Chad Reischl 2022-OR-40 Hearing on Rezoning for Property Located at 3616&3618 Utica- Sellersburg Road (From R2-Single Family Residential to Medium Lot to NS-International) Mr. Reischl stated GCCS is requesting this rezone to build a Middle School. This request comes with a favorable recommendation from the Plan Commission with a vote 5-2. Attorney for GCCS,Alan Applegate stated there are several speakers here to comment on the concerns voiced regarding the traffic congestion,drainage, noise, and site plan. David Bauer, Real Estate Agent for GCCS,stated this property in his opinion is the best property to build another Middle School.The recommendation was not unanimous and several concerns were presented. GCCS put together a presentation (see attached)to address those concerns. Mr. Bauer discussed why this is the best location and the concern about the property values for neighboring owners. Jamie Lake,Architect on behalf of GCCS, discussed the plan for traffic, drainage and property line concerns.Jeremy Shireman, Director of Facilities for GCCS,continued the discussion on traffic,after hour events,and the ability to stage vehicles for pickup. Daniel Borders, Director of Transportation, discussed the plan for the traffic route for buses. Mark Laughner, Superintendent of GCCS,thanked everyone for the opportunity to present this information. Mr. Laughner presented 3 different studies, and the 5 year Facility Plan.Councilperson Webb asked how long GCCS has been looking for property. Mr. Laughner advised it has been about 8 months to a year. Alan Applegate,Attorney for GCCS presented the Zoning Standards and reviewed them with the Council. Council President Owen opened a public hearing at 8:20 pm. Don Walker-5288 Sanibel Vista,Jeffersonville, IN 47130. Impressed with the presentation from GCCS, and in support of the school. Maxwell Malone-1124 Windsor Dr.,Jeffersonville, IN 47130. Not in support of the rezoning change and feels there is a need for single family homes and that is how the property is currently zoned. Ed Lieblick-3503 Brookline,Jeffersonville, IN 47130. Not in support of the school due to traffic, property value and taxes going up, students being bussed through the roundabout. Robert Sur-3501 Brookline,Jeffersonville, IN 47130. Not in support of the school due to traffic coming from all directions;this area is not designed for a school. Greg Kiesler-3511 Brookline,Jeffersonville, IN 47130. Not in support of the school due to traffic, drainage,water, sewage, infrastructure. Mary Jean Schwaba-3719 Utica Sellersburg Rd.Apt 112,Jeffersonville, IN 47130. Not in support of the school due to traffic and growth. Jim Steed-3405 Justinian Drive,Jeffersonville, IN 47130. In support of the school due to limits on sites and another school needed due to all of the people moving in the area. Brian Lenford -1025 Plum Ridge Dr., Sellersburg, IN 47172. Mr. Lenford advised he did not intend to sell to the school corporation, his intention was to build a subdivision. Initially he turned down the school system several times. Councilperson Webb asked what kind of homes Mr. Lenford was going to build and the average cost. Mr. Lenford stated the plan presented was for 60 foot lots and the price range between $350,000 and $375,000 however the housing market is not the same as it was 60 days ago. Council President Owen closed the public hearing at 8:47 pm. City Council Attorney Larry Wilder discussed the references to the 61 year old Indiana Supreme Court case,the 86 year old case cited, and the case that was in 1954. Mr. Wilder advised the Council to not feel like the references to those cases caused them to have to vote for this zoning change. As the Council's Attorney, he informed them that those cases do not say that the Council has to approve the rezoning for a school. These cases say that Catholic school could not be denied,the Jehovah's Witness Church school facility could not be denied. Unless the Greater Clark County School Corporation has a component that is protected by the First Amendment— religion,then the Council can deny if that is what they choose; as their lawyer he thoroughly believes as long as the Council makes their decision based upon relevant, modern case law they would not be subject to being sued. Mr. Wilder advised the Council they are obligated to decide things based upon the law. An Indiana Supreme Court case from 2005 involving Madison, Indiana says the decision on whether to rezone a particular piece of property is a matter left to the sound discretion of the local legislative body. There is no provision for an appeal of the local legislative body's denial of a rezoning request, rather the procedure for review