Keith Lash, Schneider Corporation, 12726 Hamilton Crossing, Carmel appeared before
the Committee representing the applicant. Jose Kreutz of Brenwick was also in
attendance. Approval is requested for a Secondary Plat for Moffitt Farm, Section 2B that
contains 25 lots on 13.85 acres.
Prairie View Development is located /centered around 131 Street and River Road; the
Moffitt Farm, Section 2B is in the western -most corner and is the last section of Moffitt
Farm. This project was reviewed by the TAC Committee; the only outstanding item
relates to a sidewalk. Mr. Lash explained that a variance was obtained for Moffitt 3A and
3B for the elimination of a sidewalk on the north side of Tall Timber Run. The original
plans called for the sidewalks on Mattock Chase to wrap around the cul -de -sac and end
approximately where the bike path and walk path meet. The DOCS and Engineering
Department asked that the walk be extended to the stubstreet coming out of the Centex
Development and this has been done.
Jose Kreutz said that the petitioner had appeared in November 1996 to seek approval of
the first piece of Moffitt Farm and at that time, requested a variance to Not install the
sidewalk because of a tree row that exists along the northern portion. A fence has been
installed along the boundary line, within one foot of the property. At that time, the
petitioner suggested that they be allowed to forego the installation of a sidewalk for two
reasons —there are no lots fronting, and there is a 8 -foot deep ditch that runs on one side
of the Centex ground and crossing it by foot is almost impossible. There was no need
seen to install a sidewalk that would wrap around and go no place; the installation of a
sidewalk would also necessitate the removal of the trees.
There will be a sidewalk on the south side of the street and those lots are currently for
sale. As each lot develops, each developer will install and connect the sidewalk. In
addition to the 9 -foot wide asphalt bike path, all interior streets in Prairie View have
sidewalks.
Norma Meighen moved for approval of Docket No. 16 -99 SP, secondary plat application,
for Brenwick Development Company, subject to the variance being granted by the BZA,
seconded by Leo Dierckman and APPROVED unanimously.
There was no further business and the meeting adjourned at 7:40 PM.
