President Musgrave: We move now to the final reading of docket number 2006-9-PC, VC-4-2006, 12335 North Green River Road. The petitioner is Mark Simmons. It is a petition to change from a C-4 zone to an R-1 zone. Is there anyone to speak to this petition. State your name and address please.


Angie Onder: I’m not Mark Simmons. Angie Onder, 3444 Woodview Drive, Newburgh, Indiana. I’m here on behalf of Mark Simmons, who is a resident in California. Essentially, he’s asking for the down zoning to sell the property, because it is currently residential usage. So, in order for the home buyer to receive a loan for a residential mortgage.


President Musgrave: Are you the buyer?


Angie Onder: No, I’m not. Just a good friend.


President Musgrave: And you’re a friend, not an attorney or power of attorney?


Angie Onder: No.


President Musgrave: Just here to explain the nature of the case. He’s trying to sell this piece of property?


Angie Onder: Yeah.


President Musgrave: Which it has been discovered is not zoned to the usage?


Angie Onder: Correct.


President Musgrave: Before you can get financing, you must correct that situation.


Angie Onder: Yeah. Actually, he has a home buyer. The Bank of Evansville is writing the mortgage.


President Musgrave: Okay.


Angie Onder: That’s why this is happening.


President Musgrave: Is there anyone here to remonstrate against this petition? I see no one. Do you have anything further to say?


Angie Onder: No, pretty good here, I think.


President Musgrave: Alright, is there a motion?


Commissioner Shetler: Motion for approval.


President Musgrave: I will second. All those in favor? Aye.


Commissioner Shetler: Aye.


President Musgrave: The motion carries.


Angie Onder: Thank you.


President Musgrave: Thank you, Ma’am.


Madelyn Grayson: That does require a roll call vote.


President Musgrave: I will do a roll call. Commissioner Shetler?


Commissioner Shetler: Yes.


President Musgrave: And Commissioner Musgrave also votes yes.


Angie Onder: Thank you.


President Musgrave: That concludes the rezoning portion of our hearing. We will move now to Drainage Board.
