Franklin Planning Commission continues Umbarger Lane annexation, petitioner to return June 17
Summary
The City of Franklin Planning Commission approved a continuance for the Umbarger Lane annexation and rezoning petitions (PC2515A and PC2516R) to the commission's June 17 meeting after the petitioner requested more time to finalize commitments with staff.
The City of Franklin Planning Commission on May 20 voted to continue consideration of PC2515A and PC2516R — petitions to annex and rezone property on Umbarger Lane — to its June 17 meeting at 6 p.m.
The continuance was requested by Dominic Dreyer, representing Arbor Homes, who told the commission the developer needed additional time to secure "additional commitments" and to allow staff time to review the final documents. Joanna, planning department staff, told the commission that staff supports the continuance and that Arbor Homes and its legal counsel have been "in constant communication" with the department while they work through outstanding commitments.
The matter drew brief public attention from Michelle Jackson, who identified herself as the owner of property at 4839 East 75 South, Franklin, Indiana 46131, noting her property is across the street from the proposed rezoning. The commission did not discuss the substance of the rezoning at length at this meeting because the petitioner asked to delay substantive consideration.
Commissioner Bill Carson moved to continue the petitions to the June meeting; Commissioner Georgina Halton seconded. The commission approved the continuance by voice vote; the chair announced the case would be continued to the June 17 meeting at 6 p.m. and that no additional notices will be mailed, so this action serves as the public notice.
Joanna also reminded the public that planning staff are available for questions and that petitioners and residents may contact the planning department while the petition is pending.
The petitions list Arbor Homes as the petitioner and Palladium Properties LLC as the property owner. No new conditions, commitments, or vote on rezoning were adopted at the May 20 meeting; the item was continued for further review and finalization of commitments.
