Staff said the 98.6-acre former quarry site on North Packinghouse Road includes a 27.5-acre portion where mass grading and fill activities are allowed under a previously recorded outline plan amendment. That recorded written commitment requires testing of fill material, submission of geotechnical reports and quarterly testing of surface water when a stormwater grading permit is active. The recorded commitment also requires that karst features not be filled and that a 50-foot sinkhole conservancy area be retained.

The commission approved the development plan with two conditions: (1) the petitioner must use stormwater grading permit SW-25-7 to upload required documentation during fill operations per the recorded commitment (I NST2024012456); and (2) update the Karst Conservancy areas on the development plan to reflect the 50-foot requirement per the recorded written commitment. The motion carried 9–0.

Daniel Butler, a registered professional engineer with Bynum Fannieu and Associates representing the petitioner, said the team had worked with historical preservation, drainage board, stormwater and geotechnical consultants and intended to follow the conditions. “We want this to be done right,” Butler said, noting ongoing testing and monitoring are built into the project approach.

Staff noted that drainage board and stormwater program reviews found the filing and grading permit met current stormwater requirements, and that the project may return to drainage board for follow-up if site conditions change during fill operations. The highway department’s temporary construction driveway permits and ingress/egress controls remain pending as standard right-of-way approvals.

The approval allows the petitioner to proceed under the conditions; staff advised the commission that quarterly testing and stormwater permit reporting will continue for the duration of active fill operations and that stormwater staff should be contacted when spring box installation occurs to allow on-site inspection.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Monroe County Plan Commission, June 17, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Plan Commission approved PUD-25-1 (North Park 2) with a waiver of final hearing and two conditions requiring use of a stormwater grading permit for ongoing testing and updating karst conservancy areas to a 50-foot buffer found in the recorded written commitment.","taxTitle","Monroe County, Indiana","taxId",3534,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6191234,"Plan Commission continues Holland Fields subdivision hearings as developers, county staff seek agreement on sidewalk, driveway fixes",469,1115000,1584000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=4937889-b3525958d8adfa39801bee65b2b53cbb&start=1115&end=1584","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/4937889-b3525958d8adfa39801bee65b2b53cbb/thumbnail_1115000.jpg","/articles/6191234/Monroe-County/Indiana/Plan-Commission-continues-Holland-Fields-subdivision-hearings-as-developers-county-staff-seek-agreement-on-sidewalk-driveway-fixes","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6191234-9f38aa4a9a2452e95b2b14c3b5094977/orig.mp4?Expires=1770728954&Signature=VqFLQi1Vw8B2ivMuHue9IBp1Lqa56J1z5~G6qDb-AlEwUGWAbyTn127TrizVBgl6wdBD7J8wRgbvKkaaFi3o8sHei7XHWs6UIxOSJ50O2zaz2yQkxmX6sBqpZKt3BpTRIxW2nyF5csTuJ8UVoFOyQmlE4SSbj10hafKnQig8zasm-ozurDuKAHM8QzvhCXrtX2srPXBKmEIeIEBD7HshkIK2ZuA95jOfLseHW-4veEpv3YeDAp0JSRuU9NF5RtycVB9WYHMAnxVvvakEH9XBeSwuR-w2Y3ySyPhufqyXNXruEmTgqsoL1QeQPP4k~T8hlNAkfZK9O6lNNKvNcf54jA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Monroe County Plan Commission on June 17 unanimously continued two Holland Fields subdivision items — the Phase 2 performance-period extension (SIA-22-7) to Sept. 25, 2025, and the Phase 1 performance-period extension (SIA-22-9) to Aug. 19, 2025 — while county staff and developers resolve infrastructure deficiencies and allocation of costs for sidewalk and driveway corrections.

Staff told the commission that the developer for Holland Fields has submitted as-built drawings to the highway department for review; staff’s recommendation was to join the performance-period extension and any proposed reduction request for Phase 2 at the Sept. 25 hearing so the highway department can review installed infrastructure and updated cost estimates.

“After review, that a reduction would be possible,” planning staff said, noting only one lot remains under the Holland Fields developer’s ownership and that the county expects to consider Phase 3 in September. The commission voted 9–0 to continue SIA-22-7 to Sept. 25, 2025.

Phase 1 (SIA-22-9) is more complicated because the needed intersection and sidewalk corrections at South Walnut Street Pike and East Holland Drive involve a separate nearby project called Holland 3 Lot Minor. Planning staff told commissioners the two developers have been unable to agree who is responsible for required infrastructure including the East Holland Drive sidewalk, two driveway corrections within the three-lot parcel, a possible retaining wall, utility corrections and curb-and-gutter work into South Walnut Street Pike.

