The applicant filed an application for development approval for property at 150 Hilton Way.
The proposed development is on approximately 28 acres and is 150,000 sq ft development that would
house office space, cafeteria, outdoor dining space. The development plan has received River Ridge
approval and is on file with Planning and Zoning office.
Mr. Pruitt - we have been going back and forth with the applicant, it appears they are to table.
Mr. White—made the motion to table the application, seconded by Dr Fleming, and motion
passed 5-0.
PC-18-20
The applicate filed a development plan application for 2.6 acres located at 222 West Maple
Street. The proposed development for multi-family housing is located in the downtown resident overlay
district. The applicant is requesting a waiver from landscape and signage standards.
David Sanders, Paul Primavera&Associates 301 East Chestnut St Corydon
• This is the property owned by the Redevelopment Authority bound by Court, Mulberry and
Maple Street.
• A residential tower structure. Two building with 240 units with a mix of studio, one and two
bedroom apartments. Parking garage with 291 spaces.
• This may be the first project in the DROD. We met considerably with staff, Mayors office
and Redevelopment Authority to come to a consensus as to what was needed.
• Zero set back facilitates the need for variance from the tree ordinance.
• This is in the DC - downtown commercial overlay on the front portion so there is some of the
standard DC tree that may impact that as well.
John Orfield, Boca Pow Architect- appeared before the Commission
• Pictures of aerial overall project presented; showing two building that front on the street that
are separated by a parking garage that provides all the required parking for residents that
lives there. Immediately north of park;
• Predominately masonry building, using historical brick, stone base with panelized top with a
cornice and bay windows around the building.
Questions: Mr. McCutcheon- do they base this like residential where every tenant gets 2
parking spaces? It is 1.33, our project is 1.36.
Public comment:
Mike Moore, 803 East Court Avenue. We have been working on this project for a couple of
years. Redevelopment has been given the task of recreate, reproduce and this project on that sight,
brings in true class A housing at a time when our City is busting at the seams with new business. We
need to concentrate on high housing as well as other housing. I would appreciate the support of this
commission.
Board questions:
Mr. Avery, this is very impressive, I think the downtown overlay district goal is 700 new
residents, 24 hours a day spending money living there making one of the most dynamic downtown areas
in this part of the country. Very nice to see someone invest that much money in the area. The economic
quality and the vitality that is added to downtown Jeffersonville is very significant.
Mr White- point out what you are talking about regarding signs?
Mr Orfield - The standard is written is to allow so much signage per square foot and because of
the scale of this building they are asking for a little bit of additional signage and the typical application
Jeffersonville Plan Commission Meeting—May 29, 2018 Page 2 of 11
with a monument sign doesn't fit with zero set back. I don't know if we are exceeding that 1.25 that
much,but we are exceeding the maximum of 200. This is so we can have visibility of signage.
Mr. White- that is a collimation of all the signs?
Mr. Orfield - Yes, all the signs.
Mr. White- do you know if the sign is going to have back lighting?
Mr. Orfield - It will not be neon, it will be backlit channel letter kind of sign. We had some
blade signage which would project from the building and be vertical and ecstatic.
Mr. Pruitt - essentially the scale of the building necessitates more signage than normally.
Normally there would be 4 or 5 building in a block like this and each building would get would get their
set standard set of signage. This is large and needs more.
Mr. Orfield - You can see the kind of feel and we are looking at lighting that blends very well.
All in all it is going to fit very well with the quality of product that Waypoint is looking to do.
Dr Fleming- it is a very attractive project, we need this high density apartment living. I hope
you market this for people who want to walk and bike. I would like to see you give the first 25 tenants a
free bike.
Mr. Orfield - I think by nature the tenants you are going to attract are those people that have a
desire for walking, and biking. The goal is to attract tenants, but I do think the younger folks who like to
partake in biking this is obviously set up perfectly.
Dr Fleming- and I really want to see immaculate grounds keeping. But if you look around
sometimes the downtown area it is trashed on weekends.
