Have the possibility if we approve this for multi for? 00:46:30
Multifamily that it could you could sell it in some 100% fine single story if you'll do that I think that will take care of her, 00:46:34
her situation and. 00:46:38
Relieve me a little bit too. Are you agreeable to single story no apartments? 00:46:43
Yes. 00:46:47
Yes, OK. Well, that's. 00:46:48
You're the man of the art, then. 00:46:51
All right. Anybody have any questions? I'm sorry. OK. I just like to add a little levity. I'll date myself. I picked strawberries 00:46:53
that went to the Berry shed. Yes, Sir. I picked cucumbers that work went to the Berry shed. One of the hardest days in my life. I 00:47:00
ever worked in my life, working for the Fenwicks, picking cucumbers that went to the Berry shed. 00:47:06
And I'll date myself. 00:47:13
Yes Sir. Well to this day we grew all our own strawberries or raspberries for all of our ice cream back in the day. 00:47:14
And to this day I have 0 desire to ever have a strawberry because these hands should still be staged. That and Pickles. Never 00:47:21
again for me. You got it right back. Never Pickles. I hated that. 00:47:27
OK, enough. 00:47:34
Farming. 00:47:35
OK, at this point we're looking for a ballot. 00:47:37
Alrighty Frank, loop is. 00:47:42
I'm going to give us a ballot. 00:47:44
Let the record show. 00:47:47
I mean docket. 00:47:49
Docket Spot. 00:47:53
FC or 42624? 00:47:56
4 County Zoning ordinance 2000. 00:48:01
6 Jason Deville's petitioner. 00:48:04
In reviewing the zoning amendment petition, the Planning Commission and the county commissioner shall pay reasonable regard to the 00:48:08
following. 00:48:11
Floyd County Comprehensive Plan and any. 00:48:15
Other applicable. 00:48:17
Adopted planning studies or reports. 00:48:19
#2 the current conditions and the character of the current structures. 00:48:22
And use of each district #3. 00:48:26
The most desirable use. 00:48:29
For each, the land in each district is adapted. 00:48:31
And #4 the conservation of the property values throughout Floyd County. 00:48:35
And five, responsible growth and development. 00:48:39
I'm proposing a decision. After careful review, the Plan Commission finds that. 00:48:43
Rezoning of the subject property is consistent with Floyd County. 00:48:48
Comprehensive plan. 00:48:53
Because conceptual. 00:48:55
Proposal. 00:48:57
Encourages development near Paoli Bright commercial corridor. 00:48:58
Proposes increased residential use away from. 00:49:02
Agricultural areas proposes residential uses. 00:49:06
Near existing infrastructure. 00:49:10
Encourages a sense of place. 00:49:12
Aligns the community preferences for housing. 00:49:15
Options for senior citizens. 00:49:18
Adheres to the action item to encourage creation. 00:49:21
Of senior housing partnerships. 00:49:25
And places patio style housing in close proximity. 00:49:27
To a main commercial area that's explicitly requested. 00:49:31
By the comprehensive plan. 00:49:36
#2. 00:49:38
The rezoning of the subject property is consistent with the current conditions and the character. 00:49:39
Of current structures and uses in the area because. 00:49:45
Failing flight corridor provides various commercial amenities to the South. 00:49:49
Will an existing assisted and independent living facility. 00:49:54
Is located to the north. 00:49:58
#3 The rezoning of the subject property is necessary for the most desirable land. 00:50:00
For the use of the land because the current. 00:50:09
Lot contains 2 underutilized buildings. 00:50:12
Well, this proposal concentrates housing near amenities. 00:50:15
And places residents in an area where they'll generate fewer traffic trips. 00:50:19
Then in favor single family homes. 00:50:24
The concentration of the residential units. 00:50:26
Here also preserves land compared to the same number of units were created. 00:50:29
In a lower density. 00:50:34
#4. 00:50:37
The rezoning of the subject property will not. 00:50:38
Be injurious to the value of other properties in the area because. 00:50:41
There's the commercial corridor is already a more intensive use. 00:50:45
There are existing patio homes for independent living located. 00:50:49
Along Magnolia Lane. 00:50:53
Each to the preferred site. 00:50:55
By the rezoning of the subject property will support. 00:50:57
Responsible growth and development in the area because. 00:51:01
Residential units are concentrated in a way that ensures units have. 00:51:05
Adequate infrastructure. 00:51:09
This concentration of units requires less public infrastructure for housing. 00:51:12
Unit than the county has to maintain compared to the lower density. 00:51:17
The developments there are commercial amenities in close proximity, cutting down on the number. 00:51:21
Of traffic trips generated for those added residential units. 00:51:26
Profound, careful review. 00:51:31
I propose the Plan Commission hereby makes favor of the. 00:51:33
Recommendation. 00:51:37
To the county commissioners. 00:51:38
Concerning the petitioner zoning amendment application at the meeting. 00:51:40
Themselves today. 00:51:45
And a favorable recommendation is made based on the following written commitments. 00:51:46
It would be uh. 00:51:52
The structure is brick or stone. 00:51:56
And single story only near park. 00:52:00
OK, we have a ballot. Need a second? 00:52:04
I'll second that. Let the record show that Larry Biebelhauser has seconded any. 00:52:06
Discussion. 00:52:11
No discussion at that time. All in favor signify by aye. 00:52:12
Aye, those opposed likewise. 00:52:17
Let the record show as unanimous vote in favor. 00:52:19
Thank you. All right. 00:52:22
Let's get on to the next item. 00:52:25
Item number 3. 00:52:28
Docket FC-11-205-35. 00:52:30
Primary approval of administrative subdivision replat. 00:52:35
Applicant is seeking primary approval of an administrative subdivision as a replant. 00:52:39
Of Lot 233 of a major subdivision known as Laxley Springs. 00:52:43
Applicant James Sin. 00:52:47
And representative is. 00:52:49
Jason copper weight. 00:52:52
At this time, Frank, if you'll give your staff report, please. All right. 00:52:54
I've got a docket #FC112535. 00:52:57
Petitioner Jameson. 00:53:04
People they. 00:53:07
Good. You probably have to go outside or we can't overhear this. Thank you very much. 00:53:08
Go ahead. 00:53:14
Location 1105 Beechwood Dr. Lanesville, IN 47136. 00:53:14
Request for an administrative minor subdivision reflat of Lot 233 and legacy springs. 00:53:19
The zoning district is agricultural residential. 00:53:25
The petitioner is requesting to vacate and rededicate the existing 30 foot drainage easement located on Lot 233 within the Legacy 00:53:28
Springs Subdivision. 00:53:32
The easement would be shifted further north to align more closely with the existing Swale, ensure a proposed home on Lot 233 is 00:53:36
not situated within the current easement area and also allow for adequate space for the residents to include a yard. 00:53:42
The applicant states that he has consulted with both the Army Corps of Engineers and ITEM, and that because the feature was 00:53:49
determined to be an ephemeral stream, both agencies indicated no objections to the proposed mitigation and easement relocation. 00:53:55
The Stormwater board has already approved. 00:54:00
The rededicated drainage easement. 00:54:03
For staff comments. 00:54:04
For the vacation. 00:54:06
The conditions in the platted area have not changed so as to defeat the original purpose of the plat because lot lines will not be 00:54:07
modified and the modification for the subdivision will allow for the replacement of an existing easement to allow for residents to 00:54:12
be built while also adequately addressing the drainage area. 00:54:17
It is in the public interest to vacate all or part of the plat because vacating part of the plat will. 00:54:22
Make the lot buildable by allowing. 00:54:27
For development of a residence that will not be located within the drainage easement. 00:54:29
The value of that part of the land in the plat not owned by the petitioner will not be diminished by vacation because the value of 00:54:33
the land not owned by the petitioner. 00:54:37
Will that be diminished as the proposed drainage easement modification will continue to ensure adequate stormwater management and 00:54:41
protection for neighboring properties? 00:54:45
