Staff and commission members said county counsel, county administration and APC leadership worked together to craft the agreement to remove conflicts between locally adopted personnel language and Indiana law. Staff member Liz Stitzel reviewed the agreement and said each commissioner present would sign on individual lines; after APC adoption the interlocal agreement will be presented to the County Council on July 8 for final approval.

Commissioner discussion was brief and favorable. A motion to adopt the interlocal agreement passed on voice vote; staff said the commission will provide executed copies to records for all three boards and the auditor, as required by the county auditor’s office. The staff advised that the signed agreement shows the parties have resolved language conflicts and will allow the auditor to proceed without further conflict-related delay.","The Area Plan Commission voted June 17 to adopt an interlocal agreement intended to align the commission’s personnel policies with state law; members signed a commitment form to submit to county council and the auditor.",{"_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},6179998,"APC grants primary approval for Ping Addition minor subdivision contingent on correct covenant signatories",283,2132750,2416040,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5121776-23d35be4fef243e77722d090fa0e62fc&start=2132&end=2416","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5121776-23d35be4fef243e77722d090fa0e62fc/thumbnail_2132750.jpg","/articles/6179998/Clinton-County/Indiana/APC-grants-primary-approval-for-Ping-Addition-minor-subdivision-contingent-on-correct-covenant-signatories","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6179998-db60db02122c86fad7bdaec211566a6a/orig.mp4?Expires=1774834383&Signature=cenOTT4Skqf-Yrm0VHuNBwGE05OZeeLr0iiKdFgXerroacHqLpJvnOuPfjc2tq6vEt4LvtB1v47awvIDORK5hnr1g2iSVZo5ucd2ERaNnJbOj2knBA~KG0-s1KBIqDt6HSkGHpu6EHVsrB64wsFvNunGghjWzAE5dpV4OnDl7944WQVtsMAsvkYVX-PFRW2vJf2U3S21yAIwyboY-ehtlFmFNsQDzeCPg2BGpo6Bv4RRCrTn45eDXi~56LVsupuz0Q0QCqX1VPPZJ0MyDZqH4o-wy4qWm7VntaLcHKGUhBmg8zeCGIeimdfGg0gLdWVoksypabt21buioHYDrbpkpA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Clinton County Area Plan Commission granted primary approval June 17 to the Ping Addition, a one-lot minor subdivision proposed by Sharon Ping, provided that outstanding covenant execution and signature issues are resolved.

Planner Liz Stitzel explained the parcel is a 2.817-acre first split from a 63.65-acre parent tract in Michigan Township. Staff said the lot scored sufficiently to be approved administratively rather than to go before the Board of Zoning Appeals, the health department approved septic suitability with a permanent drainage outlet shown on the plat, and the drainage board gave unanimous approval on May 6, 2025.

Stitzel told the commission county counsel and the surveyor identified that not all required property owners had signed the covenants and that a missing signatory needed to be added; she said the petitioner must secure execution by both the life-estate owner and the remainder-owner before secondary filing. The surveyor also provided a revised document for county review.

No members of the public objected. Commissioners moved, seconded and recorded roll-call approval. Staff said the administrative secondary filing will proceed once the corrected covenants are executed and acceptable to county counsel.","The area plan commission granted primary approval June 17 for a one-lot minor subdivision dubbed the Ping Addition, contingent on corrected covenant signatories and minor survey revisions identified by county counsel and the surveyor.",{"_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},6180003,"Clinton County APC grants primary approval for Farrell one-lot subdivision with covenant change condition",401,84390,485710,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5121776-23d35be4fef243e77722d090fa0e62fc&start=84&end=485","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5121776-23d35be4fef243e77722d090fa0e62fc/thumbnail_84390.jpg","/articles/6180003/Clinton-County/Indiana/Clinton-County-APC-grants-primary-approval-for-Farrell-one-lot-subdivision-with-covenant-change-condition","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6180003-9a19e64851acfadb37c7cc11d3529650/orig.mp4?Expires=1774834383&Signature=iM-6C239gvBtfQK5bvvMZ1Vhz7qWkwmFqQnmUS7U7VyoUO2ZpMsLG6QDmtI6WjTWxjKtXVbswye6jYHVCCapfQHjkIVHkwc4TrqsSYYFKG~K9dOBkqqBTIn3QF7vy7QIsQPILzlo6-5rHs3IEGK6h6dvuSrss8Ssr8ibfbcuAY9DVHC~JpxyQxYK1bKfSExe5bQEX25LbnpVb1~rXnbyNVwEb~KANSrh8~WsKK52l2~SdXiR3Db3tfk5fZcS0nI~DfHq9wRHNkXW2Kk6moJ9~uUBoPVyZGaMiitDd~hI8phWGM92IHB6CZbPAUEchqbKr~sqRCsUBy3oyILoPHlloA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Clinton County Area Plan Commission on June 17 granted primary approval for a one-lot minor subdivision filed by Taylor Farrell, contingent on the petitioner modifying restrictive covenants that would otherwise prohibit nonresidential home occupations.

Staff said the proposed lot is a two-acre first split from a 93.18-acre parent tract in Michigan Township and that zoning in the area is agricultural. Planner Liz Stitzel reported the lot scored sufficiently on the county’s point system to avoid a Board of Zoning Appeals review; the health department approved septic suitability subject to a perimeter drainage outlet shown on the plat, and the surveyor’s office provided a drainage-waiver.

