Minutes from the March 7 and March 28, 2005, meetings were distributed.  Mayor Mitch Suggs moved the minutes be approved; seconded by Marilyn Dafler; motion carried.

Bill Bliss, Zoning Inspector, distributed copies of his reports for March and April.

Jim Robbins reported a house is going to be built by the lift station on Stotler Road and presented a description of the house.  An easement on the property is needed for maintenance of the lift station and a zoning application is needed for the plot plan.

Chris Day reported that Kramer & Associates have assessed the water problem on the building lots on Robbins Way.  Their elevation of the collection of the water that results in heavy rainfall can be improved by elevating the lots so that water can get from point A to point B.  Mr. Robbins currently has these lots for sell.

Dennis Brubaker was present to discuss the building of a new garage on his property at 48 East Dayton Street.  There is concern about the property line, and Mr. Brubaker will do further research on this issue.

Claudia Hurst an employee of D&D RV & Auto Sales located at 3376 US 35 requested a  variance to place a sign on the split-rail fence at Barney's Dairy Bar located at the southwest corner of US 35 & St. Rte. 503.  The owner of the dairy bar has given his approval for this 2 x 3 size, high grade, dark green vinyl sign.  This was tabled until the next meeting.

Rick Webster of 17 Dewey Street presented his request for a variance for an alley right-of-way for a carport on his property.  The alley right-of-way is 10 foot off the home owners property and to install this carport Mr. Webster needs additional footage.  After discussion, it was decided that the Planning Commission members will make a site visit before decision is given.

With no further business, Mayor Mitch Suggs moved for adjournment, seconded by Marilyn Dafler.

Respectfully submitted,


Marilyn Dafler
