Controversial Tippy plat tabled
The second phase of a controversial preliminary plat for a residential subdivision was continued until next month’s meeting of the Kosciusko County Area Plan Commission. The APC met Wednesday, April 2, in the commissioners! room of the county courthouse. The property is located on a 52.5 acre tract of land on the north side of Armstrong Road and 1.300 feet east of Grassy Creek south of James Lake in Tippecanoe Township. Lakeside Associates, a partnership of Jim R. Chiddister, Jerry L. Chiddister and Ernest D. Schaefer, plans to develop the land into a 72-lot subdivision including a park. The average lot size will be approximately one-half acre. The first phase of the subdivision was approved last month by the APC after three months of deliberations. As with the preliminary plat of the first phase of the development, rerponstrators, represented by Syracuse attorney Jack Lawson, voiced their objections Representing the Tippecanoe Property Owners Association, Mr. and Mrs. Donald Barnhart and family, adjacent property owners and Matt Dalton, Lawson said the plat had not been properly filed. He pointed out the record owners had not signed the petition which is required by the Kosciusko County Subdivision Control Ordinance. He also said the boundary lines in the legal description printed in the newspaper were ill-defined which was contrary’ to the requirements of the ordinance. He requested the petition be readvertised and re-filed to comply

with the ordinance. “Their (Lakeside Associates) presentation is inadequate.” stated Lawson. Remonstrators were also concerned with drainage, park maintenance, lack of restrictive covenants, sewage disposal and traffic flow. Lawson noted the plat did not ’show acceleration and deceleration lanes off of Armstrong Road. He reminded the board it had “a mandated duty” to ensure safe traffic flow. “It’s inconceivable that any Area Plan Commission in this day and age would approve a plat of this size without adequate acceleration and deceleration lanes,” he stated. Warsaw attorney Richard K. Helm, representing Lakeside Associates, said the issues raised were "Stall and delay” tactics. the only thing he (Lawson) is trying to do,” stated Helm. Helm agreed definite boundary lines should be included on the final plat, but maintained the legal advertisement is only to notify property owners of the petition. Helm said his clients had complied with the county ordinance and the same restrictive covenants filed with the first phase plat also applied to the second phase of the development. Helm pointed out it is the board's job to see if the plat complies with the ordinance and if it does not, Helm asked to know what specific section of the ordinance was in violation. It was pointed out to the board the streets in the proposed subdivision will comply with county standards which will probably require accelerationdeceleration lanes or tapers. For
this reason, it was thought unnecessary to include this detail in the preliminary plat. The Area Plan Commission closed the hearing and deliberated for 20 minutes before it decided to re-hear the case at its May meeting. Dan Richards, director of the Area Plan Commission, felt remonstrators had raised points that should be reviewed by the board's attorney. Max Reed. The board asked Lakeside Associates to re-file and readvertise their petition and include acceleration-deceleration lanes, definite boundary lines and record owners' signatures. The board also asked the petitioners to spell out who would be responsible for maintaining the park and paying the property taxes. The petitioners agreed. The APC approved the petition, submitted by Leroy Troyer and Associates, to rezone from a public use and agricultural district to a residential district. The property is located on the west side of SR 13, south of CR U2ON (north and west of South Shore Golf Course) in Turkey Creek Township. Five board members voted to approve the plat, but board member Jerry Grady abstained from voting due to a conflict of interest. Grady rents part of the farmland that will be developed. The board also approved the request of board member Charles Brower, who is developing Barbee Island Shores, for an extension of preliminary plat approval to 24 months. The petition of August and Mabel Berglund to rezone .17 acre from a public use to a residential district was tabled until next month, because no one was present to represent the petitioners. The property is located on the southwest side of SR 13, 400 feet northwest of CR 1060 N (surrounded to the north, west and south by South Shore Golf Course) in Turkey Creek Township. In other business, the APC denied the petition of James and Doris Guy to rezone 12.56 acres from an agricultural to a commercial district. The property is located on the southeast corner of the intersection of U.S. 30 and Fox Farm Road in Praire Township. A local developer asked the board to hear a special exception case before the Board of Zoning Appeals. The developer wants to open a drive-in theater in a light industrial district, either on Old Road 30 west of Warsaw across from R. R. Donnelley’s or U.S. 30E near Quality Farm and Fleet. This type of business is normally a special exception in a commercial district. The board decided neither site was appropriate for that type of business. The April meeting of the Kosciusko County Area Plan Commission concluded at 3:45 p.m. The next regular meeting of the APC will be May 7 at 1 p.m. at the county courthouse.
