The Vanderburgh County Rezoning Board met in session this 15th day of November, 2004 at 6:15 p.m. in Room 307 of the Civic Center Complex with President Catherine Fanello presiding. The rezoning petitions were heard during the course of the regularly scheduled Commission meeting.

President Fanello: We have a final reading for VC-9-2004. Is there anyone here to speak to that ordinance?


Kevin Winternheimer: Is that the one that Mr. Shively had?


President Fanello: That’s what I’m–


Kevin Winternheimer: He caught me in the hall and said he was going to be a few minutes late.


President Fanello: Okay.


Kevin Winternheimer: He had to speak at some meeting or something.


President Fanello: You’re up, Mr. Shively.


Les Shively: I was talking to Mr. Risch about his road problem. I guess, he’s already talked to you all and the Highway.


President Fanello: Yes, he has. We’re going to have Kevin send a letter.


Les Shively: Good. Madam President and members of the Board of Commissioners, this rezoning request, just to make it simple, do you have a copy of the staff report?


President Fanello: Yes, I think I do. Does everybody have a copy?


Les Shively: Basically, we’re seeking to rezone this little corner here, and the reason we’re doing that is this is a funny shaped lot, as you can see, and the building, this is going to be a building for a medical family practice facility. Without adding this little bit of acreage, we would have to get variances for green space, parking, setbacks, and such, and the staff of the Plan Commission said we prefer you not to do that. We would rather you keep within code and add this little bit, this little bit of property will all go with the same legal description, it couldn’t be used for anything else. By the way, everything south of that is up for rezoning to R-3, so it will continue with that residential buffer. So, again, this rezoning is pretty straight forward, it’s just to allow the family practice center to go forward without having to ask for a bunch of variances, which is what the Plan Commission staff recommended.


President Fanello: And it passed Area Plan?


Les Shively: Ten, one abstention, one no. The, I think the no, although, Mr. Lockard thought we owned the property to the south, and, anyway, didn’t know why we didn’t include it in the beginning. We told him that we didn’t own that property anymore.


President Fanello: Is there anyone in the audience wishing to speak to this rezoning?


Commissioner Mosby: Motion to adopt VC-9-2004, and call the roll.


Commissioner Crouch: Second.


President Fanello: So ordered. Commissioner Crouch?


Commissioner Crouch: Yes.


President Fanello: Commissioner Mosby?


Commissioner Mosby: Yes.


President Fanello: And I vote yes.


Les Shively: Thank you very much.


President Fanello: Thank you, Mr. Shively. Rezoning passes. Do I have a motion to adjourn?


Commissioner Mosby: Motion to adjourn.


Commissioner Crouch: Second.


President Fanello: So ordered.
