7th C7 Indiana and they won't give a permit for a repair based on what he wanted to do. They will give a permit based on a total rewiring or a total replumbing. They will not give a design release for the kind of work they want to do. You don't repair the whole building because it has one little problem. We don't want to rewire and replumb the whole house. Councilman Bryant said I think that is the prablem. In June of 1993 the Morgan County Health Department deemed that property unfit for human inhabitance and listed fourteen points, none of which have been repaired. In June of 2003 there was a hearing to try to get Mr. Turner to do repairs that you want to do today. You agreed to begin repairs within thirty days from May 22"d 2003. The completion date on the rafters, windows, soffits on both the front and back buildings was to be completed by no later than July 31St, the siding repair to be brought into code compliance no later that August 20th, 2003. None of those things have been done. We move forward to January of this year and that is when we started the imminent domain proceedings. Doug Turner said that is true but it takes a permit to do it. Councilman Bryant said there is always a reason where you are concerned. You only want to spend $300 to bring that building in compliance and that is not even going to scratch the surface. Town attorney Tim Cuzx'ens said he wanted to say a couple of things, one, is it doesn't meet the requirements of what originally was filed on an unsafe building and two, as far as the Tawn's appraisal it was found that for commercial use, which the property is zoned for, they found the property to have a negative value because the only thing he felt could be done was to have the building raised to make it have a function. Mr. Currens said he didn't think any Judge wauld throw that out; he will look at it for what it is worth. Attorney Currens told Doug Turner he had talked with Mr. Turner's counsel on this case and he thought it was foolish to put improvement into a building that is under imminent domain because you won't get that back. You can't increase the value of the parcel after the fact. He doesn't feel comfortable with you putting money into it at this time and neither do I. Until the court makes a determination on the imminent domain, that would be putting your money at risk. Attorney Currens said they were trying to move this along as fast as possible by trying to get all the pretrial work done and then proceed with discovery. Mr. Currens said he had requested a full day in court and that he is doing everything he can to get this expedited and if Mr. Turner will cooperate with us in that fashion he thinks it will help both of us. I think the standards needed to bring this up to a Class 1 structure are not being met. So, it is mare than adding a little plumbing or a little wiring there is a lot more work to be done to make the building meet the standard for Class 1 structure and that is why the permit was denied. We da not have the right to give a permit on a Class 1 level, which is only thru the state. Mark Peden brought some rezones to the council that had been recommended to them from the last Plan Commission meeting. This property belongs to Mrs. Hancock and is located on County Line Road. Two acres of their ten acres had been zoned to B-3 from agriculture for ascreen-printing business for her husband. There is no longer a need for this business and Mrs. Hancock wants the two acres to go back as agriculture. Councilman Dolen made a motion to grant the rezone B-3 to agriculture, Councilman Bryant seconded. Motion carried 4-0. A motion was made by Councilman Bryant with a second by Councilman Dolen to approve Ordinance 17, 2004 for the rezone from B-3 to Agriculture far the Hancock property. Motion carried 4-0. Dave Renner, spokesman for the Eternal Life Baptist Church, appeared before the Town Council requesting hook-onto the sewer lines. This church is located on County Line Road and is in Hendricks County. "The church burned and they are rebuilding. They will use the building for a church only, not as a daycarnd he demeed they weere anneXnnga° ~e had talked with the Town Manager at Plainfield a county line. Councilman Bryant asked what the zoning was on that property The church members thought it was zoned special needs. The church was built twenty-seven years ago. They have Indiana American water. Councilman Bryant explained that the Town could not annex across county line. Mr. Renner said a mound system would cost $21,000 that would be quite an expense for their church. Councilman Shields asked if all possibilities had been evaluated and asked if they could build somewhere else. Mr. Renner answered no, they own the five acres of ground and it was already paid far. The insurance money would not buy ground, only to replace the building on the same piece of land. Councilman Shields voiced his concern that if this hook-on were allowed it would set a precedent for others in Hendricks County. Council President Worthen told the
