The Metropolitan Development Commission Plat Committee of Indianapolis convened on August 13, 2025, to discuss several key matters, including a request for a continuance regarding a case on Lafayette Road and an important amendment related to a property on McFarland.

Evan Latner, the registered agent for the petitioner concerning the case at 8606 Lafayette Road, requested a continuance to the next scheduled hearing on September 10. This request was made to allow time for the submission of a waiver related to sidewalk requirements for the property. The committee noted that this was the first continuance for the case, and there was no opposition from staff regarding the request. A motion was made and unanimously approved to continue the case with new notice.

In addition to the Lafayette Road case, the committee addressed item number 5 on the agenda, concerning a property at 7525 McFarland. Staff highlighted the need to add a condition regarding a temporary easement that had not been included in the initial submission. This easement must be affixed to the final plat before recording. The committee confirmed that the petitioner was aware of this requirement and had previously communicated with staff about it.

The meeting concluded with the committee prepared to move forward with expedited readings of other agenda items, ensuring that all necessary amendments and conditions were properly documented for future approvals.
