Public support for county plan eyed

By BECKY IGO Banner-Graphic News Editor Without public support, the Putnam County Planning Commission’s effort to develop a comprehensive plan will be for naught That was the information given to members of the county Plan Commission, as members met in public session Wednesday night at the courthouse. ADDRESSING THE group were Dr. Joseph Yahner of Purdue University and Jim Hawley, director of the Tippecanoe Planning Board in Lafayette. “What you will be trying to do is look at your community and try to find some way to organize the growth and shape of it,” Yahner explained, citing the reason behind development of a comprehensive plan. “You can make your plan simple or complicated.” Currently, members are trying to determine whether a consultant should be hired to develop that

Middle school, Bainbridge projects officially separate

By BECKY IGO Banner-Graphic News Editor It became official Thursday night when the North Putnam School Board decided to handle the Bainbridge and middle school proposals as two separate projects. The decision was reached, although not unanimously, as board members heard from architect Michael Eagan of Schmidt Associates Architects, the Indianapolis firm working with the North Putnam School Corporation on its building projects. CONCERNING THE Bainbridge Elementary School, where the biggest improvement will be the construction of a new gym, Eagan said the project is moving along on schedule. Construction documents are approximately 50 percent done and should be completed around May 21, Eagan reported to the board. “We should be able to start construction in late September,” he added. That time frame allows three weeks to prepare building documents, an additional 30-day remonstrance period (as required by iaw) to follow and 30 days foi the bidding process. “By Sept. 17, we may be able to approve the bids for construction,” Eagan said. “Construction should be completed in late July (1991).” Remodeling work at the school. Eagan reminded the board, will be finished first with completion of the gym to follow.

plan. Although Yahner said a consultant is valuable, he also added words of caution. “If you bring in a consultant, you’ll be bringing in someone who is from outside your county and they will be a stranger to your community. “THAT’S WHY YOU need to work closely with your consultant or you’ll end up with a plan that is foreign to you.” Yahner suggested, as did Hawley, that Putnam County consider combining planning efforts with the city to avoid duplication in many areas. “In a way, most of your problems are in the city anyway because hat’s where most of the people are, that’s where most of your traffic is and it is where most everything else is.” That is the step that Tippecanoe County took when it enjoined citycounty efforts into one “area” planning board. HAWLEY ADVISED, however, if the cowty does hire a consultant

before a final decision is made. After Eagan’s presentation, which included a display of the structure proposed, the board decided it best to keep the middle school goal in mind, but not to the point of rushing the project. (Banner-Graphic photo by Becky Igo).

Clean-Up Week last chance to rid yard of your leaves

One final sweep of leaves that fell last fall will be made this coming week as part of Spring Clean-Up Week in Greencastle, City Street Commissioners Jim Wright has announced. Wright said his crews will begin leaf collection on Monday

“AS YOU CAN SEE,” North Putnam SupL Tom Rohr advised, “this (the Bainbridge project) is greatly scaled back from the first proposal.” He did say the four extra classrooms proposed to be built as a “Y” shape behind the current school will be bid as an “alternate.” However, board member Mary Martin advised a realty company has purchased 10-12 lots in the Heritage Lake area, hoping to provide modular homes for younger couples to purchase. With those younger couples come young children, she noted, wondering if the board shouldn’t go ahead and add the four Bainbridge classrooms on now. “I think we really need to look at those four classrooms as add-ons,” Martin stressed. BOARD MEMBERS were told that if the Bainbridge school remodeling is done without the four additional classrooms alternate, the

that members make certain the comprehensive plan the county ends up with is what the board and residents want “Don’t let a consultant come in and tell you what your plan is going to be,” he emphasized. Also, both men said the Putnam County residents will be key to whether the comprehensive plan is effective. “If the public is not behind you, then it (planning) won’t work,” Hawley simply stated. “You have to find out what your county wants,” Hawley said. “You have to find out if they want a junk yard next to their home, if someone doesn’t care if his neighbor has five trailers on his lot or if someone has 40 dogs on their property. “IT’S TOUGH,” Hawley said of implementing planning and zoning. “But you have to live with a few rules to make everyone live together. The comprehensive plan

building will be able to accommodate 400 students. If the four extra classrooms are added, the school can house up to 500 students. Meanwhile, the Bainbridge school’s current enrollment is 384 pupils. The enrollment at the beginning of the 1990 school year is expected to be 350 students. But the Heritage Lake modular addition, and a planned development in the Clinton Falls area, could bump that Bainbridge enrollment up tremendously. Meanwhile, Rohr said board members will be contacted soon to attend sessions to finalize details of the Bainbridge plan such as selecting the type of bleachers to be installed in the new gym, etc. EAGAN THEN WENT over middle school plans which, he admitted, are not as far along as the Bainbridge project That informaContinued on Page A 3

must be made up of rules your community can agree upon.” Hawley and Yahner also recommended that Putnam County seriously consider hiring a planner to work with the consultant. That person, they noted, would be directly responsible to the Plan Commission and would help keep members informed of the consultant’s progress. The planner, both added, could be hired on a part-time basis to work with the consultant, but then be moved up to full-time status to head a county planning office. “THIS WOULD BE a staff person to support the Planning Commission,” Hawley said, referring to the pllnner. “They could work with you tnd the consultant during the development of a plan, and then would have the knowledge to carry on when the consultant (is finished with his or her work).
