Arbor Homes pulls Riverview subdivision proposal from next Plan Commission agenda

Arbor Homes’ proposed Riverview housing project appears to be dead.

Following an initial rejection of the proposed 115-lot subdivision near Blue River Memorial Park in Shelbyville, Arbor Homes returned to the Plan Commission last month with the same plan that now included a traffic study.

At the June 28 meeting, Plan Commission president Mike Evans stated Arbor Homes must wait one year to submit another proposal following its rejection that centered on the density of the project and increased traffic around the city’s largest park.

Through consultation with city attorney Jennifer Meltzer, Arbor Homes was allowed on the September meeting agenda to submit the plan again with more information how traffic in the area would be affected.

After much discussion on the legality of the proposal within months of its initial rejection, the proposal discussion was continued to the October meeting so the Plan Commission could gather more information.

The next Plan Commission meeting is scheduled for Oct. 26 at 7 p.m. The meeting agenda is posted on the City of Shelbyville’s website (www.cityofshelbyvillein.com). Under Old Business, the Riverview project is listed but says, “petition has been withdrawn.”

Plan Commission director Adam Rude confirmed Monday morning that Arbor Homes has moved on from Riverview and he did not expect the proposal to return before the Plan Commission.
