WEBVTT 00:00:00.642 --> 00:00:06.882 - Good morning. I'm going to call to order this meeting the Monroe County Board of Commissioners.

And we affirm the right of every 00:00:29.941 --> 00:00:35.428 - person to live peacefully and without fear. And we will fight and resist at every step discrimination 00:00:35.428 --> 00:00:41.022 - and harmful policies, whatever their source. We believe in diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging. 00:00:41.186 --> 00:00:49.214 - We also stand in support of our county public school systems, both RBB and MCCSC. All right, thank you 00:00:49.214 --> 00:00:57.632 - so much. We'll now move on to our department updates. Ms. Kelly, good morning. Good morning, commissioners. 00:00:57.632 --> 00:01:05.504 - According to the Indiana Department of Health, as of March 17th, COVID wastewater concentrations are 00:01:05.504 --> 00:01:11.038 - continuing to trend down. Flu activity across the state is still high. 00:01:11.746 --> 00:01:19.165 - The health department does still have combo flu A and B and COVID tests available for free. The public 00:01:19.165 --> 00:01:26.440 - can walk in Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. to receive free tests. Currently, the Morgan 00:01:26.440 --> 00:01:33.787 - County Health Department has vaccines available. The public can call 765-342-6621 for an appointment. 00:01:33.787 --> 00:01:41.278 - Thank you so much. Comments or questions, Commissioner Madeira? None. Thank you so much for the update. 00:01:41.634 --> 00:01:49.369 - Commissioner Jones? No, I don't. Thank you very much. Thanks for being here. Next, we have our veteran 00:01:49.369 --> 00:01:57.255 - service officer, Stephen Rehler. Good morning, commissioners. I wanted to share a story, a veteran story 00:01:57.255 --> 00:02:04.765 - with you this month. I've been sharing some with you by email, and I wanted to come to this meeting 00:02:04.765 --> 00:02:06.718 - and share this in person. 00:02:07.042 --> 00:02:12.588 - So this month, I'm proud to share a story of a veteran I personally served with. She's an extraordinary 00:02:12.588 --> 00:02:18.453 - person who faced her challenges with the same gumption she brought to her service. From firsthand experience, 00:02:18.453 --> 00:02:23.892 - I can tell you she was the tip of the spear. And seeing the VA deliver for her is exactly the kind of 00:02:23.892 --> 00:02:26.078 - outcome that makes this work worthwhile. 00:02:26.178 --> 00:02:32.311 - Activated by the Indiana Air National Guard, serving as a mobilized Hoosier Guardsman, performing Title 00:02:32.311 --> 00:02:38.207 - 10 federal missions from Holman Field in Terre Haute, Indiana, the National Geospatial Intelligence 00:02:38.207 --> 00:02:44.281 - Agency in St. Louis, and ultimately the United States Air Force Special Operations Command at Hurlburt 00:02:44.281 --> 00:02:50.237 - Field in Florida. She served as an imagery intelligence analyst supporting combat operations through 00:02:50.237 --> 00:02:54.718 - the distributed common ground system for over a decade, day in and day out. 00:02:55.234 --> 00:03:01.297 - several years she was my direct report when I served as the flight chief of the imagery intelligence 00:03:01.297 --> 00:03:07.661 - analysis flight at home and field. It's rare that I get the opportunity to assist someone that I actually 00:03:07.661 --> 00:03:13.904 - served alongside so this made this case especially meaningful for me. It's just a little emotional even 00:03:13.904 --> 00:03:17.566 - telling the story today. Her work was critical. She directed 00:03:18.754 --> 00:03:25.891 - Her actions directly affected life or death decisions on the battlefield. She monitored full motion 00:03:25.891 --> 00:03:33.314 - video from armed predator and reaper unmanned aircraft in real time, often for hours on end, extracting 00:03:33.314 --> 00:03:40.951 - actionable intelligence that guided combat missions and protected troops on the ground. Years of sustained 00:03:40.951 --> 00:03:46.590 - exposure to these high stress operations led to severe service connected PTSD. 00:03:46.818 --> 00:03:54.053 - which ultimately made it impossible for her to maintain steady employment after leaving the military. 