Mr. Orfield- Most of the grounds we have,have about 5-10' strip grounds to keep. I cannot
speak for the Waypoint maintenance but I don't think they will invest kind of a development and not
have it maintained at that level.
Dr Fleming- where is the bus stop?
Mr. Orfield - I don't know the ways that bus stops are established. There is one at the corner of
Penn and Mulberry.
Dr Fleming- It needs to be covered and attractive.
Mr. White- and at Penn and Court I believe there is a bus stop.
Mr. Avery- this connects on the River Green Way on the last leg of Silver Creek that will be
completed this summer, that will go to New Albany and into Louisville for biking and walking.
Mr. White made the motion to approve the application, seconded by Dr Fleming and motion
passed 5-0.
PC-18-21
The application is requesting a zoning change for approximately 32 acres at 4203 Middle Road.
The property is currently zoned R1, R2 and M1 and the requested zoning is to PD . The proposed
development is for the creation for 110 lots for single family residential. 38 of the lots will be located
east of Charlestown Pike and the remaining 72 will be on the west side of Charlestown Pike. The
rezoning request is for the Williams Crossing Development which is requesting is to be Planned
Development.
John Kraft, Young, Lind Endres & Kraft 126 West Spring Street. An item that needs to be
touched on Mr. McCutcheon, President, the first part of that staff report is this is not property on Middle
Road; the property is at 3719 Charlestown Pike. It is in fact a zoning request, also on this docket this
evening is a preliminary plat. I will try to touch on both but ultimately the rezoning will require
recommendation from this Board to the City Council. It should also reflect the acreage involved in the
request for the preliminary plat and likewise the rezone is 28.46 acres.
Jeffersonville Plan Commission Meeting—May 29, 2018 Page 3 of 11
• J T Development LLC - two successful developers. They have teamed up in order to bring to
you the request on the rezone.
• They did meet with neighbors and originally the design of this project was going to come in off
of Bailey from a stub street. What was modified as a result of that meeting this now comes in
and does not cross through Bailey. It comes in at the very beginning and takes a redesign of
those lots as you will see in the plat and actually with this development would lose two of those
existing lots down to 108. There has been discussion with Mr. Pruitt dealing with the fact that
Bailey is a stub street and Planning and Zoning normally like to see stub street used. In this
instance the developers said we are willing to make that change. But we will leave that at the
option of the Plan Commission.
• The rezoning itself is to a Planned Unit Development district by virtue of the request that
Jeffersonville needs good housing. It is a project that by allowing the Planned Development
district they are able to move forward on this and if you look at those Statutory requirement
under the terms of rezoning request whether it be a PUD, whether it be any other request would
be to look at the compressive plan, the current conditions, and character of structures and uses in
each district. Most desirable uses for which property is intended, conserves property values
throughout the jurisdiction and responsible development and growth. They have put together a
plan they believe would meet those requirements.
Kristen Lee Compton with Blankenbeker& Son Inc. Ms. Compton read a letter from Mr.
Blankenbeker regarding the proposed PUD - Williams Crossing. Generally we do not discuss drainage
at Plan Commission meeting but in this case I want to convey a few things about the drainage
downstream from this sight. The drainage from this property passes through Crimson Point onto
Jackson Heights. Both cu-da-sacs have a history of flooding during torrential rains. When I was first
approached about developing the property we discussed this at length. I also discussed it with Any
Crouch, City Engineer, and other members of Jeff City staff at my suggestion the developers have
agreed to install a large earthen dam across the entire valley of the property that will form a lake on the
property. This lake will serve as a retention basin, the developers have committed to a 50%reduction in
run off from the predeveloped sight to the post developed sight. This will be accomplished by having a
large storage capacity in the lake so that when it rains the lake will take the serge and then slowly let it
out much like a bath tub. While no one can guarantee that no flooding will every occur in Crimson
Point or Jackson Height we can say that the property will reduce by 50%the rate of flow of water it
contributes to these down streamed neighborhoods. This reduction should improve downstream
conditions from the way they are today once the dam is built. The vast majority of the property drains
toward Creek Stone Ridge. I have met with residents there and devised a plan to install a pipe to remove
that drainage from Creek Stone Ridge and into the lake as well. The final drainage plans have not been
designed and are subject to approval by the City Board.