of such legislative actions to bring a suit declaratory judgement or other similar attack because the action is legislative and not judicial in nature the review court is much more limited in its scope of review. Accordingly review of rezoning decisions is limited to constitutionality, procedural soundness, and whether the decision is arbitrary or capricious. This says that the decision is protected as long as it is not arbitrary or capricious and it does not violate the Constitution. A rezoning decision is arbitrary or capricious if the legislative body engaged in a willful unreasonable action without consideration and disregard of the circumstances of the case.As long as they consider everything they have heard and weigh what they have heard along with what was presented and put together and the people they have talked to to make the final decision it will not be arbitrary or capricious. Furthermore a review in court will not intervene in the local legislative process provided that it is supported by some rational basis. The Council just needs to have a rational basis whether it be one way or another. Councilperson Hawkins asked if the school is approved and Parkview Middle School is closed, will there be transportation for after school activities for those that are not within walking distance? Mr. Laughner advised they will have transportation for those students to make sure they are able to participate. Councilperson Ellis stated when the pool was moved from Claysburg to Middle Road the Mayor at the time promised transportation to and from the pool, but that never happened and he does not feel this will work. Mr. Laughner stated when Franklin Square was opened,transportation was offered for 2 years for extracurricular activities, and parents never took advantage of it. Mr. Laughner stated we will do what we say we will do. Councilperson Paris originally voted no at the Planning and Zoning meeting, he wasn't sure what the project was,after hearing what was presented tonight, he believes they have addressed the concerns and he is in favor of the project. Council President Owen stated everyone up here wants GCCS to succeed, huge concern to be moving the school from one end of the city to another because of the transportation issue. He would like to work with the school corporation to ensure that they are setting the students up for success, no matter which way the vote goes. What needs to be considered is the use for 26 acres in a developing part of the city,what the comprehensive plan says what the use is and what the highest and best use of that property is. Council President Owen hopes as a Council they will continue to work with the school system to see what challenges they could be facing in the years to come.Councilperson Webb initially voted no and stated he is on the schools side, but this is not the area to build a school. Councilperson Webb advised he will be voting no on the rezoning based on the facts that the rezoning is inconsistent with the Comprehensive Plan;the area they want to build is Residential. The most desirable use for this property is single family. He believes they have to have schools, but doesn't think this is the best use for the property. Councilperson White stated the rezone is inconsistent with the comprehensive plan, roads are too narrow for children to be walking on, and concerns with drainage issues and it being a residential area. Councilperson Burns made a motion to pass 2022-OR-40,seconded by Councilperson White; Roll Call Vote: Councilperson Hawkins advised he would be abstaining from the vote Councilperson Webb-No Councilperson Ellis—No Councilperson Hawkins-Abstain Council President Owen-No Councilperson Croft-No Councilperson Paris-Yes Councilperson Burns—Yes Councilperson White—Councilperson White said he does not want to see the amenities with the school to move out of the current residential area. In his opinion the rezoning change is inconsistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan,the roads are too narrow,the drainage issues are of concern; he believes the most desirable use for the property is residential as outlined in the Comprehensive Plan. For these reasons he is voting No. Mr.Wilder advised the vote was 5-2, motion failed. Councilperson Ellis advised he would like to have a workshop on this matter, Council President Owen stated he would send out an email on the matter. 