Zents said the previous owner assigned the same street number (10100 West 90th Avenue) to two separate parcels; Zents asked the commission to renumber his parcel to 10096 to avoid conflicts.

Planning staff explained the history: the neighboring house uses 10090 West 90th Avenue, and the duplicate 10100 number dates to lot mapping in the 1980s–1990s. Ashley Abernathy told the commission that state statute authorizes the Plan Commission to assign and renumber street numbers and cited IC 36‑7‑4‑45(b) as the relevant authority. Staff said the petition will require a public action at the commission’s March meeting.

Why it matters: Duplicate addresses can cause confusion for emergency response, postal delivery and permitting; rezoning or address changes are administrative but affect public safety and services.

Next steps: The petition will be placed on the March agenda for public action; Zents will return to the commission for that hearing.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Plan Commission Study Session - March 5, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","An applicant requested the Plan Commission reassign a street number from 10100 to 10096 West 90th Avenue to correct a duplicate address created when adjacent parcels were assigned the same number; staff cited Indiana Code IC 36‑7‑4‑45(b) as the authority for the commission’s action.","taxTitle","St John Town, Lake County, Indiana","taxId",52278,"location","Indiana","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6295937,"Plan Commission reviews rezoning request for 40-acre Heartland Park expansion and amphitheater",52,736000,788000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2518974-48e4c3dd3c489daeed45ae78f8a205a0&start=736&end=788","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2518974-48e4c3dd3c489daeed45ae78f8a205a0/thumbnail_736000.jpg","/articles/6295937/Indiana/Plan-Commission-reviews-rezoning-request-for-40-acre-Heartland-Park-expansion-and-amphitheater","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6295937-2b2d650128139fd0dbfc4ede2756b399/orig.mp4?Expires=1775336017&Signature=AdHb5AKhKUnA96inmMfkqS9SpD4DIXcm46PIriUMkHmXzZkR6ieFLSpBVqDkHGBxXo8mHz50B9~MlZFmBumBmscVqViRGQdqprNtt47GPkwuaKmF6rLpU-GngNvzOiRwbp73mqHQUU1chVB8Rs~Ky6No3WBLGWWKwJO5~SLQfpN2vyYKJqZzZv23874z7nwfCavz7jFz1f0ZbETN0OdF22TMJWqmhh5pLF6aLJZreZDR8105vhqOkZfNQM2ZJIcc5dWENaC7tgF-SVVmKp36gpgse~gXsD1S7K~p8W8hjzvvnZnMUJWk689l0mSqB2WSS-5utrBYLVnDegZ4ALau1g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Plan Commission on March 5 considered a petition to rezone about 40 acres for a proposed Heartland Park expansion to include a public park, amphitheater and splash pad. Ashley Abernathy, planning staff, described the request as a rezone from RC‑2 PUD to the town’s public zoning district to bring the parcel into the same classification as other town park parcels.

Abernathy said the parcel is intended for a proposed amphitheater and splash pad and that the Town Council supports moving the project forward. The rezoning would align this 40‑acre parcel’s zoning with other town‑owned park parcels and is a preliminary step before more detailed design and permitting work.

Why it matters: Reclassification to a public district is a prerequisite to siting facilities that are town‑owned and operated; it affects future site plans, public‑use rules and capital planning.

