Keith Newhouse seconded the motion, which passed unanimously. MINUTES The first item for discussion was the WINAMAC STEEL PRODUCTS approval of the Large Scale Development plan Large Scale Development for Winamac Steel Products, to be located on Industrial Park part of Lot 10, Industrial Park. Property is zoned I-2, General Industrial District. No one was present to represent. Bobbie Jones pointed out the location of the proposed LSD on the Board- room's I -Park map. She noted that she had added in the locations of the 25' utility easements herself on the agenda map, but would require Winamac to sub- mit a new plot plan with the required easements and location of trash containers platted thereon. Chairman Jacks commented that he saw no problems with the plan, other than those noted by Mrs. Jones. Mrs. Jones commented that she had referred Mr. Bob Saunders of Norris Industries (Winamac Steel Products being a subsidiary thereof) to the E.P.A. to inquire whether it needs approval for the water and quench oil tanks lo- cated in the LSD. Keith Newhouse moved to approve the LSD plan subject to the Plat Review comments (which required the plat to be amended to show the location of the trash containers and the locations and dimensions of all easements, and also required "as built" plans to be submitted upon completion of the project). Newton Hailey seconded the motion, which passed unanimously. The next item for discussion was the approval of the Large Scale Development plan for Warren Tool Corporation, to be located on Lot 8, Industrial Park. Property is zoned I-2, WARREN TOOL CORPORATION Large Scale Development Industrial Park oct • • • Subdivision Committee Minutes November 13, 1978 General Industrial District. Terry J. Repak, Architectural Designer for the project, was present to represent, Chairman Jacks noted that all the Plat Review comments had not been satisfied at this time. However, Bobbie Jones commented that she would not issue a building permit until all the requirements were satisfied. Mrs. Jones inquired of Mr. Repak whether he had determined if E.P.A. approval would be necessary for any of the development plans and he replied that Warren Tool Corporation was seeing to that matter. Mrs. Jones noted that additional parking would be needed for future phases of the project and requested that she be given authority by the Commit- tee to approve the parking requirements of the additional phases (if the future phases met all the criteria) without having to bring the plan back to this Committee. Chairman Jacks commented that he felt Mrs. Jones should be allowed to handle the parking requirements as she requested and the other: members of the Committee assented. Newton Hailey moved to (1) approve the LSD plan subject to the Plat Review comments, and (2) to allow Mrs. Jones to administer the parking provi- sions of the zoning ordinance to the subsequent phases of the development with- out bringing them back to this Committee for approval. Keith Newhouse seconded the motion, which passed unanimously. The last item for consideration was the request by Mr. & Mrs. Thomas Rokeby for a waiver of the Subdivision Requirements in order that a newly created lot could have access by way of an existing lane instead of conforming to the requirement that a lot have frontage on a public road. Mr. and Mrs. Rokeby and attorney John Lisle were present to represent. John Lisle presented Mr. and Mrs. Rokeby's request stating that this property lies outsidethe city limits, but is within the planning jurisdiction of the city. He stated that the Rokeby's wanted to sell the part of the property noted on the drawing submitted, but retain a roadway easement along a country lane running parallel with the proposed property to be sold, in order to have access to the remaining property on which their home exists. Mr. Lisle stated that only 9 feet of this lane is actually a part of the parcel to be sold, and that the proposed buyers wanted to own this property so that they could maintain the property up to the lane. He stated that he felt that since the whole idea of requiring road frontage was to make sure that all land could have access in order to be developed, he did not understand why the Committee in- sists that the roadway property be owned outright rather than just by ownership of an easement. A discussion ensued concerning the fee simple ownership vs. easement question and it was the consensus that this question would have to be answered by the Planning Commission. Newton Hailey moved to send this on to the Planning Commission without a recommendation. Keith Newhouse seconded the motion, which passed unanimously. MR. $ MRS. THOMAS ROKEBY Request for Waiver of Subdivision Requirements (Outside City) • The meeting adjourned at 4:48 p.m.
