Also Present: Mark McCormack, Plan Director,  Nicole Daily, Zoning Administrator, and Andy Baudendistel, Attorney.

ACTION ON MINUTES- none

OLD BUSINESS: none

NEW BUSINESS: 

To review and discuss proposed ordinance amendments and updates to the Dearborn County Zoning Ordinance, specifically with respect to the text(s) of: Articles 9 and 10, regarding Agricultural and Residential Zoning Districts; Article 25, regarding General Standards; Article 27, regarding Definitions.

 

The most recent, DRAFT Zoning Ordinance text amendment proposals involving the above-referenced codes / items are online on our homepage (www.dearborncounty.org/planning) under the “News” tab and / or are online at:

https://www.dearborncounty.org/egov/documents/1649969766_50472.pdf

 

Again, the purpose of the meeting on April 25^th is to ONLY discuss the DRAFT text changes…once the text is finalized we will move forward with creating an updated, DRAFT Zoning Map (based on the final text and the criteria that are prioritized, etc.).

McCormack noted that he had expected a bigger crowd. There are 3 people in the audience - Mike Kluesener Jackson Township, Jeff Lyness Bright, Chris Mueller Lawrenceburg Township.

He gave a history of the workshops in 2020 and in 2021- total 7 public workshops. He elaborated on all the attempts to get the word out so the public would know what they are doing. Summary in July 2021 he highlighted feedback from people. Revisions have been made to reflect some of those comments. Septic acreages were revised based on some input from Ripley County also. Comments came in from Maxwell on Ag and Ag Homestead areas. The other comments were pertinent to individuals and their properties as classified on the maps. He stressed that the maps were not being discussed tonight. 

McCormack - Summarizing:

The purposes of Ag are similar to what we had. The list of uses are smaller than we had before. If any uses are missing and not covered elsewhere, then they will address it via the director and/or the PC or BZA. Minor divisions of land are not permitted in the Ag land now. Special event facilities are in Ag. Minimum lots are 2 acres as driven by Health Dept and septic rules. Discussion on the 2 acre minimum. 

Mike Kluesener- Jackson Township- Developer comes in and buys cheaper land in the rural area. Two neighbors in 2006 and 07 had to have 2 sites for their septic. Current ordinance required that.

Jeff Lyness - Logan Township- Thinking about the septic soil approval - a land split has to come thru the planning office to get a permit - and it makes sense to have the 2 septic sites marked up front so they know the options. Mound systems are expensive but smaller in area and can serve as 2nd site. I think that needs to happen on Ag zoning. The frontage increase to 200 ft could be affecting existing farms. He wanted that frontage number lower. If you had Ag places in the county that can support 2 septic sites, is the total acreage or frontage the real issue. Stormwater and impervious areas - he commented that it may stay the same for drainage depending on cultivated fields versus lawns etc. This depends on slope and also intensity of rainfall. Beiersdorfer pointed out no till farming does better on erosion prevention. 

Ag Homestead is the name for the less intensive Ag district. Minor land subdivisions are allowed here. Minimum lot is 1 acre. It still has to comply with septic site rules though, in answer to my question on whether Ag Homestead would require sewers or not with a 1 acre lot minimum size. 

R1 - Low density residential. Required to have sewer and water. Lots size minimum is 1/2 acre.Indiana law allows municipalities to go 2 miles outside their boundaries with utilities. 

R-2 - Medium density residential. Minimum lot size is 7500sq ft for single family. 2500 sq ft per unit for 2 family unit. An acre is 43,560 sq ft- so 7500 sq ft per lot means 5.8 lots per acre maximum density.

R-3 High density residential. Minimum lot size is 4400 sq ft for single family. 2200 sq ft per unit for 2 family. An acre is 43,560 sq ft so 4400 sq ft per lot means 9.9 lots per acre maximum density.

Use development standards and definitions will be added to the current ones in the code. 

