Commission reviews Rock Schleiser subdivision; staff notes grandfathered lot and easement issues
Summary
During old business the commission reviewed the Rock Schleiser subdivision, discussed frontage discrepancies and relocation of NIPSCO and sewer easements, and confirmed Lot 16 is grandfathered from earlier vacating actions.
The commission revisited the Rock Schleiser subdivision under old business, with staff and commissioners clarifying lot lines, frontage measurements, and easement relocations.
Staff member (transcript_label 4) explained that the garage on Lot 16 dates to the mid-1980s and is grandfathered because the vacation predated current rules. Committee member (transcript_label 3) queried frontage figures, saying the original lot showed 89.47 feet while the current drawing listed 85.97 feet, which he noted effectively reduces the original lot by five feet.
Committee member (transcript_label 6) raised concern about relocating a NIPSCO easement and a sanitary sewer easement; staff replied that NIPSCO’s easement predates the subdivision and that relocation would require documentation and NIPSCO’s approval. The board agreed no building permits would issue until easement and utility relocation matters were resolved.