Secondly, I want to let you know how we laid this out with traffic safety in mind. None of the lots
except with the one with existing home on it now will have a driveway onto Charlestown Pike. All new
driveways will be internal to the new streets in the subdivision; we only have two entrances onto
Charlestown Pike. One on the east side of Charlestown Pike lots but line directly across from Penny
Lane which is at the top of a hill being the perfect place for an entrance. The other to serve the west side
of Charlestown Pike lots which is at the bottom of a hill being the second best place for an entrance
which will replace an existing driveway to the property. Mr. Crouch and I met at the sight and Mr.
Crouch timed cars traveling along Charlestown Pike from the proposed new west side entrance and
found that the vision clearance from the oncoming cars will exceed standards for safety. We are also
proposing to dedicate 60 feet of right away for Charlestown Pike for its future improvements.
Jeffersonville Plan Commission Meeting—May 29, 2018 Page 4 of 11
Lastly, we meet with the neighbors on multiple occasions, we have heard their concerns and have
devised an option for the Board to consider with an area south of the lake to Crimson Point. The
submitted plan indicated 11 lots there, access by Bailey Drive. The residents there prefer that these lots
not be accessed by Bailey but instead be accessed by Crimson Point drive. You can see both options on
the plan submitted. This change would result in a loss of two lots for the developers and additional cost
to build a longer street.
Mr. Kraft- We are here this evening to address the issue with regards to the Plan Unit Development
District asking for the rezone and in doing so we would ask for a favorable recommendation from the
Plan Commission and likewise we would ask for the approval of the preliminary plan.
Mr. White—you are moving the homes west and then creating the road behind the original proposal?
Mr. Pruitt pointed out the change.
Public Comment:
Mike Moore- 803 East Court Avenue. I love the fact that the developers meet with the neighbors
and modified their plan. I would ask that this Board consider that change, obviously it is a loss of
revenue,but I think it goes a long way to making a happier City. I have known Jim Johns for years, I
believe it was two years ago his development in Floyd County was named the Development of the Year.
Don is the acting vice president for the State Builders Association. Folks we have some quality guys
who, want to do a project. The more we grow the less the tax burden is on the homeowner. As we grow
and make improvements on our streets, our police and fire keep in mind that growth keeps our taxes
down. I like this project, and I would appreciate your approval with the revision not going through
Bailey.
Jimmy Johns - when we met with the neighbors, the 10 houses on Bailey they prefer that they be
patio style for seniors so there would be less traffic flowing. They will be craftsman style and maybe
two story. Two people vs family. The right side of the Road which is closer to 265 would be start out at
$200-$235 slabs and on the left side of the road would have basements walkouts $235-$285. The lake
will have walking trails all the way around it that will connect with sidewalks throughout the entire
development and we intend on holding the lots the sidewalks 7 feet vs the 4 which gives you more area
for plantings and stuff. It will all be landscaped, and lighted. The walking trails and some talk of a dock
but you know that is down the road with the approval process.
Mr. White - what is the lowest price the homes will be building?
Mr. Johns - $210,000 up to $300,000, depending on the home and market conditions. Trying to do it
so everyones inclusive. We think most will be single family except for over at Crimson Point, those ten
homes.
Public Comment:
Shannon Den 3710 Bailey Drive- Crimson Point. We had a street meeting, it was well attended
by people in the neighborhood and at that point we were not aware of the second plan for the access to
the new homes. But I can tell you that we were delighted that there might be a second way other than
the traffic through Crimson Point. Those of us at Crimson Point would appreciate that consideration.
