Council holds public hearing and tables annexation for Dyken Park driving range
Summary
The Logansport Common Council held the required public hearing on annexation ordinance 2025‑13 for a proposed driving range at Dyken Park and voted to table second reading pending a fiscal plan and 14‑day waiting period.
The Logansport Common Council held a mandatory public hearing Monday on ordinance 2025‑13, the petitioned annexation for a roughly 10‑acre parcel north of the golf course intended for a driving range at Dyken Park, and voted to table second reading.
Mayor Chris Martin opened the hearing and invited the petitioner to speak. "Reminder, this is for, what will be the driving range at Dyken Park, just north of the golf course," the petitioner, identified in the hearing as Mr. Cuppy, told the council, adding that the property owner (RDC) petitioned for voluntary annexation.
Mr. Cuppy said the parcel is about 10 acres and would be placed in Ward 1 and that if the ordinance completes its process — first reading, a required 14‑day wait, a fiscal plan and second reading — the annexation would take effect Jan. 1, 2027. He said the petitioner is the sole owner and that the annexation would change the fire district to Logansport.
Councilman Dave Morris moved to table the ordinance and noted a fiscal plan would be introduced in June, with second reading to follow if the fiscal plan is approved. The motion to table was seconded and carried unanimously.
The hearing record closed at 5:52 p.m., and the council did not take a second‑reading vote at that meeting. Council staff said the next steps are publishing the fiscal plan and bringing the ordinance back for second reading after the statutorily required waiting period.
