City OKs Rezoning, 2 Vacations
July 28, 2016 at 4:25 p.m.
Following Warsaw Plan Commission's recommendations, the city council approved a rezoning and two public way vacations Monday.
The properties, north of Petro Drive to CR 350N and bordered on the east by Ind. 15N and the Tippecanoe River, were rezoned arterial commercial (C-3) from light industrial (I-2).
City planner Jeff Noffsinger initiated the proposal, saying the new zoning designation better reflects future use of the 134 acres.
Noffsinger said he wanted to be proactive regarding the rezoning, rather than reactive.
The three properties are owned by Petro Family LLC, the John R. Nye Trust and Unitechind Inc.
The vacation of public way requests approved were: the vacation of an unimproved alley between 506 and 510 S. North St., owned by Cynthia Greider and Rachel Greider; and the the vacation of a 3-foot by 66-foot portion of Perry Street along Darlene Eherenman's property.
Members of Boy Scout Troop 715 attended the meeting and asked Mayor Ernie Wiggins what next year's budget will be. Wiggins answered "in the millions," giving a final figure of about $14 million. He said that amount hasn't been certified by the state.
Clerk Elaine Call informed the boys there are as many as 260 employees, with 185 full-time workers for the city, in response to another question.
In other business, the council:
• Approved a transfer of funds as requested by the fire department in the amount of $2,800 from professional services to operating supplies to cover the purchase of foam and gas/diesel expenses for December.
• Approved a transfer of funds as requested by the parks department in the amount of $2,300 from professional services to debt services to pay for monthly rental of park equipment ($300) and to repair and supplies ($2,000) to pay for the seasonal light display and equipment repairs.
City council members are Trish Brown, George Clemens, Jeff Grose, Jerry Patterson, Bill Rhoades Charlie Smith and Joe Thallemer. [[In-content Ad]]