00:03:54.053 --> 00:04:01.287 - She attempted work in college, but the effects of her condition made it impossible to sustain either. 00:04:01.287 --> 00:04:08.593 - We submitted a complicated claim for total disability based on individual unemployability. Last month, 00:04:08.593 --> 00:04:10.366 - the VA granted the claim 00:04:11.554 --> 00:04:18.093 - recognizing that her service-connected condition prevents her from maintaining substantially gainful 00:04:18.093 --> 00:04:25.085 - employment. She'll now be compensated at the 100% disability rate, which is about $4,000 a month, providing 00:04:25.085 --> 00:04:31.559 - long overdue stability for her and her daughter. Cases like this are a reminder of the work that we 00:04:31.559 --> 00:04:38.033 - do in this office isn't just about paperwork. It's about helping that individual and their families 00:04:38.033 --> 00:04:39.198 - on the other end. 00:04:39.330 --> 00:04:47.051 - So thank you for your attention today. I really appreciate it. Thank you so much. It's a amazing story. 00:04:47.051 --> 00:04:54.624 - And where can veterans and their families get in touch with you if they have similar circumstances or 00:04:54.624 --> 00:05:02.271 - need assistance with claims? Absolutely. I welcome all calls from Monroe County residents. Please call 00:05:02.271 --> 00:05:06.206 - 812-349-2537. We're happy to help in any way we can. 00:05:06.690 --> 00:05:13.715 - Thank you so much. Comments or questions, Commissioner Jones? No, I don't. That's just a very good story 00:05:13.715 --> 00:05:20.673 - to hear. Thank you. Senator? As a military brat myself and the likely parent of one in the near future, 00:05:20.673 --> 00:05:27.364 - thank you very much. And this is not the first story that we hear. Thank you for sending us regular 00:05:27.364 --> 00:05:34.055 - updates in our email. And they're always something I look forward to receiving. Thank you.

And frankly, that's because some of our programs and services are being underutilized. 00:09:13.872 --> 00:09:21.374 - And so we're asking rather than returning those funds to shift them to a community wide radio partnership 00:09:21.474 --> 00:09:26.770 - that will allow us to better communicate the full scope of the services and the programs that we have 00:09:26.770 --> 00:09:32.066 - available through our grant, not only just to the justice involved youth, but the entire community as 00:09:32.066 --> 00:09:37.467 - a whole. So our goal is to hope increase awareness, improve access to the programming and strengthening 00:09:37.467 --> 00:09:42.763 - our connection with the broader community. And with that, I'll entertain any questions that you have. 00:09:42.763 --> 00:09:45.982 - Thank you so much. Comments or questions, Commissioner Jones? 00:09:46.786 --> 00:09:55.300 - Just I know that you do have lots of very valuable programming. And hopefully, this will help more people 00:09:55.300 --> 00:10:03.733 - hear about it. Here? None. Just I echo my colleague, Commissioner Jones. And I think that this is people 00:10:03.733 --> 00:10:12.086 - still listen to radio. And we forget that. But this is incredibly valuable. Thank you. Thanks for doing 00:10:12.086 --> 00:10:14.014 - this. It's a good idea. 00:10:14.178 --> 00:10:21.517 - Let's see if there's any public comment on this item.