Stitzel told the commission the draft covenants included unusually strict language limiting uses to residential and agricultural only, which would bar typical small home occupations (for example, direct-sales businesses). Staff recommended primary approval but suggested the petitioner remove or relax the extra restrictive clause before secondary (final) approval so future owners would not be unduly constrained or risk neighbor enforcement under reciprocal covenants.

Petitioner Taylor Farrell told the commission they were not aware of the restrictive clause and would discuss modifications with the surveyor. Commissioner discussion focused on avoiding overly restrictive covenants on a one-lot minor subdivision and the likelihood that the secondary filing will be processed administratively once covenants are corrected.

Commissioners moved and seconded a motion to grant primary approval conditioned on modifying the covenants to permit reasonable minor home occupations; roll-call votes recorded Jordan Brewer, Dan Sheets, Walt Minnick, Jeff Chenoweth and Chad Colby voting yes. Staff said the petitioner’s surveyor will process primary approval and that secondary approval will be filed administratively after the covenant change is executed.","The Area Plan Commission granted primary approval June 17 for the TC Farrell one-lot minor subdivision, subject to the applicant modifying restrictive covenants to allow customary minor home occupations.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6180007,"Area plan commission recommends rezoning corner lot in Kirkland to expand downtown retail",1589,499490,2088880,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5121776-23d35be4fef243e77722d090fa0e62fc&start=499&end=2088","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5121776-23d35be4fef243e77722d090fa0e62fc/thumbnail_499490.jpg","/articles/6180007/Clinton-County/Indiana/Area-plan-commission-recommends-rezoning-corner-lot-in-Kirkland-to-expand-downtown-retail","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6180007-9e9a41c7b1ba181f5cd3aea29db88b57/orig.mp4?Expires=1774834383&Signature=WwUnFRmzuY929JlcaCiem2MZTl5bMGwZTOyC3qwTU9keBZGdBkQckBvIrps7OQUzFpbSc2wvpUPgCsaWC2zvUsoE5XFJnftVuaKhUmzlXsmLsg6-IovIRVxIt4h7H3lOcUGtuo~496Bigf-sCwh-MxvuBmi87l0vwqftlouT7-cObegeGQmjc6~CTaT2JvkH7ZAdEQM19FM1YRisLhgYqDDBjkBN3DecxMRTtJliLSSBxmnvtXIaIVCDOwOFu7L643Iuis9UO8IQRjNFcaXwsC7VEOionlAqu6PzbVmYIPcqXRucq7bSYpWpOaUQEdq7hlDZqtmrlVxdC1wo3cVFEw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Clinton County Area Plan Commission on June 17 voted to favorably certify a rezoning application for property at the northwest corner of North Main Street and Jefferson Street in Kirkland, recommending the Kirkland Town Board approve rezoning the parcel from Medium Density Residential to B-2 Central Business.

The recommendation matters because the change would permit retail storefronts, including a new liquor store the petitioner already operates in Kirkland, and because the lot is the only corner in that intersection still zoned residential. Staff said rezoning would expand the existing downtown footprint and is consistent with surrounding central business zoning on three corners of the intersection.

Planner Liz Stitzel told the commission the parcel consists of two platted lots that are in common ownership and that staff’s five-factor review found commercial use reasonable given traffic, location on intersecting state roads and limited availability of vacant downtown commercial space. Stitzel recommended the commission forward a favorable certification to the Kirkland Town Board with conditions to ensure new development matches the character and traffic safety needs of the downtown.

At the hearing, broker Albert Stankato clarified parcel numbers and ownership; he described the site as a single parent parcel with platted Lots 67 and 68, plus a third tax parcel resulting from a prior irregular split that is now in common ownership. Commissioners and members of the public raised concerns about traffic and building placement adjacent to a fire station and discussed the role of the Indiana Department of Transportation in permitting curb cuts on State Road 421.

To address those concerns, staff proposed — and the commission included in its recommendation — three commitments for the town board:

1) Development must be compatible with Kirkland’s existing downtown, including streetscape and sidewalks on both frontages;
2) The parcel will be subject to a development-plan review process with a hearing before the area plan commission to verify that the design meets the Unified Development Ordinance requirements and is aesthetically and functionally compatible with Kirkland’s downtown to the satisfaction of the Kirkland Town Board and the area plan commission; and
3) All new structures must sit at or behind the average setback of adjacent buildings.

Stitzel noted that the downtown district typically allows zero lot-line construction and does not require off-street parking; she recommended limiting on-site parking and curb cuts near the intersection because of crash history and fire apparatus movements. She said INDOT (Indiana Department of Transportation) will determine allowable curb-cut locations and that developers should consult INDOT early in site planning.

The commission moved, seconded and voted in favor of forwarding the rezoning to the Kirkland Town Board with the three commitments. Roll call recorded Jordan Brewer, Dan Sheets, Walt Minnick, Jeff Chenoweth and Chad Colby voting yes. The recommendation will be presented to the Kirkland Town Board later this month; staff said APC will provide signed commitment documents to be recorded if the town approves the rezoning.

The town board may accept, modify or add to the commitments; if the town changes them, the planning staff said the commission could ask the town to table the matter so the APC can update its recommendation.","The Clinton County Area Plan Commission voted unanimously June 17 to favorably certify a rezoning request in Kirkland from medium-density residential to B-2 Central Business with three commitments on design and setbacks before the town board decides.","actionData","errors"]