Staff reported the Holland 3 Lot Minor developer signed a subdivision improvement agreement on the day of the meeting committing to complete their improvements by June 30, 2026, although that developer had missed an earlier requirement deadline of May 30. Planning staff said the Holland Fields developer did not want to be solely responsible for the full cost of correcting the deficiencies and that sharing of cost estimates between the two developers has been delayed until responsibility is agreed.

Larry Allen, representing the Holland Fields phase developer, said the parties have made progress and that meetings among the developers and with highway staff are planned. “We really do have to kind of take these together and try to work together to come to a solution,” Allen told the commission.

Commissioners acknowledged the extra staff time the issue has consumed and expressed differing views on timelines. Commissioner David Bush called the proposed schedule “very generous,” while Commissioner Jeff Morris urged limiting extended continuances because of the burden on planning and highway staff. Commissioner Enright Randolph moved to continue SIA-22-7 to Sept. 25, 2025; the motion carried 9–0. Commissioner Morris moved to continue SIA-22-9 to Aug. 19, 2025; that motion also carried 9–0.

The continuances place both items back on the commission’s calendar to allow final engineering reviews, updated cost estimates and any requested amendments to be considered together.","The commission voted unanimously to continue two Holland Fields subdivision items while county staff and developers work on as-built reviews, cost allocations and coordination with an adjoining three-lot subdivision developer.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6191238,"Monroe County Plan Commission weighs tighter hearing rules as CDO amendment work continues",834,320000,1154000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=4937889-b3525958d8adfa39801bee65b2b53cbb&start=320&end=1154","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/4937889-b3525958d8adfa39801bee65b2b53cbb/thumbnail_320000.jpg","/articles/6191238/Monroe-County/Indiana/Monroe-County-Plan-Commission-weighs-tighter-hearing-rules-as-CDO-amendment-work-continues","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6191238-7c048ff8e312a62323450875c967cb43/orig.mp4?Expires=1770728954&Signature=BLeOcjzlPERRQQgFGZUrlnOLhU1YdVSSZ05aV2~56RoT6WzS3UcntF-k9V~nJwRxiaVqdZnYQUSEmu4p79Tvp3KJlAVC6YSGFVRT9IoQrgqDPE45oaETolXzK1dzI1ouU-1L1z8b28VwlM7-9WgKileOR3Hx4f1RPuF3r8DgDe39LNOu39vZtfraMsKGlnUxKa6v6d0pIbJMIDe0jyfIqr9-qUvl6FVG3VnnEu4G79CqWypA6kIRI8sjSZp-GzJG4OhQQ6BlHbzvEdTWTZ87zpKBjSrYJzTaXO~9ciSQcewBQuzFIY~UZ8WK5tzRf7CLjLZQ5aL9YmOLGl97oAuUiQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Monroe County Plan Commission members on June 17 discussed possible changes to Article 10 of the Plan Commission rules of procedure to clarify the conduct of hearings and reduce crosstalk, and were told staff will bring a red-line draft to the commission's July 1 administrative meeting for consideration.

The discussion matters because commissioners and staff said occasional hybrid-meeting interruptions and overlapping comments have left some members feeling they did not have a full opportunity to speak before a motion was called. Jackie, a Monroe County planning staff member, told the commission she could “add something in here such as plan commission comments and then close that section, move on to plan commission motions, close that section. If there is need for debate, we could do that and then we can move to a vote.”

Several commissioners urged caution about adding formal steps that could stifle discussion. “I think that all Plan Commission members should have the opportunity to speak before a motion is made,” said Commissioner Jeff Morris, urging the chair to ensure members are recognized before motions. John Enright Randolph said spacing discussion and motions would “appreciate everyone's time and effort into the deliberation,” while Colonel Scott Ferris cautioned that separating “comments” and a separate “debate” step could produce redundant loops and extended discussion.

Commissioner Julie Thomas said the administrative meeting format is a different forum for free discussion and warned against over-rigid rules. Commissioner David Henry said procedural rules can serve as a referee that protects speech and ensures all voices are heard, particularly on more contentious items.

Staff reported progress on the Monroe County Development Ordinance (CDO) amendment prioritization list and directed members to monroecdo.com and the SharePoint folder for details. Jackie said she added ordinance numbers and language clarifying when items are “complete or substantially complete,” and noted items numbered 2, 7 and 13 have been recently addressed with text amendments. The ordinance review committee will continue to evaluate priorities and bring text amendments to the full commission as appropriate.

The commission did not adopt any rule changes on June 17; staff will prepare a red-line amendment for the July 1 administrative meeting that will outline options for (a) explicitly requiring that all commissioners be recognized for comment before a motion is called, and (b) providing an optional, structured debate phase after a motion if the commission chooses to allow it.","Commissioners debated whether to codify a separate 'debate' step in Article 10 of the Plan Commission rules of procedure and were told staff will return a red-line draft; staff also updated the public on progress to prioritize text amendments to the Monroe County Development Ordinance.","actionData","errors"]