Second. We have a motion and we have a second. I don't know 00:10:54.359 --> 00:11:04.203 - that we have anyone here from YSB to tell us about it, but it is a cleaning contract for the Binkley 00:11:04.203 --> 00:11:13.950 - House Emergency Shelter and thus is necessary. Any comments from my colleagues, Commissioner Jones? 00:11:14.146 --> 00:11:21.033 - I don't know. Commissioner Madeira? No, but judging from what I know about my house and the state it 00:11:21.033 --> 00:11:27.920 - gets, I can testify to how necessary a deep clean is quarterly on a quarterly basis. So I can firmly 00:11:27.920 --> 00:11:35.148 - attest personally to the need for this. So there is no doubt in my mind. And there's no doubt that $3,400 00:11:35.148 --> 00:11:43.262 - seems like a very reasonable sum for $800 per quarter. So yeah, absolutely. All right. And then an additional $200 for 00:11:44.482 --> 00:11:52.798 - and carpet that's the yeah yes all right um let's see if there's any public comment on this item you 00:11:52.798 --> 00:12:01.197 - raise your hand on teams or come to the podium glad we didn't get any questions i wouldn't be able to 00:12:01.197 --> 00:12:09.430 - answer uh with that all those in favor of approving the super solution service agreement signify by 00:12:09.430 --> 00:12:14.206 - saying aye aye motion carries three zero next item please 00:12:14.530 --> 00:12:22.893 - I would like to move approval for resolution 2026-03, updated Monroe County ADA transition plan. Second. 00:12:22.893 --> 00:12:31.096 - We have a motion. We have a second. We have Mr. Schilling joining us. He's not on break yet. Thank you 00:12:31.096 --> 00:12:39.618 - very much. Dave Schilling from the legal department. And this resolution, 2026-03, and then the subsequent 00:12:39.618 --> 00:12:44.158 - resolution on your agenda, 2604A and B relate to the ADA 00:12:44.642 --> 00:12:52.773 - the county's ADA plan and the county's Title VI plan conducted a hearing on both of those plans last 00:12:52.773 --> 00:13:01.468 - week and report that no one has provided any comment regarding the plan during those hearings or subsequent 00:13:01.468 --> 00:13:09.680 - to those hearings. However, if anyone has comments, they may contact the ADA coordinator or the Title 00:13:09.680 --> 00:13:11.934 - VI coordinator at any time. 00:13:12.034 --> 00:13:20.266 - and also note that the staff groups that work on these plans are going to be meeting in June to see 00:13:20.266 --> 00:13:28.662 - if there's any revisions that need to be made and they'll do that every year so we can we can stay on 00:13:28.662 --> 00:13:37.140 - top of this. So this resolution the ADA transition plan appoints the employee services director as the 00:13:37.140 --> 00:13:39.198 - ADA coordinator and just 00:13:40.834 --> 00:13:49.515 - spells out the county's duties with respect to compliance with the ADA, and it includes our self-evaluation, 00:13:49.515 --> 00:13:57.718 - which we've gone through the buildings and inspected them for ADA compliance, and any deficiencies are 00:13:57.718 --> 00:14:05.842 - noted and scheduled for repair. And once we adopt each of these plans, we will be sending them to the 00:14:05.842 --> 00:14:10.302 - Indiana Department of Transportation who monitors this. 00:14:10.402 --> 00:14:17.629 - and so that we can continue to obtain federal funds. Sounds great. Thank you so much. Comments or questions? 00:14:17.629 --> 00:14:24.458 - Commissioner Madure? I have none. This sounds, I appreciate all the hard work that went into this. And 00:14:24.458 --> 00:14:31.486 - I think this will be great to have this done. It's very, very necessary. Commissioner Jones? No, I don't. 00:14:32.610 --> 00:14:40.475 - I appreciate having an update and all the work that continues to go into identifying issues and correcting 00:14:40.475 --> 00:14:47.826 - them. And we can see the list in the plan as well by building. Any public comment on this item? You 00:14:47.826 --> 00:14:55.397 - raise your hand on teams or come to the podium. It looks like we have a commenter, Ms. Douglas. You'll 00:14:55.397 --> 00:15:00.542 - have three minutes. Please give us your name and county of residence. 00:15:02.786 --> 00:15:09.691 - Thank you so much. And this is just very impromptu. Maria Douglas, Monroe County resident, of course, 00:15:09.691 --> 00:15:16.460 - and Monroe County Women's Commission member, among other things. But also, I just wanted to let you 00:15:16.460 --> 00:15:22.078 - all know that Monroe County has received, as of last night, some state recognition 00:15:22.210 --> 00:15:31.796 - for your ADA compliance in terms of providing a hybrid meeting and in terms of providing closed captioning. 00:15:31.796 --> 00:15:40.939 - And I do want to take this time to remind everybody that ADA compliance is the foundation or let's say 00:15:40.939 --> 00:15:45.022 - ground floor, right? That's what's, you know, 00:15:45.186 --> 00:15:51.891 - called for by law, but I think that we can probably, as Monroe County, do even better to provide 00:15:51.891 --> 00:15:58.942 - accessibility, especially to local government meetings and information. Thank you so much. Thank you, 00:15:58.942 --> 00:16:05.992 - Ms. Douglas. We appreciate that. And yeah, it's the bare minimum. I agree. And we always strive to do 00:16:05.992 --> 00:16:09.310 - more.

