~ 177 North Indiana Street said water lays in that area and asked does this project have a tax base? Another resident stated he had reservations about living next to people who are behaviorally challenged. Other residents in the area, Mr. Martinez, Walter and Thomas Irving, Martin Witte, Charles Carter, and Dr. Diane Johnson all spoke opposed because of such reasons as: Traffic, type of disorders these people would be suffering from such as addiction, and the idea that with a PUD-IE, anything could be allowed to open in this area. Mr. Holloway told the concerned residents that length of stay is a one year lease and less than 5% turnover, the type of person is single, early twenties to sixties iil age, no children, no alcohol or drug abuse, may be schizophrenic, and live on low incomes, some are on SSI. The incidence of danger to children and family is no higher than in the general population. The residents are really reclusive--scared of the world. No one has two cars and some can't afford to drive. After much discussion, motion was made by Commissioner Pygman, second by Commissioner McGuire to recommend to the Town Council to deny petition for PUD-IE. The vote was two for the motion, four opposed, and one abstention. Next, a motion was made by Commissioner McGuire, second by Commissioner Kimmel to table to the January 2Ø, 1999 meeting. Motion carried 7-0. A letter of complaint about Lundy's Garage on Merriman Road was discussed. Commissioner Kimmel said the garage had been there for years. Joe Beikman had talked to Cecil Lundy and he said he began the business full-time in 1991. The Buffer was extended in 1994. That was the use when the Buffer was extended. Town Attorney Tim Currens will look at the dates and report back to the Commission. The use may be grandfathered in. A discussion was held concerning plats that went thru the County as a PUD.

A motion was made by Commissioner Young but was not seconded to take the part in our Buffer Zone under Mooresville's jurisdiction. Town Attorney Tim Currens said they can't go beyond two miles. The concensus of the Commission was, if changes were requested for these PUD's, the Plan Commission wants to hear them. M & M Investment Co. purchased the Eagles Lodge property and will put in Assisted Living units. The property is zoned B-3 at the present time. The company wants to make sure they are doing things correctly. They wanted to file for a B-2 but the building size will be over 5,000 square feet. Town Attorney Tim Currens recommended B-2 instead ofR-3. B-2 limits size of structure and Ordinance doesn't designate R-3 as this type of structure. Commissioner McGuire recommends B-2 and grant a variance for Building size. Attorney Currens doesnt't think building size could be waived at Plan Commission. The Commission agreed with this recommendation. Ross Holloway requested an informal discussion for Condos on Highway 144. /.Áoss Holloway reported R & J Associates third report for the Treatment Plant at the Trailer Park will be on the agenda at the January meeting, 1999.
