 27 June 2022 Dearborn County Plan Commission Meeting Notes

Present: Dennis Kraus, Jr., Chairman, Jeff Hermesch, Mark Lehman, Jake Hoog, Dan Lansing, Joe Vogel, Jim Thatcher, and Eric Lang

ABSENT: Russell Beiersdorfer 

Also Present: Nicole Daily, Zoning Administrator.

ABSENT: Mark McCormack, Planning Director and Andy Baudendistel, Attorney.

Meeting started 12 minutes late due to needing copies of the packet materials for the board members.

Title VI statement was read by Kraus, Jr. as legally required.

ACTION ON MINUTES- February 28th Minutes approved. 

OLD BUSINESS: none

NEW BUSINESS:

To address the Plan Commission to discuss a modification to one of the Written Commitments associated with the 2009 and 2010 Plan Commission public hearings for the Stone Zone Map Amendment—specifically with respect to adding 2 more (full) access points off of Harrison Brookville Rd. than the originally-approved 2 access points. 

Applicants: Land Consultants Owner: Dearborn County Redevelopment Commission Site Location: Approximately 2,000 ft. east of the US 52 and I-74 interchange between 1144 and 1582 Harrison Brookville Rd. Legal: Section 11, Township 7, Range 1 Township: Harrison Zoning: Moderate Industrial (I2-DP, Original ZMA) Size: 82 acres (Original Affected Acreage of ZMA area)

Nicole Daily presented the request. It has to come back to the board as it changes those recorded written commitments.

Originally there were 3 commitments on this property:

 1. Uses were limited and then modified to include auto sales business when Hirlinger Chevrolet occupied a portion of the site in 2010. 

2. There would be 2 access points to the development site- This request tonight is to make that 4 access points. 

3. There will be traffic study consistent with Article 24 of the Zoning Ordinance. Each development has submitted info on this to date but a full traffic study has not been warranted since the threshold of 1000 vehicle trips per day has not been reached yet.

Daily went over the zoning changes that occurred as development went into the site. The original concept plan had a different layout on the property this different access points. She showed pictures of the site and the access points proposed. Todd Listerman’s (County Hwy Engineer) letter said he had no issues with the request as it meets or exceeds his site distance requirements etc. 

Eric Lang recused himself as he works for Land Consultants and left the room.

Jeff Talkers presented for Land Consultants. He said in 2009 no one knew what was going to happen on the property and Bayer Becker gave their best idea of the plan. The 26 acres left is under contract to be bought and they want their own access and not a shared one with Hirlinger. The Hirlinger accès is still shared  with the 26 actress, this giving it 2 access points. 

Public Discussion. 

Chris Weibel- asked about the traffic study as they do not know what the new business will bring in. They want one done. 

Stephanie Weibel.- wanted to see the screen for what was going to go in. She was assured that there are not 4 buildings as originally proposed. She was also told that they do not know how or if the 26 acre piece is going to be divided or not yet. She is concerned with noise, lights, pollution, etc. that might come. 

End Public Discussion

Plan Commission: Kraus called Talkers to the podium. Are you aware of the plans. Mike Perleberg answered for the DCRC. Spec building is for manufacturing or industrial and it is under contract while they do due diligence before closing. He gave the square footage possibly. He answered Hoog’s question about having one access and a parallel frontage road. Perleberg said this is what they want to keep. Perleberg noted that they may have some portion of the users or employees use the shared access with Hirlinger. If they split the site they will have to have a shared driveway from the one access point that they are asking to have there. 

Lehman said these access points don’t give him any major heartburn on the proposal. He said the accesses seem logical considering the way. The site developed so far. 

Lehman motioned to allow the modifications as written of the existing rezone commitment to allow 2 more full access points. Lansing second. Approved with all ayes. 

