The Vanderburgh County Rezoning Board met in session this 16^th day of September, 2008 at 5:50 p.m. in room 301 of the Civic Center Complex with President Jeff Korb presiding.

President Korb: Area Plan or Drainage Board first?

Janet Greenwell: Area Plan.

President Korb: Area Plan looks like what it is. Smart woman.

Janet Greenwell: Good evening. I’m Janet Greenwell with the Area Plan Commission. First of all we would like approval of the minutes, please.

Commissioner Nix: So moved.

Commissioner Tornatta: Second.

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

All Commissioners: Aye.

President Korb: Opposed same sign. The motion passes.

Janet Greenwell: Okay, we have three new first readings to read into the record. 2008-36-PC VC-10-2008, the petitioner is Majestic Place LLC for the property located at 333 South Eickhoff Road, 201 and 351 South Roesner Road. Now, those addresses we issued strictly for the purpose of rezoning the lots. Some of the parcels have addresses, some do not. We issued the addresses to give the general public a better idea of about where, it’s a very large project. So, about where it’s at. The second rezoning is 2008-37-PC VC-11-2008, petitioner, RCR Westside Holdings LLC, a petition to rezone the property at 5001 New Harmony Road. The third petition is 2008-38-PC VC-12-2008, petitioner, Esquire Properties LLC, a petition to rezone the property at 6312 Petersburg Road, 420, 440, 522 Cannelton Court and 430, 431, 448, and 514 Derrington Drive. If we could have a motion for first reading to assign it to the hearings in November.

Commissioner Nix: So moved.

Commissioner Tornatta: Second.

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

All Commissioners: Aye.

President Korb: Opposed same sign. The motion passes.

Janet Greenwell: Okay, we have one rezoning for tonight. It’s 2008-29-PC VC-8-2008. Virginia Development Group is requesting to rezone the two acres at the northwest corner of Kimber Lane and Virginia Street from agricultural to C-4 with a use and development commitment. The address of the site is 508 Kimber Lane. The rezoning was heard at the September 11^th Area Plan Commission meeting, and was recommended for approval with 11 affirmative votes. I have to correct that. I think it was ten affirmative votes.

Commissioner Nix: It says ten here.

Janet Greenwell: Yeah, one of our members had stepped out of the room. I’m sorry. The use and development commitment included as part of this petition addresses the uses to be allowed on the site, and it further commits to widening Kimber Lane to the entrance of the commercial development. The comprehensive plan projects the area as commercial. The change in zoning from Ag to C-4 with a use and development commitment is consistent with the overall development plan. Do any of you have any questions? Good.

President Korb: Discussion on that item, gentlemen? I need a motion please.

Commissioner Nix: Well, do we have someone here to speak to this?

President Korb: I’m sorry. Do we have anybody to speak against or for this? There you go. Just state your name.

Justin Shofstall: Justin Shofstall with Easley Engineering, representing the Virginia Development Group. It would just wish that the Commissioners go ahead and move forward with the recommendation for approval on this rezoning.

President Korb: Thanks, Justin. Any remonstrators? Questions from the Commissioners? Summation? Just about says it all. I need a motion to approve please.

Commissioner Nix: So moved.

Commissioner Tornatta: Second.

President Korb: All those in favor say aye.

All Commissioners: Aye.

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

Commissioner Nix: Yes.

President Korb: Commissioner Tornatta?
