ABSENT: Diane Bender, Jim Helms (surgery recuperation).

Also present:Sue Hayden, county administrator and minute taker, Andrea Ewan, attorney, Connie Fromhold, Auditor and DCRC treasurer.
Title VI statement read as legally required.
Election of Officers- same as last year:
President- Jim Deaton
Vice President-Dave Deddens
Secretary- Jim Helms
APPROVAL OF MINUTES- November 19 and December 5 minutes tabled again as the quorum present was not the quorum for the meetings.
CLAIMS AND FINANCIALS
$10,000, Unity Scientific (tabled from last meeting – to be paid from Whitewater Mill TIF)- TABLED again as Nagel hasn’t done their part yet per Randall.
 $30,000, Signarama for Aurora Business Park Sign, $950, Umbaugh for Project Butterfly – both to be paid from W. Aurora TIF and $2,442.61, Ewan Law Office for legal services 7/10/18 thru 12/19/18 - Approved
Financials passed out for cash balances.
UNFINISHED BUSINESS:
Hirlinger Chevrolet Update- nothing new on them
EDA with Nagel and Sons- Randall said economic development agreement was signed by them. The DCRC should wait to sign until they get the payment to Unity Scientific for their portion so it can be paid together. 
Billboard Contract Updates- Super 8 will not be renewed per Ewan. Deddens said he might have one or two new people wanting to use the sign. Fireworks guy has not responded and as of August no one has paid. they have till Jan 31 to get current. Randall wanted to use one maybe for branding us as having property for businesses. Batesville had one for the I-74 corridor. Discussion regarding getting others to use the signs even CVTB maybe.
NEW BUSINESS:
Jim Deaton brought up School Boards and the requirement from new legislation that you invite school boards to a meeting and have a report for them. They are planning on doing this in March meeting.
The impact letter is due in July and Sue Hayden patterns that one on Pittman’s past ones with the data added from Auditor. 
Discussion on if and what the percentage of TIF would be to go towards the work force development for the schools. Also discussion on capital improvement fund for that. They were looking at NEW development and not diminishing those funds already set by previous business. 
Randall said that economic development of the state recommends staying away from sharing the dollars with the schools with perpetual stream of funds.There is a philosophical difference of opinion on whether they are hurting the schools with TIFs. Jamie Graf said he will give update at Sunman Dearborn school districts tonight. No decisions.   
ONE DEARBORN REPORT: Drone Video of Property for REDI Cincinnati Marketing Piece- Randall said the drone footage looks nice and Randall will drop box it so they can view it. She got it to REDI in the deadline. She wanted to make sure they had full rights to the footage. She hopes they will be one of the finalists to have that used by REDI marketing. Cushman Wakefield will see this also. This would be a great use of Duke funds to get this info out per Randall. Blast of the property went out to 3400 people in the Cushman Wakefield database and netted 6 calls. She said we are getting exposure. Randall- Out of 40 plus leads last year and the majority need an existing building.That’s where you get the developers involved per Randall. Cushman Wakefield has data on what is being built and needed in the state. Greendale has a lot more money in their TIF and we can see what they build for a spec building if they do. She said the only way to do it is to use the former Tootles property [Note: Why not name the current owner of the property?] Contacted Port for rail and Gennessee Wyoming Railroad and talked. DCRC members said the Tootles property has access issues and fill needed. [NOTE: This all seems to feed back to Maxwell owned property]
ATTORNEY’S REPORT- nothing more
OTHER BUSINESS-none

This covers pavements and HWC does this as an unbiased assessment for the county. They evaluate 50% of the roads each year. They will update the pavement management plan for $15,000. This was $30,000 initially. Now they are cheaper as they are re-evaluating.  Approved and signed.

USI Consultants On-Call Professional Services for Consulting Engineer- sometimes there are engineering design work for the highway dept. for spot projects. This is a good company out of Indy. They recently hired Doug Graf who will be in an office on Yorkridge Road. This is for on-call work.They will discuss the scope and costs individually on projects. This is useful for washouts and small projects that infrequently occur. Maximum of $25,000 is the limit per code. Approved. 