  

ADMINISTRATIVE

To review and discuss proposed ordinance amendments and updates to the Dearborn County Zoning Ordinance, specifically with respect to the text(s) of Article 3, regarding the Advisory Board of Zoning Appeals. Daily said they need to review this with BZA at their August meeting first so this was not discussed tonight.

There is a special working meeting July 14 at Agner Hall at the Fairgrounds from 6-9 PM. They may not have a regular July meeting  after that. They will have township maps up there so they can see better for the residents who attend.

 21 JUNE 2022 DEARBORN COUNTY COMMISSIONERS MEETING NOTES

Present:  Rick Probst, Acting President, and Art Little

ABSENT: Jim Thatcher

Also present: Connie Fromhold, Auditor, Andy Baudendistel, Attorney

ABSENT :Sue Hayden, Administrator

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

OLD BUSINESS

Old Orchard Connection to Jenny Lynn Drive- Jason Kinker- Emergency Use will get appropriate adequate signage and the sheriff can then issue citations for improper use of the emergency access. Listerman had said they are talking about blinking signs etc. possibly. Google maps has this as an access and that needs to be corrected to emergency use. He was concerned about the big delivery trucks and that sharp S curve. Somehow there is a paved road there now that is concerning to his mother, Rose  Kinker said it’s a 50 ft ROW and she doesn’t ever want to to be a 60 ft one. Mr Kinker was not please about the reception he was getting to his questions from Mr Probst. Said this is not customer friendly to have these meetings at 9 am or 5 pm. It is not easy for most people to address the commissioners. Point number 3 on their website is to be accessible to the citizens. It doesn’t seem like you cared about any of this. 

NEW BUSINESS

Award of HVAC and Window Contract (Under the Energy Savings Contract) Selected JMS which is now Veregy. Boilers and chiller s and windows for  $1,529,522,There is an energy savings contract here for the 20 years it is in effect. Approved. 

ADMINISTRATOR – Sue Hayden- absent

AUDITOR – Connie Fromhold  -Claims/Payroll and June 7th Minutes approved. Covered Bridge certification was approved and signed for the Guilford Covered Bridge. The county receives some funds for this. 

ATTORNEY – Andy Baudendistel- nothing

COMMISSIONER COMMENTS:

Art Little- Awful hot today- guess summer’s here. Be careful with the heat. Look out for your neighbors. 

Rick Probst- Hope everyone has a safe and patriotic celebration. His week is the 4H fair- Good time and good to support the 4H youth,. 

LATE ARRIVAL INFORMATION- none

PUBLIC COMMENT- Christopher Sondles- at present there is a large outcry on social media. There is a chip seal project going on. OK in small subdivisions. Now they are doing the east west corridor on North Dearborn. Where does this decision get made? Probst- The county engineer bases the decision on the every other year road survey and prioritizes them. The highway suit and the engineer. It depends on the funding that is available. North Dearborn is a major artery - Why is Mt Pleasant paved and North Dearborn chip and tar? He thinks it is backward to do this. He will follow up with Todd Listerman as suggested. 

Ian Bowman- Lifelong resident- His duty to voice concern about the Chip seal on North Dearborn. This is a disservice to our taxpaying residents. I can’t find a bad spot on this road so why did they even do this? He asked about the contracts and the company that does this work. He will check with Todd Listerman also. There is now where else I would rather love than in this county.

Probst appreciated them coming down and giving them comments. It is good to have public heard. 

ADJOURN- 5:42 PM.

 14 June 2022 Dearborn County Council Meeting Notes

Present: Liz Morris, President, Dennis Kraus. Sr., Dan Lansing, Kevin Turner, Tim Doll, Alan Goodman, and Glenn Wright. 

Also present: Connie Fromhold, Auditor, Leah Bailey, Comptroller,  and Sue Hayden, County Administrator

Title VI Statement read as legally required

TAX ABATEMENT-  Mohr Capital- Dave Deddens presented for DC Redevelopment Commission. Proposed Economic Development project in West Harrison TIF district. $25 million. Wheatley Group worked out that it will have another $19million in jobs. Mohr Capital says a  real property tax abatement is critical to this. Doug Swain is participating via phone for Mohr Capital. 

