there was no precedent for this. Judy Perry asked if they had to file for a variance, could the fees be waived. Attorney Tim Currens said the Town Council would decide this. Judy Perry asked the commission if they would reconsider. The commission would not change their vote. Brad Ott, Main Street Consulting, appeared before the commission requesting a correction to the Walton Minor Plat that had previously been approved by the Plan Commission. The correction is needed to adjust the dimensions of the two lots. Commissioner Bruner asked Mr. Ott if he was moving from one side of the fence to the other side and Mr. Ott said yes. Motion was made by Commissioner Bruner, second by Commissioner Bryant to approve the changes. Motion carried 6-0. Next, Ernie Adams appeared before the commission to voice concerns about the Settlement in Heartland Crossing. He said he built three years ago and built a custom home because this section was to be marketed as all custom homes. But now Hansen & Horn was crossing over into this section and building less than custom homes. He told the commission the marketing plan and the docs in Martinsville did not agree. Mr. Adams is part of a group appealing to the Plan Commission to get some kind of control. At a meeting last summer with Tim Shrout, he said Hansen and Horn was going to comply with the custom homes. Chairman Young said he was disappointed because Tim Shrout said this and the group meeting with him did not get this in writing, he is not putting in what he said he would. Some houses are on a slab. Ernie Adams told the commission that Avon would not O. K. Hansen and Horn to build. He said Hendricks County hung him to what they wanted.

Attorney Tim Currens said that generally how the covenants are written stands before the building inspector's reports. Mr. Currens said when the Town extended it's buffer zone it had to take it as it was, the zoning can't be changed because that is taking their property, it is their constitutional right. One sentence in the covenants states the developer can do whatever he wants to do even though the signage says Custom Homes. The question was asked, when a building permit is filed, whose job is it to inspect? Our Building Inspector checks off against the covenants. Mr. Adams will take the covenants to Tim Currens to read. Chris Underwood appeared before the commission to ask about zoning requirements. He said he was looking to buy some ground and put in five-acre tracts. Attorney Tim Currens told him if he subdivided he had to have plat approval and would have to meet road requirements. Mr. Currens told him to get a copy of the Town's zoning ordinance and read the sub division part as it exists today. Mr. Underwood asked if that part would be changing. Mr. Currens told him the Comprehensive Plan would not change the sub- division control ordinance. Commissioner Bruner submitted a letter of changes for the Comprehensive Plan for review and wanted the members to bring back suggestions to the July meeting. Mr.