Additionally, allowing the lot to be developed with. 00:54:49
Single family residents may enhance cohesion of the neighborhood as. 00:54:53
Currently the lot is vacant and which in turn may potentially increase surrounding property values. 00:54:57
Staff comments for the minor subdivision the Plat has submitted does comply with the lock standards. 00:55:01
Or lot size standards because there are no proposed. 00:55:06
Changes to previously approved lot sizes. 00:55:09
The, Plato submitted, does comply with the street design standards because. 00:55:11
No modification to streets are proposed. Streets will remain public and Legacy Springs. 00:55:14
Platis submitted does comply with the easement standards. 00:55:19
Because no changes to the originally approved easements have been made. 00:55:22
The plot has submitted comply with the box standards because the plat will remain accessible via the subdivision St. 00:55:27
Platis submitted does provide St. improvements as required by ordinance. Because no modifications to the previously approved 00:55:33
streets are proposed, streets will remain public. 00:55:37
I have submitted does comply with the water supply standards because previous approvals included verification of service 00:55:40
providers. 00:55:44
The platter submitted is suitable for sewage and wastewater containment because previous approvals. 00:55:48
Included verification of service providers for staff recommendations prior to seeking secondary approval and final plat approval. 00:55:53
From the county commissioners, the applicant must submit documentation or communication from both item and the US Army Corps of 00:55:58
Engineers granting approval of the stream mitigation. 00:56:02
Alrighty, that's a lot to take in. 00:56:08
You got more information for us? 00:56:11
Here is the overview or the overhead view from Beacon. 00:56:13
And then this is the. 00:56:18
Plan. That's a picture of the lot. It's the most recent one I can find. 00:56:19
Oh, snow. 00:56:23
Yeah, there you go. 00:56:25
So Frank on the floor. 00:56:28
That's what I'm talking. 00:56:31
You're #3. 00:56:33
You said no changes to your review approved easements. This is a change to an easement specifically is changing. I apologize. 00:56:36
So should the wording be? 00:56:43
No changes to the original approved easements have been made except for Lot 233. 00:56:45
That's that's a good catch. I messed up. Thank you, Sir. Thank you. 00:56:51
OK. Any other questions for Frank? 00:56:55
Yeah. 00:56:58
All right, I see none. 00:57:00
OK, so we got to do the same thing, right? 00:57:01
The applicant, yeah, if the applicant likes to come forward now. 00:57:04
And state your name and address for the record. Yeah, he's not here. 00:57:08
I was expecting them to be here. I'm James San, I'm the developer of Legacy Springs. 00:57:12
Subdivision in. 00:57:17
I'll pretty well explain what we're. 00:57:19
Address. Give us your address 5512. 00:57:20
Scottsville, Navalton Rd. White Knobs, Indiana. Thank you. 00:57:23
Well, I'm pretty much said what we're needing to do. 00:57:30
We were hoping to do that. 00:57:33
When we asked for the. 00:57:35
There in December, but. 00:57:37
There was some question that we needed the letter from. 00:57:38
A Corps of Engineers OK and. 00:57:42
That they didn't have any. 00:57:44
Question or problems with it? 00:57:46
And we got that and that. 00:57:48
Hopefully should be all we needed. 00:57:51
OK. Any questions for Mr. Sin? 00:57:53
Good, Bonnie. Thank you, Sir. 00:57:57
OK, at this time we. 00:58:00
Oh wait, we still have to open up for public, right? At this time, we open up for public comment in favor. 00:58:02
Of this applicant. 00:58:07
OK. If that case anybody? 00:58:12
In opposition. 00:58:15
Come forward. 00:58:17
That seems like there's none there. 00:58:19
OK, so I guess what? 00:58:21
We don't need you to come up and respond to what anybody said. 00:58:24
Hope I said anything. So this time we opened up for a ballot. 00:58:27

At this time, we'd like to stay and do the pledge allegiance to the flag. 00:00:05
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America. 00:00:09
And to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God. 00:00:14
Indivisible with liberty and justice for all. All right. 00:00:19
Thank you. 00:00:22

No, there's there's only one set. That's a typo. 00:01:22
And no announcements. 00:01:26
No old business. 00:01:29
On new business and I think. 00:01:31
Frank, you're going to address this at this time, agenda item number one. 00:01:33
If you'll take the floor for us, please. 00:01:38
So for Docket FC 4/26/22 with petitioner Dennis Lopez Junior. 00:01:43
On a location of 2001 Spring Creek Dr. Fluids Knobs. 00:01:48
There was a request for development standards variance to encroach on the build limit line. 00:01:52
In the zoning district of Residential Suburban, this petition has been withdrawn. 00:01:56
The applicant submitted a letter to be read before the board. 00:02:00
Dennis and I wish to withdraw our request for permit approval on the proposed garage we submitted for 2001 Spring Creek Drive. 00:02:04
We would like the committee to know that when we purchased our forever home, we were told that there was a previous. 00:02:10
Non existent HOA and it is not in effect. 00:02:15
We would not have purchased this home knowing we had such restrictions from 40 years ago. 00:02:18
We thought we were going through the proper channels by having our land surveyed, utilities mapped out, permits obtained, plans 00:02:23
drawn up and et cetera. 00:02:25
Our deed had no conveyance attached and we were completely taken off guard. 00:02:29
With all the said, since this seems to be what our community wants, we were. 00:02:33
Sorry, we want to be good neighbors and withdraw our request at this time. 00:02:36
Thank you. 00:02:39
Miss Lopez. 00:02:41
Alright, thank you, Frank. 00:02:42
OK. 00:02:44
At this time, we're going to. 00:02:46
Agenda item number 2, Docket FC-04-26. 00:02:49
Dash 24 zoning map amendment. 00:02:54
Advocate Jason Deville. 00:02:57
You'd like to take over, Frank? 00:02:59
So I have a presentation that the applicant has. 00:03:02
Submit it. 00:03:07
So docket number FC-42624. 00:03:20
Petitioner Jason Deville, location 3674 Scottsville Rd. Floyd's Knobs. 00:03:24
A request for a zoning map amendment. A rezone from neighborhood commercial to multifamily. 00:03:29
With the current zoning district as neighborhood commercial. 00:03:34
The petitioner is requesting a change in zoning from neighborhood commercial to multifamily for senior. 00:03:38
Housing Patio. 00:03:42
The proposed site is 4.05 acres, located at the southeastern corner of Lafayette Parkway and Scottsville Rd. 00:03:44
Just South and West of the chapters living of Floyds Knobs Independent and assisted living facility. 00:03:50
These sites are located just north of the Paoli Price commercial corridor and to the east of Scottsville Rd. 00:03:55
All within the Lafayette Township. 00:04:00
The conceptual proposal for the site is for an upscale 55 plus senior living community consisting of 24 single story. 00:04:02
A joint patio homes units. 00:04:09
Arranged in four buildings of 6 units each with a dedicated Community Center building. 00:04:11
For the exclusive use of residence. 00:04:16
For staff comments. 00:04:18
The Vision Floyd County Comprehensive Plan discusses this. 00:04:20
Commercial corridor at Paley Pike as a smaller commercial area. Page 44. 00:04:23
With the intent to provide local commercial needs for residents. 00:04:28
This is comparable to a Main Street or town square style for developments providing commercial and recreational amenities for 00:04:31
nearby neighborhoods. 00:04:34
The vision for the Lafayette Township on page 54. 00:04:38
Encourages concentration of commercial use on highlighter point Paoli. 00:04:41
Infrastructure permitting. 00:04:45
Further residential. 00:04:47
Uses are to be directed toward existing infrastructure and to be discouraged within agricultural areas. 00:04:48
Placement of mid to low density patio homes encourages the use of Paley Pike. 00:04:54
Not just as strip malls along the highway, but as a village center with a supportive neighborhood. 00:04:58
The comprehensive plan further indicates a preference within its community survey for housing options for senior citizens at 80% 00:05:03
favorability. That's on page 24. 00:05:07
