<br />Mr. Jeff Cave, 9435 N. Romine Road, stated they were willing to cut back on their <br />expansion plans for the site, but what would stop them from coming back later and doing <br />the expansion. He also feels there are alternative sites for them to use. He also stated <br />that area was zoned residential. <br /> <br />Mr. Swisher stated that Mr. Cave said the property was zoned residential, but it is zoned <br />agricultural. <br /> <br />Mr. Haymaker said that on the issue of them being able to over ride this board, they were <br />asked ifthey could do that and he stated that they had not contemplated that for they want <br />the approval of this board or they would not be here asking for the Special Exception. <br /> <br />Mr. Young said he would like for Hoosier Energy to look into other options they might <br />have and maybe there is a compromise. <br /> <br />Mr. Barry said the Heartland Crossing Substation at the corner of Landersdale and <br />Paddock Road was built close to houses and it was built last year. <br /> <br />After the Fact-Of -Findings were read a motion was made to grant the petition as stated <br />for a Special Exception for Hoosier Energy at 497 E Bunker Hill Road by Don Barry, <br />second by Alan Kramer.