3. Heather Metcalf 2022-OR-41 Ordnance of Additional Appropriation Mrs. Metcalf advised Building Commission is requesting$1,500.00 in Repair and Maintenance and $1,500.00 in Other Supplies to cover parts for 2 vehicles. Larry Wallace, Building Commissioner stated they had to replace a fuel pump that was$1,100.00 and drained his budget. Both vehicle warranties are over. Councilperson Burns made a motion to pass on the First and Second Reading, seconded by Councilperson Croft; motion passed,7-1 with Councilperson Ellis voting no. 4. Heather Metcalf 2022-OR-42 Ordinance Transferring Certain Funds with in the Same Department Mrs. Metcalf stated there are several transfers under this Ordinance. The first one is from the Thunder budget,transferring$500.00 from Electric to Equipment. The second one is for the Police Department from Equipment to Contract Services in the amount of$26,000.00.The third one is also for Police, $90,000.00 from Salaries to Contract Services.The fourth one is for the Street Department-General Administration from Capital Lease to Equipment for purchasing a loader for$70,785.00.The last one is for the Fire Department from Other Supplies to Repairs and Maintenance.Anne Langley stated the money from the Thunder Budget is to cover the remaining cost of a Concrete Barrier Grabber and the Fire Department has had more repair and maintenance charges this year than last. Council President Owen asked if there is any indication as to what the$90,000.00 being transferred out of Salaries is being used for, and is the $90,000.00 available due to not being up to staffing. Mrs. Metcalf stated yes and the $90,000.00 will reflect in the Salaries budget next year. Council President Owen stated he does not understand the reasoning behind the$90,000.00 transfer for the Police from Salaries to Contract Services when they know they have to spend that money on salaries. He stated he wished the Police Department had spoken about this prior to the Council Meeting. Councilperson Hawkins made a motion to pass on the First and Second Reading,seconded by Councilperson Paris; motion passed, 7-1,with Council President Owen voting no. ATTORNEY COMMENTS: Larry Wilder—City Attorney Larry Wilder stated currently the Sewer Board Ordinance is not relevant with current Indiana Statute and will email each Council Member with additional information. Les Merkley--Absent DEPARTMENT HEADS: Paul Northam—Mr. Northam stated he is excited to bring the Ice Skating Rink back. It will be located in the Depot. A down payment has been put down on the rental of the Ice Rink. Six years ago, the funding for the Ice Rink was partially funded by the UEZ, Redevelopment, and the City Council. The donation six years ago was$25,000.00 and Mr. Northam is asking for$25,000.00 again. Mr. Northam stated they have not gotten a response back from Duke Energy with the cost of the electric but he will be requesting additional funding for that as well. It was decided to hold off on the decision of the donation until the quote comes in from Duke Energy. Heather Metcalf—Council President Owen discussed the need for Budget Workshops. The first workshop will be held on August 16, 2022 at 4:00 pm,second one will be held on August 18, 2022 at 4:00 pm, and the last one will be held on August 30, 2022 at 4:00 pm,all to be held in Council Chambers.

Applicant received a favorable recommendation to change the zoning classification of the property from R2 (Medium Lot Single Family) to NS (Institutional) so as to enable Applicant to '. . develop a new middle school to replace Parkview Middle School. The jr,,,: favorable recommendation was not unanimous and those plan commission 1\\ members and public participants opposing the recommendation cited general t : :'' . concerns regarding traffic, congestion and road width, the non-existence of a I �- ate. E ., , site plan, drainage and noise. As a result, the School Corporation has -;'~ k garnered much of its resources in an effort to address those perceived ,,� j } . concerns. p Talking Points .. [David Bauer - Realtor] �x. WHY...has this site been identified as the best site for the New Middle School? € t 1. Site Size - 26 Acres. The Site Size is great. We were seeking not less than (20) Acres and have (6) additional acres allows GCCS to have more than sufficient additional room to better manage: ° r . • Traffic - keeping traffic off the residential streets and stacking cars and bus traffic on site. ® Drainage - have more than enough acreage for the school facilities, sports fields and traffic, _ allows GCCS to manage not only the drainage that results from the New Middle School, but, also allows for sufficient Green Space to potentially manage the drainage needs of adjacent properties. , . 2. 2000' of Road Frontage. This amount of Road Frontage is unheard of and is especially important for 1 Schools. This amount of road frontage allows for different access points and manage the traffic I. entry and exit points, allowing sufficient distance from these separate entrances for better traffic I flow. .. 