Next steps: The rezoning petition will proceed through the commission’s rezoning review process; staff did not report a formal vote at the study session.","Planning staff presented a rezoning petition to reclassify roughly 40 acres from RC‑2 PUD to a public zoning district to allow a park, amphitheater and splash pad; the Town Council supports the project and the item will proceed through the standard rezoning process.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":42,"_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":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6295941,"Plan commission reviews site plan to convert former Kmart site at 9548 Wicker Avenue into a Jewel Osco",487000,620000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2518974-48e4c3dd3c489daeed45ae78f8a205a0&start=487&end=620","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2518974-48e4c3dd3c489daeed45ae78f8a205a0/thumbnail_487000.jpg","/articles/6295941/Indiana/Plan-commission-reviews-site-plan-to-convert-former-Kmart-site-at-9548-Wicker-Avenue-into-a-Jewel-Osco","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6295941-e9c1c32367d0623c249eb19d03c8eb46/orig.mp4?Expires=1775336017&Signature=Q4A86i6V~bzjcEKFOOyFr98nNS-oNDu6rxcO9N9qz9hC1iWX7ta5si3nCn3gqdxwHz0S-rN0lvQPyarAh40~aDO-hjPBVyzLufVLFhV3WJJvmTFnyf15yvR-YVdlbExKYzY-5IVmds2RVNebezBs30rDSreNp~9UBbL5xGXVVFUYVhEHKJIy7-coY22RPcKBYmfSO0vuHfikRv4EuqZHY4jY0DO9RlbRrflo~GwLDPjidSSb593V5yhWWfQhnyq71CTb1OOvYJp5q~8NCCsRPiR6el5hCBYYfMt~rTR~iiuCPB27kutrG-gcz-id51roYYL8LV-~f4iCjh8NEJejtQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Town of St. John Plan Commission on March 5 reviewed a proposed site plan to repurpose the former Kmart at 9548 Wicker Avenue into a new Jewel Osco grocery store, roughly 70,000 square feet, with a pharmacy drive‑through and reconfigured parking.

Ashley Abernathy, planning staff, said the submission follows a conceptual presentation made the previous month and that full plans had been filed. She described the project as “the former Kmart building site that is going to be repurposed into a brand new Jewel Osco that is going to be approximately 70,000 square feet, more or less,” with removal of an old greenhouse area and the addition of a drive‑through pharmacy lane.

Brian Davis (petitioner/representative on the record) confirmed staff’s summary. Adam McAlpine, the Town’s review engineer, said he is coordinating with the project engineer and has begun review but had not issued written comments. McAlpine said there is a lighting plan to be submitted and that lights will be placed in every other parking island. He asked the applicant to provide calculations to verify the existing storm‑sewer system can handle current rain events; the applicant will tie into the existing on‑site storm system and the site does not include a new detention basin. McAlpine noted that “it becomes an 18 inches at the northern end of the site,” flagging localized ponding that the engineer wants evaluated.

Why it matters: Redevelopment of an existing retail site affects traffic patterns, stormwater infrastructure and lighting for neighboring properties. The engineer’s request for capacity calculations and the lack of on‑site detention mean the stormwater review is an outstanding technical issue before final approval.

Next steps: engineering review is ongoing; McAlpine said he has no written comments yet and staff will continue review before the item returns to the commission for a formal hearing and action.","Petitioner presented a site plan to redevelop the former Kmart at 9548 Wicker Avenue into an approximately 70,000‑square‑foot Jewel Osco.

Keogh said the project was “the subject of an annexation into the community and the subject of EDA 4, Economic Development Area 4,” and that a development agreement and ordinance previously approved by the Town Council set unit counts, setbacks and other standards. He said design work has proceeded for about six months and that the materials before the commission show the overall lot layout for the subdivision.

Keogh described a phased buildout: Phase 1 (single‑family cottage homes) of about 71 units; Phase 3 of about 62 units; and Phase 2 consisting of townhomes and an additional set of units (transcript indicated one Phase 2 component of about 12 units and another labeled “134” units). He said phases 1 and 3 are planned as age‑restricted homes similar to product already built in Orchard and Sterling Gate, and that Ron McFarland is expected to build the Phase 1 cottages.

Keogh and commission staff said the phasing line on the plan must be adjusted to match allocations established in EDA 4’s residential TIF district. Keogh also noted that a NIPSCO parcel’s zoning as shown on the preliminary plans needs correction to reflect the annexation materials. Commission staff said those and other technical changes will be made before the primary public hearing.

Ashley Abernathy, planning staff, confirmed materials including the annexation ordinance and development agreement were on file for staff review. Keogh said the applicant does not expect a public hearing in March and plans to return for the April study session and subsequent hearings.

Why it matters: The subdivision was previously approved through an annexation and an economic development designation that constrain phasing and unit allocations; changes to the plan or phasing could affect tax increment financing allocations and the scope of age‑restricted housing in town.

The Plan Commission will continue technical review and will schedule the primary public hearing in April, at which time the commission will consider conformance with the annexation agreement and the town’s ordinances.","LBL Development presented preliminary site plans for Gates of St. John Units 32–40, a multi‑phase, age‑restricted and townhome subdivision previously annexed under Economic Development Area 4.
