REZONING BOARD

OCTOBER 21, 2008

The Vanderburgh County Rezoning Board met in session this 21^st day of October, 2008 at 5:55 p.m. in room 208 of the Civic Center Complex with President Jeff Korb presiding.

President Korb: We have got a rezoning issue that, Mr. Shively has another appointment, and we are going to accommodate him with that. So, Les, come on up.

Les Shively: Thank you.

President Korb: You’re welcome.

Les Shively: I think I’m also going to accommodate the staff of the Plan Commission, too, because this is the only action item I believe tonight.

President Korb: That’s fine.

Madelyn Grayson: Other than approving the minutes of the previous rezoning meeting.

Commissioner Tornatta: Motion to approve.

Commissioner Nix: Second.

President Korb: Discussion? Hearing none, all those in favor say aye.

All Commissioners: Aye.

President Korb: Opposed same sign. The motion passes.

Les Shively: Mr. President and members of the Board of Commission, this is a rezoning for the remaining part of lot 17, right off of Boehne Camp Road, in that commercial area. Just to make a long story short, part of that lot was sold to the developer of the Copper Creek Apartments, they never used it. They sold it back, it never got rezoned. So, it’s going back into the original subdivision, the same classification as all other commercial lots in that subdivision, subject to all the restrictions, use and development commitments. It was a unanimous vote at the Plan Commission. There were no remonstrators. It just basically goes back to the way it was intended in the beginning.

President Korb: Great, so, you’re just asking us to go back to that original rezoning?

Les Shively: Right.

President Korb: Are they going to put more condos in? Is that the plan?

Les Shively: No, no, no, it’s going the other way.

President Korb: Going backwards?

Les Shively: It’s going, it was supposed to be part of the apartments, now it’s going back to the commercial development. They didn’t need the property.

President Korb: Got it.

Les Shively: So, it’s been deeded back, but now we’ve got part of a lot that’s R-4 and the other part is C-4. We want to make it all the one commercial classification.

President Korb: What’s going in there, Les? Or do you know that?

Les Shively: Don’t know. We’re trying to make it more marketable. It’s very hard to market a lot that’s got two zoning classifications. That’s the real reason we’re doing that.

President Korb: Sure. Are there any remonstrators in the audience for this issue this evening? No?

Janet Greenwell: Obviously, I’m not a remonstrator. I’m just needing to tell you–

President Korb: You never know in this business.

Janet Greenwell: No.

President Korb: For the record, your name?

Janet Greenwell: I’m Janet Greenwell with the Area Plan Commission.

President Korb: Thanks, Janet.

Janet Greenwell: Plan Commission did unanimously vote to approve this.

Commissioner Tornatta: On the recommendation of the Planning Commission, I make a motion to approve.

Commissioner Nix: Second.

President Korb: Discussion? Hearing none, all those in favor say aye.

All Commissioners: Aye.

President Korb: Opposed same sign. The motion passes.

Les Shively: Thank you for accommodating my meeting this evening.

President Korb: No problem. Thanks, Les, see you later.

Commissioner Nix: Roll call vote.

President Korb: Roll call vote. Commissioner Nix?

Commissioner Nix: Yes.

President Korb: Jeff, or Commissioner Tornatta?

Commissioner Tornatta: Yes.

President Korb: Commissioner Korb votes yes.

President Korb: We also have a first reading, docket number 2008-40-PC, the petitioner is James K. and Jacqueline L. Johnston. The address is 6611 North Green River Road. The nature of the case is the petitioner requests to rezone from an agricultural zone to a C-4 zone with a use and development commitment. Janet, do you wish to come up and comment on this, please?

Janet Greenwell: There’s really no comment. We just ask that you assign it to Plan Commission for hearing.

Commissioner Tornatta: Motion to approve.

Commissioner Nix: Second.

President Korb: Discussion? Hearing none, all those in favor say aye.

All Commissioners: Aye.

President Korb: Opposed same sign. The motion passes. Roll call vote. Commissioner Nix?
