President Fanello: We do have one final reading, VC-3-2004, change from A to residential PUD.


Marco Dalucio: Good evening. My name is Marco Dalucio. I’m here this evening on behalf of Jagoe Land Corporation, seeking rezoning of about a little over 20 acres off of Green River Road, kind of indirectly off of Green River Road through Galaxy and Constellation on North Green River Road. Jagoe seeks to rezone this 20 acre parcel which is currently being used, and is designated as an agricultural property to a PUD to develop a 96 unit residential subdivision. We appeared before the Plan Commission a couple of weeks ago and received a favorable recommendation by a 10-0-1 vote. We have received, I think, we’ve been, we’ve also received drainage approval, the water line approval has been granted. Erosion control approval has been granted. Jagoe, as you probably know, has done these PUD’s in the past several times in Vanderburgh County, and they’ve been hugely successful for them. There’s a market. They tend to sell them out almost as fast as they can build them. So, there’s a real demand for this type of housing in the area. I would point out that the comprehensive plan also has designated this area as a residentially zoned area, so, we think this is very consistent with the comprehensive plan. With that, Bill Jagoe is here with me this evening if you have any questions, along with Scott Buedel and Ron London who are the project engineers. I would be happy to answer any questions you may have, or would request your approval of this rezoning request.


President Fanello: Are there any questions from the Commissioners? Is there anybody in the audience wishing to speak about this rezoning? I don’t see anyone.


Commissioner Mosby: If there’s nobody in the audience and no other questions, I’ll make a motion to approve VC-3-2004, 3015 Galaxy Drive.


Commissioner Crouch: Second.


President Fanello: So ordered.


Commissioner Mosby: Now you need a roll call.


President Fanello: Roll call vote. Commissioner Crouch?


Commissioner Crouch: Yes.


President Fanello: Commissioner Mosby?


Commissioner Mosby: Yes.


President Fanello: And I vote yes. The rezoning passes.


Marco Dalucio: Thank you very much.


President Fanello: And there is no other business on the agenda, so–


Commissioner Mosby: My kind of rezoning.


President Fanello: I would entertain a motion to adjourn.


Commissioner Mosby: Motion to adjourn.


Commissioner Crouch: Second.


President Fanello: So ordered.