This was then identified under the Places to Live theme as an action item. 00:05:11
To encourage creation of senior housing partnerships. 00:05:15
With senior oriented human service providers countrywide, including local municipal partners. 00:05:17
That's on page 35. 00:05:22
Lastly, the comprehensive plan outlines residential growth areas on page 42. 00:05:23
And encourages that high density patio style housing be considered in areas in close proximity to main commercial areas. 00:05:27
Multifamily development should be directed towards established urban areas based on proximity to existing services and density. 00:05:34
Multifamily development should be limited to existing zoned areas or when development can provide immediate access to commercial. 00:05:40
Alternate forms of transportation. 00:05:46
And is incorporated as part of innovative conservation design. 00:05:48
The proposed site is in proximity to a main commercial area and has close access to. 00:05:52
Unassisted and independent living facility. 00:05:57
#1 The rezoning of the subject property is consistent with the Floyd County Comprehensive Plan because. 00:06:01
The conceptual proposal encourages development near the Paoli Pike commercial corridor. 00:06:06
Proposes increased residential use away from agricultural areas. 00:06:10
Proposes residential uses near existing infrastructure. 00:06:14
Encourages a sense of place. 00:06:17
Aligns with the community preferences for housing options for senior citizens. 00:06:19
Adheres to the action item to encourage creation. 00:06:22
Of senior housing partnerships. 00:06:25
And places patio style housing in close proximity to a main commercial area as explicitly requested by the Comprehensive Plan. 00:06:27
#2. 00:06:33
The rezoning of the subject property is consistent with the current conditions and the character of. 00:06:34
Current structures and uses in the area because the Paoli Pike corridor provides various commercial amenities to the South. 00:06:38
While an existing assisted and independent living facility is located to the north. 00:06:44
At least item 3, the rezoning of the subject property, is necessary for the most desirable use of the land because the current lot 00:06:47
contains 2 underutilized buildings. 00:06:52
While this proposal concentrates housing near amenities and places residents in an area where they will generate fewer traffic 00:06:57
strip trips. 00:07:00
Then if these were single family homes. 00:07:04
The concentration of residential units here also preserves land compared to the same number of units were created in the lower 00:07:06
density zone. 00:07:09
Item 4 The rezoning of the subject property will not be injurious to the value of other properties in the area because. 00:07:12
The commercial corridor is already a more intensive use and there are existing patio homes for independent living located along. 00:07:18
Magnolia Lane to the east of the proposed site. 00:07:24
Item 5. 00:07:27
The rezoning of the subject property will support responsible growth and development in the area because. 00:07:28
Residential units are concentrated in a way that ensures units have adequate infrastructure. 00:07:33
This concentration of units requires less public infrastructure per housing unit. 00:07:37
That the county has to maintain compared to lower density developments. 00:07:41
There are commercial amenities in close proximity, cutting down on the number of traffic trips generated from these added 00:07:44
residential units. 00:07:48
For staff recommendations. 00:07:51
Whereas the proposal matches with the spirit of the comprehensive plan, staff has no recommended conditions. 00:07:53
I'd like to also go through. 00:07:58
We've got a conceptual plan, there's a more updated one that the applicant will show. 00:08:00
This is. 00:08:05
A view of the site looking east from Scottsville Rd. 00:08:07
This is another view looking used from Scottsville Rd. 00:08:10
This is looking S from Lafayette Parkway. You can see the Magnolia Independent living homes. 00:08:14
To the left there. 00:08:19
View of the assisted living. 00:08:21
Facility just north of the site. 00:08:23
View the Commuter Sorry commercial area to the South of the site. 00:08:25
The Berry twist there. 00:08:29
View the commercial area to the southwest on the other side of Scottsville Rd. which is. 00:08:31
The coffee crossing. Some other uses there. 00:08:36
All right, that's all I have. 00:08:42
All righty, anybody got any questions for? 00:08:45
Frank at this time. 00:08:48
OK, at this time we'd like to open up. 00:08:50
No questions. 00:08:54
John yeah, we, we surveyed this about 7 years ago. I'm going to. 00:08:55
Recuse myself from this understand. 00:08:59
And let the record show that Mister Welch has shown up. He is present. 00:09:05
We got one leaving and one coming, so that's pretty good. 00:09:11
All righty at this time. 00:09:15
With no other questions, we'll open the floor to the applicant. 00:09:17
An applicant has 10 minutes to present their. 00:09:22
Thorough project. 00:09:24
State your name. 00:09:27
Address for the record For the record, John Craft, law firm of Young Landers and Craft, 126 W Spring St. New Albany, appearing on 00:09:28
behalf of the applicant. 00:09:32
As indicated, this is a zoning change and of course, in this particular instance, it's a downside. 00:09:37
Uh, taking it from neighborhood commercial, when you look at the uses by right? 00:09:43
What ultimately will be there will be much more favorable to traffic patterns. 00:09:47
Likewise this because it comes to you on a rezone. 00:09:53
Come to you for a recommendation, favorable. 00:09:56
Unfavorable or no recommendation and then ultimately. 00:09:59
Mr. Loop and his fellow Commissioners have the opportunity then. 00:10:02
To look at those same 5 conditions with respect to the rezoning. 00:10:06
Those, as indicated in the staff report, Mr. Walden did a very good job of doing my job. 00:10:10
For me, because ultimately. 00:10:16
In this particular instance, this is one that. 00:10:17
Fits. You can check all the boxes for a change as opposed to. 00:10:20
Me having to convince you to check those boxes. 00:10:25
But those boxes primarily are set up by. 00:10:28
3674603. 00:10:31
Dealing with the comprehensive plan. 00:10:33
Again, Mr. Walden has done a very good job of dealing with. 00:10:35
What this is where it's close to. 00:10:38
Proximity to other uses. 00:10:40
Current conditions and character of current structures. The photos that he showed you there at the end. 00:10:43
Primarily give you that same impression of what all of those surrounding uses are. 00:10:48
What all those surrounding users are? 00:10:53
And then likewise most desirable use for which the land is adapted. 00:10:56
Conservation of property values throughout the jurisdiction. 00:11:00
As well as responsible development and growth. 00:11:04
As indicated by. 00:11:07
Mr. Walden, Mr. Neville, Mr. Jason Neville is here this evening to present you with a. 00:11:09
A particular. 00:11:15
Plan of what's going to happen he's got a PowerPoint presentation. I'll let him do that but before I do, I would like to make. 00:11:17
Part of the record. 00:11:23
A letter from Chad Motsinger, who is a licensed real estate broker. 00:11:25
To address the item particular as to the most desirable use. 00:11:29
As well as conservation. 00:11:33
Of value properties throughout the jurisdiction. 00:11:35
I'm going to read it quickly because of my time limitations, but dear Floyd County Building Development Services. 00:11:38
In response to Agenda Item 2, Docket FC 042624 Zoning Map amendment. 00:11:43
Applicant is requesting A zoning map. 00:11:50
Change. 00:11:52
From Neighborhood Commercial. 00:11:53
To multifamily for a proposed senior patio community. 00:11:55
Applicant Jason The Bill site, 3674 Scottsville Rd. Floyd Knox IN. 00:11:58
And the parcel number and I won't read that. 00:12:04
As a resident of the Woods of Lafayette and a local realtor, it's my personal opinion and belief that the best use. 00:12:06
Of this property. 00:12:12
Is in fact the proposed use. 00:12:13
There have been many situations where I've been helping clients who are. 00:12:15
From our area. 00:12:19
In their search for more manageable housing. 00:12:20
Who would prefer to stay close to their family and hometown? 00:12:22