The next meeting will be on THE NEW ZONING MAPS at the May 23rd meeting but the date will be changed to May 31st Tuesday at 7 PM. 

Meeting adjourned at 9 PM

1. NEW BUSINESS:

1. BLN Comp Plan Proposal- John presented G&W and CSX are 2 railroads in the county. G&W is very interested in doing trainload. Fertilizer, lumber, building products, steel products, etc can go thru a trainload site. They have tracking rights to serve Lawrenceburg on CSX rails at the Tanners Creek site. That’s important and an extraordinary thing- this is a significant issue that works in our favor.  There will be great programs available in the future. They need a landing spot for commodities coming in to the area. They will need other site potentially. INDOT industrial rail service funds (RSF grant) will become available in the fall. Olivia attended a trainload conference in Denver and received more information we can use for our plans here. OKI has about $300,000  available. Weiss noted that Indiana didn’t have much available thru that per the conference at OKI March 8 that he attended. 

FUND OPTIONS- RAISE ( Multi functional and multimodal) MARAD (Marine projects) CRISI ( Safety, Planning and Construction and they have increased this funding) IN Industrial rail service OKI Infra Grant

American Marine Hwy Process. - there is a process for seeking the funds. 

EV Charging station- rev, blink, electrode - invites 3 to present eventually

Strong Ports - for Port Planning and Investment toolkit. Under the US Debt of Transportation under Maritime Adm. 

John Berry works with John in the BLN Indianapolis Office. He introduced himself and gave. Brief resume. He says the Tanners Creek site is important. He talked about Hoosier Heritage Authority has train excursions as part of their rail usage. They operate along old rail lines and have trail connectivity up in the Noblesville, Hamilton County IN and Fishers. This could be something to consider here. They plan to engage private partners, trainload, present needs and discuss action items and revenue sources and other  funding opportunities. Much emphasis on funding applications for this  opportunities. $15-20 million funding in his previous client thru the MPO. They have $30,000 already here from our February meeting . Still have to do $253,000 to complete the comprehensive plan. Abdon said he saw one grant that was state based. Berry said yes- the others were federal based. Olivia unfortunately was not able to be here today- but she is well versed on federal opportunities. Weiss wanted to know when they need an answer. We have to decide if we are all in or not. And this would cost more than half of what is in our account. Economic Development Organization can have some planning grants as a focus on one site. Drury- have we looked at developing a master plan from other sources. Walker thought this was high number for a 10 month plan. He would like to see the scope and master plans for others they have done so they can see what to expect. Berry said they have returned 20-25 times what their clients spent. Berry talked about the 25 years it took to get the Kokoma Steel site refurbished. They lacked a master plan- but had piecemeal approach. 

Our board decided to meet on May 6th at 10 AM to discuss their options. 

OKI Discussion- Mark Polinsky  and David Shuey ( sp?)- Mark Polinsky- presented that June 1st is when applications are due. They can help with projects and they can help with those applications. They take 3 months to evaluate  and give awards in Oct. Jurisdiction form West VA to the Mississippi. OKI was the first MPO in the country to take advantage of CRISI.  We want to help - Robin Bancroft in his office is incredible at finding dollars. 

He was noticing the stock prices of EV companies are taking over. Markets move the economy and they need to think about EV charging stations. The workshop on these has about 100 attendees now- people are interested in this. They have been following this, $7.5 billion was dropped into the pool of EV charging stations. That is a bunch of money that has to be spent. 

Dave continued the talk on EV charging. - formula funding ( NEVI)- 5 billion over 5 years and divide up among the states and the 2.5 billion is on competitive grants. Each state has to come up with them plan before they get to use the money. EV fuel corridors are mapped. There are some that are in existence and some are just in planned phase. 150 kW with 4 ports and within one mile of the EV corridor is what is required. OKI looked at tag region as a whole and where do we need additional investment in this. US50 and I74 are in the mapped corridor for OKI plan. They have mapped transportation disadvantaged tracts, economic tracts, and persistent poverty tracts. They also looked at job hubs- with trading sector jobs. SE end of Dearborn is on this map. 