Yes, I would like to move approval for resolution 2026-04, A and B, Monroe County 00:16:33.366 --> 00:16:41.630 - Title VI non-discrimination plan and policy. Second. We have a motion and a second. Mr. Schilling. 00:16:42.242 --> 00:16:53.425 - Thank you very much. This is the Title VI plan that we had a hearing on last week. There's two components 00:16:53.425 --> 00:17:04.081 - to it. There is the plan, which is 2026-04A, and then 2026-04B, which occurs on page 15 of the plan, 00:17:04.081 --> 00:17:06.718 - is the policy statement. 00:17:07.714 --> 00:17:15.245 - this today that you sign both the resolution form that you have the second page of that and then turn 00:17:15.245 --> 00:17:23.293 - to page fifteen on the plan and sign that resolution part B as well.

Let's see if there's any public comments on this item. And again, I will note 00:17:43.298 --> 00:17:49.793 - that there weren't any comments on this document from the public at our hearing or since the hearing, 00:17:49.793 --> 00:17:56.161 - but anytime anybody's willing, you know, wants to ask a question, they can contact us.

We have a motion and we have a second. 00:18:35.906 --> 00:18:41.911 - Yes, Miss Carney is a resident of spice would to neighborhood and she's expressed a desire to go on 00:18:41.911 --> 00:18:48.157 - to a piece of property currently owned by Monroe County for the purpose of cleaning the property debris 00:18:48.157 --> 00:18:53.502 - as well as planning pollinator garden. She's also applying for a grant through the city. 00:18:53.730 --> 00:18:59.408 - And she believes that the city is going to require some contract showing that she has the authority 00:18:59.408 --> 00:19:05.086 - to enter this land for the purpose of cleaning debris as well as playing this pollinator garden. So 00:19:05.086 --> 00:19:10.878 - we prepared a notice of consent to use land for her to be able to use in her application to the city, 00:19:10.878 --> 00:19:16.670 - which is due I believe on Monday. So we're, we're hopeful to get this passed and signed today. Great. 00:19:16.994 --> 00:19:23.592 - Thank you so much. Comments or questions? Commissioner Medeira? I would just thank Miss Carney for her 00:19:23.592 --> 00:19:30.190 - willingness to do this. This is an amazing project. And this is nothing. Our property gets beautified. 00:19:30.190 --> 00:19:36.660 - And the neighborhood really gets to enjoy it. And pollinators get the benefit of it. And it's a huge 00:19:36.660 --> 00:19:43.131 - win-win-win. And thank her for stepping forward and doing this and applying for the grant and taking 00:19:43.131 --> 00:19:46.782 - the time and trouble and effort. So thank you. For sure. 00:19:46.914 --> 00:19:56.767 - Commissioner Jones. Yeah, this is actually something that's very important. Worldwide, the insect population 00:19:56.767 --> 00:20:05.896 - is crashing. There's been very little attention paid to this, but insects actually are what allow us 00:20:05.896 --> 00:20:15.207 - to grow the foods that we eat. And much, much more than that, it's affecting bird populations that eat 00:20:15.207 --> 00:20:16.382 - the insects. 00:20:17.346 --> 00:20:27.275 - to see this worldwide disruption in the insect population is really very frightening in many ways. And 00:20:27.275 --> 00:20:37.205 - every little bit that anyone can do to support insects is very worthwhile. I hope a lot of people will 00:20:37.205 --> 00:20:47.038 - start planting a lot of plants that attract pollinators. And this may be something to highlight that. 00:20:47.298 --> 00:20:55.362 - That's excellent, excellent point. Yes, thank you to Ms. Carney for approaching us. And thank you to 00:20:55.362 --> 00:21:03.746 - our legal staff for pulling this together quickly, very quickly. And I encourage the city of Bloomington 00:21:03.746 --> 00:21:12.209 - to award this grant. And it is neighborhood beautification, environmental support. It is, as my colleague 00:21:12.209 --> 00:21:13.886 - says, a win-win-win. 00:21:14.178 --> 00:21:21.474 - So excellent, excellent idea and so grateful that she and the residents came up with this. So very, 00:21:21.474 --> 00:21:28.478 - very good. All right. Comment on this item. You raise your hand on teams or come to the podium. 