commission could do. Mr. Kollmeyer said he was thinking more in the line of demolition cost and putting in the parking lot. Mr. Currens said this certainly is something that would fall within the criteria of the statute and be an allowable use. Ms. Humes said that she had some recommendation from a national consultant firm; she had pictures of downtown and 39 W. Main, and one of the recommendations was to put up a brick entrance into the parking lot, which would make it more attractive and make it compatible with the surrounding buildings. It might be the Commission could consider at some of those enhancement that could be done, rather than doing the basics for a parking lot. Mr. Currens said that had certainly been discussed. Councilman Troy Bryant would not want a flat piece of asphalt, he would like to some sort of island in the middle. He said if the commission could pay for a lot of that cost it certainly, would be a big help. Mr. Kollmeyer said that something that has bothered his since him was on the Town Council is the drainage ditch that runs along west side of Indiana Street right by the High School, Northwood School. For years there was raw sewage from Victor Drive running through it until they got on the sanitation system. Right now children walk tight next to the road on the east side, which he thinks is too close. He would like to see some sewer work and a sidewalk installed on the west side. Mr. Bryant asked Mr. Currens if this was responsibility of the town or the school? Mr. Currens said it was half and half, so the ditch was necessary to carry the water and to close it could cause some problems. You get more water that any piping can hold, it could back into homes, and so they have looked at this in the past. Another thing is the way it comes down. He thinks the town owns to about the middle of the ditch and on the other side is the adjoining property owner all the way up. Mr. Bryant asked if they could get a drainage pipe large enough to carry the water, would they still have an issue over who would pay the full cost, because of dual ownership? Mr. Currens said they would probably need to get easements. But you would need to get a good engineering study to do it tight, because there are some pipes that come into the ditch from homes and if it' s blocked the water will start backing up with a tremendous force. Years ago Bill Abbott looked at this and said the best ditch for carrying water was an open ditch, because of those problems. He said it has been an eyesore for years. Mr. Kollmeyer said it is a terrible eyesore, some people will occasionally cut the weeds, lot of people don't, or they will cut once every six to eight weeks. Mr. Currens said the starting point would be to look at the engineering to see whether or not you could pipe it in a manner you would feel would carry that amount of water without creating problems. He thinks anyone would gladly give the easements to get the problem fixed. He said the cul-de-sacs would need to be restructed. Mr. Kollmeyer asked Ms. Humes to explain the area that is being voluntarily annexed and what they talked about last meeting. The property that is referred to as Don Adams property is actually owned by Don Adams and Terry VanWinkle. This ninety some acres of farmland is adjacent to TOA site and the water tower, and this is what is being annexed. She has had a manufacturing project that was interested in that site and that is what started the request. Since that time the project is requiring more land than what Mr. Adams is willing to sell. He had planned to keep acreage on Bethel Road. The size of the building has increased and would require going over to Bethel Road. So the owners have decided not to sell to this particular project, but they will still go ahead with the annexation. The sixteen-acre site known as the Hall property and she would have to consult Mr. Currens whether or not they can bring this area into 3
