APC approves Heritage Business Park replat to create two lots; final plat recording required

The Town of Brownsburg Advisory Planning Commission approved the primary plat replat PCPP-25-1 to divide an undeveloped lot in Heritage Business Park into two lots, now labeled Lot 23 and Lot 24.

Staff said the site lies at the end of Maplehurst Drive, is zoned C3 (heavy commercial) and includes White Lick Creek along the northwest edge of the property. The plat shows a 15-foot drainage and utility easement along the perimeter, an ingress/egress easement around Lot 24 and two proposed access points: a roundabout connection and a south-side driveway on Maplehurst. Staff reported that lots meet lot-width and area requirements in chapter 2 and chapter 7 of the UDO and recommended approval with conditions.

Staff listed conditions that must be satisfied prior to final plat stamping and recording: completion of all remaining technical-review comments, recording the final plat in the Hendricks County Recorder's office before any building permits issue, and approval of findings of fact and report of determination by the planning commission. The staff presentation also noted perimeter sidewalks must be shown on a subsequent development plan review if a building is proposed.

Martin Spies of Northpointe Engineering, representing the applicant, told the commission the filing was a planning-stage item and that most outstanding details related to future development of the lots; he said his client was comfortable with the staff conditions.

No written comments were received and no members of the public signed up to speak at the advertised public hearing. Commissioner Mr. Humphreys moved to approve PCPP-25-1 subject to staff recommendations; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote.

The commission closed the hearing and approved the plat with conditions that must be completed before permits are issued.