Jeff Kroeger of Colliers- Class  A structure being built. July 2025 is completion date for the project. Break ground this year and have 12-18 months to finish the building. 

Council members asked questions to clarify particulars. 

Andrea Ewan said they are only asking for the real property abatement. Tenants may ask for another abatement. The EDA is transferrable to a new owner should Mohr sell it.

Morris- Council is being asked to approve the abatement for the land and the building- not any contents. 

Doll - asked about restrictions- Jeff-There are some restricted uses for the space- no alcohol or whiskey barrels for example. Have to sell or lease got tenants that have at least 25 jobs for at least $18/hr.  Looking for someone like a Cintas or Schneider Electric etc.

Morris said it speaks volumes that the DCRC has vetted this. Mohr has a good track record. 

Turner- this property has been empty for about 10 years while DCRC owned it. 

Wright- Mohr knows there is a flood plain on part of this?- Yes- and they are buying the property - “as is.”

Turner - thinks that this is a favorable position for us. Jeff- There is a lot in info coming in about how Intel is setting up around Columbus. 

Turner- motioned to adopt the resolution for the tax abatement. 2nded and all ayes. Approved.

Morris said- this looks like its a win for the county and she’s very excited about it.

ADDITIONALS:

COMMISSIONERS-  Eric Hartman- presented.

HVAC Replacement-boiler is at least 37 years old and it had been switched to the Juvenile center. Basic equipment is the chiller etc. Why is the sq ft so much more for the Juvenile center than the arm building.  Mark Frost- PE Juvenile center will have 2 boilers now so there is a redundancy should one go out. He was not sure where the sq footage numbers came from. Adm is on the roof so a crane has to be brought in to place it. The other is on the ground. It is general practice in Indiana to have 2 boilers as one could fail and it is critical to have it for heat.The 2 units each handle 75% of the load. 

Goodman noted that redundancy is important when there is precious cargo ( vulnerable  people) like kids in the juvenile center. 

Morris wants to use Fund 1138 for the Juvenile Center as that fund can only handle one of these items. 

Juvenile Center- HVAC $277,953 1001/1136/4915 - Goodman motioned for using Fund 1138 and it was 2nded. Approved with Wright and Kraus NAYS. 

Administration Building-$367,847.04 1001/1136/4914/4915- A/C- Chillers needed here. The old ones lasted 28 years. Warranty is 5 years for total warranty on this per Mark Frost, PE. Kraus asked about guaranteed savings on this. They did not have that number on them. New units are all air cooled- no cooling tower. Wright motioned out of Cum Courthouse Fund- 2nded. Approved. 

Window Replacement-$884,168.52 1001/1136- It was1988 when the last window replacement occurred per Hartman. Biggest problem is the seals that are broken. The seals broke on windows and on all 4 sides of the courthouse. They are doing special things abut the 8 stained glass windows. There are 61 regular windows. This glass will be highest class and thicker glass as some of them are 10 ft tall. Warranty for them is long- 20 years. Windows lead time is about 8 weeks now. They build them as they need them. Installer is from the west side of Cincinnati. There is some energy savings out of this- but it doesn’t pay for itself. They have talked to the Historic Preservation Society. The grid has to be on the outside of the glass. The windows do not open and closed.Turner motioned to approve this out of Cum Courthouse, 2nded. 4 yeses and 3 nays from Kraus, Lansing, and Wright- due to the cost of these. Passes. 

AUDITOR-

Minutes- approved from the last meeting. Connie said she needed people due to turnover and wants a 10% bump for the people making $32-33,000. They keep losing them to the Courthouse She lost 2/7 in the last month. Courthouse and Community Corrections have grants to pay them more. Kraus- We can’t pay our employees a living wage and yet we have those expensive windows- that’s bull cr#@. Council voted to increase the salaries that Fromhold and Bailey have selected. 

