The petitioner is proposing 19 separate buildings that contain six to eight dwelling units. Amenities include a dog park and pedestrian trail.
What happened: Development plan and primary plat approval for seven duplex lots
What it means: The proposal is for seven lots for duplex buildings on approximately 2.648 acres in the North Walk development at 740 N.

The new street includes an emergency access lane that extends from the end of the cul-de-sac to adjacent Maple Lane. The proposal also includes two areas for neighborhood amenities and buffer yards. The property is currently vacant.
What happened: Primary plat and development plan review for 44 single family residential lots
What it means: The property is approximately 16 acres on the east side of Carey Road, south of 186th Street and north of Ind. 32. The proposed development plan is for the platting of 44 single-family detached residential lots within the existing Spring Mill Trails development.
What happened: Change in zoning for Sundown Gardens, Inc.
