1- an increasing population of automobiles. Brown Township has a huge responsibility to its current taxpayers to not over burden the system. She would ask that they would seriously and carefully consider any vote they may have on this development. They wish no ill will on the developer, but they are concerned on the impact this development will have on the community. Mr. Brad Hiller, 107 Meadowview Drive, was concerned about the number of homes per acre and that due to State's Budget our taxes will have to be raised. With schools already in the need to expand and Brown Township already paying a high tax rate, our tax rates will have to rise to meet the demand. He would like to see Mooresville bring in businesses and jobs, not in that field, but on the out side of town so the citizens of Morgan County would have a place to work. Mr. Ulrich Angiketon, 114 Oakview Dr., was concerned about traffic turning from Hadley Road onto Johnson Road. The traffic is already heavy and with the development of the subdivision it would only get worse. Mrs. Vickie Lassiter, 4092 E. Hadley Road, asked what the Comprehensive Plan shows for low-density is this area. Mr. Young replied that it was low-density. She asked how many homes were allowed per acre. Mr. Young replied four. Mr. Scott Benko, 114 Kingsview Drive, asked why Kingsview Dr., being the main artery on the north side of Grandview, would be used for construction traffic. He has two children and he is concerned about the traffic. He asked about fire protection with the homes being only twelve feet apart. Mr. Marty Mann, 101 Meadowview Drive, stated that at the comer of Meadowview and Fountain Drive is a four way stop and no one stops there now, so who will patrol the area. Mr. Chuck Peterick, 205 Creekview Circle, asked about the price of the homes being built. His home is worth about $175,000.00 and if these sell for $80,000.00 that is about half of the price of his. He asked what would happen to this project if the Board turned down the proposed project. Then he asked how he could get on the Board. Mr. Currens stated the Board was appointed by various groups, some by the Town Council as a whole, by the Town Council President, for the buffer zone by the Circuit Court Judge and this is all pursuant to the Indiana Law. He asked what would happen if the board said no to the development and if the residents had a right to say no for the use of their streets. Mr. Currens replied that the streets were dedicated to the Town and they have a right to make a decision on the use. The board has several alternatives for making their decision. Mr. Chris Downing, 204 Ridgeview Court, was opposed to the subdivision because of the added traffic congestion. Mrs. Robin Jennings, 106 Meadowview Dr., was concerned about the school over crowding. The traffic does not stop for the stop signs.