00:21:38.402 --> 00:21:46.367 - Seeing none, all those in favor of approving the notice of consent to use land, signify by saying aye. 00:21:46.367 --> 00:21:54.564 - Aye. Motion carries three zero. I would like to move approval for the amendment to the 2024 Sophia Travis 00:21:54.564 --> 00:22:02.452 - Community Service Grant for Redbud. Second. We have a motion and we have a second, Mr. Roddy. Yes. In 00:22:02.452 --> 00:22:06.782 - December of 2024, Redbud books received a Sophia Travis 00:22:07.138 --> 00:22:13.104 - community service grant to fund their youth programming for the calendar year 2025. Due to various issues, 00:22:13.104 --> 00:22:18.847 - including some performers that canceled, they were unable to expend all those funds. A few weeks back, 00:22:18.847 --> 00:22:24.590 - the Sophia Travis Grant Committee met and approved recommending that Redbud have until the end of this 00:22:24.590 --> 00:22:30.278 - calendar year to spend the remaining grant fund. The amendment before the board would extend the time 00:22:30.278 --> 00:22:32.062 - for them to expend those funds. 00:22:33.410 --> 00:22:41.419 - Thank you so much. Comments or questions? Commissioner Jones? This seems very reasonable. Commissioner 00:22:41.419 --> 00:22:49.195 - Madeira? Yes, absolutely. Our goal is to see these grant funds used and very reasonable. All right. 00:22:49.195 --> 00:22:57.438 - Let's see if there's any public comment on this item. You raise your hand on teams or come to the podium. 00:23:07.298 --> 00:23:15.151 - see none. All those in favor of approving the amendment to the 2024 Sophia Travis Community Service 00:23:15.151 --> 00:23:23.082 - Grant for Redbud signify it by saying aye. Aye. Carries 3-0. Next item, please. I would like to move 00:23:23.082 --> 00:23:31.013 - approval for ordinance 2026-07, 3521 South Roger Street Rezone. Second. We have a motion and we have 00:23:31.013 --> 00:23:36.510 - a second. And I believe we, yes, we do. We have Mr. Myers joining us. 00:23:47.362 --> 00:23:59.515 - All right, one moment, please. There he is. Oh, you got muted again. That happened. All right, one moment 00:23:59.515 --> 00:24:11.324 - while I get this set up here. It's been a busy day in the office today. Surprising given spring break. 00:24:11.324 --> 00:24:16.254 - It's like everything is done. Yeah, maybe. 00:24:34.498 --> 00:24:42.304 - All right, thank you for your patience. And I've got my screen here and slideshow. All right. So this 00:24:42.304 --> 00:24:50.033 - is the 3521 South of Roger Street rezone from PUD to RES. It is at 3521 South Roger Street and it is 00:24:50.033 --> 00:24:57.762 - in Perry Township section 17. So the petitioner is actually the planned commission in this case. The 00:24:57.762 --> 00:25:04.190 - way that this came about was staff was working with a property owner regarding this 00:25:04.706 --> 00:25:11.248 - particular parcel and was discovered that the zoning on this property was incorrect. The property was 00:25:11.248 --> 00:25:18.303 - zoned PUD Summersbee and through some research into the Summersbee PUD as well as the Summersbee subdivision, 00:25:18.303 --> 00:25:25.101 - staff recognized that that zoning classification for this particular parcel was incorrect. So the request 00:25:25.101 --> 00:25:31.772 - from the Planning Commission is to rezone this particular parcel from the PUD Summersbee classification 00:25:31.772 --> 00:25:32.926 - to Residential 1. 00:25:33.282 --> 00:25:40.029 - and this is to correct that error in the zoning map. The Summersbee PUD ordinance legal description 00:25:40.029 --> 00:25:46.843 - does not include this land area as part of the PUD and there's an exhibit in the packet that details 00:25:46.843 --> 00:25:53.724 - this. The subdivision plat for the Summersbee subdivision also does not show this particular property 00:25:53.724 --> 00:26:00.606 - within that subdivision. Another piece of evidence as to why this zoning classification is incorrect. 