Level 1 120 volts- regular house- charges in a day or so if at zero.$100-200 to install 

Level 2 240 volts- dryer and range size- cost $1-2,000 to install 

Level 3 400-800 volts- charges in minutes- $75-150,000 per port to install. 

Polinsky stressed that there is a great push to get this money out (the $7.5 billion) OKI is going to get $3 million out of this.  The corridors are obvious. Where to put things there is where we need input. Located on a private sector piece of land- The land can be used as match for the grant. Maintenance agreement with the charging station installers costs a lot too. Maintenance can be included for up to 5 years in then grant. Electrada is a private company that helps determine where one should locate. 

Berry said they have worked wit Duke Energy to site where Level 3 charges can be set up. 30-40 cents per KW hour. These can work with solar and electrical and battery backup. 

CORBA membership discussion- costs about $500. Agreed to become affiliate members. We do not vote. They can participate in all meetings and activities.

TITLE VI STATEMENT FOR COMPLIANCE was read by Baudendistel as legally required.

OLD BUSINESS: none

NEW BUSINESS:

Mark McCormack, Director of Planning and Zoning- Proposed Zone Map Amendment and Ordinance changing the Zoning Classification.- McCormack presented. This came forward with a favorable recommendation. 3.128 acres R to B-1. There is a series of written commitments with the favorable recommendation. He went over the criteria for a rezone. Owners are Uhde Investment Properties LLC on the corner of Stateline and Sneakville Rds in Bright. Because there is no concept development plan the zoning has to be considered as what maximum uses could be there. There is other B-1 in the immediate area there- and a lot off residential too. Infrastructure is there. They have not done a traffic study as the specific uses for the site have not been determined. The traffic study will possibly be required later. Site pictures showed Four Seasons Nursery across the street.There are other businesses in those pictures near the site. McCormack went over the vehicular counts on the 2 roads. Gas stations were removed from the uses by the applicant. Six public comments  and some testimony from people at the last Plan Commission meeting. Residents from the area that were at the Plan Commission Meeting were not present for this meeting tonight. The title search did not find any covenants that would interfere with this per McCormack. 

PUBLIC HEARING opened - Anthony Albanice (sp?) Adjoining neighbor - asked if it was a done deal as there were survey stakes there. Bought his house as they understand it was supposed to be residential there. This will affect his property value. There will be a lot of noise and lighting and there are 3 housing properties adjoining this. Wants a buffer if this goes through. 

Michael Morman from CLM Surveying - there is a bank that has a proposal to buy the property. The light has to stay on the property and they will have a buffer zone. 

CLOSE PUBLIC HGEARING

Thatcher and Probst tabled this to MAY 4 WEDNESDAY at 9 AM so that Art Little could weigh in as this is in his district. 

 Proposal for Preparation of Claims for Fuel Tax Refund- Malcon/Malinowski Consulting- A company goes in and gets our fuel tax refunded to the county coffers, $4300 was refunded last year and it gets split with the company that gets the tax back for us. 

ADMINISTRATOR – Sue Hayden- absent so none. 

AUDITOR – Connie Fromhold  -Claims/Payroll and April 5th Minutes were approved.

ATTORNEY – Andy Baudendistel- Standard allowance in the ARP Funds has to be elected per Baker Tilley Attorneys. Revenue replacement is how they choose to use it. Three applications for water and sewer. Susan Cohen from Baker Tilley said that as long as there is an agreement or they are legally allowed to spend money like that they can do this. The reporting is easier if we choose to use lost revenue. $9.6 million is what we have which in under the $10 million that is allowed under the standard revenue limit. Commissioners approved using this category and the standard allowance. 

COMMISSIONER COMMENTS: Probst- early voting is going on. Absentee ballots are available. So far only about 80 have voted early. Hopes people step up and participate.

Thatcher- Commissioner Little needed to take a little time- keep him in your thoughts.