And we are happy for the developers, we think this is going to be good deal for all of us.
Board Questions:
Mr. Avery- In the summary you have flipped no access through Bailey so all three
neighborhoods will be self-contained with no thru traffic which is much safer. Patio houses will back up
back to back, that will be good and then you have only one access point to Charlestown Pike and so you
are getting an infill project close to the express way. Charlestown Pike is on KIPDA list of road
improvements which will probably be the next one Jeffersonville done probably in about three years.
Then it looks like on the south side you are backing up to a railroad track which improves that. I think
this is well thought out and very well put together.
Jeffersonville Plan Commission Meeting—May 29, 2018 Page 5 of 11
Mr. Kraft - That would be correct, this is the original developers plan when they met with the
neighbors to answer that and that shows what now comes out Crimson and off of Bailey.
Mr. White—is that an active railroad? Yes
Mr. White—I was just wanting to make it a bike peddling trail.
Dr Fleming—when you do your calculation with your drainage plans will reduce runoff by 50%,
you are looking at property before drainage mitigation and after. Do you take into account the
impervious surfaces of the roofs and the driveways?
Mr. Kraft - That would be a question for Mr. Blankenbeker, but I believe the answer is yes.
Dr Fleming—how do you maintain the lake with mosquito vectors for disease and all and how
do you keep it from just becoming an algae swampy mess?
Mr. Kraft - I have two lakes that a company out of Seymour, Aquatics Control, spray it twice a
year. They also maintain the water itself. And then the other question—after the homes are 100%
complete we made a commitment to reduce the drainage 50% after the homes are complete. The lake
should be able to take a rain of like 2 inches. Some of the water comes from up above, by High Jackson
down this way. But I think it will eliminate all the water they get off this property now.
Mr. Pruitt—Not related to Bailey because that is not going to connect potentially now if you take
the correction that they have presented here the other neighborhoods that are stub streets that do have the
option to expand in the future. Lavern Way has two ends that terminate into adjacent property and
Willard Drive also has two. Potentially in the future, but not today. This is a standard practice.
Mr. Avery—made the motion to approve a favorable recommendation to the Council; seconded
by Mr. White and motion passes 5-0.
PC-18-27
John Kraft—we tried to present this to deal with the time element for a preliminary plat. The
approval of the plat would be based on what we just presented in the form of the preliminary plat with
the staff report it covers those elements with the matrix with regards to what we need to be done under
the preliminary plat if it were not rezoned to a Planned Unit Development district. With a favorable
recommendation if the City Council see fit to pass the rezone and you would approve the preliminary
plat this evening then that would allow the developers to proceed to the final plat after the rezone. We
would certainly request that you grant the approval of the preliminary plat understanding it is subject to
the rezone before the City Council.
Public comment: none
Board comment/questions:
Mr. White—from my perspective, option 2 which has the entrance on Crimson Way is more
appropriate from a public safety perspective.
Mr. Pruitt—recap, this is an approval with an amendment as presented, this will not come before
you again. I want to make this clear to the new developers, we are very excited about new housing. I
want to make sure you know there are few standards you have already mentioned. One is street lighting;
we do have an ordinance that requires it. Sidewalks are required; you are providing that as well. Your
lot conformation, you already changed that, but the purpose of the PUD is to get more efficient use of
space. The last thing is the landscaping, we do have a requirement for two deciduous trees basically per
lot; it is written in the staff report and hopefully you will provide through street trees.
Mr. Avery made the motion to approve application, Mr. White seconded, motion passes 5-0.
Mr. White—I know we just took away 2 lots and we are requiring you to do a whole bunch but if
you could think about a few house at maybe $180 or$160 that would be appreciated.

The applicant filed a development plan application for property at the corner of Vissing Park
Road and Windmill Lane. The proposed development is 5 building multi-family development with a
total of 96 units.
