APC approves Rolling Ridge second addition on Kuhn Lake

By TERRI CHILCOTE The Kosciusko County Area Plan Commission approved the final plat for Rolling Ridge Second Addition on Kuhn Lake during its Wednesday, Dec. 3, meeting at the county courthouse in Warsaw. The plat had been denied at last month’s hearing due to a drainage problem raised by remonstrators. The property is being developed by Marnita Corporation and is located on a 3.16 acre tract of land on the east side of Rattlesnake Drive west of SR 13 on the east side of Kuhn Lake in Tippecanoe Township. Steven Snyder represented Marnita Corporation at Wednesday's hearing. The petition had been denied last month because adjacent property owners, who live in a subdivision also developed by Marnita Corporation, said there was a drainage problem due to a blocked drainage ditch. The board instructed County Surveyor Charles Brower, a member of the APC, to inspect the ditch and the case was tabled until Brower could make a determination. . Brower reported at Wednesday’s meeting the developers had unblocked the ditch and water would now drain properly. However, remonstrators, represented by attorney Steven Hearn, raised new objections Wednesday afternoon. "We appreciate the work they (the petitioners) did as far as the drainage is concerned,” noted Hearn, but he said his clients were concerned that the plat lacked restrictive covenants and the road is not indicated on the plat. The remonstrators wanted restrictions on the plat that would guarantee the petitioners would maintain proper drainage in the future. Hearn also stated the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) was “upset" about the work done on the ditch which leads to the lake. (A permit is required by the DNR for any work done that alters the shore line of any Indiana Lake). Hearn indicated the DNR may require the petitioners to undo the work and “then there goes our drainage." In regards to the road, Snyder assured remonstrators his clients would not take out the road which meets county standards. “They are not going to take out the road, because they have to provide access," he stated. If the DNR is upset about the ditch, Snyder said, his clients were unaware of it. He pointed out no citations had been issued by the DNR. The board voted to approve the final plat on the conditions the road be indicated on the plat and restrictions be recorded with the plat. Board members Steve Butts cast the only dissenting vote. Rezoning Denied A petition filed by the State Bank of Syracuse to rezone .67 acres from a residential district to a commercial district was denied. The property is located on the east side of SR 13, 440 feet south of the Kosciusko-Elkhart County line in Turkey Creek Township. The bank had acquired the property in a foreclosure and

sought a zoning change to facilitate sale of the property. The property is surrounded by commercial and light manufacturing. Hearn, speaking on behalf of himself as an adjacent poperty owner, objected to the petition along with nearby residents Kathryn Knisley and Don McFarland. Hearn felt the rezoning would result in a thin strip of com-mercially-zoned land next to a residential area; although, he admitted he Nioubts that particular piece of land would ever be used for residential purposes. Mrs. Knisley felt the rezoning would leave the door open to types of commercial enterprises that would be incompatible to the area. She said she did not object to the other nearby businesses such as the beauty shop, realty office and post office. Because they were separated from the residential area. She also said she did not object the nearby ball park, because it provided recreation for neighborhood children and was only used during the summer. Hearn acknowledged he would not object to certian types of commercial activities on the property in question, but there were certain types of commercial enterprises to which he would object. ’ “Let’s find out what's going to go in there before we rezone it." he suggested. Board member Dee Stiver agreed there would be certain commercial activities he would not like to see established there eithter and motioned to deny the petition in order to retain control of the property in the event an incompatible type of buisness was established on the land. The other board members agreed and voted unanimously to deny the petition and suggested the bank could apply for a special exception when it had a prospective buyer. The Syracuse Town Board will decide final action on the case at its regular meeting, December 16. Other Business In other business, the APC tabled a petition filed by Wayne Bucher to rezone 7.75 acres from an agricultural district to a residential district. The property is located on the east side of CR 200E, 2,000 feet north of CR 950 N Warsaw driver injured when car hits tree Greg C. Ackerman, 26, r 6 Warsaw, was injured. after his car collided with a tree on December 3 on CR 375E, two and one-half miles southwest of Syracuse. His vehicle reportedly was traveling on 375E when he approached a curve at a high rate of speed and lost control. His auto left the roadway and struck a tree. The Syracuse EMS treated Ackerman for severe cheek and back of the head lacerations. His wounds were dressed and he was transported to Goshen Hospital. Indiana State Police' charged him With driving under the influence of intoxicating beverages. His 1970 car had SSOO damage. Watch toys at Christmas Virtually every department, discount, drug and variety store enlarges its toy section during the holiday buying season. Shoppers should have a clear idea of what is most appropriate for the children on their gift lists. Otherwise, impulse buying may result in selections that are improperly matched to a child’s age and ability level. Current studies in child psychology indicate that children prefer and benefit most from toys that are just a little above their level of competence. Toys should provide children with some measure of immediate success and satisfaction, but require a longer term — perhaps weeks or months — and a good dose of parental involvement for children to understand and explore the full potential of their playthings. Although most toys produced today are as safe as they are sophisticated, shoppers should be aware of seven toy dangers. Watch for sharp edges, small parts, sharp points, loud noises, propelled objects, electrical toys that are above the child’s level of difficulty and choosing the wrong toy for the wrong age. Minor damage as truck hits car x \Minor damage resulted when a I truck rolled backwards into a car ( -ai the intersection of Bronson and ' 'Center Streets in Warsaw last Thursday. Arthur W. Spencer, 53, r 1 Milford, told Warsaw city police officer Lance Grubbs he depressed the clutch pedal to allow his truck to roll backwards and provide additional space for a turning vehicle.

in Van Buren Township. The case had been tabled from November’s meeting following a noaction vote by the board. Bucher had informed APC Director Dan Richards he would be unable to attend Wednesday’s meeting and the January meeting, so the board tabled the matter until the February 4
