REZONING BOARD

APRIL 18, 2006

The Vanderburgh County Rezoning Board met in session this 18^th day of April, 2006 at 4:20 p.m. in room 301 of the Civic Center Complex with President Cheryl Musgrave presiding.

President Musgrave: I’m calling to order the Rezoning portion of the Commission meeting. Do we reconvene the Commission meeting? What do we do?

President Musgrave: Is there a motion to approve the minutes of the last meeting, which was what date? Do you recall?

Madelyn Grayson: March 21^st.

President Musgrave: March 21^st.

Commissioner Nix: So moved.

Commissioner Shetler: Second.

President Musgrave: All those in favor?

All Commissioners: Aye.

President Musgrave: We have three on the docket for final reading tonight. Sunset Evansville LLC.

Matt Lutz: Good evening. My name is Matt Lutz with the law firm of Shively and Associates, representing the petitioner Sunset Evansville. With me I have Mr. Ellenstein and Mr. Nelke representing Sunset. Has everyone seen the staff field report? I’m assuming, the only thing I will point out with regards to that is clear and comprehensive, the last paragraph the updated information dated March 30^th appears to indicate the petition to be from agricultural to C-4, when everything else, the ordinance and the use and development commitment all indicates C-2, which is correct. Other than that, we’re here to entertain these questions you may have this evening, and to request approval.

Commissioner Shetler: So moved.

President Musgrave: I’ll second, unless you want to?

Commissioner Nix: No, go ahead.

Ted C. Ziemer, Jr.: Remonstrators?

President Musgrave: Are there any remonstrators?

Matt Lutz: I don’t believe we have any remonstrators.

President Musgrave: There weren’t any the other night. Why don’t you go ahead and second.

Commissioner Nix: I will second that.

President Musgrave: All those in favor?

Commissioners: Aye.

President Musgrave: That concludes–

Ted C. Ziemer, Jr.: Roll call.

President Musgrave: Roll call vote. Commissioner Nix?

Commissioner Nix: Yes.

President Musgrave: Commissioner Shetler?

Commissioner Shetler: Yes.

President Musgrave: And I vote yes.

Matt Lutz: Thank you.

President Musgrave: Good luck with your expanded parking lot, which is why I understand you brought this back.

Matt Lutz: Yes. Thank you.

President Musgrave: Herman and Kittle Properties, for 2810 Mesker Park Drive?

Erika Scott: Good afternoon. My name is Erika Scott, and I am with Herman and Kittle Properties out of Indianapolis, Indiana. We are here today to request that a small parcel located at 2810 Mesker Park Drive, it’s .17 acres, be rezoned. It’s the yellow shaded area up on the screen, from an R-1 classification to a C-4. We are also purchasing the property that’s outlined in purple, so this property fits nicely as kind of our last piece of the puzzle. The purple piece is already zoned appropriate for the development that we want to do. Just to kind of give you a little background, we are looking to do a self-storage development on this site. We develop, construct, and also do long term management of our properties. I’ll be happy to answer any questions you may have.

President Musgrave: Did you bring any of those pictures?

Erika Scott: I did.

President Musgrave: Because I don’t believe the Commissioners have had the opportunity to look at those.

Erika Scott: What you have before you are, is kind of a company resume. It talks about our owners and senior management staff. We also do multi-family developments. We have a new property that’s actually going in in nearby Newburgh. There’s also, toward the back of the photographs, are two self-storage facilities that we have in the Indianapolis are; one in Carmel, and the other one in Nora. We try to do kind of a class A facility that has plenty of security, climate controlled facilities, on-site management, and that type of thing.

President Musgrave: You said at the Area Plan meeting that it won’t look exactly like this, but it will be similar?

Erika Scott: No, we hope that it will be similar. As far as the masonry, most likely it will not, just because this market in this area wouldn’t bring in the revenue to bring it in. That, and both of those facilities are what we would consider a fortress style, where the buildings go all the way around the perimeter. With the slope of this particular parcel, most likely that will not be possible, so we can make sure that we have enough area for water retention.

President Musgrave: Okay. Commissioners, do you have any questions?

Commissioner Nix: I’m just curious. Your entrance would be off of?

Erika Scott: It would be off of Mesker Park Drive.

Commissioner Nix: Mesker Park, okay. How far back?

Erika Scott: You know, we will be working through the site design.

Commissioner Nix: Okay, I mean, I understand that, but you right now don’t have an idea as far as that’s concerned?

Erika Scott: Probably where the current location is.

Commissioner Nix: Okay.

Erika Scott: Where the 2820 parcel, it will be about that area.

President Musgrave: Okay.

Erika Scott: So, yeah, plenty of, we want to be able to get people north enough off of the highway before they turn in.

Commissioner Nix: Move approval.

Commissioner Shetler: Second.

Commissioner Nix: I’m sorry.

President Musgrave: I want to call for remonstrators.

Commissioner Nix: I’m sorry.

President Musgrave: Are there any remonstrators?

Commissioner Nix: We’re a little out of tune tonight.

President Musgrave: There are not. You have a motion to approve?

Commissioner Nix: Yes.

Commissioner Shetler: Second.

President Musgrave: All those in favor?

Commissioners: Aye.

President Musgrave: The motion carries. Roll call. Commissioner Nix?

Commissioner Nix: Yes.

President Musgrave: Commissioner Shetler?

Commissioner Shetler: Yes.

President Musgrave: And I vote yes.

Erika Scott: Okay, thank you.

President Musgrave: We look forward to seeing this project take shape.

President Musgrave: Jack Tubbs, Mystic Creek.

Justin Shofstall: Good afternoon. I’m Justin Shofstall with Easley Engineering. Mystic Bridge PUD that is before you is for a 20 lot duplex building per lot development. Each unit is estimated to be about starting right around $150,000 range per unit. I would like to remind the Commissioners that the street and drainage plans and all of the waivers for sidewalks was seen before the Commissioners and approved on March 7^th of this year. If there’s any other additional questions, I would be happy to answer those.

President Musgrave: Are there any remonstrators? Is there a motion?
