Building commissioner Kenneth Seals told the commission that his office had reissued the notice after correcting a prior service error and that he had received communications from the out-of-state owner indicating the owner was soliciting demolition bids. \"The owner does not have a registered agent or a owner's rep for the property out here,\" Seals said, adding that he had been in contact with the owner in California and that the owner \"has solicited bids by demolition companies and he's waiting for third. As soon as that comes through, he's gonna make a decision on which company to go with and he will... take the permits and have the property... demolished\".

Seals said the city had recorded the order with Johnson County and recommended an enforcement schedule: 10 days after affirmation to obtain a demolition permit and 30 days after that to complete demolition, subject to verification of reasonable progress.

Motion and outcome: Commissioner Stambaugh moved to find the property unsafe and to order demolition in accordance with the building commissioner’s order (JGJ Property LLC to abate by demolishing structures and clearing the lots within the time frame); Commissioner Price seconded. The commission voted 8-0 to affirm the order. The commission also directed the city attorney to prepare written findings of fact and an order incorporating evidence submitted into the record and authorized the president to sign the findings.

Why it matters: The property has an ongoing record of police reports and nuisance complaints and presents liability and safety concerns. Commissioners requested documentation demonstrating demolition progress; staff said the city can record liens and pursue available state funds or administrative remedies if the owner fails to act.

Next steps: The owner will have 10 days after the commission’s affirmed order to pull demolition permits and 30 days thereafter to complete demolition, subject to monitoring for reasonable progress. If the owner fails to comply, staff indicated the city has mechanisms to recover costs and record liens.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Plan Commission Meeting 04-14-2025","oneSentenceSummary","After confirming proper notice, the commission affirmed the building commissioner’s demolition order for the property at 1761 East Main Street and authorized preparation of findings of fact; the owner has been given a timeline to obtain permits and begin demolition.","taxTitle","Greenwood, Johnson County, Indiana","taxId",4102,"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},6271925,"Planning commission OKs Valvoline landscape waiver to accommodate narrow corner lot design",581,2919000,3500000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3028425-7430f2971fe37dd1542410844158e395&start=2919&end=3500","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3028425-7430f2971fe37dd1542410844158e395/thumbnail_2919000.jpg","/articles/6271925/Greenwood/Johnson-County/Indiana/Planning-commission-OKs-Valvoline-landscape-waiver-to-accommodate-narrow-corner-lot-design","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6271925-0680dd026c2e59ab77f3f7b4bd4ecad0/orig.mp4?Expires=1770450806&Signature=NQNXPvx8y03s4N28n7EbU~5Ye~-ordaeEKYhLjYfo23A~iS7r-JgURO6aD-zYUzzdMDI69CtlkjwFkXR5RW0JTqrjthIi4cAe8WK-olm1c3TKfVsnxYPa7QT1M-stFLVYOiiV3AyK1WykQfdDFofflvHLKKXoUTw8wI65IGgzodOIPjQBkZwJo-RkDp~IrGXsxGFd4~3m8~BVe4nWAEPbeTt1lC2R2Sv1BqN9~nMucxsUCxiC6xb9G9E5GkrwbAOIsMGpnJA4Q-VMGsfq5aYlHGLIVfxMfXKxWBraQ94SFhEMlBs0mj4T1PTSy0HaI2P4tzIrcL1keG1ObmVc3xQug__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Greenwood Advisory Planning Commission on Monday approved a landscape waiver for a Valvoline Instant Oil Change site at the southeast corner of U.S. 31 and East Worthsville Road that allows required foundation plantings to be relocated elsewhere on the property.

The petitioner requested relief from the Unified Development Ordinance’s foundation-planting requirement for buildings facing roadways because the narrow site, oil-delivery operations and an existing BP easement limit where plantings can be installed. The commission approved the waiver subject to the condition that the required foundation plantings be relocated in their entirety elsewhere on site and that Greenwood staff approve final locations.

Why it matters: The change permits the site operator to maintain safe, operational truck access for oil deliveries while ensuring landscaping requirements are met somewhere on the parcel. Staff recommended approval, saying the relocation would still meet the ordinance’s intent.

What was said: Mike Mihalyk, the petitioner’s design consultant, said the narrow site and an oil-access hose used for deliveries made placement of foundation plantings close to the building impractical. \"The truck will actually pick the oil the used oil up out of a hose here. So the closer they can be to the building, the easier it is for them to do that,\" Mihalyk said, explaining the operational constraint. Planning staff indicated support for the relocation as long as all required plantings are provided elsewhere on site.

Motion and outcome: Commissioner King moved approval of the waiver as requested and described; Commissioner Billborn seconded. The commission voted 8-0 in favor.

