August 21, 2020 Hendricks County ICON 5 COMMUNITY myhcicon.com Brownsburg Town Council begins approval process for housing development Compiled by Gus Pearcy The Brownsburg Town Council met Aug. 13 for a regular meeting at Brownsburg Town Hall. All council members were present. The council meets at 7 p.m. the second and fourth Thursdays each month at town hall, 61 N. Green St. Meetings are streamed live and archived at brownsburg.org. The next regular meeting is scheduled for Aug. 27 WHAT HAPPENED: The council approved an ordinance to annex property on the northeast corner of N CR 625 and U.S. 136 on the west side of town. The council also approved the fiscal plan for the property in a resolution. The council also approved on first reading the ordinance to change the property’s zoning from general agriculture to residential. WHAT IT MEANS: Developers are trying to get approval for a housing project on the property at N CR 625 E and U.S. 136. Last year, the council rejected a planned unit development by another applicant. This time, Silverthorne Homes wants to build 75 homes on the 41.5 acres. This would fall into the Residential 3 zoning category. Council members remarked on the improvement in the plan from the PUD. The annexation and rezoning are moving concurrently through the process to shorten the process to begin building. Assistant Town Manager Al Geans told the council that should the rezoning fail to gain approval, the annexation ordinance would be withdrawn. A public hearing will likely be scheduled for the next meeting. WHAT HAPPENED: The council approved a resolution for a utility connection fee discount for the Knez Properties, 4695 and 4745 E. Northfield Drive. WHAT IT MEANS: K1ds Count is a pediatric therapy clinic facility headquartered in Brownsburg. The business has grown quickly and now has more than 200 clients. It is expanding operations at this address. Several council members noted the importance of the service to the area and how glad they were that it was here.
