with flat tires. Mr. Beikman said that is what the board needs to determine whether this is a zoning violation or an abandoned vehicle which the police department would need to check out. Commissioner McGuire asked what ordinance pertained to parked cars in homeowners backyards without plates and Mr. Currens stated it was the Abandoned Vehicle Ordinance. Mr. McGuire stated there was a home on N. Indiana St. where they are lining them up in the backyard, but he does not have the address. Mr. Currens told him to call him with the address and he would have Mr. Beikman look at it and report his findings to the next meeting. Commissioner Bryant said the water company had a meeting, in which Commissioner Brown was at, on well head protection. He presented a map showing the five year delineation around the well field, which is only for Indiana American Water Co. He would like to have this map submitted in with Comprehensive Plan. He said if there was any kind of spill within this boundary it could potentially cause hazard to the water system within five years. There are businesses within that area that have been identified as businesses that could have an affect on the water company. The reason he was asking this is that he did not want the town to get into the situation like Martinsville has now. Mr. Beikman said this is something that should be in the Comprehensive Plan and maybe even in the Zoning Ordinance for that matter. He said that if Hill Water Co had something it should be included also this should also be address in the Storm Water Ordinance. Chairman Young asked Mr. Holloway if he had any comments and he said this is something that defiantly needed to be in the zoning ordinance and the overlay district. Within the boundary ofthe five year time travel for the water protection area there should be restrictions on land uses in those areas such as petroleum uses as far as filling stations and such. There are restrictions of chemicals in those areas. They not only have to meet the zoning requirements, but ifit is the overlay areas they would have to have engineering studies done and make plans for their containment areas and things like that. So it defiantly needs to be in the Zoning Ordinance with special restrictions in the overlay area. Commissioner Bryant asked ifhe had and ordinance written to that affect and Mr. Holloway said he did and it was modeled after the Indianapolis Ordinance. Mr. Holloway said he would get a copy of the Martinsville Zoning Ordinance to the board. Commissioner Williamson said he left a message for Mr. Beikman about a trailer being lived in at 231 Maple Lane behind the house. For about a month people have been living in the trailer. Mr. Beikman said that part of the things that needs to be look at with the ordinance changes is the Rule 13 for storm water requirements, our density requirements, the amount of previous surface we require, and there are several things in that line that needs to be looked at. Building Inspector, Joe Beikman, reported 17 permits and 57 inspections.
