Continuously serving Kosciusko County since 1854
The three vacations and one rezoning before the Kosciusko County Commissioners Tuesday faced no remonstration.
Those petitions approved included:
• Thomas and Patricia Kelley's petition to vacate an approximate 100-foot road right of way on the north side of Waco Drive in Turkey Creek Township.
• Margaret Ann Weaver's petition to vacate a 50-foot by 50-foot common area on the south side of EMS T1 Lane in Tippecanoe Township.
• A petition by Douglas and Barbara Sledge, Joseph and Brenda Oswalt and Donald Smith to vacate a 200-foot alley between EMS B42 D Lane and EMS B42 F Lane in Tippecanoe Township.
• Jackie and Suzanne Caudill's petition to rezone three acres in Seward Township, on the western edge of Burket, from a commercial to an agricultural district.
In other business, the commissioners:
• Approved a proclamation and endorsement of the American Legion's community-wide celebration of World War II veterans on May 29. Events will include a prayer breakfast, walk-a-thon to raise money for Riley Hospital, a Poker Run, a ceremony, a possible USO show and other events to be planned.
"It's huge," said Dennis Nice, Post 49. "The Legion's never done anything this big before."
• Approved the county to continue participating in the community ratings system. As long as the county continues in the program, property owners who buy flood insurance get a 5 percent discount, according to plan commission assistant planner Matt Sandy.
• Approved the closing of approximately two miles of CR 750N for a church walk Nov. 8 from 9 to 10:30 a.m.
Kosciusko County Commissioners are Brad Jackson, northern district; Ron Truex, middle district; and Avis Gunter, southern district. They meet at 9 a.m. in the county courthouse, Warsaw, every other Tuesday. Their next meeting has been rescheduled to Monday, Oct. 6.