As opposed to moving away in search of similar developments. 00:12:26
This would help fill that gap. 00:12:29
In closing, it is my opinion that the development of this standard in quality. 00:12:31
Will only increase the value of the surrounding properties by servicing this much needed local housing. 00:12:36
Shortage. 00:12:42
For our senior residents. 00:12:43
Sincerely yours chat mot singer and likewise I would like to make. 00:12:45
That part of the record. 00:12:49
And then I'll let Mr. Nabil come up and address. 00:12:50
Is PowerPoint. 00:12:52
Thanks. Thank you, John. 00:12:56
All right. 00:13:05
Thank you. Hello. 00:13:09
Just state your name and your address for record, Jason. 00:13:11

Lifelong resident Floyd Knotts. 00:13:21
4th generation owner of this proposed site. 00:13:23
And property Appreciate the consideration for the proposed development. 00:13:27
I feel like I spent a lifetime putting this together. 00:13:33
Uh, here we go. 00:13:37
The specific site mapped out here. 00:13:40
And I've shared in the presentation with everybody. 00:13:43
4.05 acres, the original Berry Twist and my grandparents Sylvan and Jane Neville. 00:13:46
Ordered by Scottsville Rd. Lafayette Parkway, Magnolia Lane. 00:13:51
Book Heating and cooling Neighboring. 00:13:55
Chapters Living. 00:13:57
Facility. 00:13:59
With regard to the history on the site. 00:14:05
This site has always. 00:14:08
Had a history of commerce and community for 100 plus years. 00:14:10
In my family. 00:14:14
From 1920 to 1970. 00:14:16
It was the Neville family Berry market. 00:14:18
Thriving marketplace for the exchange. Local farmers. 00:14:21
And merchant buyers from around Chicago, Cincinnati, and so forth that they trucked all over. I've got some images there of former 00:14:25
building structures. 00:14:29
Uh, packing labels, some of the the trucks and everything. 00:14:33
Also from 1978 to 2000. 00:14:37
The ice cream shop. The Berry Twist. 00:14:40
Which my family started. 00:14:42
Which became a community hub and icon for their still in operation 48 plus years. 00:14:45
In the community, so very excited and proud about that. 00:14:52
And hopefully proposed in 2026. Proposed. 00:14:56
Senior Community. 00:15:01
And I shared the photos there to add a little bit of humor there for you. From 1981. The original Barry twist with a gravel 00:15:02
parking lot. 00:15:07
And then me, my sister and my cousin. 00:15:11
In 1982. 00:15:15
With our tall socks. 00:15:17
1980s. 00:15:19
Attire and everything for. 00:15:21
Entertainment. 00:15:23
The proposed development in everything. 00:15:25
I went around and researched for the patio home development, pulling from local Design element. 00:15:29
The historic schoolhouse from across the street. 00:15:34
Utilizing the. 00:15:39
Stone Foundation. The architectural brick design elements. 00:15:41
That you'll see in the schoolhouse there. 00:15:45
For the exterior of the patio home design. 00:15:48
Schubert Corner the. 00:15:52
Cable market awnings for front covered patio. 00:15:55
Sylvan and Jane Neville's home. 00:15:59
The X grid windows incorporating into. 00:16:02
Garden windows. 00:16:06
And the original Berry shed that was there. 00:16:08
The rectangular market and everything that they utilized. 00:16:11
For the Community Center. 00:16:15
So this is. 00:16:20
The proposed. 00:16:21
Elevation and everything of the patio home. 00:16:25
Here again, like we had shared before. 00:16:29
Four pods of 6. 00:16:33
Around the property. 00:16:35
With these. 00:16:37
All brick. Full brick. 00:16:39
Stone Foundation. 00:16:41
Each individual. 00:16:43
Unit. 00:16:45
Having. 00:16:46
Different colored brick all in I. 00:16:47
With cohesive color flow and everything for that. 00:16:50
And with those market awnings and everything that we had. 00:16:55
And together also. 00:16:58
So those are the different elevations and everything we had initially. 00:16:59
And the units are single story. You'll see the the three small windows above. 00:17:04
It's just for a. 00:17:09
Elevated. 00:17:10
In the great room and everything that you'll see on the next slide here into the kitchen. 00:17:13
For it so it slopes, so that provides additional lighting and everything. 00:17:19
Into the area there. 00:17:23
All of the homes will be ADA accessible. 00:17:25
12109 square feet, two-bedroom, 2 bath. 00:17:28
Covered rear patio. 00:17:32
With kitchen access. 00:17:34
I've toured and walked through. 00:17:36
The chapters Living independent living villas. 00:17:40
In the back there off of Magnolia Lane also. 00:17:45
Some of their back patios you have to walk through the master bedroom to get to and others. 00:17:48
This is a very convenient off of the kitchen. 00:17:54
Directly for guests so they. 00:17:58
Guests wouldn't have to walk through a lesser bedroom. 00:17:59
To get to the patio also. 00:18:02
No steps. 00:18:05
This is a level. 00:18:07
Lot and everything that we have here so. 00:18:08
From entry to the front, making sure that there's. 00:18:11
It's handicap accessible. 00:18:15
Extra deep garage storage. 00:18:18
Second bedroom also can be multi-purpose. 00:18:20
There and we've got proposed built-in Murphy bed so that yes. 00:18:25
Coming over or? 00:18:29
Grandchildren or whatever. 00:18:30
For that. 00:18:33
The next. 00:18:34
Is the proposed layout. 00:18:37
Of the development and just kind of marking up a little bit where you can see. 00:18:41
The right of ways, the easements, the floodplain. 00:18:46
This is done to scale. 00:18:50
This initial drawing and everything was done. 00:18:53
In pods of three versus 6. 00:18:57
With six, we're able to have more green space. 00:18:59
And park area for it. 00:19:03
So you'll see that entrance off of Lafayette Parkway directly across. 00:19:05
From chapters living, so there's accessibility. 00:19:11
Directly across the street there. 00:19:14
Wind dance farms. 00:19:19
Owns a thin strip of land. 00:19:21
All along Lafayette Parkway, so you'll see. 00:19:24
Denoted in green. 00:19:27
There I met with **** lives. 00:19:29
And wind dance farms. And I have a letter of authorization from them. 00:19:32
For us to work together, it's included in all of this for you. 00:19:36
Also that they would work with us to. 00:19:41
Have access to Lafayette Parkway? 00:19:44
Circular Dr. and St. 00:19:48
Curved Stonewall at the entrance. 00:19:50
Swing Park. 00:19:53
Kind of a historical thing for us. 00:19:55
For my grandparents who sat on that back patio. 00:19:59
In the swing, watching traffic up and down the road consistently. 00:20:02
Because they could see all their neighbors and everybody else coming by. 00:20:07
They would stop by. 00:20:10
And so I've got a dedicated, etched out Sylvan and Jane Neville swing. 00:20:12
In everything for that area. 00:20:17
The Community Center building you'll see and the. 00:20:20
The far. 00:20:25
Top right. 00:20:28
Corner of the property and everything there again, that's modeled after the old Berry shed. 00:20:29
That's there. 00:20:35
Supplemental parking. 00:20:36
So they don't have to have parking on the street. 00:20:38
Right now on Magnolia Lane, you'll see people. 00:20:41
Parking on the streets. 00:20:43
And everything there for the drives. 00:20:45
I've been talking with and working with chapters living directly. 00:20:49
The new owner, Danny Stryker, is the CEO. They're based out of Saint Louis. 00:20:53
We're working on having some shared services with the community back and forth. 00:20:58
And so. 00:21:04
That's a great partnership that. 00:21:05
We formed there. 00:21:07
And he sees it also, and this was one of his recommendations. 00:21:09
To me for garden villas because of the extensive wait list. 00:21:13
That they have for their independent living. 00:21:17
When we last checked, they had an 18 month waiting list. 00:21:20
Um, there for that. 00:21:24
The Community Center building these are some conceptual. 00:21:30
Items and everything and I'll I'll show you what we've got mapped out. 00:21:34
With all without any other final. 00:21:38
Edits and stuff. 00:21:40
But to have a modern lobby? 00:21:42
Gathering space for residents at the entrance that you'll see. 00:21:45
In the picture on the top left. 00:21:49
Having a dual indoor outdoor fireplace. 00:21:51
Within the lobby and the front patio. 00:21:55
There's a catering, kitchen, office, storage room, 2 restrooms. 00:21:59
A Wellness fitness studio. 00:22:03
