And do we have any conflict 00:01:07.194 --> 00:01:15.958 - of interest that needs to be brought up reference in today's agenda? Seeing none. Is there any old business 00:01:15.958 --> 00:01:24.073 - that we need to touch on or discuss? Nothing at all. And you want to go over the new business we're 00:01:24.073 --> 00:01:25.534 - here for tonight? 00:01:26.914 --> 00:01:35.634 - We're here for development plan approval of a modular home business. 10.7 acres located at 8650 West 00:01:35.634 --> 00:01:44.355 - Flatwoods Road. Petitioners Brett Oding case number PC 26-13. Are you ready for me to start with the 00:01:44.355 --> 00:01:53.075 - petition? As stated, petition is from Brett Oding. Parcel reference in the agenda is zone industrial 00:01:53.075 --> 00:01:55.838 - one, which is light industrial. 00:01:56.290 --> 00:02:03.503 - and the use is permitted by special exception. Industrial one is the only zoning that allows business 00:02:03.503 --> 00:02:10.929 - offices, general retail, warehousing and distribution. The business will be accessed from West Flatwoods 00:02:10.929 --> 00:02:18.284 - Road. The technical advisory committee met on March 24th and reviewed the plans to submit it. All items 00:02:18.284 --> 00:02:25.214 - have been addressed. Development plan meets the minimum requirements of the Ellisville town code. 00:02:25.954 --> 00:02:33.479 - There will be one accessible parking space at the office. 10 spaces for parking for employees and visitors 00:02:33.479 --> 00:02:40.583 - will also be located at the office and there'll be one parking space at the warehouse. The warehouse 00:02:40.583 --> 00:02:47.826 - will be used for cold material storage such as windows, siding and equipment. Hazardous materials will 00:02:47.826 --> 00:02:55.422 - not be stored on site. There will be approximately 10 modular homes on site that will serve as model homes. 00:02:56.034 --> 00:03:02.081 - The model homes will not leave the site until they are no longer selling, which takes approximately 00:03:02.081 --> 00:03:08.188 - three years. When the model homes are ready to be removed from the property, they will be dismantled 00:03:08.188 --> 00:03:14.295 - and removed. Therefore there will not be a constant traffic of modular homes being moved and removed 00:03:14.295 --> 00:03:20.705 - from the property. The plan commission is tasked with either approving or proving with conditions denying 00:03:20.705 --> 00:03:22.942 - or continuing this development plan. 00:03:23.426 --> 00:03:31.221 - based on the 11 criteria has follows.

Two, compatibility of the 00:03:59.143 --> 00:04:05.955 - development plan with the recommendations of the comprehensive plan. Industrial one with commercial 00:04:05.955 --> 00:04:13.312 - uses encouraged along West State Road 46 in the comprehensive plan. Three, adequate provisions for internal 00:04:13.312 --> 00:04:18.558 - management of traffic.

The fire department has approved 00:04:26.233 --> 00:04:33.450 - the radius of turns and curves on the parcel. One accessible parking space is required. Four, analysis 00:04:33.450 --> 00:04:40.947 - of the capacity of adjacent streets to ensure that adjacent streets can safely and efficiently accommodate 00:04:40.947 --> 00:04:48.094 - the additional traffic generated by the development. All traffic should come from West Flatwoods Road 00:04:48.290 --> 00:04:55.145 - There is no reason for concern has the modular home sales will not generate a substantial increase in 00:04:55.145 --> 00:05:02.135 - traffic. Five adequate provisions for public facilities and infrastructures and provision for extension 00:05:02.135 --> 00:05:09.057 - of infrastructure to adjacent develop, develop old properties.

West Flatwoods Road is maintained by the town of Ellisville, 00:05:29.399 --> 00:05:36.726 - so it will be maintained accordingly to the town's standards. Seven, adequate on-site management of 00:05:36.726 --> 00:05:39.070 - stormwater and erosion control. 00:05:39.202 --> 00:05:45.776 - Stormwater and erosion control will be managed in accordance with town and state regulations.

