Amy (last name not provided), who said she lives at 2189 Springtime Road and represented neighbors at the meeting, told the council the organizers “presented themselves as representing Summerfield Place HOA” but that the HOA did not authorize the representations. She said Summerfield Place contains 134 homes and that the proposed no-parking zones would “directly impact nearly 30 properties,” more than 20% of the neighborhood. Amy added several neighbors had been told by others that code enforcement had already placed no-parking signs; she said repeatedly at the podium, “That is a lie,” and asked the council to treat communications carefully.

Other residents said the neighborhood lacks off-street capacity for additional vehicles and that restricting parking on curves would move parking into already-congested straightaways. Scott Kozart, who lives at 2203 Springtime Road, said he counted 51 cars parked on the street during an evening drive-through and argued that many households rely on curb parking because garages cannot accommodate modern vehicles and because driveways are short.

Opponents also raised accessibility and service concerns: they said contractors, lawn-care trucks, tree services, holiday gatherings and visitors would have fewer legal places to park and that elderly or mobility-impaired visitors could be forced to park farther from homes. Residents asked whether other measures — such as speed humps, speed cushions or raised crosswalks — could address safety without broadly eliminating parking.

Council response and next steps: The mayor and council members said engineering staff had already visited the neighborhood and will provide recommendations; if council wishes to proceed with a no-parking zone it must direct the corporation counsel to prepare an ordinance and then move through the city’s three-meeting ordinance process (introduction, first reading, second reading). Council cautioned that eliminating parking on curves will displace vehicles elsewhere in the neighborhood. No ordinance or formal vote was taken at the meeting.

Nut Graf: The transcript shows strong neighborhood opposition focused on access, parking capacity and whether HOA representation was accurate; the council directed staff to review the geometry and safety and explained that any no-parking change would require a formal ordinance and multiple council readings before taking effect.

Ending: Engineering will review sightlines and safety at the four highlighted curves; any further action would require a council member to request an ordinance and follow the city’s standard legislative process.","Multiple Summerfield Place residents told the Greenwood Common Council they oppose proposed no-parking zones on four curved streets, saying the changes would affect roughly 30 properties out of 134 homes and create parking and accessibility problems; council said engineering will review and an ordinance would be required to enact restrictions.",{"_33":97,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":98,"_41":99,"_43":100,"_45":101,"_46":102,"_48":103,"_50":104,"_52":105,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":106,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":107,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":67,"_71":72,"_73":72},6160397,"Council corrects citation and passes stormwater amendment on erosion permits for small-lot disturbance",42,1968000,2010000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5450530-40a17c50c5552e3f06bcebe3193db28d&start=1968&end=2010","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5450530-40a17c50c5552e3f06bcebe3193db28d/thumbnail_1968000.jpg","/articles/6160397/Greenwood/Johnson-County/Indiana/Council-corrects-citation-and-passes-stormwater-amendment-on-erosion-permits-for-small-lot-disturbance","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6160397-26ad740cf145af30ebd148309e930699/orig.mp4?Expires=1771136263&Signature=QY0ySzdfJUquS~1Fdd9tiivnxF5xFYPfpbTvFLVYWwcARJ4g~tSz186OcYmW5nTTKwioSxllvTvN6ECny0qDLzJZlp3b~QkCyBglR9znlqnrmg7xvWlwEID4juOYoC4z0MHo9rzcZOvJa7OZW9WIDaX9iFR7XlfmoVYg4-A4mkUGbsvUtwe0CmLKIoYNGSmnnKMdkrfzS3JsLZvraANKRoh4w-u5nFeBEKmYGSc1KAsXgfVFJgbhkFa-HpCMk3aoS0tqd2N7yjS929sAr2HkRPEbtHeVvEUx-g8mDHHSd27nJ8Ox8w0vD0Pi-iZ1agiCU7TTjY74xezHJ2N1cjiVxQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Greenwood Common Council passed Ordinance 25-15 on second reading by a vote of 9-0, amending the stormwater management ordinance to clarify erosion and sediment control permit requirements for land disturbance on individual lots smaller than one acre.

Council member Gibson identified a correction in the ordinance’s whereas clause and said, “It should read, the 25 20 25 dash o 3,” referring to the proper resolution citation for the Greenwood Board of Directors of the Department of Stormwater Management. Council member Hopper moved the amendment and council approved the change by roll call. The ordinance then passed second reading 9-0.

Nut graf: The change is procedural and corrects a citation in the document; the substantive amendment addresses permit requirements for erosion and sediment control for smaller lot disturbances and moves through the standard ordinance-reading process.