Activity multi-purpose area Rear. 00:22:05
Garden patio with raised. 00:22:08
Garden beds and stuff in the back. 00:22:11
So you'll see just some of the conceptual images and stuff there. 00:22:13
This is. 00:22:18
Without all of the edits and everything to. 00:22:19
The initial the front lobby area will be more. 00:22:23
Modern design that we've got built into it, but as far as the structure and you can see how it kind of mimics. 00:22:27
The rectangular Berry shed building that was there. 00:22:33
This is the interior. 00:22:42
You'll see that in the bottom left on the screen there. 00:22:45
The entrance to the lobby area, gathering space and everything that's there. 00:22:49
The front patio, the dual fireplace, office, restroom, storage. 00:22:55
Fitness. 00:23:00
Catering kitchen, that's there. 00:23:02
The garden area. 00:23:04
On the backside. 00:23:07
With proposed glass garage door so it extends that multi-purpose room out to the rear. 00:23:08
Garden Patio. 00:23:14
So in kind of summary here. 00:23:18
The proposal is for senior independent living. 00:23:21
ADA handicap accessible. 00:23:24
Low density. 00:23:26
Minimal traffic impact for this development. 00:23:28
It's close proximity to the commercial area. 00:23:33
The design is consistent with other. 00:23:36
Current structures and uses. 00:23:39
The chapter senior living both. 00:23:41
Bordering us on the north and the east side. 00:23:43
It's responsible growth and development of this site. 00:23:48
It's a low impact on the infrastructure. 00:23:51
Two-bedroom, 2 bathroom, single story patio homes with a garage. 12109 square feet. 00:23:55
Creates an active community. 00:24:00
Front porch, community buildings, Green Park space. 00:24:02
That's there the community building having. 00:24:07
Resident gathering space. 00:24:09
Indoor outdoor patios. Garden fitness. 00:24:12
Wellness activities. 00:24:15
Community entry from Lafayette Parkway. 00:24:17
Directly across from the chapters living entrance. 00:24:19
There's a pedestrian access path. 00:24:22
That we're looking at adding. 00:24:25
2 Magnolia Lane. 00:24:27
To the Community Center building where there would be. 00:24:28
And access. 00:24:31
Ramp there. So there's connectivity. So if we have some shared services. 00:24:33
And everything there for that. 00:24:38
And then also having an aesthetic. 00:24:40
Perimeter fence around the entire property. 00:24:42
With privacy landscape for both our community and the residents. 00:24:45
This is a copy of the letter from **** Libs for Lafayette Parkway Access. 00:24:51
That's there also. 00:24:58
Alrighty. 00:25:00
Thank you very much to having. 00:25:01
Questions at this time. 00:25:03
I've got 1 you mentioned earlier in your presentation. 00:25:05
That the buildings are proposed to be up, Rick. 00:25:08
Yes. Do you mind that, that we make that a condition, a real commitment? 00:25:13
OK, alright. 00:25:17
OK, that's the only question I had. 00:25:18
This is my legacy plan so I I'm not looking to build and flip this is. 00:25:20
Forever. 00:25:26
So will there be a? 00:25:27
Minimum age. 00:25:29
For people that live in here or five. 00:25:30
Plus. 00:25:32
55 plus us. 00:25:34
Yeah, me too. Speak for yourself. 00:25:37
Let me just real quick close, if I may please. Jason's gone through much of what you're going to see with the development plans. 00:25:44
As we indicated at the very beginning, tonight is just. 00:25:53
Land use for 9 times out of 10. 00:25:56
The question always asked, what are you going to do? 00:25:58
So by virtue of what he's done tonight. 00:26:01
He's giving you that idea. 00:26:03
Of what he plans on doing with this. 00:26:05
And certain ways Mr. Andrew is committed. 00:26:07
Mr. Biebelhauser made the comment as well. 00:26:10
Written commitments can be placed and as he indicated. 00:26:12
This is what he wants to do and this is his family legacy. Absolutely. We've been approached by other multifamily for apartment 00:26:16
complexes and so forth. 00:26:20
We're looking forward to doing something responsible, single story. 00:26:24
Not looking. 00:26:29
Or the current commercial? 00:26:31
Utilization of. 00:26:34
OK. Thank you very much. Appreciate that. 00:26:36
OK, at this time we open the floor. 00:26:38
To anybody. 00:26:41
We have 10 minutes segment here. Anybody wants to speak in favor of this project? 00:26:43
Please come forward and we state your name and address and we give you. 00:26:48
We get 10 minutes. 00:26:53
And could you start the timer please? 00:26:55
Thank you. 00:26:57
My name is Larry Book. I own the book Heating and Cooling which is just South of the proposed. 00:26:58
Zoning change. 00:27:03
But go ahead and state your address, if you will. 3584 Scottsville Rd. 00:27:05
Thank you. 00:27:08
I've been a neighbor to Jason's grandfather. 00:27:09
Even before Jason and his dad bought the property. 00:27:13
I've been there 40 years and. 00:27:16
They've taken really good care of the area. They're very responsible people. 00:27:18
I'm happy with his design. Umm, I thought I I was concerned it might be some large development, you know, multi story with. 00:27:23
With all the. 00:27:32
Traffic issues. We have the Scottsville Rd. I was concerned about additional traffic and stuff so this looks like a manageable. 00:27:33
I, I, you know, I'm 100% behind it. I think it's going to be an asset. I think we need it. 00:27:41
I I know this is a zoning thing and I guess down the road we'll actually have the everything else brought back up as far as the. 00:27:48
The design of everything that the only, the only thing is that ramp that goes between, you know, Magnolia Lane and comes in the 00:27:54
rear part of it to the Community Center. 00:27:59
You know, I'm not really sure about, you know, how that will work and how people will access in and out of that. I think Jason 00:28:05
told me that there would be some type of security there to where people. 00:28:10
Can't just come through there because there's a lot of people that walk between the Berry Twist and Woods Lafayette. 00:28:14
And, you know, we don't want a bunch of people, you know, like coming in and out of there and he's gonna fence around it, which I 00:28:20
thought was a great idea to keep people from just walking through because there is a lot of people. 00:28:25
That, you know, travel back and forth through there. 00:28:30
But I Scottsville Rd. traffic is really bad and I think this works with what what we have there. But even without this, you know, 00:28:33
it's really. 00:28:38
It's kind of hectic in there, so I I think it's something that works with. 00:28:44
You know the road that we have. 00:28:48
But with future development and stuff like that. 00:28:50
You know, down the road we might. 00:28:53
Might need a four lane Rd. there. I mean it's really busy. I get in out of my office. 00:28:56
We have a hard time getting out. The only reason we can get out is people stop and let us out. You know, there's always traffic 00:29:00
coming from schools. 00:29:03
People speed up and down Scottsdale Rd. Awful. 00:29:07
I talked to a state trooper. He said that they won't even give a ticket unless they're going about 45 because everybody on the 00:29:11
road would be getting pulled over. So to me, traffic needs to slow down there. It's, it's really, you know, something that is a 00:29:16
concern of mine. I want to make sure. 00:29:21
That I have. 00:29:27
Good visibility to pull down my parking lot. With what Jason's proposing to do, it looks like it's gonna be off the road enough to 00:29:28
for me allow the visibility. So. 00:29:32
I I think it's a good thing and I'm happy to see that they're doing something with it. I don't like to see vacant property 00:29:37
setting. 00:29:39
I know he's been trying to do this for a long time. He spent a long time on it. 00:29:43
It looks like he's made good use of that time. 00:29:46
Thank you, Larry. 00:29:51
Anybody else like to speak in favor? Please step forward to state your name and address for the record. 00:29:53
All righty. Then we're going to close that portion portion. 00:30:02
At this time, we're going to open up the floor be 10 minutes for anybody will speak in opposition to the project. 00:30:05
Once again come forward, state your name and address for the record. 00:30:12
My name is Joe Stanley. 00:30:19
I live at 3610 Lafayette Parkway. 00:30:20
