Board signs plat for 1200 West Memorial to advance permanent supportive housing; member abstains
Summary
Gretchen Cheeseman said the 1200 West Memorial parcel had to be replatted for the city's permanent supportive housing project; the board provided signatures on the plat, with one member abstaining because he serves on the Open Door board, identified as the owner of record.
The Muncie Board of Public Works and Safety signed the plat for 1200 West Memorial on May 6, a procedural step for the city's permanent supportive housing project.
Gretchen Cheeseman, director of community development, told the board the parcel "had to be replatted" and that the replat had been approved by the plat committee. She asked the board to sign the official plat. During the discussion a member noted that Open Door is the owner of record for the parcel; that member abstained from the vote, stating he is on the Open Door board. Paula Mauer moved to provide signatures; the chair seconded and the motion carried with the abstention recorded.
Board members clarified that the replat does not require planning-commission approval in this instance and asked staff to sign the plat so it could be filed. The transcript records that the board would "stand by and support" the resident issues raised elsewhere on the agenda and that the clerk's office maintains packets that explain council-level procedures for matters such as vacating rights-of-way.
Next steps include filing the signed plat with the appropriate county office and continuing project implementation through community development and related departments.