Next steps: The petitioner must show revised planting locations to Greenwood staff for final approval prior to permit issuance.","The commission granted a waiver allowing required foundation plantings for a new Valvoline site to be relocated elsewhere on the site because existing easements and site constraints make the standard 10-foot planting strip impractical; motion carried 8-0.",{"_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},6271930,"Commissioners send Davis Homes commitments back for engineering review, continue hearing to June 9",3334,1896000,5230000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3028425-7430f2971fe37dd1542410844158e395&start=1896&end=5230","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3028425-7430f2971fe37dd1542410844158e395/thumbnail_1896000.jpg","/articles/6271930/Greenwood/Johnson-County/Indiana/Commissioners-send-Davis-Homes-commitments-back-for-engineering-review-continue-hearing-to-June-9","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6271930-84b501823818b59d0cbeed6accc1e0cd/orig.mp4?Expires=1770450806&Signature=Cxm44roJa8uh4IpxgPsBdVsEvW5SYI1YeDvvrg46gDRsd71EITQ9hIWcxrldJp8tvhsj-ZDUZ1Ae4p93L1F7vorUKePgLOnJFDPARdYUkMkMNtDtyOcdkrLGvNt4Z1f8SQ7oa1R0raGGO4l2Malt8I1GtWMJE9Byuo9upVSMzNEwPjbC~Ip1owJ9nyiM68tI1NFS3odPqfhnWY3JmRNfcOBsO3iw1bLKHVmtOM3CMk0vjg~jqT8BQh~OB1aKasAKDDIlg8JIjSQCAPJbPhAc5IdiZqgjm~bp2jqEfeylZmYYNMgoKS1rXxvsqGhO1vu08WUuQBkODJs3P2~Sf~a-KQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Greenwood Advisory Planning Commission on Monday reopened the public hearing for PC2025-007, a Davis Homes annexation and commitments petition, to resolve a dispute over whether the developer must rebuild Combs Road across a roughly 300-foot stretch south of the development that the developer does not own.

The commission voted to continue the matter to June 9 to allow city, county and private engineers to meet, develop options for addressing the 300-foot gap and provide drawings showing what could be built within the existing right-of-way.

Why it matters: The contested commitment affects whether the developer must acquire adjacent private property or negotiate temporary construction easements to build a safer, wider roadway and pedestrian facilities. Commissioners and staff cited safety concerns at a nearby hill and the potential for increased vehicle and pedestrian traffic if the subdivision proceeds without off-site road improvements.

What was argued: Attorney for the petitioner described three prior commitments tied to the land; two had been previously clarified and approved, and the current dispute centers on paragraph 1(b), which the petitioner says should be read to require improvements only \"property-line to property-line\" on Davis Homes’ frontage. The petitioner said prior developer Dale Davis did not intend for the developer to reconstruct road segments in the county that the developer does not control: \"We can't do work there. We have no right to,\" the petitioner said when explaining the developer's position.

The petitioner said his client made cash offers to adjacent property owners—\"The cash offer was $60,000 per rate across the board,\" according to Paul Carroll, who represented the petitioner on offers to acquire ground—and those offers were rejected. The petitioner said the county would allow work in its narrow right-of-way but would not sell or convey additional land, leaving the developer unable to widen the roadway without county or adjacent-owner cooperation.

Planning staff and commissioners described site constraints including a 30-foot existing right-of-way and an old pipeline easement/fiber line running through the northern parcel that limit placement of sidewalks and trail elements. Staff proposed amended commitment language that would require the developer to work collaboratively with Johnson County and adjacent property owners to produce a detailed plan for the 300-foot gap, to hold a meeting with Greenwood and Johnson County, and to construct right-of-way improvements as part of the proposed development contingent on receiving county consent; staff also said the amendment would expire if adjacent properties were later annexed into Greenwood.

Safety and funding questions: Commissioners repeatedly raised safety concerns about sight lines over the hill on Combs Road and sought clarity on who would pay for off-site improvements if needed. City staff and county representatives said collaborative engineering work would identify feasible options; staff estimated it would take roughly 60 days to produce fieldwork and engineering options.

Motion and outcome: The commission voted to continue the item to June 9 to allow the three engineering entities (city, county and petitioner’s engineer) to develop options and meet. The motion to continue was moved by Commissioner Stambaugh and seconded by Commissioner Probst; the motion carried 8-0.