I'm not really arguing for or against it. I'm still trying to figure out whether I do want to argue for or against it. 00:30:26
Process. 00:30:32
I do have some questions about. 00:30:33
The design layout. 00:30:36
As he went through, I guess that includes books property. 00:30:38
Hope, Sir, you. 00:30:41
Your questions have to come toward us. 00:30:43
And just let me just remind you this is, this is a, this is a rezone as far as the development standards and. 00:30:45
The roads and how it's laid out and all that. 00:30:53
That has to come back once the rezoning, so we're not. 00:30:56
We're not approving his entrances and we're not getting to that detail right now. We're, you know, we're at 30,000 feet all we're 00:30:59
doing as a result. 00:31:03
So as far as the details, we can't answer that, nor do we ask him to answer that at this time. 00:31:07
So everything you went through is not being as far as the rezoning approval then? 00:31:12
That's that's his concept, that's conceptual right now. 00:31:16
And I'm saying that correct, Correct. 00:31:20
That is correct, yeah. So. 00:31:21
What you, what you're we're asking here tonight is a rezone of the property so he can continue on. 00:31:24
With his development standards because. 00:31:30
There's there's a lot that goes into that. We don't get into that this time. There's a lot of staff involvement in that. And we, 00:31:32
we, we would spend hours here tonight trying to, to, to, to design this project so. 00:31:38
All we're trying to do is say that the gentleman wants to put in. 00:31:45
He was put in senior living. He wants to build the type of buildings he's building. 00:31:48
And and he's looking for a rezone. 00:31:52
I hope I explained it properly. Yeah. So the design process is we're going to another hearing on that, so. 00:31:55
I'll have a chance to say yay or nay against. 00:32:01
What design process is going to be if what they're asking for requires A variance that's? 00:32:04
Well, let Nick speak to that. Nick can answer your questions. 00:32:11
So so the the development work will require a development. 00:32:15
Plan which has a development plan review. 00:32:20
Which if they're they are not asking for a variance. Those are held at a public meeting. 00:32:23
The technical review committee. 00:32:29
Meeting. Those are not public hearings, however, right? Right. If it comes back before the Plan Commission board, it will be. 00:32:31
Be a public hearing. 00:32:37
Or you will be able to speak and if they are asking for any kind of variance against our normal standards. 00:32:39
Then they would have to come. 00:32:44
Two level plan Commission. 00:32:46
Otherwise, if their plan meets all the elements of our zoning ordinance, then they're not required to come back before this board. 00:32:50
They would have a technical review. 00:32:53
Committee meeting where that development could be approved that way. So if you have any concerns related to the zoning issue, you 00:32:57
can raise those to this board, not to the applicant and then they can. 00:33:02
Consider what you have to say. 00:33:08
OK. So you're staying up? 00:33:10
There I may have the option. 00:33:12
To not even say anything about the design process and how it's being laid out, if it goes through, if it meets. 00:33:13
The criteria. 00:33:19
Of the zoning ordinances. 00:33:21
The current The current zoning. 00:33:23
And our development standards then at that point? 00:33:25
He he does not have to have a public hearing, but if he if he asked for any variances from that, then he has to come in front of. 00:33:28
One of our boards to get permission for that and that be a public. 00:33:35
But where the variances? Where does that leave? 00:33:39
A homeowner then if if I don't like the variance, you come to a public meeting and you state your opposition to that variance is 00:33:42
what you do. 00:33:46
Publicly tonight, We're Here for a Change is currently going to be an option to do that. 00:33:50
Not necessarily. 00:33:54
That's why I'm confused currently. We're here tonight. It's currently neighborhood commercial and they are trying to move the 00:33:57
property to a multifamily. So it's a down zone. So we're here to talk about a zoning. 00:34:02
So with that in mind, they have. 00:34:08
Presented to this board what their plans are for that property. But again, they'll have to go through that development process 00:34:10
through the technical review committee and then if they want any changes from the zoning ordinance, they would have to ask the 00:34:14
board for those changes. 00:34:19
The the county ordinance for multifamily states all the things that he's required to do. 00:34:25
Is where you're saying that? 00:34:32
If it beats ordinances. 00:34:34
Then it goes through without. 00:34:36
A resident, you know, homeowner being able to say yay or nay against if a homeowner was, I mean, that leaves us with no insight to 00:34:39
be able to say we like it or don't like it because I do have concerns about. 00:34:44
The design process. 00:34:50
I do have concerns about the entrance off of Lafayette Parkway. That's that seems a little. 00:34:52
It's a little congested right there. 00:34:57
If a homeowner wants to develop their property within the zoning ordinances and they're allowed to do that without. 00:34:59
Further. 00:35:05
Variances from this body. 00:35:07
But again, we're here tonight on the zoning issue changing from neighborhood commercial to multifamily. And so if you have any 00:35:10
issues with that, then now is your time to voice those to this board. 00:35:14
So how do I get involved in the design process as far as seeing what? 00:35:23
We're not going to give you any further legal advice. We're here tonight on a zoning issue. I would suggest that. 00:35:27
Just go talk to Mr. Neville there and. 00:35:33
Ask him what he's gonna do and if you don't like it. 00:35:36
Then watch the meetings and come back and. 00:35:40
Stand right where you're at and tell us you don't like it. 00:35:43
OK, but he's he's very open I'm. 00:35:48
You'll you'll talk to you. 00:35:52
OK, just state your name and address for the record please. 00:35:59
Linda Lapalooza, 3603 Lafayette Parkway. 00:36:02
My home was probably photographed in one of those pictures that were shown because we're that close. 00:36:08
So I'd like to say that I'm also a licensed realtor and has have been for 25 years and I'm a member of the National Association of 00:36:15
Realtors as well. 00:36:19
And I will say the thing that concerns me the most is that Scottsville Rd. is already a busy 2 lane highway serving residents, 00:36:26
schools and assisted living facility. 00:36:31
And commuters. 00:36:36
An additional height, you know. 00:36:38
High density development. I know we want to clock it as low density but it will increase. 00:36:39
Congestion, traffic, noise. 00:36:44
And strain on the infrastructure. 00:36:46
And all of these changes, respectfully, can diminish fire perception and weaken long term value appreciation. 00:36:49
For neighboring. 00:36:57
Properties. 00:36:58
I just wanted to say I respectfully request the Floyd County Planning Commission to. 00:37:00
When considering a zoning change, you know at minimum require the low density preservation minded plan. 00:37:06
I appreciate what Jason Neville has presented. 00:37:11
He was also respectable enough to say he reached out to me a couple weeks ago and said. 00:37:15
When you have a moment, like to chat with you. 00:37:20
I did call him back. 00:37:23
His voicemail was full. 00:37:24
So I didn't have an opportunity to connect, but you know, I keep in mind that Floyd County is Indiana's second smallest county by 00:37:25
land area, yet already its population density is approximately 555 people per square mile. 00:37:32
So I feel like the Knobs is rapidly losing their rural beauty and green space that families moved here to enjoy. That's why we 00:37:40
moved there and. 00:37:44
You know, once the farmland in the open space is developed, they're gone forever. 00:37:48
Um, I also think that I know that we're not against growth. We're just asking for a smart balanced. 00:37:54
Growth that respects existing restaurants, residents, preserves open space and protects the character of Floyd's Knobs for future 00:38:00
generations. 00:38:05
And I would ask that all of these, I would say that. 00:38:10
The most important thing we respectfully ask is that. 00:38:14