Chris Brown, BT Engineering on behalf of Autumn Ridge of Jeffersonville IN 2, LLC. We have
the owners here this evening as well as the architect of record, K4 Architects. They will be available for
any questions.
This will serve some additional housing market needs for Jeffersonville. It complements the
existing Autumn Ridge Apartments that are within the community. It is a total of 96 dwelling units that
are housed in 5 new buildings; 3 stories containing 12-24 units surrounded by landscaping and green
space to exemplify the quality of the land development. This sight is surrounded by C2, M2, and mixed
R2 zoning in the area. Two entrances as well as landscaping that will be provided on sight. We are
requesting of an overlap in landscape easement along the R2 property line. 35' landscape easement will
be provided overlapped with the 35' set back, this is one of the landscape waivers requested.
Jim Gelis, K4 Architect—we have buildings of clay brick with composite board siding with
shingled roof and we design the building with pitched roofs to give it a more residential feel to make it
fit in with the surrounding neighborhood. Clean lines and resident use of gables and areas of elevation.
72 units will be two bedrooms, with 24 one bedrooms units.
Development plan for meeting code lighting requirements. Two waivers in the overlay of the
setback and landscape easement. The landscape will be provided in its entirety with the landscaping
requirements being met along that property adjacent to the R2. The 3 adjacent residential properties
would still be adequately buffered with those planting requirements required under the buffer code D.
The additional waiver is the encroachment of the dumpster enclosure with a 20 foot setback that is along
the C2 property line.
Public comment:
Gail Hooper- 3300 Sunrise Circle. My property is going to be butted up to the apartments.
Currently Autumn Ridge is only two stories high. 3 stories high eliminates my privacy. My privacy
fence is going to be non-effective. Currently they have garages that might serve as a buffer zone,but it
doesn't sound like it will happen with the new project. I assume that they will do proper surveying
because my property extends about two feet from my privacy fence. Where the dumpster are, are they
going to be directly behind our houses? How will that impact with the noise, smell? I am greatly
concerned about resale factor of my property and privacy with 3 stories. The buffer zone sounds good
in theory but I don't know how practical that is.
Mary Jo Rhoton—3304 Sunrise Circle. Directly backs up to the apartment housing. I'm also
concerned and one of the things Gail did not mention is the traffic on the Road; it is terrible right now.
Where are the dumpsters going to be? A few bushes is not going to be a very good buffer. I have no
privacy fence but like you said we may still have some privacy. Three stories you are not going to have
anything to yourself. I would like for these gentlemen to come to the neighborhood.
Sabrina Karius—3309 Sunrise Circle. I live across from where they are going. I love the
apartments that are there already,but there is no sidewalks. Are you planning on doing sidewalks?
Walking to and from the park we cut through there. This is already a busy intersection.
Mary Jo Rhoton—my house is a corner lot and we already have an overflow of trash that is
constantly thrown in our yard. Also a concern when you have people who are renters, not homeowners
how is that going to impact the area? It is incredibly congested in the area.
Chris Brown—we appreciate the comments and feedback and we do want to address them. First
the buffer is not just shrubs its trees—that is what is required in setback in buffer yard. It is a mix of
evergreen and deciduous trees.
Jeffersonville Plan Commission Meeting—May 29, 2018 Page 7 of 11
Mr. McCutcheon—do you know about what from the property to the building would be?
Chris Brown—we are staying 35', it is a double row, that maybe staggered. Second,because
the side slopes downward as you move away from Sunrise Court we may have to grade this building and
step it down, you may end up with less than three stories facing the back yards. We have not determined
that yet, but we know we have to step the buildings down. By the time you reach Vissing Park Road
especially the north east corner it drops down about a good 30'. That should address the buffer concern
and privacy. Traffic—we are installing new sidewalks all along the public right-a-way and they are
shown on the plan along Vissing Park and Windmill Lane with paved ways to the sidewalks. Dumpster
—location is adjoining the property along the hospital showing some trees as well. Finally—Vissing
Park traffic will be the main entrance, the goal is not to bring in traffic along Windmill Road but to be as
close to Tenth Street as possible.
