Summary

At a regular meeting, the Elkhart City Planning Commission elected Commissioner Schaefer as president, amended the agenda to reflect the change, and approved address assignments including one residential address on Clayton, addresses in the Homer Avenue subdivision, and one commercial address on East Mishawaka Road for a new lift station.

The Elkhart City Planning Commission elected Commissioner Schaefer as president and approved several administrative items, including address assignments for new properties.

Commissioner Schaefer was nominated and, following a motion to close nominations, was elected by roll call vote to serve as the permanent president going forward. During the roll call, Commissioners Osborne, Beecher, Lawson, Newbill, Mishler and Schaefer cast affirmative votes; Mishler recorded his vote as "Aye" and Schaefer said, "Reluctantly, yes." The commission also amended the meeting agenda to replace the prior president’s name with Schaefer’s.

Later in the meeting the commission approved proposed addresses submitted by the City of Elkhart Planning and Zoning Department. Staff said the assignments included one residential address on Clayton, addresses in the Homer Avenue subdivision (details not read aloud in full), and one commercial address on East Mishawaka Road for a new lift station. Commissioner Mishler moved to approve the addresses; Commissioner Osborne seconded. The commission approved the motion by roll call vote.

The meeting otherwise was procedural: commissioners approved the amended agenda, handled the PUD minor amendment for 4430 Eastland Drive, and then adjourned.
