Cloverdale annexes 5 tracts

By LISA MEYER Banner-Graphic Staff Writer CLOVERDALE The Town of Cloverdale will soon be a few acres larger through the involuntary annexation of some property adjoining the town’s corporate limits. The Cloverdale Town Council voted unanimously Monday to annex five tracts of land on the first reading of Ordinance 1990-6 during a regular council meeting. Council President Mark Cassida said the annexation would bring into the corporate limits property that already receives or has access to town services, as well as square up the boundary’s jagged edges. TWO TRACTS OF land along Stardust Hills Road near Putnam Plastics will be annexed, along with two tracts of land on Burma Road for a total of 19.31 acres. Another huge tract along the CSX railroad, designated the Allegree property, and bounded on all

sides by town property will aiso be annexed. No total acreage of that land was in the legal description of that property. Cassida said there are other areas he would like to see annexed to the town that are receiving the benefits of the town, such as utilities and police and fire protection, but not paying for those services. ORDINANCE 1990-6 will be read again at the council’s next meeting, set for OcL 8, Cassida said. The third reading of the ordinance can be waived at that meeting. Following the ordinance’s adoption, it must be legally published twice, and will become effective 60 days after the second publication. During those 60 days, anyone opposed to the annexation can challenge it by filing a remonstrance and taking the matter to court. Council Attorney John Zeiner said he will also draw up a fiscal

plan for the annexation to be adopted at the next council meeting. THAT PLAN WILL show how the town expects to provide water and sewage service, street and road maintenance, and police and fire protection. Meanwhile, a new trustee was also named to fill a vacancy on the Cloverdale Town Council. Lisa Kabzinski will now represent Cloverdale’s north district on the three-person board. She was selected by council members Cassida and Steve Walters to replace Teresa Adams, who resigned Monday night. In accepting her resignation, Cassida said Adams had served the town with “an open mind and a kind ear.” ADAMS NOTIFIED the Cassida and Walters in August that she would resign for personal reasons t fter Monday’s meeting.

side traffic problems, the proposed extension north is now virtually a dead issue. “We don’t want Judson Drive to go through to Albin Pond Road anymore,” Mayor Harmless commented, “because it (Albin Pond) can’t handle the increase in traffic. Berry Street: While no doubt to be tremendously impacted by the completion of the Southern Highway, should not be removed from the city’s Federal Aid System, it was agreed. “It’s so important to keep Berry Street on the federal system,” the mayor said, dreaming of future repairs to what has been used extensively as a truck route from Manhattan Road to U.S. 231. “We’ve got 14 inches of blacktop in some places of Berry Street,” Harmless said. “We’re going to have to have some financial assistance in gening that road back in shape.” The ideal thing would be in bring in equipment like that utilized in the work on U.S. 231 last year, reclaiming the old pavement and chewing it down to its original surface before repaving.“We may even find curbs down there that way,” the mayor said. Shaver predicted, “it’s going to become very important to connect 10th Street with U.S. 231 South.” The planning expert said it appears residential growth will continued mainly to the south and commercial growth mainly to the east. Extending 10th Street south and angling it to the west to meet U.S. 231 South would connect those two areas of

growth, he noted. A western bypass: Once suggested as an alternative using the abandoned railroad tracks that encircle the west side of the city, the plan is not considered reasonable at this point since it would dump northbound traffic out onto U.S. 231 at the Monon Grill. The only way to take such a bypass further north would be to bore under the railroad tracks north of Kroger or build a bridge over them. Neither is likely to ever occur. One-way pairs: Proposed as an alternative in the 1981 transportation study, the idea is considered unfeasible now. The plan was to make Franklin and Washington streets one-way pairs east and west, with Jackson and Indiana streets one-way companions north and south. Costs, confusion and uncertainty of success were given as reasons for killing the idea. The Plan Commission hopes to have the comprehensive plan wrapped up by Christmas, officials said Monday. Additional special sessions are anticipated, including some away from City Hall in order to solicit from public input. Other than Shaver and the Plan Commission members, the only other persons present at City Hall Monday night were members of the media. The Plan Commission will next meet at 7:30 p.m. Monday, Oct. 8 at City Hall to consider a request by Brad Cross to develop land adjacent to Cross Cuts at Franklin Street and Indianapolis Road for a two-unit office.