Mr. Avery—historically this follows the usage for Tenth Street with commercial and residential.
Actually what was to become commercial now becomes residential. And it does provide that buffer to
the other commercial properties that are there.
Mr. White—I see in Vissing Park a grey space - will you have recreational equipment for kids?
Chris Brown—that is a detention basin that is the lowest spot on the property right now and there
is existing culvert going there under Vissing Parkway. There will be a green space.
Dr Fleming—we have our standards and waivers should be an infrequent occurrence so it does
bother me that you are asking for 3 stories when our requirement is 2.
Chris Brown—we are requesting a variance from the BZA and we are prepared to discuss that
this evening.
Mr. Pruitt—so the two items before this Board is the minimum setback for the dumpster
enclosures and the buffer yard. The staff feels comfortable with the landscaping items.
Mr. White—I appreciate you investing in Jeffersonville and it has been said a number of times
we have a housing shortage.
Mr. White made the motion to approve the development plan.
Dr Fleming—when you plant the trees do you plant 1.5' saplings or trees that have substantial
growth because these neighbors will have to wait for a tree to offer any kind of buffer.
Chris Brown—you do evergreens at a very good size and there will be screening by fencing, so
by doing both you are providing a certain height, and those trees grow even taller to their maturity.
Mr. Pruitt—our standards if I recall them correctly the evergreen is minimum 6', deciduous 2"
caliber at breast height. They have to meet our standards and we will check this at closing of the project.
Mr. Avery—seconded the motion, and motion passes 5-0.
Dr Fleming wanted to echo Mr. White's comments too, we do desperately need affordable
quality housing and while I have my misgivings about the height and the effect on neighbor's property
values I understand this is a need for the City.

The applicant is requesting development plan approval at the southeast corner of Woehrle Road
and Veteran's Parkway. The proposed use is a dental office. The property is located in the commercial
corridor overlay district.
John Kraft, Law Firm of Young, Lind, Endres and Kraft 126 West Spring New Albany,
appearing on behalf.
Jeffersonville Plan Commission Meeting—May 29, 2018 Page 8 of 11
• Same as Sara Denzinger-Rowe 's office opening in Jeffersonville. This will be an additional
office under the name Sunshine Family Dental. Dr Gilford is in attendance.
• The property it is zoned Cl, across the road Cl and to the left is River Valley, being an
institutional zoning. Falls within commercial corridor overlay district which is to develop
commercial development which is compatible with the surrounding area and to minimize
negative impacts caused by strip commercial development; it will be an office.
• Waivers requested will be the issue of the size of the lot. Front setback as well as perimeter
landscaping.
Gary Brinkworth, John G Brinkworth Inc— 5150 Charlestown Road New Albany.
The entrance will be off Woehrle Road away from Veteran's Parkway. One of the waiver's is moving
the building forward so we could get enough parking on the sight. We are 7 feet away from the property
line however Woehrle Road is 100 feet back off the curb on Woehrle Road; the building is 42 feet away.
There is a lot of green space. He will do all his landscaping on his property. We do have 40 parking
spaces. The theory behind the extra parking is because while 10 people are being served 10 people are
waiting and they have 18 employees per building.
He will build a sidewalk from one end of Woehrle and tie into an existing sidewalk. The
dumpster area is on the southeast side of the property. I believe we are following all guidelines.
Jason Copperva, Paul Primavera& Associates, 301 Chestnut Street Corydon Indiana.
At the suggestion of your staff we moved some of the trees out into the green scape of the street. Tree
counts—we are 6 trees short, 6 trees would be a little difficult to add in,but if that is the pleasure of the
Board we can. Lighting is code compliant. Signage—6 x 4, code allows 48 sq ft. Stone veneer
wainscoting with gable roof—gable roof waiver, there are several building in the area with gable roofs
so this should fit nicely within the area.