3. Topography - this property is relatively flat and therefore constructing the school will be more Cost '1\ ��� Effective for GCCS and Tax Payers who ultimately fund the public schools. The generally flatter -- topography is also better for traffic and safety in general as it's much easier to work the drainage ,\( - ' V . +`k on a flatter site. / m 4. Location - this property is in a rapidly growing area of residential subdivisions. No matter the desire `' to build the school nearer to downtown, the clear and obvious facts are that Jeffersonville will experience substantial growth at and near the 1-265 access as a direct result of transportation and . ' ` drawing new residents to this area from Louisville and from other Southern Indiana communities '- ,` due to the access to Louisville's East End and the growing employment opportu it1es from Eby- . „ r. . Ridge Businesses. r "'' .,,ice Talking Points p � 5. Zoning - It needs to be understood by Council Members and the General Public that Jeffersonville's Zoning Codes require GCCS to receive a NS (Institutional Zoning) classification n - , order to build a New School. In other nearby communities, this is not the case, Schools Et Churches are allowed to build in Residential Zones with only a Zoning Variance. In seeking potential properties for the new Middle School we/I found ZERO Properties that were zoned for Institutional Zoning, except for those already have Educational Buildings upon them. ` Most, nearly All of those Educational Buildings were built prior to Jeffersonville changing the # . . code to require new Educational Buildings to have Institutional Zoning. Therefore, None of the Properties considered and No Properties that I'm aware of, are available and sufficiently suitable for GCCS that are currently Zoned NS. Which means...any property considered in the past or in the future by GCCS for the New Middle School will require both Plan . I Commission and City Council Approval for a Zoning Change to NS. F. In Closing, I think there are two other considerations that are important to point out: f 1) Good Schools make for Great Neighbors. ...' : , a) Community Use of Walking Track & Tennis Courts ' b) Well Maintained Buildings and Grounds \\ f.' '�' •` c) Sufficient Green Space, Landscaping and sufficient acreage to keep and plant trees ,- - `fin, f �--- d) It's a Fact and there is Data to support that Property Values are Higher in close proximit 'Co • Schools, due to Increased Buyer Demand. i 2) It should Not be overlooked that the Plan Commission gave the proposed Zoning Change a '-4' Recommendation Vote 5-2. • `# j k . SITE PLAN [Jamie Lake - Architect] ® While no final plans have been finalized or approved, GCCSC spent the funds necessary r to identify a site plan which complies with the Jeffersonville Development Standards. . Construction is not slated until 2024 or 2025. ® The existing Parkview Middle School currently comprises only 11.5 acres, whereas the f i .- \ " " subject property is approximately 26 acres. f ® 2000 feet of road frontage ' ® Multiple points of ingress and egress. r = k ® On site bus and vehicular parking and stacking. , On site detention basin (Oversized to address drainage issues of adjacent neighborhood ..• - in addition to immediate school needs) T - No lighted athletic facilities.

Central location in the city, same distance from current Parkview site to new site as the distance from the new site to Whispering Oakes/Skyline Acres developments, which are also in the city of Jeffersonville. ® Current Parkview site does not allow for the building of a new school on site !r while having school because of the small size of the site and the fact that it is =' F land locked by the railroad tracks and little league park.

This keeps the district from having to redistrict middle school students. ® Allows the district to keep current middle school districting plan, with Franklin Square, Riverside and Utica feeding into the new middle school and Northaven, F'n the new elementary and Parkwood feeding into River Valley. Creates feeder , elementary schools for our middle schools. r . District demographic study done by Jerry Mckibben confirms that the growth of "` . Jeffersonville is moving to the north and that Greater Clark needs to build r facilities closer to that growth. This site is a great central location that can f serve the downtown students and the new growth that will occur over the next - •�. 50 years. f,; '' ® Greater Clark currently loses students to other districts in the Salem-Noble corridor because there are no middle schools close to that area. °.

