The interstate 465 now bisects the plat and it is in transitional area F, Commercial Land Use, in the Carmel-Clay Comprehensive Plan.

Mr. Nelson said they hope to conduct a public hear ing in November. 2h. Commission to consider Docket No. 68-87 P. V. , Plat Vacation request for a portion of Subdivision, located east of Pennsylvania St. , west of College , south of I-465 and north of 96th St. Petitioner requests the vacation of 316 lots of the 656 original platted lots. Site is zoned S-2 and is located in Clay Twp. Filed by Phillip Nicely, Attorney for Duke Realty Corp. Mr. Boone requested to abstain from voting on this matter. Mrs. Badger gave the Land Use Committee report (which is a part of the official minutes and attached to the master copy) . The committee recommended approval contingent upon the legal opinion obtained by Commission attorney, Gordon Byers, on the legality of vacation of a plat. Mr. Byers advised that the law is clear cut, Indiana Code 367311, and the Commission can vacate this plat if in fact the Commission makes certain statutory findings. Before the Commission can approve or deny the petition it must find: 1) that the conditions in the plat have changed so as to defeat the original purpose of the plat, 2) that it' s in the public interest to vacate all or part of the plat and 3) that the value of the part of the land in the plat not owned by the petitioner will not be diminished by vacation. Commission members must make written findings to support a negative vote. Plat vacation removes covenants, easements and streets, but does not re- move the underlying zoning. Mr. Albright noted for the record all correspondence received from the public , for or against this petition, and all letters are a part of the official minutes and attached to the master copy. Mr. Greg Silver, attorney in remonstrance representing Century Mortgage Co. of MO. , requested to address the Commission. Mr. Ayers moved to allow Mr. Silver to speak. Seconded by Mrs. McMullen. Motion carried. Mr. Silver made a presentation in opposition stating that it is illegal under Indiana Law to vacate this plat and that it will leave his client with 8 lots in a vacated plat. Mr. Silver stated that conditions have not changed in the area to justify vacating and that this land can be used as residential. Mr. Silver said the petitioner is taking for a private purpose without compen- sation to a private owner. Mr. Silver said this is unconstitutional and will be taken to the courts if this plat vacation is approved. Court cases were cited by Mr. Silver. Mr. Silver asked Mr. Nicely to withdraw his petition. Mr. Nicely, representing Duke Realty Corp. , made responding remarks. The plat was shown and Mr. Nicely stated that the request is based on Indiana Code 367311, based on findings of fact. Mr. Nicely stated that conditions have changed in the last 65 years in the area and the land cannot be developed as currently platted. I-465 bisects this land. It lies in transitional area F of the Comprehensive Plan for Carmel-Clay which is commercial development. Mr. Nicely said that it is in the public interest to vacate this plat as, if it were to be developed as presently platted, it would be an inferior development and would be inconsistent with the Comprehensive Plan. Mr. Nicely said it needs to be appropriately developed and the only way to do it is to vacate the plat. An appraisal letter from J,. irthitaker of the F.C. Tucker Co. was presented by Mr. Nicely for the record. This letter related that the value of these lots, CARMEL PLAIN COMMISSION MINUTES - SEPTEMBER 15, 1987 Page 3 14/ as isolated lots, is zero for residential use now and would only be enhanced by this development by Duke. Mr. Nicely requested approval of this petition to vacate the plat around the 8 parcels. Mr. Byers informed regarding the findings of fact and voting by Commission members, stating that if voting NO, the reason must be stated in writing. Mrs. Badger offered a revised motion as follows: "Because I-465 and U.S. 31 (Meridian St. ) have changed the surrounding land uses and have disturbed and divided this once quiet platted subdivision; because the present plat does not meet the standards of the current zoning ordinance; because the land not owned by Duke will not be diminished in value; because no development has taken place in 65 years as this land is now platted and because the under- lying zoning remains in place for protection, this committee feels a vacation of this plat is appropriate and that attorney, Phil Nicely, has addressed and proven in a positive manner the three criteria as set forth in the Indiana State Statutes, and I so move. " Seconded by Mr. Moore. Motion carried unanimously in favor of this revised motion. The Commission is only voting this evening on the Plat Vacation request. Findings of fact were completed by Commission members. The vote was 10 FOR, 0 AGAINST and 1 ABSTAINING (Mr. Boone) . Motion carried to vacate the plat. 3h.
