Biggs Again Seeking Planners OK For Paths Of Deerfield Subdivision
July 28, 2016 at 4:25 p.m.
Ralph Biggs will be before the Warsaw Plan Commission tonight for the fourth time in as many months, hoping for approval of his proposed subdivision, Paths of Deerfield.
Biggs' platting of the housing edition is currently designed as a planned unit development, which recently sparked debate with the board regarding what is expected of a PUD request.
Commission members tabled an identical petition from Biggs during a Nov. 15 meeting after failing to obtain a majority vote. With two members absent, a 3-2 decision fell short of approval by one vote.
The property, at the southwest corner of CRs 75N and 175E, consists of roughly 40 acres, which Biggs intends to turn into 110 lots.
In a commission report, city planner Jeremy Skinner recommended the board approve the request, pending Biggs' submission of proper drainage calculations for the subdivision.
Also considered will be a realignment of the adjacent intersection. Factors such as fencing, right of way and engineering costs could become responsibilities of the developer if approval is granted during tonight's meeting.
In other issues, the board's meeting schedule for 2006 will be addressed, as well as a commission appointment to the Board of Zoning Appeals.
Board members are Joe Thallemer, Jeff Grose, Lacy Francis, Jim Gast, Alan Clingan, Tammy Dalton and Rick Keevan. [[In-content Ad]]
