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 /> Mr. Swisher stated that Mr. Cave said the property was zoned residential,but it is zoned <br /> agricultural. <br /> Mr. Haymaker said that on the issue of them being able to over ride this board, they were <br /> asked if they 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 /> 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 /> 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 /> 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.