Bridge #76, Jamison Road Construction Inspection Contract- last paperwork for this for Rohe Paving and also the inspection contract itself for FPBH for $32,125. Both approved.

Baudendistel brought this up while Listerman is present- Bentle’s properties are being acquired but they are not in agreement on the appraisal from the county. Richard Butler, their lawyer, said they are getting their own appraisals. So the county is getting their condemnation files in order. They need this by Jan 11. They will proceed with condemnation filed on Jan 11- but they can still negotiate after that.  This is for Stateline project. They court will appoint 3 appraisers and they will proceed from there. This is a federal aid project so this is needed. The county got an appraisal and then had a review appraisal of that one. 

ADMINISTRATOR – Sue Hayden- thanked for reappointment.

AUDITOR – Connie Fromhold  -Claims/Minutes from Dec 18th approved. Probst abstained form the minutes approval as he was not in office then.

There is a small claims judgment for $6000 for drainage issues. That judgement is almost paid off. No the aliens on property.

Rick Probst- glad to be here-I obviously don’t know what Im doing yet-  the more I learn the more I find there is to learn. Pleased with how a complaint on Gutzwiller Rd and he saw how it worked out, even though he was not commissioner then.

17 December 2018 Plan Commission Meeting Notes


17 December 2018 Dearborn County Plan Commission Meeting Notes
Present: Dennis Kraus, Jr., Chairman, Russell Beiersdorfer, Mark Lehman, Michael Lynch, Jake Hoog, Bill Ullrich, Jim Thatcher, and Eric Lang
ABSENT: John Hawley
Also Present: Mark McCormack, Plan Director, and Andy Baudendistel, Attorney.
Title VI statement read by Baudendistel as legally required.
ACTION ON MINUTES- no minutes to be approved.
OLD BUSINESS: none
NEW BUSINESS:
  1. Request: Primary Plat Approval for a Major Subdivision Scenic Ridge Subdivision Applicant: Jeff Talkers / Land Consultants Owner: John T. Maas, Jr. / Scenic Drive, LLC Site Location: Scenic Drive Legal: Sec. 8, T5, R1, Map #07-08, Parcel # 037.001 Township: Lawrenceburg Size: 56.5 Acres
Eric Lang left the room as he works for Land Consultants to avoid a conflict of interest. 
McCormack presented the case. The board CANNOT make a decision tonight because there is no letter from DC Regional Sewer District allowing LMU to provide sewers in DCRC territory. 

McCormack said it’s predominantly Ag zoning around the site and including the site except for NE with is residential. Views of the site and topography maps were presented. There are plans to level out part of Scenic Drive for site distance as required by the Highway Engineer. Primary Plat review is the first state of the development process. Improvement and Construction Plan process is the 2nd stage. This is the phase where they find out how feasible the plans are. If the codes are met the subdivision primary plat must be approved. This is all laid out in section 200 of the code. About 3.14 acres per lot so it meets  code from lot density. 
The proposed road runs straight off Scenic Drive where the almost 90 degree turn is located. The site distance issue is because the property in the one direction is mowed sometimes - but it is not owned by the applicant. They may have to consider a stop sign at the one area. Pictures showed the site distance issues. 
They still need a letter from DCRC to let LMU serve the area. They do have a letter from LMU. Still need a letter from Lawrenceburg EMS. The fire chief letter said he was concerned about FUTURE growth beyond this with the existing 8 in line. He’s OK with it for this particular development. 
County Engineer letter details the site distance needed. The applicants primary plat plans and accompanying information.
Eight adjoining property owners were notified of this hearing. 

Jeff Talkers with Land Consultants presented. Jack Maas owns this and wants to develop it for higher end homes. They are to have sewers and fiberoptic. The project will NOT be built unless there is public sewer. We see that this will probably not happen for about 2 years. There was supposed to be a working meeting with LMU and the county sewer board. He does not have an input from that meeting as of yet. 
Lehmann asked about the relocation of the center line on Scenic Drive- yes they planned to do that. They also conformed that the school is OK and the cul de sac is made to accommodate the school bus turnaround. Site distance was the biggest issue. 

