MOORESVILLE PLAN COMMISSION MINUTES THURSDAY, OCTOBER 23, 2003, 7:00 P. M. The Mooresville Plan Commission met in regular session on Thursday, October 23, 2003, at 7:00 P. M. at the Mooresville Town Hall. Commission members present were: Chairman Mike Young, Chris Crouch, Tim Bennett, Jim Bruner, Troy Bryant, Charles McGuire, John Ehrhart, Robert Corbin, and Robert Williamson. No members were absent. Town attomey Tim Currens was present. A motion was made by Commissioner Bryant, a second by Commissioner Williamson to approve the minutes with a correction of a spelling error on page 4, of September 25, 2003. Motion carried 9-0. The Plan Commission accepted a letter of request to continue a filing for Hopkins and Crafton PUD- R or PUD-E to the November meeting. Next, was a discussion for the change of time of meeting dates to 6:00 P. M. thru the month of March. Due to Thanksgiving and Christmas being on the regular meeting dates, the dates were changed to November 13 and December II immediately following the Board of Zoning Appeals meeting. Chairman Mike Young announced this meeting was a Public Hearing for the adoption of the Comprehensive Plan and asked if there was anyone from the audience who wanted to speak. No one from the audience commented. Attorney Currens asked if there were any additional comments from the board. Commissioner Bryant asked the commission to look at page 24 dealing with High Street from Indiana Street east says because of accessibility and visibility both sides of High Street should be used for General Business in this district. He asked if this was High Street all the way to the 67 corridor in the Town industrial district. His thoughts were to use the railroad track west as local business (B-2 zoning) and east of railroad track for general business. Because anytime business is referred to in the plan there isn't much of distinction between professional business, local business, and general business. He asked if anyone saw that as a problem or was he reading into it more than he needed to. Attorney Tim Currens said general business and local business were cut off kind of by the size of business. He said he could see where there might be some types of general business they might not want there. He said he guessed you could do first come, first serve. Really, it depends on traffic visibility and how they come to you because some types of general business you might want and say it would greatly improve the area. Commissioner Bryant asked if they would be able to make that determination without going against what the comprehensive plan says. Attorney Currens said he was trying to think thru this. He said the question was valid and he could see what he was saying because no wider than High Street is, some things would not be good there just because they would create problems.
