CITY PLAN COMMISSION
RICHMOND, INDIANA
December 15, 1988
Mrs. Lynn Morris, President
Members of Common Council and
Mrs. Mary Merchanthouse, City Clerk

Richmond, Indiana 47374
Re: Ordinance No. 73-1988
Plan Commission Case PC-88-16
Dear Mrs. Morris, Members of Common Council and
Mrs. Merchanthouse:
The Richmond City Plan Commission conducted public hearings on
October 25, 1988, November 22, 1988, and December 13, 1988 on the
petition of Road America, Inc., owner, John Whalen, Agent, requesting
to rezone property located at 2510 Chester Boulevard from C-2
Commercial District to C-2 SU Commercial Special Use District, and
also requesting Special Use Authorization for a motor vehicle service
station.
Forty -Three (43) notices of public hearing were sent to the
surrounding residents with five (5) returned in opposition to the
petition. During the public hearing four (4) persons spoke in
opposition to the petition.
Road America, Inc. is currently operating a Mobile Service Station at
2510 Chester Boulevard. This property is zoned C-2 Commercial
District. Kocolene Oil Corporation desires to purchase the property,
demolish the existing service station and construct a new service
station and convenience store. The requirements of the zoning
Ordinance are such that a new service station may be constructed on
the property only after a rezoning to the Special Use District.
The Plan Commission conducted three (3) public hearings on the
petition. Residents in the area spoke of their concerns about
drainage problems along Catalpa Drive and about traffic congestion on
Chester Boulevard. Concerns were also expressed about the impact of
the proposed service station on the Green Acres facilities on
Mendelson Drive. The Special Use site plan indicates a new curb cut
for the proposed service station on Mendelson Drive opposite the curb
cut for Richard's Restaurant. Concerns were expressed about the
impact of increased traffic on Mendelson Drive on the children using
the Green Acres facilities.
The Plan Department conducted three (3) meetings with
representatives of Kocolene Oil Corporation, Indiana Department
of Highways, Richmond Sanitary District and the Traffice
Division of the Police Department, to resolve the drainage and
traffic concerns. The Plan Commission determined that the
petition conplies with the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance
and therefore voted seven (7) to two (2) to recommend that
Ordinance No. 73-1988 be adopted.
Respectfully submitted,
Daniel S. Dooley
Executive Secretary,
Richmond City Plan Commission
