Public Comments: against—none, support—none Letters, calls or e-mails- none Ms. Bupp —are we using the R3 because there is not a better code? Mr. Pruitt—yes—this gets them much closer to the target.

Representation: Alan Applegate, Applegate Fifer Pulliam 428 Meigs Avenue Jeffersonville Page 2 of 3 Jeffersonville Plan Commission Meeting—November 27, 2018 • .524 parcel acre in front of existing apartment complex (Amanda Place Apartments) • Development plan was rezoned September 6, 2016 to allow this property to be developed as apartments, at the time of the request we tendered a drawing substantially similar to this and was approved to allow in essence this building. • Minimum side setback—rear of the building is 21' from property line • Off-Street Parking—encroach into front, rear and side setbacks Ms. Gill—I noticed there has been clearing; is the retention basin being constructed before the building? David Blankenbeker—the project is on a slow schedule and because the State Permit was going to expire if we did not start, so that is the reason we stripped the sod and started a temporary drive and a silt fence. Public Comments: support—none, against— Comment: Richard Eklund 1608 Flint Lock Drive Jeffersonville — I live out in the neighborhood and go by this property frequently. I share some concern of the retention pond. There is a lot of trash coming up from the corner — I picked up myself. There is a car wash next door that is not doing any business right now but when open the trash does increase sufficiently and I would hate to see something this close to the street when we are trying to raise the profile of that area there just become a trash pit. I have walked through that parking lot several times, nice to have the buffer from the apartment and I have not been overly impressed with the maintenance of landscape and grass cutting on that property. It is a concern — I wish there was another way to locate the pond where there is not such a high profile. Thank you Letters, calls or e-mails? None Mr. Zastawny — I remember when we rezoned this property and would like to know will this new building look like the original buildings—size and architecture? Mr. Blankenbeker—the brick is no longer available, but it will be an 8 unit building to look like the existing buildings. I would also like to answer the concern over the detention pond - because this is the low point of the property and has to go in that location. This has been to the Drainage Board and approved. It will be a low lying grass area and the only time it will have water in it will be just for a few hours immediately after a heavy rain. So it should not be an issue with collection of debris or anything the regular maintenance crew will take care of it. I expect it will be well taken care of. Ms. Gill made the motion to pass the development plan of PC-18-76, seconded by Mr. Avery, and motion passes 6-0. Reports from Director and Staff • There will not be a December meeting • GCCS will be presenting development plans for the new downtown school probably in January Adjournment There being no further business to come before the Plan Commission the meeting was adjourned at 6:39 pm.
