Plat committee approves expedited plats, grants three-day notice waiver for one petition

The Indianapolis Plat Committee on June 11 approved multiple expedited subdivision petitions and granted a three-day notice waiver for petition 2025PLT029, which the petitioner said had a late mailing of public notices.

Committee staff read a list of expedited petitions into the record, including 2025PLT014 (Henson's Elmwood Replat), 2025PLT023 (32 Hundred Arlington replat, with waivers and a vacation component), several Lazarus Development LLC plats (2025PLT024, 025, 026), Habitat for Humanity petitions (2025PLT023, 027, 028), College Flats LLC (2025PLT029), and larger plats in outlying townships (2025PLT032, 033). For 2025PLT029, Michael Weigel told the committee staff had no objection to a three-day notice waiver and a motion was made and approved. A roll-call vote was recorded for the expedited package: Hargett (yes), Rasdell (yes), Wilson (yes); the expedited portion passed.

The committee also read and separately moved a recommended finding for the vacation component associated with 2025PLT023, confirming adoption of declaratory resolution 2025 PLT 023 and waiving an assessment hearing subject to public-utility rights under IC 36-7-3-16.

Several items on the expedited list had no members of the public present to remonstrate; one item (2025VAC005) was pulled from expedited for a full hearing after a remonstrator appeared. The committee approved the expedited petitions by motion and roll call and advised petitioners and nearby property owners to consult staff reports for conditions and requirements, including any sidewalk waivers or requirements for underground utilities.
