Planning commission approves minor PUD amendment for addition at 4430 Eastland Drive
Summary
The Elkhart City Planning Commission approved a minor amendment to a planned unit development allowing a 23-by-40 enclosed dock addition at 4430 Eastland Drive for Carolina Creek Development LLC; staff said technical plans are approved and no public hearing was required.
The Elkhart City Planning Commission voted to approve a minor amendment to the planned unit development at 4430 Eastland Drive to allow a 23-by-40 enclosed dock addition for Carolina Creek Development LLC.
Planning staff presented the request under the city’s site-plan amendment rules. "Staff recommends approval of the minor amendment to the planned unit development per section 20-10 A2," said Mister Trotter, planning department staff, summarizing the file and staff findings.
Staff told the commission the property is within an area designated for industrial uses and that the proposed addition is compatible with the site's existing industrial activity. The plans for the addition had already been submitted for technical review and were approved; staff said this amendment is the last item needed for final sign-off. Because the change was categorized as a minor amendment under section 20-10 A2, the request did not require publication or a public hearing.
Commissioner Mishler moved to grant final approval, Commissioner Beecher seconded, and the commission approved the amendment by roll call vote.
The petitioner, identified in the record as Bill Ginter (corporate name Carolina Creek Development LLC), was not present in the room; staff noted the petitioner may file for local plan review to proceed while the plan commission completes its action.
The commission’s approval formally allows the 23-by-40 enclosed dock at the southwest corner of the building at 4430 Eastland Drive to proceed under the amended PUD. Further permits and technical sign-offs reported as completed by staff remain necessary before construction.
