Old exception is granted extension

By LISA MEYER Banner-Graphic Staff Writer CLOVERDALE A request to extend a special exception and a preliminary plat plan for a subdivision received the approval of the Cloverdale Plan Commission, and later, the Cloverdale Board of Zoning Appeals during separate meetings Thursday night. The special exception requested by John Whitkanack 111 extended a situation that the plan commission had approved in November 1987. At that time, he had beep granted approval to locate a mobile home on his property for two years. During that time, he was to start construction of a new house on Cemetery Road. HOWEVER, THE plan commission noted a few months ago that the special exception had expired two years ago but the house was never built. Whitkanack’s father, John Whitkanack 11, told the plan commission Thursday night that his son had run into some problems and could not start construction. But, he still intends to build a house on the site, Whitkanack said. He requested a five-year extension of the special exception. Plan commission members Mike Gray, Bill Henson, Jim Kabzinski, Don Larkin and Steve Walters agreed to grant a two-year extension, saying that Whitkanack could reapply in two years for additional time, if necessary. THE ZONING board also agreed to the two-year extension. Also, Bob Gerlach presented a petition for approval of a preliminary plat plan to subdivide 2.6 acres into five lots. The Clover Meadows Subdivision is to be located on County Road 1100 South.

Gerlach said each lot will have its own septic system, but will receive town water. The plan commission approved the preliminary plan. The final plat plan will be drawn up by the county surveyor. MEANWHILE, zoning board members Earle G. Davis, Gray, Henson, Larkin and Will Neibold agreed that a business on the town’s north side has not complied with the zoning board’s request to remove junk automobiles from its location. Some junk cars have been moved from Cloverdale Auto Sales, Neibold said, but some strippeddown cars still remain on the site. The junk autos are visible to motorists on U.S. 231. According to town ordinance, leaving three or more inoperable motor vehicles in an open area constitutes a junkyard. And junkyards are not allowed under town ordinance. LARKIN READ A short letter from business owners Brenda and Jim Smith responding to a letter concerning the junk cars written by zoning board attorney Jack Woodruff. The Smiths’ letter states merely that they have a license to operate their used car business. And, town building commissioner Lonnie Bryant told the zoning board that he has three building permits for which people have applied, but the applicants never picked up or paid for the permits. The zoning board directed Bryant to telephone the applicants and ask them to pick up the permits, pay for them and receive the required building inspections.

Computer bids in at Cloverdale By JOE THOMAS Banner-Graphic Assistant Editor CLOVERDALE The plan to computerize every classroom in the Cloverdale school system took another step toward reality on New Year’s Eve when three firms submitted bids for the project. The school system hopes to place a computer at each teacher work station and link them with computer labs in both schools, along with each building’s administration and the central administration office. Supt. John McKinney had warned the board that the project could run as much as $250,000. Turns out, he estimated on the high side. THE JOB WAS broken down into three parts and bidders could submit prices on any single item or all three, or any combination of the three. The three parts of the job include basic hardware and software, network hardware and cable installation. Advance Data Systems of New Goshen was the only firm to bid on all three parts of the project. ADS is seeking $196,209 to do the entire job. ADS wants $116,900 for basic hardware and software, $63,809 for the network hardware and $15,500 for installing the cable for the system. INTERNATIONAL Business Machines Corp, submitted a bid for basic hardware and software only, seeking $203,980 for that part of the job. Computer Resource Management of Bloomington offered a bid of $108,850 for basic hardware and software. The bids will be analyzed by Jeff Steiglitz of Indianapolis Maverick Inc., a computer firm serving as consultant to the CCSC for this project UNLESS THE BIDS are thrown out, the fact that ADS is the only firm to offer prices of network hardware and cable installation seems to guarantee they will win some amount of work. The CCSC could vote to buy basic hardware and software from Computer Resource Management since its bid is, $8,050 lower than the ADS offer in that category. That would drop the total price to $188,159. However, the bid specifications called for each bidder to detail how much support they will offer with the job. Computer Resource Management did not mention aftersale support and ADS did. IN THEORY, THE board could opt to buy IBM machines since that is what is currently in the student computer labs and because the price is still below what the school system expected to bid, even though it was the highest bid. McKinney said he plans of having a recommendation ready for the board’s consideration at the Jan. 13 meeting.