Concerning this rezoning. 00:38:17
To especially ensure. 00:38:19
That it would not be permitted. 00:38:22
To become. 00:38:24
Apartment buildings. 00:38:25
Which we understand. 00:38:27
Qualify under the multifamily zoning permit. 00:38:30
That would be. 00:38:34
So does it go as a matter of record? But that what he. 00:38:36
Applied for was patio homes. 00:38:39
Again, we're only here tonight on a zoning change. 00:38:44
From Neighborhood Commercial. 00:38:46
Where they currently are allowed to do anything under the zoning ordinance and neighborhood commercial and they're requesting to 00:38:48
move to a multifamily and the multifamily would allow apartment buildings. 00:38:52
If if he took it further and got a further variance. 00:38:57
That would be another hearing where? 00:39:01
They can say, hey, we want to build apartments or let's say he sells it tomorrow to you. 00:39:03
And you want to put apartments? 00:39:09
Then you would have to come in here. 00:39:11
Can say. 00:39:13
This is what my concept is. 00:39:14
And then? 00:39:16
We could vote yay or nay. 00:39:17
Again, I do want to go back though if if it's. 00:39:20
By right and he follows the zoning ordinance, sure he will be allowed to do that without any other hearing before this board. 00:39:23
OK. 00:39:30
Currently it's zoned neighborhood commercial. 00:39:31
And he can develop that property as neighborhood commercial if the multifamily is not approved, which I think would probably have 00:39:33
a significant amount of traffic compared to what he's proposing right now to be honest with neighborhood commercial would be. 00:39:39
A lot busier. 00:39:44
And to your concern that you stated as far as traffic? 00:39:45
I think there's going to be less traffic with what he's proposing. 00:39:49
Yeah, I appreciate you saying that. We discussed that with John Kraft earlier and that's what you know, but. 00:39:51
You know, you understand our preservation of wanting to just minimize the congestion and further. 00:39:57
Confusion and. 00:40:03
I hope that it works out because that's a great family here at Edge. So thank you for your time and your thank you. 00:40:04
OK, we have 5 minutes left. 00:40:11
No, we don't have 5 minutes. 00:40:15
Please stop the timer on you. You reset it. OK, well that portion is done. 00:40:17
A lot of time trying to, yeah, yeah, I think you have one more person that would like to speak. 00:40:23
Yeah, come here, allow whoever wants to. 00:40:30
Absolutely. 00:40:32
State your name and address please. Barbara Bridgewater, 3729 Scottsdale Rd. 00:40:36
I perhaps only have. 00:40:42
A clarification. We'll see where this goes. 00:40:44
And I do wanna. 00:40:46
Thank Franklin because he met with me and tried to explain some things. 00:40:49
But I just want to ensure that everybody's on the same path. 00:40:53
When I look. 00:40:56
If the map the colored map. 00:40:57
It's hard to tell. 00:41:01
By the colors. 00:41:03
What things are? 00:41:05
Really. 00:41:06
Where the dividing line is between. 00:41:08
Various zoning. 00:41:10
Classifications. 00:41:12
I'm across the road. 00:41:14
Is that going to remain? 00:41:17
Neighborhood Commercial. 00:41:19
The only thing that will change is the parcel that is has an application. Yes, yes. 00:41:23
And I think. 00:41:32
Perhaps just a comment? 00:41:33
Related to what the gentleman made. 00:41:39
There's A to be a pond, a holding pond or something. 00:41:43
With Jason. 00:41:47
Proposal. 00:41:48
I'm living back. 00:41:51
Almost, I don't know, 15 years ago when Azalea Hills came in and they had to hold the club. 00:41:53
Also have two. 00:41:58
And they were going to be dry. 00:42:00
And there's one, and it's filled with water. 00:42:02
And every time there's a flood. 00:42:04
It washes out my driveway completely and I have to. 00:42:06
Spend a lot of money to take care of that and I don't want to see that happening. 00:42:09
That probably might not affect my house, but it'll affect my neighbor's house, so I just I'm concerned about. 00:42:13
About that. 00:42:18
So. 00:42:20
Did you say you're across the street on Scottsville? 00:42:22
Yeah, right on the Creek. 00:42:27
OK. 00:42:29
OK. Thank you. 00:42:30
That's I think it's a good point. I don't know what we can do. 00:42:36
Did you want? 00:42:47
Do we have time? 00:42:53
Excuse me? 00:42:58
My name is Shelly Stevenson. I'm a. 00:43:00
A joint owner of 3703 Scottsdale Rd. which is right across from the. 00:43:09
Lafayette Parkway entrance. 00:43:13
And I just wanted to echo their concerns, just that we had about just the traffic. I know it's less. 00:43:15
Traffic than it could be with apartments and all, but just that traffic coming out of that. 00:43:21
Parkway because our driveway is right. 00:43:25
Directly across. 00:43:27
And just one. 00:43:28
To see if the consideration I understand Magnolia. 00:43:30
Lane might be a. 00:43:34
Private drive to just see if. 00:43:35
Possibly there's an additional. 00:43:37
Entrance exit that can be made there to alleviate some of the traffic and. 00:43:39
Have coming out on Paley Pike instead of. 00:43:42
Everybody happened to go Scottsville Rd. 00:43:45
It's one thing for the residents, but when you look at that Community Center, it looks. 00:43:47
I don't know what capacity size wasn't mentioned, but it looks rather large and if you have a big event. 00:43:50
Everybody's filing out of that. 00:43:55
Community Center at the same time, probably in the evenings, at night. 00:43:57
That's just a lot of traffic trying to turn left. 00:44:00
Chances are they'll be turning left on Scottsville Rd. most of them. And that's just a lot of traffic. 00:44:02
Just suggest seeing about a consideration of an alternative. 00:44:07
Option to have more than one way in and out to alleviate some of the Scottsville Rd. pressure. 00:44:12
Thank you. 00:44:17
OK at this time. 00:44:19
Applicant like to come back up and. 00:44:23
Speak. 00:44:26
I will be very brief and and each of you have kind of indicated that to the members of the public tonight, but. 00:44:29
This is merely a land use. It has nothing to do with what was. 00:44:35
Presented certainly as I indicated. 00:44:39
9 times out of 10 when somebody's. 00:44:41
Doing a zoning change. 00:44:44
Everybody asks what you're going to do and when they say don't know. 00:44:45
That's kind of that red flag. 00:44:49
The idea tonight with Jason doing what he did was give everybody. 00:44:51
A feel for what was going to be done. 00:44:55
But as I indicated tonight, is actually a down zone. 00:44:57
From Neighborhood commercial, when you look at all of the by right uses, I think Mr. Andrew made the comment about. 00:45:00
This is probably going to generate less traffic I think when you look at the buy right uses that could be placed there. 00:45:07
I would agree with him. 00:45:13
But I think ultimately your considerations are only those that are set out. 00:45:14
In the statute. 00:45:18
And again, primarily comprehensive plan. 00:45:20
Current conditions, character most desirable use, conservation of property values and responsible development and growth. 00:45:23
So I indicated Mr. Walden did a very good job of explaining that. 00:45:29
And I would ask that you follow his recommendations by virtue. 00:45:33
Of answering all of those questions. 00:45:37
Those five elements. 00:45:39

OK, enough. 00:47:34
Farming. 00:47:35
OK, at this point we're looking for a ballot. 00:47:37
Alrighty Frank, loop is. 00:47:42
I'm going to give us a ballot. 00:47:44
Let the record show. 00:47:47
I mean docket. 00:47:49
Docket Spot. 00:47:53
FC or 42624? 00:47:56
4 County Zoning ordinance 2000. 00:48:01
6 Jason Deville's petitioner. 00:48:04
In reviewing the zoning amendment petition, the Planning Commission and the county commissioner shall pay reasonable regard to the 00:48:08
following. 00:48:11
Floyd County Comprehensive Plan and any. 00:48:15
Other applicable. 00:48:17
Adopted planning studies or reports. 00:48:19
#2 the current conditions and the character of the current structures. 00:48:22
And use of each district #3. 00:48:26
The most desirable use. 00:48:29
For each, the land in each district is adapted. 00:48:31
And #4 the conservation of the property values throughout Floyd County. 00:48:35
And five, responsible growth and development. 00:48:39
I'm proposing a decision. After careful review, the Plan Commission finds that. 00:48:43