00:26:01.890 --> 00:26:08.931 - Another piece of evidence, a map created by the city of Bloomington in 2004 shows that the petition 00:26:08.931 --> 00:26:16.183 - site has zoned RM15 and not the PUD summer speed. So all this considered, the site does have CBU sewer 00:26:16.183 --> 00:26:23.294 - access. There is an existing two-family dwelling on the property that does have sewer connection and 00:26:23.294 --> 00:26:27.518 - there is sewer lines that cut through the property as well. 00:26:28.130 --> 00:26:34.593 - Through conversations with the property owner and their intentions for developing the property, they 00:26:34.593 --> 00:26:41.056 - have provided information that they were interested they are wanting to further develop the property 00:26:41.056 --> 00:26:47.647 - and possibly add more dwelling units. However, that main consideration of connecting to sewer has been 00:26:47.647 --> 00:26:54.366 - a challenging aspect for them as CBU has stated that they will not extend the sewer services for further 00:26:54.366 --> 00:26:56.286 - development on this property. 00:26:59.010 --> 00:27:06.113 - Right, so this is located also in the Clear Creek watershed and the comprehensive plan has it as designated 00:27:06.113 --> 00:27:12.821 - mixed residential. So here's the location map. We're in Perry Township, as I said, right off of South 00:27:12.821 --> 00:27:19.398 - Rogers Street. Bachelor is to the southwest. And then on the right, we have the zoning map. You can 00:27:19.398 --> 00:27:23.870 - see the gray there showing that it's zoned PUD, which is incorrect. 00:27:23.970 --> 00:27:31.265 - and a lot of the area around it is zoned high development residential, and the plan commission is requesting 00:27:31.265 --> 00:27:38.159 - the residential one district. The property is approximately 1.01 acres. Here we have a site conditions 00:27:38.159 --> 00:27:44.919 - map. You can see the green lines there. Those are the sewer lines that I was speaking on earlier. We 00:27:44.919 --> 00:27:49.470 - have the Bloomington Rail Trail to the east. Something to consider, 00:27:49.570 --> 00:27:56.954 - with respect to this particular property is House Bill 1058. I'm unfamiliar if any further movement 00:27:56.954 --> 00:28:04.338 - has occurred on House Bill 1058 since the last I reviewed this petition, but essentially House Bill 00:28:04.338 --> 00:28:11.723 - 1058 was proposing that a property that has contiguity with a unit of government, specifically like 00:28:11.723 --> 00:28:17.630 - the City of Bloomington, that contiguity can occur through a railroad corridor. 00:28:17.730 --> 00:28:24.799 - It is staff's understanding that the Bloomington Rail Trail would act as a piece of land that could 00:28:24.799 --> 00:28:32.081 - create that contiguity for voluntary annexation. But that is the extent that I know of this House Bill 00:28:32.081 --> 00:28:39.645 - 1058 and its relationship with this property. The property owner themselves expressed possibly an interest 00:28:39.645 --> 00:28:44.382 - in going through that if House Bill 1058 were to be made into law, 00:28:44.514 --> 00:28:51.677 - But at this time, that is the extent of my knowledge with respect to this. Here we have some photographs. 00:28:51.677 --> 00:28:58.638 - This is South Rogers Street. There's a driveway entrance onto the property. And then on the right, you 00:28:58.638 --> 00:29:05.869 - can see the driveway onto the property and the dwelling in the back. And then here's some more photographs 00:29:05.869 --> 00:29:12.830 - of the property. Again, South Rogers Street there and showing that existing structure on the property. 00:29:13.858 --> 00:29:21.311 - and then just a few more photographs of the site. All right, now we have on the screen ordinance 92-43, 00:29:21.311 --> 00:29:28.477 - which established the Summersbee PUD. And in its legal description, again, as I stated, it does not 00:29:28.477 --> 00:29:31.774 - incorporate this particular parcel of record. 00:29:32.738 --> 00:29:39.791 - Here on the screen is the Summersbee subdivision. Again, you can see that it does not show the inclusion 00:29:39.791 --> 00:29:46.509 - of the parcel of this particular parcel. It should be down here to the south of the subdivision and 00:29:46.509 --> 00:29:53.360 - it is clearly not incorporating it into the boundaries of this subdivision. Here we have the map that 00:29:53.360 --> 00:29:59.742 - I mentioned earlier from the city of Bloomington that does show the existing parcel of record. 