apart. He stated that they replaced four or five streets this year because the trees were planted too close and destroyed the subsurface drainage. Mr. Beikman stated that he thought the placement of the trees should be a Town Council decision, since it concerns the infrastructure of the streets. Margaret McGovern, with Indiana Real Estate Group, was present, representing the Crafton family. She had issues concerning the three, 3-acre lots that ace being retained by the Crafton family. Those lots ace included in the PUD because they need to be rezoned, however they are not part of the subdivision and the covenants and restrictions do not apply to those three lots. She wanted to make the commission aware that they would need two crossovers and that the owner of lot 3 is planning to put a large pole barn on their property. The barn will be located behind the house in the center of the property, along the western border. Those lots are approximately 300 feet wide and 420 feet deep, totaling 2.9 acres. There will be a six feet mound separating the subdivision from those lots. Ross Holloway stated that approximately every other lot would have a crossover to access the major streets and they would cover the lots that the Crafton family is retaining. He also stated that those could be adjusted, if necessary. John Ehrhart asked what the exterior of the barn would be made of. Ms. McGovern stated that that has not been discussed, however it would probably be a basic pole barn, with no masonry. Rachel Hills, of Crafton Court was in the audience and wanted to comment that if, for any reason, this subdivision did not go through, she would like to see the property developed as a park for the community. She believes a park would better serve the community than another subdivision because she believes Pioneer Park is close to being over-used. Troy Bryant asked if they were to make a motion, could it be contingent on their reading of the covenants and restrictions, to make sure that there was not a paragraph in them, which would allow the developers to make changes without notifying the Commission. Ross Holloway stated that they would go on the record as saying that what they presented is what will be done and when they come back for a final plat, if there is anything the Commission does not like, they will discuss making changes. He also stated that due to the cost of the development, they will make sure that it is done right. Therefore, with the minimum square footage raised to 1,600 and the placement of the trees being addressed by the Town Council, a motion was made by Chris Crouch, second by Robert Williamson to recommend the rezone to PUD- E to the Town CounciL Motion carried 7-0. The next item on the agenda was the secondary plat approval of the condominiums at Lakeside Commons. Ross Holloway presented the Commission with a copy of the floor plan of the actual condominium units that will be constructed. There are three of them. They ace all identical, having 1,400 square feet of living space, with a 2-car garage. They will be built on units 11, 14 & IS. Ross stated that these floor plans reference back to the plat that was recorded as instrument 2003-09600 which is the plat that contains the covenants and restrictions for this PUD.