Health Department grants-Lead & Covid Vaccine related funding projects. - not addressed. 

Public Comment- none

OPINION MOVES TO PAGE ONE- by Leo Morris

 Opinion Moves to Page One

by Leo Morris

reprinted wit permission of IPR

I just came across a statement so indefensibly foolish that it is hard to fathom how it showed up in print.

 “Readers don’t want us to tell them what to think. They don’t believe we have the expertise to tell anyone what to think on most issues. They perceive us as having a biased agenda.”

That was a statement from a committee of editors at Gannett Co., publisher of USA Today and 250 daily newspapers across the country (15 in Indiana, including the state’s largest, the Indianapolis Star). They recently announced a dramatic change in their editorial pages, which are to be printed much less frequently and will stop carrying things like syndicated columns and editorial cartoons. Even space devoted to letters to the editor will shrink.

Just the facts, in other words. Straight-ahead coverage of the news with no haughty pronouncements from on high about “what it all means.”

Well, now.

The editors are certainly right that people perceive a bias in the press but – I hate to break it to them – it has zero to do with their editorial and op-ed pages.

What people object to is not opinion honestly labeled and presented but the pretense that news is being reported to them objectively and evenhandedly when it fact it is riddled with narrow-mindedness and one-sided preconceptions. The media, including newspapers, have a narrative in service to an agenda, and information that does not serve that narrative is diluted, slanted or just outright omitted.

Go back and read the first sentence of this piece again.

It was strongly stated, with no qualifications or hesitation, begging to be affirmed or refuted by reasoned argument.

It was an opinion, at the top of a column by someone with an agenda, offered to you (presumably) in print or online in the editorial or op-ed section of a newspaper. You might end up agreeing with it or disagreeing with it, but you should not be offended at having encountered it.

I can’t speak for all editorial page editors but, having worked as one for 30-some years, I can honestly say I never tried to tell readers what to think. I offered them something to think about. Before every round of candidate endorsements (Gannett is doing away with those, too), I wrote an editorial telling readers we hoped they used our opinions as just one source among many in making their voting decisions.

I felt I was doing my part to elevate the conversation, offering good arguments to generate better ones, to create a debate that would help us all sort through the clutter to glimpse at least a part of some greater truth.

I was also trying to assure readers that those of us at the newspaper knew the difference between a fact and an opinion and would do our best to keep them separate.

And, finally, I was trying to remind reporters of their obligation to readers. All of us have prejudices and preconceptions and, try as we might, we can’t always keep them at bay, no matter how “fair” and “neutral” we try to be. But the effort needs to be made by those claiming to present the news to others. The “news” means all of it, not just the parts its disseminators agree with.

The demarcation between facts and opinion has all but disappeared today, and citizens seem increasingly comfortable with following the particular mix that mirrors their own beliefs. “Confirmation bias” is no longer a cognitive danger to be avoided – it is a comfort actively sought. We no longer bother ourselves to see the other side, to challenge assumptions, to weigh claims and counterclaims, to think instead of react.

We don’t need less opinion. We need more forthright opinion, honestly expressed rather than lurking in disguise.

Gannett might hope it is helping vanquish the perception of bias from its readers. It is not. It is reinforcing that perception.

This is Civil Con contract for design NTE $35,000. The road will be closed for about 1-2 months when this has to be constructed. Funding in budget for design but not the construction.

Jason Kinker an advocate for Rose Kinder on Jenny Lynn Drive. Father was Bank president and family is pro growth. There is a certain character to certain areas. It was a dead end road when they moved there. The emergency exit is used by cars as if it’s a regular access especially since  it’s graveled. It was adjudicated back in 2000’s and with changes in commissioners things change and they forget what was decided. His brother spoke at the last meeting.