00:29:59.842 --> 00:30:07.652 - and it being zoned RM 15 back then. And then now on the screen I have the information from the county 00:30:07.652 --> 00:30:15.616 - development ordinance with respect to the residential one district or RES, including all of its primary 00:30:15.616 --> 00:30:23.273 - uses and general development standards. We can come back to this if there are any questions. We did 00:30:23.273 --> 00:30:29.246 - have a letter of support from the property owner. This letter of support came 00:30:29.378 --> 00:30:37.227 - during the portion of the process where the recommendation was to rezone the property to the high development 00:30:37.227 --> 00:30:44.791 - residential to match in line with the surrounding properties. However, through the Plan Commission review 00:30:44.791 --> 00:30:51.926 - of the site, it came to fruition that the recommendation will be to rezone to residential one based 00:30:51.926 --> 00:30:56.350 - on various factors through those Plan Commission discussions. 00:30:56.450 --> 00:31:02.143 - Property owner was initially interested in the high development residential that would have coincided 00:31:02.143 --> 00:31:08.004 - with some of their development goals, but it was ultimately the plan commission acting as the petitioner 00:31:08.004 --> 00:31:13.698 - for this corrective rezone and their choice to rezone the property or recommend rezoning the property 00:31:13.698 --> 00:31:14.814 - to residential one. 00:31:16.514 --> 00:31:22.151 - Okay, so staff gave a positive recommendation and the plan commission forwarded it to the board 00:31:22.151 --> 00:31:28.022 - of commissioners with a positive recommendation as well with no conditions of approval. So now I'll 00:31:28.022 --> 00:31:34.070 - take any questions if there are any. All right, thank you so much. Comments or questions? Commissioner 00:31:34.070 --> 00:31:40.117 - Medeira. I have none. Thank you for the detailed explanation as always. Commissioner Jones. Yeah, this 00:31:40.117 --> 00:31:44.286 - is a mistake that needed correcting. Thank you for doing it. For sure. 00:31:44.450 --> 00:31:54.773 - And we had asked for the one acre zoning because of the lots, the way it sits and its shape. It's pretty 00:31:54.773 --> 00:32:05.095 - much the only thing that could be done with that property under our CDO. So we'll see what happens after 00:32:05.095 --> 00:32:14.238 - this. I appreciate planning staff's attention to correcting this error. Let's see if anybody 00:32:14.530 --> 00:32:25.797 - wishes to offer support, public comment in support of this petition. You can raise your hand on Teams 00:32:25.797 --> 00:32:34.302 - or come to the podium. Anybody wish to speak in opposition to this petition? 00:32:42.914 --> 00:32:51.736 - see none. Any final comments or notes? Commissioner Jones, Commissioner Madera. All those in favor of 00:32:51.736 --> 00:33:00.386 - approving ordinance twenty twenty six dash zero seven signify by saying aye. I motion carries three 00:33:00.386 --> 00:33:09.121 - zero. We don't have any appointments today, but it's a good thank you, Mr Myers. It's a good time to 00:33:09.121 --> 00:33:12.062 - remind folks that we do have some 00:33:12.738 --> 00:33:22.550 - board and commission openings that continue which include the library board and animal management and 00:33:22.550 --> 00:33:32.266 - the health board so if you have any interest please go to our website and take a look around in fact 00:33:32.266 --> 00:33:42.174 - there's right on the landing page of our website there is information about boards and commissions and 00:33:42.338 --> 00:33:54.714 - how to apply. And while you're at our website, we have office hours available six times each month. 00:33:54.714 --> 00:34:07.957 - Just go to the calendar, look it up, and click on the Teams link to share your comments, issues, concerns, 00:34:07.957 --> 00:34:11.422 - phrase, whatever it may be. 00:34:11.650 --> 00:34:20.583 - We always appreciate hearing from residents. And there is also a county alert notification system. Again, 00:34:20.583 --> 00:34:29.517 - that's at in.gov slash county slash Monroe. You can sign up for notification about emergencies, including 00:34:29.517 --> 00:34:38.366 - weather. And we are in springtime, so that's a good thing to do. And you can receive those notifications 00:34:38.366 --> 00:34:40.894 - by text, phone, and or email. 00:34:41.090 --> 00:34:51.671 - The next blood drives are Wednesday, April 8th and Thursday, April 9th. Wednesday, April 8th, 1 to 6 p.m. 00:34:51.671 --> 00:35:01.754 - Thursday, April 9th, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. These are held at IB Tech. Thank you, IB Tech.
