Page 6
1 Councilmember McBride said he had met with the gas and water utilities regarding the proposed ordinance
2 and both were represented in the audience and have suggestions and proposed amendments for the
3 ordinance.
4
5 Councilmember McBride said the utilities have proposed using#53 stone as backfill, allowing the use of cold
6 mix temporarily, allowing reporting time be extended for emergency cuts and the penalty be 100.00 for the
7 first offense and 300.00 for additional offenses.
8
9 Councilmember McBride said they also suggested the Street Department prepare a plan for paving that
10 could be provided to them for advance notice.
11
12 President Hutton announced the ordinance was on public hearing.
13
14 Mr. Harry Garrison, representing Indiana Gas, went over the proposed amendments. He said the use of#53
15 stone makes it better for tamping. Mr. Garrison also explained they were opposed to the City closing and
16 resurfacing the excavations and felt this burden should be on the utilities with a year's maintenance
17 responsibility and if the City made the repairs who would then be liable for the maintenance.
18
19 Mr. Garrison stated that they should be allowed a temporary repair and if hot mix is available it should be
20 repaired immediately,but 30 days should be allowed on a temporary repair if materials are not available.
21
22 Mr. Garrison felt the penalty should be 100.00 for the first offense and 300.00 for each additional offense.
23 He addressed the Street Department sharing their plans with the utilities and the advantage in such
24 instances as raising and lowering manholes prior to the paving. Mr. Garrison said on emergency repairs,
25 they felt they should be allowed 48 hours to notify the City so they can correct emergency problems when
26 they arise.
27
28 Mr. Garrison said he has also spoken with Mr. Wiwi about the cut permits being issued in blocks and with
29 color coding it would be easy to identify who was the responsible party.
30
31 Councilmember Parker expressed concern over taking out the language that the City could correct a problem
32 and recover the costs from the utilities. He felt this language should remain in the ordinance.
33
34 Mr. Garrison said he was familiar with the fact that other cities were trying to get away from doing any
35 paving. He said they contract the paving out and he preferred the City would take the utility to task in
36 another form and the only reason they should be delayed on a permanent repair would be during the cold
37 months. Mr. Garrison told Council that the newly formed Utility Committee will be a great assistance in this
38 problem.
39
40 Councilmember Parker said without that language it would still leave the city in a lurch and no recourse to
41 recover costs.
42
43 Mr.Garrison told Council that they are responsible for the maintenance of a temporary repair at all times until
44 the permanent repair can be made and then they assume responsibility for that for one year.
45
46 Councilmember Morris asked who was responsible for any liability for damages if the cut was not repaired
47 properly and Mr.Metzger said the utility company, but the City would also be held responsible.
48
49 Councilmember Morris said their concerns were damages caused by the cuts and the City could not afford to
50 lose the quality of its streets over and over again.
51
52 Mr.Garrison stated the utilities did not want their lines under pavement and prefer to do them along the curb
53 line. He said if legal action is taken, the utility would be named and the City be enjoined and he was not
54 certain how to get away from that liability.
55
56 Councilmember Parker asked if Mr. Metzger has a change to look at the proposed amendments and Mr.
57 Metzger indicated he did not have sufficient time to look over the proposed changes.
58
59 Mr. David Brook, Indiana American Water Company, told Council that Mr. Garrison had represented the
60 utilities well and he agreed with the Utility Committee there would be increased communication and reduced
61 problems. Mr. Brook did inquire how the 52 week rule for maintenance would apply if the City did the
62 repairs.
63
64 Mr. Metzger said the City would assume the responsibility when they did the repairs.
65
66 Councilmember Lundy expressed concerns that if the City alleviates the utilities of the responsibility of filling
the cuts by filling them,then the utilities may never fill one.

1 Councilmember Parker commented that the City would bill for the costs and if would be more expensive if
2 we did the repairs.
3
4 Councilmember McBride reminded the Council of the shortage of manpower in the Street Department and
5 we would have to add personnel to maintain the utility cuts.
6
7 Mr. Wiwi addressed the Council regarding the proposed amendments and he said the concern with the
8 proper fill was to make certain the materials would not settle. He told Council he agreed that many of the
9 problems would be addressed with the Utility Committee and good communication. Mr.Wiwi said if Council
10 would continue to make three year funding commitments for streets, then they would be able to share that
11 plan with the utilities, but would certainly be able to provide an annual plan.
12
13 Mr.Wiwi did request that Council not relax this ordinance to make it less stringent that the ordinance already
14 on the books.
15
16 Councilmember Brookbank felt the City Attorney should have proper time to look at the proposed
17 amendments and suggested it be held on second reading.
18
19 President Hutton announced the ordinance would be held on second reading.
20
21 Councilmember Elstro asked that RP&L and the Sanitary District also be consulted.
22
23 ORDINANCENO.62-1991
24
25 The Clerk read on second reading Ordinance No. 62-2991 - AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 154
26 OF THE MUNICIPAL CODE, BEING ORDINANCE NO. 2325-1968, COMMONLY KNOWN AS THE
27 ZONING ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF RICHMOND, INDIANA PROVIDING FOR THE REZONING OF
28 PROPERTY GENERALLY BOUND BY INTERSTATE 70, SALISBURY ROAD, GAAR JACKSON ROAD
29 AND ROUND BARN ROAD NORTH, FROM A-1 AGRICULTURAL DISTRICT TO M-2 GENERAL
30 INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT.
31
32 President Hutton announced the Ordinance was on public hearing.
33
34 Mr.James Kinnett, Economic Development Director, told Council with this rezoning they were attempting to
35 address needs for future growth for industry. He said there is very little land in other areas for viable growth
36 and this will develop specific plans for future growth.
