Agenda

Resolution to Accept a Donation of Property Known as Maple Leaf Blvd 

• • Maple Leaf Blvd is controlled by the Maple Leaf Building Corp (MLBC) that falls under the control of the commissioners.  Commissioners appoint a three-member board.  
  • IU Health Facility.  The commissioners approved the zoning. Planning and Zoning approved the project. The former highway superintendent provided a driveway permit.
  • The MLBC then objected to the driveway permit stating that Ml Blvd was a  “private” road they (MLBC) controlled.  They demanded that IU finish paving the “private” road that borders the IU property (about 300 feet).
  • Note: The land was purchased by the YMCA via a private donation. IU will lease the property from the YMCA. New Facility – IU Health, YMCA

    • Mr. Borgelt donated 4 Million toward the building, on top of the purchase of the land. The IU Health Foundation – 2 Million.
