City planning staff told the council the parcels were annexed on May 8 and must be assigned a city zone class before development can proceed. Tim Stein (city planning staff) said the land is currently farm ground and that the petitioner, Double M Properties LLC, seeks the I-1 zone to match the adjoining Unified property. Staff recommended I-1 because the parcels adjoin an existing light-industrial use and would be suitable for expansion and parking.

At the hearing, Mike Austin, attorney for the petitioner, said the added land would be used primarily for parking to support an expansion of Unified Group Services. Andrew Eller, CFO of Unified Group Services, said the company currently employs about 190 people and is \"looking to add another 110 employees.\" The planning commission had voted unanimously in favor of the rezoning, and the council recorded unanimous votes to advance the ordinance through its first and second readings.

No third-reading vote was recorded in the meeting; staff and the petitioner said the zoning would allow the employer to add parking in support of planned growth. The council did not record any amendments or public opposition during the readings.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Anderson City Council Meeting - 06-12-2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Common Council on June 12 advanced Ordinance 14-25, assigning I-1 (light industrial) zoning to 4.81 acres annexed from Madison County behind the Unified Group Services building; the change is intended to allow parking and to support a planned expansion that could add about 110 employees.","taxTitle","Anderson City, Madison County, Indiana","taxId",65228,"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},6160692,"Council directs staff to finalize 'Complete Streets' ordinance draft after special meeting review",215,921000,1136000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5449437-905a6900c2111f3633084d0c1ebb37bc&start=921&end=1136","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5449437-905a6900c2111f3633084d0c1ebb37bc/thumbnail_921000.jpg","/articles/6160692/Anderson-City/Madison-County/Indiana/Council-directs-staff-to-finalize-Complete-Streets-ordinance-draft-after-special-meeting-review","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6160692-0cfc12c6c46386113eef374b8634349b/orig.mp4?Expires=1770900863&Signature=NRPFs8G9gV0keXl~x-EnQlrTnZo40gFNR5thz5UN2~N4Sz~ivoKsAaehnW7i703hVQ2eBYCBa7IgjzMBF9qC-1a3S5OYIhzcCdOVw1vvV8-k2zYyhVEVNurYbY3k8Gota-pbPMhvsO-AIDIS1mGovIvfxGLzgF2AP0ltXmsLxEuDx4-JQBqHftwhkfrXDCwI8LEG5FrDaC5StVQEeCMniGbUWsP3Q9p9AF3AOCJoydJfquHbXBAiID6tMMpKnCPrK8PhgZu1HgCgpxfmMmDEPnleDtM9xRZtIMUCQ87bg-9jfIPT0BX-HF2QPTeVr5W-FzXqXUmZsqUwD5v9qDaOWg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","At the June 12 Anderson City Common Council meeting, councilors discussed the \"Complete Streets\" concept and directed staff to deliver a draft ordinance for council review next month.

Paul, a city staff member involved in drafting, said the Complete Streets approach treats every street project as an opportunity to consider sidewalks, crosswalks and bike lanes by default and requires that omissions be justified. He told the council, \"The Complete Streets takes the approach of approach every project thinking you're going to put these things in or include these things, and then, if you're not going to include those, that there'd be a reason for that.\" Paul said some earlier language presented to the council used repeated mandatory terms such as \"shall\" and created hurdles and cost implications that the drafters are revising.

Councilors, including those who attended a special meeting, asked staff to compare the proposed ordinance with the county's resolution and to return a draft with enough time for review before a council vote. Paul said he would have a draft ready for the next month’s meeting and that he and Matt (the city engineer) were coordinating on the language. The council emphasized they wanted time to compare the county model and to consider whether the ordinance needs stronger enforcement language or should remain a looser framework.

