Commissioners approve rezoning for 210-home subdivision near Caborn Road
Summary
Posey County Commissioners approved rezoning 113.03 acres near 6400 Caborn Road from agricultural to residential single-family, enabling a representative of MJC Development to propose 210 homesites; nearby residents raised drainage and safety concerns.
The Posey County Board of Commissioners voted 2-0 to approve rezoning 113.03 acres at or near 6400 Caborn Road from Agriculture to Residential Single-Family after the Area Plan Commission recommended approval 6-0.
A representative of MJC Development told the commissioners the rezoning would permit a residential subdivision of about 210 homesites to be developed over three to four years. Neighbors at 5930 Caborn Road — Bob Goebel and Debbie Head — raised concerns about drainage, traffic volume and the safety implications of a single entrance and exit for the proposed subdivision.
Commissioner Bill Collins moved to approve the rezoning request; Commissioner Eric Koester seconded. The motion carried 2-0.
Why it matters: rezoning clears the way for a sizable residential development that will add housing units and change land use patterns, while raising infrastructure and traffic-safety questions residents flagged. The transcript records public concerns about drainage and an access configuration with one entrance and exit; the meeting minutes do not record mitigation commitments on the record.
Next steps: project proponents will proceed with subdivision design, permitting and infrastructure planning as required by county and state procedures. The meeting record does not list a development schedule or public infrastructure commitments beyond the developer’s general timeline.