At this time, there's been no written 00:06:30.705 --> 00:06:36.222 - concerns submitted to the planning department about the development plans. 00:06:37.794 --> 00:06:45.004 - Plan Commission action can be in the form of approval, approval with conditions, denial, or to continue 00:06:45.004 --> 00:06:52.144 - the hearing. The Plan Commission has the final say in these matters. Staff recommendation, development 00:06:52.144 --> 00:06:59.284 - plan approval shall be predicated on the criteria I outlined earlier. If the Plan Commission does find 00:06:59.284 --> 00:07:07.326 - that the development plan is in agreement with those items, the Plan Commission shall approve the development plan. 00:07:07.842 --> 00:07:14.648 - Additionally, the plan commission may include any conditions they feel are necessary and relevant to 00:07:14.648 --> 00:07:21.927 - develop the property in an appropriate manner. It is staff opinion that the requirements of the development 00:07:21.927 --> 00:07:29.137 - plan section from the town of Ellsville code of ordinances have been reasonably achieved. Staff recommends 00:07:29.137 --> 00:07:36.281 - plan commission approved the development plan for 8650 West Flatwoods Road and petitioners representative 00:07:36.281 --> 00:07:37.022 - is present 00:07:37.538 --> 00:07:48.125 - This is where the site's located. It's part of the 90 property, former 90 property. And this is an outline 00:07:48.125 --> 00:07:58.020 - of the parcel. And then this is a close up of where the model homes will be located, the office and 00:07:58.020 --> 00:08:05.342 - the warehouse and the lane into it. Is that residential next to it? So on 00:08:05.954 --> 00:08:16.555 - we'll call it the east side of it, is County AGRR. And about where my mouse is, there's two residential 00:08:16.555 --> 00:08:26.749 - lots next to it. It's AGRR, and then there's a field, and then on the other side of that is part of 00:08:26.749 --> 00:08:35.006 - the 90 property, and then Hoosier Energy's solar farm. And then across the road, 00:08:35.746 --> 00:08:44.055 - is about the same zoning. There's commercial in there and in the residential catty corner. Do we need 00:08:44.055 --> 00:08:52.282 - to hear from the petitioner's representative? Sure. Do you have any questions for him or he can give 00:08:52.282 --> 00:09:00.836 - you a little overview. Hey, Jay Willis. Thanks for being here. I don't have a whole bunch to add. Denise 00:09:00.836 --> 00:09:04.094 - did a pretty good job of explaining it. 00:09:04.514 --> 00:09:11.906 - The model homes are just models, obviously nobody will be living in them. The office that's between 00:09:11.906 --> 00:09:19.445 - the warehouse and the models will be one of their models, but they'll utilize it as their office. For 00:09:19.445 --> 00:09:26.984 - the single family to the east of the property, we were proposing a 100 foot buffer yard that is gonna 00:09:26.984 --> 00:09:34.302 - be heavily landscaped. I think we're adding, it's a significant amount of trees that we're adding. 00:09:34.434 --> 00:09:41.963 - There'll be a 60 foot buffer on the north and west side A lot of that's going to be addressed with it 00:09:41.963 --> 00:09:49.418 - preserving the existing vegetation. There's some mature trees already out there Drainage for meeting 00:09:49.418 --> 00:09:57.242 - all the drainage requirements will be reducing the the runoff from this site it all goes to the southwest 00:09:57.242 --> 00:10:03.294 - corner and this northwest corner of the property are our developments only in the 00:10:04.194 --> 00:10:11.184 - Drainage area for the southwest corner And we're gonna we're gonna be constructing new roadside swale 00:10:11.184 --> 00:10:18.037 - all along Flatwoods to help with some of the existing standing water If you have any questions When 00:10:18.037 --> 00:10:24.890 - we had tech review we had two representatives from Beanbloss and Patrick's Berg water there because 00:10:24.890 --> 00:10:31.743 - they service the site and They assured us and I don't remember what they said the flow rate was but 00:10:31.743 --> 00:10:33.182 - they assured us that 00:10:33.794 --> 00:10:42.947 - there was no problem getting water to the site. And I just talked with the director before I came here 00:10:42.947 --> 00:10:51.834 - today and he has no concerns. Is 10.7 acres? Yes. How much of that are going to be used? Only about 00:10:51.834 --> 00:11:00.720 - two acres. How far