Michiana extends six‑month moratorium on sports‑court installations pending Master Plan
Summary
Council voted to extend a moratorium on sports‑court installations for six months while the Master Plan is completed; the extension passed by motion without recorded roll‑call tallies.
The Village of Michiana council on June 13 moved to extend an existing moratorium on the installation of sports courts for six months while the village completes its Master Plan.
Council member Tim McCarthy made the motion to extend the hold on sports courts until the Master Plan is finished later this year; Nancy Thill seconded and the motion passed. The extension keeps new sports‑court installations on hold through the Master Plan process so land‑use guidance can be finalized before permitting resumes.
Planning Commissioner Julie Bonello earlier thanked the Master Task Force for survey work and announced an open Master Plan workshop on July 26 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. EST for residents to view poster boards and comment. The moratorium was presented by council as temporary and tied explicitly to completion of that planning process.
The council did not record a roll‑call vote tally in the transcript for the moratorium extension. The moratorium is intended to preserve flexibility for land‑use decisions and to ensure the Master Plan will guide future approvals for private and public sports‑court projects.
