Preliminary plat approval given for Lakeview Terrace

By CATHY BRILL Staff Writer The Kosciusko Area Plan Commission approved a preliminary plat petition for the Lakeview Terrace Subdivision, located east of Woodview Drive, 812 feet north of Armstrong Road and near Grassy Creek, in Tippecanoe Township. The proposed 22.75 acre plat has been both denied, returned by the County Commissioners and tabled several times in the past with sewage systems, drainage and seawalls as the major causes of concern. The APC met Wednesday afternoon, Dec. 7, and reviewed a total of seven cases. The much contested Lakeview Terrace Subdivision received preliminary plat approval in last Wednesday’s meeting. The plat had gone before the technical committee for the second time on November 29.

conclusions involving this preliminary plat: The drainage runoff system be designed to handle a minimum of the projected 10-year storm fall and the overflow for the retention ponds be designed and located at the top of the ponds; pending Indiana Department of Natural Resources approval continuous seawalls of concrete or steel be installed as each lot is sold and the entire seawall completed within five years of the date of final plat approval; the APC should recommend to the county commissioner the adoption of certain minimum subdivision design standards. Other developments of the technical committee’s review include: Dick Weinbrenner’s input concerning the county’s preference of ditches and culverts as opposed to curbs and guttering, the fact that access roads off Armstrong Road must have turn off lanes and that the county would not maintain any of the drainage features; Dan Richard and Steve Boeder’s comments concerning a maintenance program being worked out to insure proper functioning of the drainage system; and Roy Smith’s conclusion that utility

Don Arnold gave the treasurer’s report. He stated the November 30 balance as $1,330.79, adding the fact treasury would soon be deminished by SBBI in order that the letters on the front of the building be paid in full. This, he stated, would lower the remaining balance to $448.79. He also estimated the gross profit of that morning’s pancake breakfast at $430. Arnold requested that a meeting of the finance committee be held prior to the January 14 MAD meeting. He stated that copies of the annual year-end statement would be enclosed in the mailing which MAD will be sending to community members Officers The nominating committee presented the following slate of officers: President — Marcy Haab Vice president — Paris Miller Treasurer — Don Arnold Secretary — Missy Sorenson The committee also suggested four offices this year as compared to the five posts previously used.

Russell Ruch requested that MAD actively take part in the fund raising for the monument to be constructed on the northeast corner of the courthouse lawn. The granite monument will be constructed to honor all Kosciusko County Veterans and will bear the names of all those residents who have given their lives in WWI, WWII, Korea and Vietnam, Ruch mentioned plans for a benefit dance which will be held at the Armory in Warsaw. He estimated that $25,000 will need to be raised for the monument. Ruch added that anyone interested in the project was welcome to attend the January 25 meeting at the Syracuse Legion Home.