A new middle school will have less of an impact on the 26 acre site than 87 new homes. With 87 new homes there will be just as much or more traffic, just as much . or more runoff water with no green space to contain it. 87 homes will have an impact on the area 365 days a year, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The new middle 1., school is only open 180 days a year and will have the acreage and green space to manage water and traffic. 1:- New, \ ' ',/,';-. school will have 5 tennis courts, a track and football field for the community to \ ',, ,,- ''. use. (No lights, so there will be no night games) ,)( _,--- e J. , ® Growth of the city of Jeffersonville is moving to that area, shouldn't the educatio a - ` " x facilities follow that movement to some extent. a C tick* _. _ .. e 1 Talking Points . F ® This will be a $60 million dollar investment within the city of Jeffersonville. A 1^ "no" vote will cause the district to look for alternative sites that may be further out and possibly outside of city limits. ® Two different architects have advised the district the current Parkview site would be nearly impossible to build on while still trying to have school and it would be a two-year process. r A total renovation of Parkview would not be possible while still trying to have +` school and in the end the cost to renovate would be close to the cost to build 'i ' new and the district would still have an old building with 20 years of added life I ^ versus a new building that adds 50 years of life. ® New site is flat which will make it easy to deal with water runoff with retention `r ., ^ '` ponds on the 26 acre property. FL `:. ® There will be no lighting on the athletic fields, so ambient light will not be a problem for the neighborhoods surrounding the new middle school. r fir, , rim F: Talking Points ® The feeder elementary schools for the new middle school will be Franklin Square, `' Riverside and Utica, which are all on the south-east side of 10th street. Because of this most, if not all of the bus traffic can be routed to stay out of the roundabouts. The new school will be a great investment in the community and a great learning environment fo students and teachers. Research has proven that newer-modern facilities do have a = , positive impact on student achievement, behavior, socio-emotional health and property : values. f ® The district is expending significant amounts of money on maintenance and repair cost at Parkview Middle School because of the age and condition of the building, which is not a good use of tax-payer dollars. r Equivalent Daily Use for sewage is 310 gallons per day, for 87 homes that amounts to 27,590 gallons per day. For a school the use is 15 gallons per person per day multiplied • f by 800 is 12,000 gallons per day. " F- ® Residential Equivalent Daily Use for sewage is 310 gallons per day. School Equivalent ! ' '" Daily Use for sewage is 15 gallons per person per day. 4 ® Residential Usage - 87 homes x 310/day = 26,970 gallons per day. �- . • n: ® School Usage - 800 students x 15 gallons = 12,000 gallons per day. s ® Over the course of a year, a neighborhood would use 10 million gallons compared to 2 a 4 ,,'Y million gallons the school would use.

BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS OF the TOWN OF MERIDIAN HILLS V. SHULTE '' Indiana Supreme Court (1961 ), 172 N.E.2d 39, 241 IND. 339 IA The Catholic Church sought zoning for a proposed catholic church, school and priest residences on 18 acres in Meridian Hills Indianapolis. The Court noted that t all parties conceded the area to be one of the most desirable, close-in, f suburban locations in the Indianapolis area and enjoys a semi-rural setting with f a quite, peaceful, residential atmosphere consisting primary of single family . residential homes which were predominantly owned by families with no children. [These facts are eerily similar to GCCSC's application]. r 'The Court noted that some of the remonstrators even offered to procure two t - alternative sites of approximately the same area: ® one of which was about three blocks away from the proposed site and \ rf which is outside the town limits; and \, ; _. 7-"' ''' ® the other of which was on a more heavily traveled main highway and j=' ,CS , immediately adjacent to a junior high school. �` `x The Indiana Supreme Court held that the municipality erroneously denied the , rezoning petition and mandated that the town approve the zoning request. r , . . i 1 . It was immaterial that whether alternative sites were available as a person may. r' not be excluded from a zone on the ground he could find just as good a site outside the area. 2. The education, morally and spiritually of children, is a matter of great public 'concern and private interests, although important, should not outweigh such . general public welfare. 3. The law has always considered itself the special guardian of the young and gives - important consideration to their requirements in the interest of the common good and general welfare. ,, 4. The Court judicially knew that churches and schools promote the common welfare ,, and the general public interest. 5. A zoning board may not zone on the basis that children are undesirable in certain i areas and that families without children should be protected against such intrusions. I 6. The purpose of the zoning laws is not to protect private, personal interest, but ,t °-' rather to protect and promote the general public interest. Citing Euclid, Ohio v 1 , Amber Realty-Co. (1926), 272 U.S. 365. . 7. Relying on its previous holding in Board of Zoning Ap. of Decatur v. Jehovah's / E Witnesses, (1954) 33 Ind. 83, 91, 117 N.E.2d 115, 119, the Supreme Court held , that the public welfare and interest in church and moral betterment outweighed traffic safety for the public. ' 8. The general public interest in the moral and intellectual education of the young ; far outweighs the private interest affected by any depreciation in neighboring ` property values. r
