0 allowable as long as under the zoning of Agriculture. Lela Ewers of 11240 North Cooney Road, asked if they could put another business there, Mr. Currens told the Mrs. Ewers that what is before this board is to meet the requirements for a minor plat, it is not a rezone petition Mr. Currens stated that what is still needed is a statement from the Health Dept. Lela Ewers ask for clarification of a road cut, Mr. Currens explained that it was a drive way permit. With no other comments or questions a motion was made by Commissioner Logan, seconded by Commissioner Berwick to approve the petition for the Minor Plat with the stipulations that follow 1: Letter from County Board of Health saying that both of the septic fields meet their standards. 2: Certification that the drainage will not increase. 3: show recorded easements for the septic fields 4: a road cut permit the motion carried 8-0. The next item on the agenda was John Drapalik for RK Enterprises asking for a Plat amendment. They are asking for a set back in the front from 30 to 25 feet and the rear from 25 to 15 feet, this would accommodate larger garages for the new homes they are planning, these would be single family homes. The will still have the 16 feet between buildings. Commissioner Brown asked if there were fire hydrants there Mr. Russell said that they were owned and serviced by Indiana American Water Co. Commissioner Williamson ask if the original plan was to build condos around the pond, Mr. Russell said that yes, that was planned two or maybe one double on the east side of the pond, to reach the goal of density up to 50 units. With this proposal the density would change to 45 or 46. Mr. Russell said that they are proposing a more narrow building and a little longer to accommodate for sales they would to 1,500 to 1,600 square feet. He said that this would give them a third garage and would eliminate some of the visisabilty of drive ways. This will also forces more rain water at the gutter line pushing it down the street more rapidly and more equally down the back swell. Commissioner Williamson about build any closer to State Road 144 Mr. Russell said that there is a 75 foot set back from state Highway right of way and they did not want to build any closer to the Highway. Phyliss Cottongim came forward, she said that 16 years ago this project was supposed to be a 2 year project and that they were supposed to work with the neighbors on the drainage. Mrs. Cottongim brought pictures of the conditions after rains. Mrs. Cottongim said that they have a shed that they pay taxes on but cannot use most of the year because of standing water, she said that they have hauled in 4 loads of dirt and still not able to get to this building. Even in normal years they are lucky to mow by the end of August. At this time James Cottongim came before the board to say that the tile for the spill way is higher then their prosperity,he has filed a complaint with the county and they are supposed to come up and check it out. Mr. Cottongim went on to mention several things about the drainage to and from the Condos. He was said that the small swell does now help; it fills and backs up against him. He asked that the set backs changes not be approved, as it would be more drainage on his property. Mr. Russell responded by saying that yes there had been crawl-space issues that have been addressed but some of the ones that were mentioned were because of the home owner altering the terrain. He also feels that the drainage from the church property is causing some of the problem, and maybe they need a retention pond. He said that are not adding units, they are reducing the count as well as the sizes of the dwellings; they feel that they are enhancing the look of the property by adding the garage