No formal vote was taken; councilors instructed staff to complete the draft and circulate it to key reviewers, including MCOG and council members, before reintroducing it.","Councilors discussed a 'Complete Streets' framework at a June 12 special meeting and asked city staff to prepare a draft ordinance for review next month, using the county’s model as a starting point and avoiding overly prescriptive language that would increase costs.",{"_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},6160697,"Anderson council approves two residential abatements for new single-family projects",390,1593000,1983000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5449437-905a6900c2111f3633084d0c1ebb37bc&start=1593&end=1983","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5449437-905a6900c2111f3633084d0c1ebb37bc/thumbnail_1593000.jpg","/articles/6160697/Anderson-City/Madison-County/Indiana/Anderson-council-approves-two-residential-abatements-for-new-single-family-projects","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6160697-62d9807cbea6d1fbe3fa6fe995e6765c/orig.mp4?Expires=1770900863&Signature=DInXy8js1EdeXOjytVrU~0eZjo5xVrpxcSRikGnUJd1Go4E2CFKw4r8h4Z~8zyz3cr-qyOl04MrRBiJLfPbs69PWG0ZJKLDIzr4tqqo57h7zrNpFu5qNhBNuqzYjIDDlda7UyfuQaiX5lEeWXQyEOx97BpQDwXfebodBK9-J0qLZtDVe33i~gBTWt9nWcyP~2Ca2Rfh1so4jH~5EnaqlsdXUuekeBkBJ5FFNO6y~8SZ8ZaVkT3wzSF~acf-XkZIYQkvLssPekiM0kybMqoC4mz3uKebmlz7DNijns9lpSe3tQMv2iZ5UahtDR7V2~xvJ4qnTxQgT5G3LDNuPh8lzJA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Anderson City Common Council on June 12 approved two ordinances designating economic development target areas for single-family construction projects, advancing both measures through three readings and suspending rules to allow final votes the same night.

Ordinance 11-25 designates a residential abatement for Matthew Murray’s new single-family home planned at 3302 Waterway Boulevard in the Clearwater Addition, Lot 22. City staff described the estimated construction cost as $508,420 and said the project “does not constitute infill housing, so it is a 3 year abatement.”

Ordinance 12-25 designates a six-year abatement for Prestige Enterprises 3 17 LLC for a single-family infill residence at 3220 Marine Drive, with an estimated construction cost of $120,000. Applicant Jerry Steele described the planned house as “3 bedroom, 2 bath, 2 car garage” and said he expects to do much of the work himself to keep costs down.

Both ordinances passed unanimous roll-call votes at third reading and \"await the signature of the mayor and the president,\" according to the council president. No amendments were recorded on the floor and no public opposition was recorded at the hearings. Councilors who were recorded voting \"Yes\" on the final readings included Councilors Turner, Dixon, Freeman, Colt/Cole, Landers, Graham, Newman and President Stevenson (each named during the roll calls).","On June 12 the Anderson City Common Council passed ordinances creating economic development target areas for a new single-family residence at 3302 Waterway Boulevard (three-year abatement) and for a single-family infill project at 3220 Marine Drive (six-year abatement).

The dispute centers on whether the pond — built to retain runoff from the school’s fields and surrounding development — is large enough. A council member reported that the school district “said no. They've got their own survey saying the retention pond is just fine.” A resident who described repeated flooding and personal property impacts told the council, “They're not gonna do it. We will we will write an ordinance. We will pull 6,400 out of whatever budget we can to pay for this survey. I guess we cannot do that.”

The estimated cost of the independent survey discussed at the meeting was $6,400. Councilors said they cannot reallocate city funds by ordinance and that any city payment would need to come from the administration. A council member outlined two options raised at the meeting: request that the mayor allocate funds during the August budget process, or pursue private fundraising such as a GoFundMe page to pay for the survey now.

Speakers and residents at the meeting also raised that the drainage issue overlaps jurisdictions: school property, county-owned athletic fields and city neighborhoods all route water toward the retention pond. One councilor warned the dispute would likely involve “finger pointing” among the school, county and city if the independent survey shows the pond is undersized.

No formal motion or vote to fund the survey was recorded; councilors said they would pursue further conversations with the mayor and other council members and attempt to identify funding. The council described the next fiscal-budget opportunity to seek funding as in August.

The discussion included detailed first-hand accounts of flooded yards and a resident saying neighbors had begun buying flood insurance or seeing falling property conditions. Councilors and staff said they would follow up with the mayor’s office and the city engineer to determine next steps and funding options.","At the June 12 Anderson City Common Council meeting, residents and councilors discussed repeated flooding tied to the Shady Run Creek retention pond at Eastside and asked the city to fund an independent survey after the school system declined to pay an estimated $6,400.","actionData","errors"]