Background: City staff introduced the ordinance and council members discussed only the citation correction at the meeting; no additional substantive revisions were recorded in the transcript. The ordinance will be incorporated into the city’s stormwater code as amended and enforced by city stormwater staff.","Ordinance 25-15, amending the stormwater management ordinance about erosion and sediment control permits for lot disturbances under one acre, passed second reading 9-0 after a technical amendment correcting a resolution citation.",{"_33":109,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":110,"_41":111,"_43":112,"_45":113,"_46":114,"_48":115,"_50":116,"_52":117,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":118,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":119,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":67,"_71":72,"_73":72},6160402,"Greenwood council approves annexation of about 100.67 acres with commitments on drainage, trails and tree preservation",292,724000,1016000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5450530-40a17c50c5552e3f06bcebe3193db28d&start=724&end=1016","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5450530-40a17c50c5552e3f06bcebe3193db28d/thumbnail_724000.jpg","/articles/6160402/Greenwood/Johnson-County/Indiana/Greenwood-council-approves-annexation-of-about-10067-acres-with-commitments-on-drainage-trails-and-tree-preservation","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6160402-8b55ef99dae58fd818c50d3ba709141f/orig.mp4?Expires=1771136263&Signature=GqQh4mbsPY8CTtZfbuPFN8nejMo2PGCBHKR09XGf05-~mBdsN3H-OMdJQ1nL8ofFAaSC3apZdT2wVVVnU1VDUd5~I5lFcCfXTmSBkqSix0las7J3BcEdSY0U6NMJ7fS4~h9IkMdUE5MadUaStavXZexu6g-UevRpzlGBaXKas3F~vJe-kUa2nMJ0QRdVkJiGdp630aatww0Jr5vVJGm6YLlMafxOkhhRlJvobekL-vXjiQF~n0ab~t9BSyy6G4yHpKQ3WOjlLOFK5pO5S1PTypAl8ke3HpWecNRBfaPCspKlBA5VUQUHHRTMyZtGNNLN8ej5hLyDXQG29xQMukDdlg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Greenwood Common Council on Monday approved Ordinance 25-14 and Resolution 25-10 to annex approximately 100.67 acres between County Road 125 West and County Road 200 West into the city, passing both measures on first and second readings by a vote of 9-0 after amending the proposals with plan-commission commitments.

The annexation matter was sponsored by Council member Campbell. Council member Lexi moved the ordinance and Council member Hopper seconded; Council later adopted several amendments including commitments to follow the Unified Development Land (UDL) plan, provide pedestrian crossings for Honey Creek, create a meaningful internal trail connection to the Honey Creek Trail and preserve healthy, noninvasive trees. The plan commission gave a favorable recommendation, 9-0.

Why it matters: The annexation will extend Greenwood’s corporate boundaries and set development standards for the site. Council members and several nearby residents raised questions about drainage, road improvements and how the developer will protect existing trees and sight lines for neighbors.

Council and staff discussion focused on three implementation areas: stormwater controls, roadway improvements and open-space/tree preservation. City planning and engineering staff said detailed drainage plans will be reviewed at the primary plat and again at site-plan and secondary-plat stages, and that an outside review consultant will evaluate designs. City staff said the developer would not be permitted to discharge more stormwater than currently leaves the site and that, in staff’s view, on-balance the project is “likely going to improve the situation” compared with current conditions. The transcript shows a city planning staff member stating, “They would not be allowed to discharge more water than they are currently discharging today.”

Traffic and right-of-way commitments were also amended into the ordinance. Council added a requirement that the petitioner work with engineering to fund or restrict donations for two potential roundabouts (Whiteland Road/Honey Creek and Smoky Row/Honey Creek) based on a traffic study. Council emphasized that the donation amount will depend on the traffic study’s findings about how many users the intersections will see.

Neighbors at the meeting pressed for protections. Robert Pool, a resident who lives south of the site, said he is concerned about increased runoff entering his two-acre pond and asked whether elevation changes and new retention ponds would somehow increase water on his land. Alan Medina and another neighbor said they want zoning on the east side of County Road 125 West to match the west side and asked that tree lines be preserved; another nearby resident who said the neighborhood contains larger-lot homes urged that the city favor “residential large” development patterns.

Council and the petitioner discussed exterior materials and buffers: staff outlined three “paths” for building materials that range from masonry-heavy options to paths geared toward custom homes with architectural features; council members noted the city does not generally require a buffer or mandatory fence between single-family and single-family or agricultural uses, but added a tree-preservation commitment and a possibility of a recorded tree-preservation easement or maintenance easement that would appear on the plat and chain of title.

Procedure and outcome: Council amended Ordinance 25-14 twice to add plan-commission commitments and a southwest tree line; each amendment passed by roll call 9-0. Ordinance 25-14 as amended passed first reading 9-0. Resolution 25-10, the related fiscal plan required for annexation, was amended to reflect the plan-commission commitments and also passed on second reading 9-0.

Next steps: Staff and the petitioner will proceed to primary plat review where drainage, road improvements and detailed site plans will be evaluated; outside consultants will review technical drainage submittals. The amended commitments will be recorded in the chain of title and can be reflected on the recorded plat as preservation or maintenance easements for trees if council and staff choose that route.

Council members, city staff and the petitioner all stated the annexation will proceed through the typical permitting and platting steps before final development occurs. The transcript records no final site-plan approvals at the meeting; the annexation and fiscal plan establish the development framework but leave detailed engineering and site-level decisions to subsequent reviews.","The Greenwood Common Council voted 9-0 in favor of Ordinance 25-14 and Resolution 25-10, annexing roughly 100.67 acres between County Road 125 West and County Road 200 West after adding plan-commission commitments covering drainage, trails, roundabout donations and tree preservation.","actionData","errors"]
