First was the final plat for phase II of Harrison Lake subdivision. The 39.15 acres is on the northeast side of Husky Trail, north of Harrison Elementary School.
City Planner Jeremy Skinner said, “It has been reviewed. It is compliant with the original plat back in 2006, and all the lots meet the requirements of an (Residential)-2 zoning. The city has inspected and approved the infrastructure, i.e. the road that was constructed for phase 2. So I see no reason why not to grant this plat.”
He noted that city engineer and Plan Commission member James Emans “reviewed the original drainage plan for its performance with that as well.”
The developer, Steve Carlile, just said he was in favor of it, and there were no remonstrators.
Plan Commission member and Councilwoman Diane Quance asked what was directly behind it where the utility egress was located. She also asked if the land behind there also may be developed in the future.
Skinner replied that the subdivision “is on the opposite side of the road of the apartments. Behind it is all private property. I think there’s two or three houses behind there.”
He said the easement is part of an ingress/egress they use to access their property and is the access the city uses to access the lift station behind those properties. Skinner said there’s nothing really that could be developed in the future there from a development standard because it’s pretty low ground.
Quance made a motion to approve the final plat, and it was approved 8-0.
The second final plat was for property at Godman and Columbia Streets owned by Habitat for Humanity of Kosciusko County. It wants to create three new lots from the original 1.145 acres.
Skinner said Habitat provided its preliminary plat in August.
“There were some things they had to do. They have made those revisions. I believe they installed the sanitary sewer line. I think we’re still waiting on one last air test,” he said.
Emans said they had to wait at least 30 days after installation for the air test of the sanitary sewer. It has been scheduled.
“It’s scheduled for inspection so I don’t see any reason why we can’t grant the final plat,” Skinner said.
With no remonstrators, the Commission unanimously approved Habitat for Humanity’s final plat.
In the last bit of business, the board approved the 2017 meeting dates as 7 p.m. on the second Monday of every month. Skinner said there were no holidays that conflicted with the scheduled.
