Warsaw Plan Commission approved a final plat for a retirement subdivision in Warsaw Monday night.

The project consists of a three-lot subdivision east of Jalynn Street and Walmart with an average lot size more than three acres.

The subdivision will allow the construction of 54 residential units to be built on approximately 10.5 acres of land.

The preliminary plat was approved in September 2009, subject to the city approving the development plans and construction of public utilities prior to final plat approval.

The subdivision meets all of the requirements of a subdivision within a residential zoning district.

The commission also approved preliminary and final plats for three lots west of Ind. 15 and Poor Drive. The project consists of two lots with an existing residential structure located on lot one and the remaining property on lot two.

The remaining lot will be granted ingress and egress through a 10-foot limited access easement from Ind. 15. There will be no infrastructure or utility improvements proposed with the subdivision.

The commission also approved preliminary and final plats for a Warsaw Christian Church-Warsaw Fire Department subdivision.

The project consists of two lots, with Warsaw Community Church currently occupying lot one, and lot two will consist of approximately 1.88 acres located in the southwest corner of the property.

Warsaw Fire Department plans to purchase the second lot to build a fire station, but that needs to be approved still and appraisals on the property need to be conducted.

The commission also discussed a junkyard ordinance for the city.

The ordinance states scrap yards are permitted in an industrial zoned district provided that the site has a two-acre area minimum, and buildings or structures must be located a minimum of 50 feet from all property lines.

There also must be adequate screening and fencing as required in the ordinance, an opaque fence, 12 feet in height must be maintained in a state of good repair around all scrap yards and machinery required for the operations must be installed and operated as to minimize noise and vibration.

City Planner Jeremy Skinner said he will draft an ordinance that will be reviewed by the plan commission, and the city council will need to review the ordinance.[[In-content Ad]]
