February 23 APC Meeting Update

Zoning Ordinance 2021-30 condition 4 - (4) That the Preliminary Plat shall be in substantial compliance with the Concept Plan considered with the Rezone, subject to final engineering approval of the Preliminary Plat from the Town.

CONCEPT PLAN CONSIDERED WITH REZONE

PRELIMINARY PLAT (APPROVED FEBRUARY 23, 2026)

DOES THIS LOOK "SUBSTANTIALLY COMPLIANT" TO YOU? Bridge over White Lick Creek is gone.

The subdivision is now two separate parcels.

No traffic flowing directly to 267. East parcel traffic draining to Connection Pointe's private parking lot.

West parcel traffic draining to 800 N. Plat has been substantially altered for what this land was zoned for in 2021.

Anyone comparing the two plans can see significant changes to traffic flow, circulation, and connectivity.

Those changes shift traffic patterns and potential safety impacts onto the surrounding community.

Dear Neighbors,

Tonight the Brownsburg APC approved the plat for Hawk’s Landing.

For those who attended, it was clear the Commission was prepared to approve the plat before the meeting began. The developer, David Weekley Homes, was represented not by their usual representative but by legal counsel. The attorney immediately took control of the meeting and led Plan Commissioners down a trail that ignored our primary argument.

It is worth asking why that shift occurred — and why we repeatedly heard from their attorney and APC members that “this isn’t about zoning.”

That statement is significant. The fact they brought their lawyer is significant. The issue is the zoning ordinance requirements, and they were prepared to ignore those requirements.

When the property was rezoned to R-3 in 2021, the Advisory Plan Commission approved the request with nine specific and binding conditions. One of those conditions requires that any Preliminary Plat remain “in substantial compliance with the Concept Plan considered with the Rezone.”

The Hawk’s Landing plat that was approved tonight is not in substantial compliance with the Concept Plan. Anyone taking a look at the two plats can see this plainly. Bridge over White Lick Creek is gone.

The subdivision is now two separate parcels.

No traffic flowing directly to 267.

East parcel traffic draining to Connection Pointe's private parking lot.

West parcel traffic draining to 800 N. These are not the same plats. They are substantially different.

David Weekley came prepared to distract from our zoning argument. In January, Brownsburg APC staff shared our written zoning concerns with the developer. After learning this, we chose to publish our argument on our website and distribute it widely so the public could review it as well.

You will notice that the zoning issues outlined on our website — and clearly presented by Rachel Bennett during public comment — were not substantively addressed by the Commission. Instead, the discussion repeatedly shifted away from the zoning condition requiring substantial compliance with the original Concept Plan.

Tonight only reinforced our resolve.

We submitted a formal exhibit to each Plan Commission member to ensure the record is preserved for judicial review, and we will be filing that review within 30 days.

We have approached several attorneys already. Please reach out to us immediately if you are ready to donate to our legal cause.

More information will follow. Thank you for your continued support.
