Dennis Harrin of 240 White Lick Road questioned whether or not the flood plain areas would be filled and if so how this might impact his property by increasing flood waters.

The board's attorney advised that there is no statutory procedure for this, however, the Plan Commission is the arm of local government which deals with planning and zoning and their opinion should certainly impact any decision made by the Town Council. Shirley Welker then read a letter from Mr. Bates concerning questions on the Comprehensive Plan. Mr. Bates had requested Mrs. Welker to raise these issues since he could not attend the meeting. Mr. Bates questioned whether or not the goal of retaining the small town charm of Mooresville could be maintained when business and industrial re- zoning were suggested along state road 67. He also had questions concerning the traffic on state road 67 and compared it to problems they had had in Kokomo, Indiana on its bypass. He felt that this could create traffic problems off of Keys Road. Signe Nicholson advised that the plan also addressed self-sufficiency by the town which would be dependent upon business and industrial uses. She felt that the business and industrial uses along the highway were certainly consistent. '-- -5-
