There being no questions from the audience or board, Mr. Young asked for a motion to approve or disapprove the rezone from R-I to B-1. Motion was made by Commissioner McGuire, second by Commissioner Bruner, to recommend to the Town Council approve the rezone from R-I to B-1 for Lot 4, Block 25. Motion carried 8-0. Mr. Currens said this would go to the next Town Council meeting for approval. Next was Ross Holloway, Holloway & Associates, representing Diana Krueger, 10640 Holland Drive, requesting a two lot minor plat. Mr. Holloway said this is in Poplar Grove Lake Estates off of Orchard Road. He passed copies of the proposed minor plat and had two other things to bring up. One was they have a soil evaluation report from the Board of Health saying that it is acceptable for a septic system and the other is a copy of the recorded survey of Poplar Grove Lake Estates that has covenants and restrictions. This is a relative simple minor plat, as you can see from the site map he passed out, that it was west of Five Points off of Orchard Road which was a five acre tract minor plat. Some of the restrictions are the minimum size home is 1600 square feet, must be on a block foundation, no slab homes allowed, asphalt shingles on the roof, maintenance of the access drive off of Orchard Road is to be shared, and it also said that the parcel may be divided to create two building sites, which is what they are doing. It also talks about the maintenance of the lake, which is to be shared, and this is a lake lot situation. They have made reference to that on their Covenant and restrictions and the dedication, and this plat will be held to those. There were several deficiencies on the plat and they have made some corrections. They have added building set back lines for both lots to forty (40) feet, added the length of plat turned in, one being it didn't give the deed book or the survey record book where the covenants and restrictions were, and also made some annotation changes on the lead in distances of the plat itself. Lot two is the new lot, lot one has the existing house on it and Mr. Krueger is moving out of state. His son would like to remain in Central Indiana and he hopes to build a house on lot two. They made provisions for the shared maintenance of access easement off of Holland Drive South, which already has a maintenance agreement recorded with covenant and restrictions of the Poplar Grove Lake Estate of which this plat is made a party. This site is served by public water. Mr. Young asked if there were any questions from the board. Commissioner McGuire stated that this had come up before, that a lot as described in the plan is any parcel of land must abut the street and this lot does not. Mr. Currens said that on a minor plat the subdivider shall not have a common drive unless the covenant for maintenance is filed with the plat and recorded with the plat approval. Mr. Holloway said this is a shared driveway which is part of the plat approval and the maintenance agreement will be on the minor plat. He said the board has discussed this in the past and the board likes the streets to be twenty (20) feet wide with eight (8) inches of stone. Holland Drive is only sixteen (16) feet wide, paved with asphalt and in good shape. Motion was made by Commissioner Crouch, second by Commissioner Bruner, to approve the two lot minor plat at 10640 Holland Drive. Mr. Currens said for the record that on a minor plat you are making a determination whether the minor plat meets the ordinance requirements, so it is not approving or denying if it meets the ordinance requirements there is no discretionary function here, so that is how it should be addressed. Motion carried 5-3.