Opened Public Discussion:
Tim Center-Speaking for his parents who live on Scenic Drive. He asked about the rule that it has to be approved if it meets all the codes. McCormack explained that. It is NOT like the discrete that they have with rezoning. This land is not being rezoned. The lot sizes are OK in Ag zone. They need sewer because of the slope that would make getting primary and secondary sites for septic approved. He asked about recourse for the county of the dirt is not moved the way they want for the road issues. McCormack explained the bonding process. He also talked about certificates of occupancy. He also said the bonds are now monitored closely and they don’t lapse. The road is  lane and a half- there are no plans to widen it yet. 

Angela Carter-He driveway is right before this site. She has grandkids getting the bus there and also in getting mail- has almost been hit out there. Cars miss the curve and end up off the road needing to be pushed out. The hayfield is NOT owed routinely out there. 

Shawn J? - lived there most of his life. The grade of the hill is a concern- sun is blinding coming up there. This load nearly triples the number of drivers. This is used as a shortcut to Manchester sometime. Suggest they do a vehicle count. Scenic drive cannot handle any more traffic with it’s current construction. Will Lawrenceburg annex that? That is a concern- He doesn’t think they need another subdivision. This is a country road. It is shady on the hill and ice does not melt on it.  

Patrick Mulvaney- owns the 33 acres from Wilson Creek up there. Concerned about stormwater runoff so that it doesn’t run off not his property. McCormack told them about the rule on stormwater control. They have to have a 75 ft setback from Scenic Road. Deterent will be topography. They will need easements for some of the utilities- McCormack agreed. He also asked if the slides were on line- YES. At Planning website.

Mr Stammer- Lives on adjoining property- 4 inch main form Manchester waterworks- not LMU- and no fire hydrants - just a flush out one.

Victor Whitley- owns property at the curve. Wants to know f they can take his property to enrich themselves. He was told they need to get an easement from him to fix the road. Kraus told him they cannot but the county can use the right of way to maintain the road.

Closed Public discussion

Board TABLED this till he January 28th Planning Commission meeting providing they get the DC Regional Sewer and Lawrenceburg EMS letters. Passed. Kraus will try to get updated information on the traffic count of Scenic. 

ADMINISTRATIVE:

Plan Commission Meeting Schedule was approved for 2019- It’s available online. The November meeting will be Nov18th not the 25th due to conflict for Kraus. Long discussion about tightening up the deadline rules for materials for cases to be in. Board agreed to do this. 

County Zoning Ordinance, with respect to Zone Map Amendments (and applications / forms) - For Jan meeting. 

Staff changes: 3 positions open- Karen Abbott is retiring. Part time adm assistant gave notice also. The part time employees are often leaving for full time positions in the county. The code enforcement spot is open also. Starting with interviews now. Accepting applications deadline is January 5. Hoping to have them shadow Karen until she leaves Jan 25. 20-30 good applicants for Mgr spot. Part time has several good ones also. Thatcher wants to talk to McCormack about HR helping with that.

OLD BUSINESS
Wilker Property Update- Building Commissioner - Bill Shelton- gave a letter to them and Mr Stearns, the Wilker’s attorney. The time limit was up on Dec 1 and Wilker was working past the deadline himself even though it was specified that he was not to do the work himself. Thatcher and Shelton inspected the house on Dec 3. He gave  listing of what was done and what was not finished. Drainage issues are not finished. He says they need to move forward into receivership on this property. 
Mark Stearns- attorney for Wilker- said he just received the letter and going thru it one item at a time. JD was working on cleaning up the site- not performing the construction. He does not see any code violations in the list. Gravel driveways are code- pavers nor required. The catch basin worked on the recent rain that we had. There is no lien on the property. Seeding has been placed and some natural plants left in place to control erosion. Lawyer said they have stayed in touch with county attorney all along and the progress has been good. The catch basin was designed by Hrezo engineering-  and he provided the plans to commissioners. The pipes left out in the side yard are not out of code. 
This boils down to the agreement- not the code- per Thatcher. 
Little motioned that Baudendistel entered the court to appoint a receiver for the property as Wilker failed to meet the Dec 1st deadline.  Passed and approved.
Baudendistel - If the court agrees then they will need guidance on appointing a receiver. He will file that today and wait for the hearing date. Shelton will try to find candidates to act as receiver for the court.