Next steps: Staff requested the petitioner provide engineering options and existing-condition surveys, and for the city and Johnson County to meet with the petitioner’s engineer to determine whether road and pedestrian improvements can be built within the existing right-of-way or would require temporary construction easements or property acquisition.","The commission reopened public hearing on Davis Homes' proposed annexation and commitments, debated a disputed commitment requiring Combs Road improvements across a 300-foot gap, and voted to continue the item to June 9 for engineering work and county coordination.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6271934,"Greenwood planners approve waiver allowing pedestrian connection instead of vehicular link for Leatherwood Trail development",1785,128000,1913000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3028425-7430f2971fe37dd1542410844158e395&start=128&end=1913","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3028425-7430f2971fe37dd1542410844158e395/thumbnail_128000.jpg","/articles/6271934/Greenwood/Johnson-County/Indiana/Greenwood-planners-approve-waiver-allowing-pedestrian-connection-instead-of-vehicular-link-for-Leatherwood-Trail-development","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6271934-081f8aa661eca16cca5906069ebbff91/orig.mp4?Expires=1770450806&Signature=cS7M31zrgNVCGv61ymvEPmOWhf2LRLbjJKNEvFA41mVu19IIp3qR6W2FrrUhc2e0UsoVX6ie7nJW8I9OVlsCJZjVRNAtRZ7Lky2nPSLePCwVVBX2qZBJ5OWON73hpvY6xHMvxQPVnSEq3Yt3PxIJqGmVvHs6gp-1uXHnxZU7X2jEyRLwZ3wfpEYvC8G8n5RXnhwZVSjeXIRAnAFnRloHBGMs4dcsXEIOd8STRDd2VLbEkxY4d1avFGa1oyhEnM0HJqADQ0qPJkG~u8RWolp7Tg0WzHyzGPUI5c~1DJZz4DGBC5hRrkTdtWjcd5zO6uOfObxWbkVL1dkG7x7WMFupmQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Greenwood Advisory Planning Commission on Monday approved a waiver allowing a residential developer to provide pedestrian connections and a short trail instead of a vehicular connection between a new residential project south of Grubbs Ditch and the adjacent, undeveloped commercial parcel to the north.

The commission voted 8-0 to grant the waiver for PC2024-081 after staff and the developer negotiated five conditions, including: narrowing a blanket easement to allow commercial development, showing buildable area on a survey, requiring two pedestrian connections (with the residential developer to construct at least one), requiring the residential developer to construct a trail tying to the pedestrian bridge toward County Line Road and 5 Points Road with Greenwood staff approval of specifics, and making the residential developer or current owner responsible for maintaining the specified open space until an owners association forms.

Why it matters: Commissioners said the waiver is intended to avoid premature infrastructure on the commercial parcel while ensuring safe pedestrian access for future residents. The conditions aim to balance flexibility for future commercial development with interim public-access and maintenance responsibilities.

Planning staff and the developer described the practical difficulty of building a full roadway connection now and presented pedestrian alternatives. Planning staff said there were five conditions it had requested; they reiterated that one condition is that \"two connections shall be made between the commercial and residential parcels,\" and that the residential developer must construct at least one of those connections (Mister Nelson, staff member). Developer Ryan Holmes said his company was willing to accept some but not all of the conditions. \"We are comfortable with doing or committing to conditions 1, 2, and 5, but we are not comfortable with committing to 3 and 4,\" Holmes said, referring to requirements that would obligate him to install and maintain improvements on the commercial parcel he does not yet own.

Commissioners pressed on specifics. One commissioner noted the scale of the proposed north-side pathway and asked how long the path would be; staff estimated roughly \"1,300 feet.\" Staff and the developer discussed easements under a decommissioned pipeline and the need to avoid building inside rights the developer does not hold. Planning staff proposed a clarification that would require the developer to work collaboratively with Johnson County and adjacent owners to produce a detailed plan for the 300-foot gap and to construct right-of-way improvements contingent on Johnson County consent; staff said that proposed phrasing would expire if adjacent properties were later annexed into Greenwood.

Motion and outcome: The motion to approve the waiver (as read into the record with the five conditions and the commission's finding that the waiver criteria in Greenwood Municipal Code were met) was moved by Commissioner Stanbaugh and seconded by Commissioner Walker. The commission voted 8-0 in favor.

Next steps: The approved conditions require the developer to supply final drawings and receive Greenwood staff approval for the trail alignment and maintenance plan; staff and the developer also discussed coordination with Johnson County on easements and potential temporary construction easements.

A related continuance: Earlier in the meeting the commission granted a continuance for the Creekstone primary plat to the May 12 meeting to allow the petitioner to resolve outstanding infrastructure questions with staff. The commission also recorded findings-of-fact placement as part of the Leatherwood item’s record.","The Greenwood Advisory Planning Commission voted 8-0 to grant a waiver allowing a residential developer to build pedestrian connections and an on-site trail in place of a vehicular connection to an undeveloped commercial parcel, with five conditions including easement clarifications and maintenance responsibilities.","actionData","errors"]