Dr Fleming—drainage, you have a lot of impervious surface here?
Mr. Brinkwork - Drainage plan will be underground under the parking lot. All of the property
drains to northeast. There is a swell that runs along Veterans Parkway.
Mr. Avery—I believe this is excellent usage for this sight.
Public Comment: none
Board comments/questions:
Dr Fleming—I appreciate the attractive design of the building

The applicant filed for application for approval for property at 2770 Jefferson Centre Way. The
proposed development is approximately 6200 sq ft building; the property is located in a commercial
corridor overlay district.
Shawn Dade, Howard Pence General Contractor Inc 342 Dixie Avenues Elizabethtown
Kentucky. Basically, we are rebuilding this building which burned down several years ago. Instead of
being a 2 story building it will only be a 1 story building, about 6200 sq ft. It will be a mirror building
of the existing building without the other story. Office primarily related. Using existing sight
conditions we have a fair amount of landscaping screening and we are not asking for or increasing
entrances or parking, we will make all landscaping code compliant.

Jeffersonville Plan Commission Meeting—May 29, 2018 Page 9 of 11
The applicant filed an application for rezoning for approximately 3.49 acres located at 3440
Charlestown Pike adjacent to I-265. Current zoning is Rl which is low density residential, the proposed
zoning is M1 which is low density multi-family. The applicant intends to build senior housing for ages
55 and older, empty nesters.
Stewart Wenchel, 3510 Hidden Lake Boulevard Jeffersonville.
Property was M1 when purchased under County code, but when the City annexed it was changed to R1.
Public Comment:
Vincent Welch 3459 Morgan Trail in Landscove Subdivision - Several people in the
neighborhood do not think this is going to retain our property value; maybe it should be something other
than multi-property housing. A neighbor stated there is a flooding problem with 3-4'; paving the lot will
not help this problem.
Richard McCury 3434 Charelstown Pike—I'm not against the building—that place floods, my
house flooded 3 times this past spring where I could not get out of my house.
Board Question:
Mr. Avery—this is the last property before I-265? Yes. The drainage there is the State Highway
so it is an infill. That will serve as a buffer for what you are doing between that and the residential area.
How many units? Not determined yet
Mr. White—made the motion for a favorable recommendation to Council, seconded by Dr
Fleming and motion passes 5-0.
Dr Fleming- I want to assure the adjoining landowners that we will hold the drainage board to
the strictest standard, we will not let this project get approved unless the area is mitigated better than it is
now.
PC-18-28
The City of Jeffersonville, on behalf of Vicki Tieri and Mary Richardson filed a rezoning
application for approximately 19 acres of property located at 5314 Highway 62, current zoning is R1
which is low density and the proposed is for C2 which is a medium to large scale commercial. Rezoning
to correct an error when the area was annexed part of Jeffersonville from Clark County.
Les Merkley, Jeffersonville City Counsel—this come from the City of Jeffersonville, we are
trying to correct a mistake that occurred many years ago when the annexation occurred. The intent back
then was to bring property in the County into the City to be consistent with zoning that was in place in
the County at that time for a particular piece of property. This property is Twilight Golf Course. At the
time of the annexation with the County it was commercial property in its entirety. But evidently when it
was brought in and annexed and the new zoning maps were adopted part of the part of the property was
zoned R1. The City is requesting that we fix that so that the property is zoned C2; which would be
consistent with the entire Golf Course and also be consistent with what was in place at the time that the
annexation 15 years ago. And ultimately this is a matter that will go to City Council,but begins here.
Public Comments: none.
Board questions:
Mr. Merkley—the owners are here and they do agree and give the consent.
Mr. Avery—made the motion for a favorable recommendation.
Vicki Tieri, 5316 East Highway 62 Jeffersonville—stated that the property was changed in the
annexation. The front half is commercial the back is not. We would like it all commercial.
Dr Fleming—seconded the motion. Motion passes 5-0.