will this development be for them homes, home sites per se? I don't know off the 00:11:00.720 --> 00:11:02.142 - top of my head. 00:11:02.754 --> 00:11:10.979 - Probably about 300 feet, 400 feet maybe. Okay, and the second thing is how many parking spaces? I only 00:11:10.979 --> 00:11:19.045 - see one that's designated here by the office. So there's an ADA parking spot on the east side of the 00:11:19.045 --> 00:11:27.190 - office, and then we have three striped spaces on the west side of the office, and then we have six in 00:11:27.190 --> 00:11:31.582 - the back in the warehouse scenario. That will be them. 00:11:31.682 --> 00:11:52.646 - employee parking. No one else. There's no one from the public here. Does anyone else want to speak? 00:11:52.646 --> 00:11:59.774 - Seeing none. Do we have a motion? 00:12:01.090 --> 00:12:14.913 - I'll make a motion that we approve. Where are we at here? The modular home. Case number PC 2613. Second. 00:12:14.913 --> 00:12:27.552 - Motion and second. It's approved and passed on PC 26-13. So she needs to take a roll call vote. 00:12:27.552 --> 00:12:29.790 - Steve Hale, yes. 00:12:29.922 --> 00:12:39.291 - Sack Michael? Yes. Pamela Samples? Yes. Pat Weslowski? Yes. Thank you. And since there's no more new 00:12:39.291 --> 00:12:48.568 - business, do we need, can we get a planning update? So next meeting is May 7th, and at this time, I 00:12:48.568 --> 00:12:58.123 - have no new business before me. So if David decides to cancel me, they'll let you know there's nothing 00:12:58.123 --> 00:12:59.422 - that happens. 00:13:02.274 --> 00:13:12.389 - Privilege of the floor, or any non-agenda items? Seeing none, do we have any comments from the Planning 00:13:12.389 --> 00:13:22.212 - Commission? Oh yeah, I have. At my turn this morning, I was going by Arby's area, and lo and behold, 00:13:22.212 --> 00:13:31.646 - a car coming down from the development above, where the apartments are at, made a left-hand turn 00:13:32.290 --> 00:13:42.264 - coming out, and I'm here to tell you right now, I will not ever again vote yes for a development that 00:13:42.264 --> 00:13:52.140 - isn't done something about. And I went up through Mooresville this morning on 67, and they have, and 00:13:52.140 --> 00:14:01.918 - I don't know how to explain it, looks like four foot little pipes, plastic ones, yellow and orange, 00:14:02.850 --> 00:14:13.999 - to get off of the highway. And if they can do that on 67, the state of Indiana should make us do something 00:14:13.999 --> 00:14:24.419 - here on 46. I mean, they come through and they reduced our speed limit from 45 to 35, now 25, okay? 00:14:24.419 --> 00:14:30.462 - I would think that they would have some type of procedure 00:14:31.426 --> 00:14:39.566 - or somebody that's in the safety division of the state of Indiana to show us how we can eliminate what's 00:14:39.566 --> 00:14:47.862 - happening over there. I heard the end out was supposed to do something there, put in some type of barrier. 00:14:47.862 --> 00:14:55.770 - Have you heard that at all or? I can't speak to it. Somebody's gonna get hurt. And we're gonna be the 00:14:55.770 --> 00:14:59.646 - blame because we're gonna say it's okay to do it. 00:15:02.562 --> 00:15:11.476 - And I'm just here to say, and I hope it's, whoever's gonna develop whatever in that corner understands 00:15:11.476 --> 00:15:20.476 - that it can't be right in, right out anymore. Yeah, that was the only way NDOT would allow them to have 00:15:20.476 --> 00:15:29.217 - an entrance because they did try to get one that could go both ways and then NDOT said no, everybody 00:15:29.217 --> 00:15:31.294 - would have to go right. 00:15:31.426 --> 00:15:41.076 - and then make a turn and go back left. But I know nobody does it. My question is, I don't know if you 00:15:41.076 --> 00:15:51.105 - know, does the state of Indiana have a number of feet that the ride in and ride out, the concrete program 00:15:51.105 --> 00:15:59.998 - there? See, if they would put them yellow things in that concrete where you turn to go right, 00:16:01.090 --> 00:16:10.632 - then people wouldn't cross that. But we just sit here and say, okay, the state's gonna let it happen. 00:16:10.632 --> 00:16:20.081 - And I think we should start buckling down on it. That's my thought, so. That's it. I'm done talking. 00:16:20.081 --> 00:16:29.342 - No problem. Do we have any other comments, questions, concerns? Seeing none, we will be adjourned.