Rezoning of the subject property is consistent with Floyd County. 00:48:48
Comprehensive plan. 00:48:53
Because conceptual. 00:48:55
Proposal. 00:48:57
Encourages development near Paoli Bright commercial corridor. 00:48:58
Proposes increased residential use away from. 00:49:02
Agricultural areas proposes residential uses. 00:49:06
Near existing infrastructure. 00:49:10
Encourages a sense of place. 00:49:12
Aligns the community preferences for housing. 00:49:15
Options for senior citizens. 00:49:18
Adheres to the action item to encourage creation. 00:49:21
Of senior housing partnerships. 00:49:25
And places patio style housing in close proximity. 00:49:27
To a main commercial area that's explicitly requested. 00:49:31
By the comprehensive plan. 00:49:36
#2. 00:49:38
The rezoning of the subject property is consistent with the current conditions and the character. 00:49:39
Of current structures and uses in the area because. 00:49:45
Failing flight corridor provides various commercial amenities to the South. 00:49:49
Will an existing assisted and independent living facility. 00:49:54
Is located to the north. 00:49:58
#3 The rezoning of the subject property is necessary for the most desirable land. 00:50:00
For the use of the land because the current. 00:50:09
Lot contains 2 underutilized buildings. 00:50:12
Well, this proposal concentrates housing near amenities. 00:50:15
And places residents in an area where they'll generate fewer traffic trips. 00:50:19
Then in favor single family homes. 00:50:24
The concentration of the residential units. 00:50:26
Here also preserves land compared to the same number of units were created. 00:50:29
In a lower density. 00:50:34
#4. 00:50:37
The rezoning of the subject property will not. 00:50:38
Be injurious to the value of other properties in the area because. 00:50:41
There's the commercial corridor is already a more intensive use. 00:50:45
There are existing patio homes for independent living located. 00:50:49
Along Magnolia Lane. 00:50:53
Each to the preferred site. 00:50:55
By the rezoning of the subject property will support. 00:50:57
Responsible growth and development in the area because. 00:51:01
Residential units are concentrated in a way that ensures units have. 00:51:05
Adequate infrastructure. 00:51:09
This concentration of units requires less public infrastructure for housing. 00:51:12
Unit than the county has to maintain compared to the lower density. 00:51:17
The developments there are commercial amenities in close proximity, cutting down on the number. 00:51:21
Of traffic trips generated for those added residential units. 00:51:26
Profound, careful review. 00:51:31
I propose the Plan Commission hereby makes favor of the. 00:51:33
Recommendation. 00:51:37
To the county commissioners. 00:51:38
Concerning the petitioner zoning amendment application at the meeting. 00:51:40
Themselves today. 00:51:45
And a favorable recommendation is made based on the following written commitments. 00:51:46
It would be uh. 00:51:52
The structure is brick or stone. 00:51:56
And single story only near park. 00:52:00
OK, we have a ballot. Need a second? 00:52:04
I'll second that. Let the record show that Larry Biebelhauser has seconded any. 00:52:06
Discussion. 00:52:11
No discussion at that time. All in favor signify by aye. 00:52:12
Aye, those opposed likewise. 00:52:17
Let the record show as unanimous vote in favor. 00:52:19
Thank you. All right. 00:52:22
Let's get on to the next item. 00:52:25
Item number 3. 00:52:28
Docket FC-11-205-35. 00:52:30
Primary approval of administrative subdivision replat. 00:52:35
Applicant is seeking primary approval of an administrative subdivision as a replant. 00:52:39
Of Lot 233 of a major subdivision known as Laxley Springs. 00:52:43
Applicant James Sin. 00:52:47
And representative is. 00:52:49
Jason copper weight. 00:52:52
At this time, Frank, if you'll give your staff report, please. All right. 00:52:54
I've got a docket #FC112535. 00:52:57
Petitioner Jameson. 00:53:04
People they. 00:53:07
Good. You probably have to go outside or we can't overhear this. Thank you very much. 00:53:08
Go ahead. 00:53:14
Location 1105 Beechwood Dr. Lanesville, IN 47136. 00:53:14
Request for an administrative minor subdivision reflat of Lot 233 and legacy springs. 00:53:19
The zoning district is agricultural residential. 00:53:25
The petitioner is requesting to vacate and rededicate the existing 30 foot drainage easement located on Lot 233 within the Legacy 00:53:28
Springs Subdivision. 00:53:32
The easement would be shifted further north to align more closely with the existing Swale, ensure a proposed home on Lot 233 is 00:53:36
not situated within the current easement area and also allow for adequate space for the residents to include a yard. 00:53:42
The applicant states that he has consulted with both the Army Corps of Engineers and ITEM, and that because the feature was 00:53:49
determined to be an ephemeral stream, both agencies indicated no objections to the proposed mitigation and easement relocation. 00:53:55
The Stormwater board has already approved. 00:54:00
The rededicated drainage easement. 00:54:03
For staff comments. 00:54:04
For the vacation. 00:54:06
The conditions in the platted area have not changed so as to defeat the original purpose of the plat because lot lines will not be 00:54:07
modified and the modification for the subdivision will allow for the replacement of an existing easement to allow for residents to 00:54:12
be built while also adequately addressing the drainage area. 00:54:17
It is in the public interest to vacate all or part of the plat because vacating part of the plat will. 00:54:22
Make the lot buildable by allowing. 00:54:27
For development of a residence that will not be located within the drainage easement. 00:54:29
The value of that part of the land in the plat not owned by the petitioner will not be diminished by vacation because the value of 00:54:33
the land not owned by the petitioner. 00:54:37
Will that be diminished as the proposed drainage easement modification will continue to ensure adequate stormwater management and 00:54:41
protection for neighboring properties? 00:54:45
Additionally, allowing the lot to be developed with. 00:54:49
Single family residents may enhance cohesion of the neighborhood as. 00:54:53
Currently the lot is vacant and which in turn may potentially increase surrounding property values. 00:54:57
Staff comments for the minor subdivision the Plat has submitted does comply with the lock standards. 00:55:01
Or lot size standards because there are no proposed. 00:55:06
Changes to previously approved lot sizes. 00:55:09
The, Plato submitted, does comply with the street design standards because. 00:55:11
No modification to streets are proposed. Streets will remain public and Legacy Springs. 00:55:14

Because no changes to the originally approved easements have been made. 00:55:22
The plot has submitted comply with the box standards because the plat will remain accessible via the subdivision St. 00:55:27
Platis submitted does provide St. improvements as required by ordinance. Because no modifications to the previously approved 00:55:33

Alrighty, that's a lot to take in. 00:56:08
You got more information for us? 00:56:11
Here is the overview or the overhead view from Beacon. 00:56:13
And then this is the. 00:56:18
Plan. That's a picture of the lot. It's the most recent one I can find. 00:56:19
Oh, snow. 00:56:23
Yeah, there you go. 00:56:25
So Frank on the floor. 00:56:28
That's what I'm talking. 00:56:31
You're #3. 00:56:33
You said no changes to your review approved easements. This is a change to an easement specifically is changing. I apologize. 00:56:36
So should the wording be? 00:56:43
No changes to the original approved easements have been made except for Lot 233. 00:56:45

That they didn't have any. 00:57:44
Question or problems with it? 00:57:46
And we got that and that. 00:57:48
Hopefully should be all we needed. 00:57:51
OK. Any questions for Mr. Sin? 00:57:53
Good, Bonnie. Thank you, Sir. 00:57:57
OK, at this time we. 00:58:00
Oh wait, we still have to open up for public, right? At this time, we open up for public comment in favor. 00:58:02
Of this applicant. 00:58:07
OK. If that case anybody? 00:58:12

Come forward. 00:58:17
That seems like there's none there. 00:58:19
OK, so I guess what? 00:58:21
