The Chesterton Town
Council will meet at 7 p.m. Monday, June 13, at the town hall.
At that meeting,
members will consider an ordinance which would re-zone property at 112 S.
14th Street from B-3 to R-3. The owner of the property, Bill Bennett, wants
to raze a residential structure currently on the south end of the property
and build a three-plex multi-family building on it. The Advisory Plan
Commission unanimously endorsed Bennett’s petition at its May meeting.
Members will also
consider an amendment to the 2016 Salary Ordinance which would create the
position of “Building Official,” who would assist the Building Commissioner
with permit review, enforcement, and administration.
In other business,
Benlew Enterprises LLC is seeking to enter into a right-of-way agreement
with the town with respect to an unimproved but platted stretch of
Westchester Ave., between 22nd Street and 23rd Street. No further details on
the agreement were available today.
The council is also
scheduled to consider renewing for another year the 10-year tax abatement
granted to the Addison Pointe Health & Rehabilitation Center at 780
Dickinson Road. Late last month the Tax Abatement Advisory Committee voted
unanimously to endorse renewal, after administrators for the facility--now
owned by health Care Properties LLC--indicated that they are in compliance
with hiring and hiring preference commitments made by the previous owner in
2006, when the abatement was originally granted. Finally, the council is
scheduled to hear from LOK Wishing Foundation on carbon monoxide awareness.