37
38 Mr. Kinnett stated that they have a verbal commitment from the State that property would be available on a
39 case by case basis for development. He said the rezoning would change the property to taxable, tax
40 generating property.
41
42 Mr. Kinnett stated that the City needed to look at the future and not address needs after the fact, but rather
43 standardize the process for future development.
44
45 Councilmember McBride asked if any access to Interstate 70 would be the responsibility of the State and Mr.
46 Kinnett said that was correct and any interstate interchange would take from 8 to 10 years to complete and
47 would be approved at the federal level. He said this issue has been looked at they will continue to follow up
48 on it.
49
50 Councilmember McBride asked if it was true that the revenue from the rental of the grounds went to the local
51 State Hospital and Mr. Kinnett said he understood that it goes to the local facility for general fund revenue.
52
53 Councilmember Morris asked about the developer and Mr. Kinnett said this was the City of Richmond
54 looking at future development plans.
55
56 Councilmember Morris asked about site preparation and environmentally sound development.
57
58 Mr. Kinnett said they had been notified by the Department of Natural Resources of the existance of 9 areas
59 of wet land that would have to be addressed, but none of them existed on the southern portion of the
60 property. -
61
62 Mr. Kinnett stated that most of the area to the south of this property is already zoned M-2 and many existing
63 uses in the area are compatible with M-2. He said this would allow uses of this property to be monitored and
64 developed properly. -

1 Councilmember Morris said she would be interested to see if the property were suitable for industrial use
2 without major damage to the environment.
3
4 Mr. Kinnett stated that they had not done a major environmental review yet.
5
6 Ms.Shirley Rogers, 890 Hidden Valley Lane, representing the Wayne County Resource Council,told Council
7 that the area has natural resource issues that need to be considered. She said it was prime farm land and
8 there were 7 to 9 wetlands to be considered. Ms. Rogers said this zoning change was introduced when a
9 low impact industry was being considered and now the rezoning is being done as a blanket rezoning and
10 should be reconsidered.
11
12 Mr. Dooley informed Council that the Plan Commission had discussed the issues of the wetlands and they
13 will not preclude industrial development or affect the rezoning. He said they were not large areas and any
14 development will have to be made in concert with the wetlands. Mr. Dooley added that the Master Plan
15 identified the north west areas of the City of Richmond for industrial use and this area has frontage on
16 Interstate 70 and has the only railroad line servicing the City of Richmond.
17
18 Speaking in opposition was Mr. Don Eliason. Mr. Eliason introduced himself to Council as a farmer in the
19 area and asked that the land be left alone. He informed Council that the O'Brien Ditch would not handle
20 industrial development. Mr. Eliason told Council that he had spoken with Ms. Christine Letz of the State and
21 she informed his this land would not be free to the City of Richmond. Mr. Eliason asked that the City stay in
22 Wayne Township for development until they use what is available there.
23
24 Mr. Phil Bright, 1854 West Grove Road,told Council he was not anti-job or economic development. He said
25 he understood the need for industrial development, but also understood the need for responsible industrial
26 development. Mr. Bright said the City and County have been irresponsible with their tax abatements and he
27 felt it was unwise to continue development in other parts of the County.
28
29 Mr. Bright stated that the O'Brien Ditch was not able to be used as a drainage ditch and during the County
30 Master Plan meeting many people expressed the need to keep 1-70 frontage open as a rural gateway into
31 the County. Mr. Bright agreed that areas in Wayne Township that are vacant need to be used for industrial
32 development.
33
34 Mr. Bright said if the property is annexed into the City it will extend the two mile fringe jurisdiction to 1-70 and
35 Centerville Road and this is unquestionably wrong.
36
37 Ms. Linda Wallace, 2347 Salisbury Road North, told Council they have been fighting drainage problems for
38 years because it comes across the road and into their houses. She said they moved where they live
39 because they wanted country living and have first class homes. Ms. Wallace said there is plenty of vacant
40 property on the east side that should be used first.
41
42 Mr. Bob Thomas, 2339 Salisbury Road North,told the Council he agreed with Ms.Wallace. He said he has
43 seen businesses leave the area and there are properties available for industrial development. Mr. Thomas
44 asked the members of Council if they would want an industrial complex in their back yard.
45
46 Ms. Marcia French, 3502 College Corner Road, said she too understood the need for economic
47 development, but has a problem with a blanket rezoning in Center Township. She said they have severe
48 water problems in the area and the ditch is for rural drainage and not industrial.
49
50 Ms. French asked how homeowners would be protected for their investment in their home and she felt the
51 City needed to slow down with the zoning and get some legitimate plans made first.
52
53 There being no further discussion, Councilmember Elstro moved for engrossment, seconded by
