$1.1M bond, grant might fund street improvements

Crown Point is considering using at least a $1.1 million bond for additional street improvements this year.

City Engineer Tris Miles said the cost of street improvements will only continue to rise, so it's in the city's best interest to do as much as possible while costs are lower.

The city is considering adding traffic signals to the intersections of Indiana Avenue and North Street and Indiana Avenue and Summit Street at a cost of $100,000 for engineering and design. The $500,000 construction cost will come from a grant.

There's also the possibility of adding more streets to the this year's rehabilitation list, which includes repaving. The cost of increasing the list from 10 to about 20 high-priority streets is $400,000.

The city is also considering an enhancement to North Street that would help function as a gateway to the downtown with decorative paving at a cost of $200,000.

May not be a bad idea to improve North Street with the I-65 interchange coming soon.

CP agrees to big box stores at I-65 mall

Developer would dismiss 2006 suit


Bill Dolan - bill.dolan@nwi.com, (219) 662-5328 | Posted: Monday, October 12, 2009 12:45 pm

CROWN POINT | City officials have agreed to permit a shopping mall developer to build three big box stores near Interstate 65 and U.S. 231 to settle a three-year-old lawsuit.

U.S. District Court papers indicate Mayor David Uran has signed a settlement agreement dated Oct. 9 with Lauth Properties that would bind the city to reconsider and eventually approve as much as 475,000 square feet of retail or commercial construction on 56.7 acres southeast of the highway intersection.

Valparaiso lawyer Jon F. Schmoll, who represents the city, said Monday the proposal would give Lauth permission to build three potential anchor stores exceeding 75,000 square feet, but Lauth agrees neither Wal-Mart, Sam's Club nor any other Wal-mart subsidiary would be among those anchors.

Lauth filed suit in 2006 against the city, during the administration of former mayor Dan Klein, after the city enacted an ordinance restricting so called big-box development, when one of the stores proposed for the area was rumored to be a Wal-Mart.

The lawsuit claims the city violated the federal and state constitutions and alleges the decision conflicts with federal and state antitrust laws.

Lauth would dismiss its suit once the city approves the site plan and one or more access points off U.S. 231. The agreement also ensures the city will take steps to create a Tax Increment Financing District that would earmark property taxes generated by the shopping mall to be use to build infrastructure supporting the mall.

48 townhomes become 20 duplexes in revision[/url]

Kathleen Quilligan - kathleen.quilligan@nwi.com, (219) 662-5331 | Posted: Wednesday, October 14, 2009 12:00 am | No Comments Posted


CROWN POINT | A residential development that will be less dense than originally proposed received approval Monday night.

The Crown Point Plan Commission unanimously approved a request from Providence Real Estate to change its proposed Regency development from 48 townhomes to 20 duplex buildings south of 129th Avenue on the entrance road to Youche Country Club. The 543-unit development originally was approved in 2007.

In August, John Borucki, Providence's chief operating officer, said the company altered the planned unit development to meet requests for ranch-style homes, as opposed to more expensive townhomes with more stairs. The starting price for the townhomes was about $300,000, and Borucki said the duplexes likely will begin at $199,000.

Monday night, the commission approved the request with the stipulations that a design not be repeated on the street more than twice and that at least 10 color options be made available.

Commission member Carol Drasga asked if there were plans to offer discounted Youche Country Club memberships to those who bought homes along the golf course. She said in the past there have been issues with homeowners who enjoy the benefits of living adjacent to a golf course but don't have any connection to the course. Borucki said he has been in talks with the country club to offer a social membership as part of the lot price.

"The success of Regency and the success of Youche is tied together," Borucki said.

C.P. hopeful for a solid year of growth

Officials: Being fiscally sound bodes well for city

By Kathleen Quilligan - kathleen.quilligan@nwi.com, (219) 662-5331 | Posted: Sunday, January 3, 2010 12:00 am

CROWN POINT | Mayor David Uran said he's pleased to see how the city fared in 2009.

"2009 is setting us up for a very good 2010. It set up the landscape," Uran said.

The city's 175th anniversary year was filled with time capsule openings, parades, premieres and construction. But what City Councilwoman Laura Sauerman thought was the city's biggest accomplishment was how it handled its money.

"Being financially sound (was important)," Sauerman said. "There's a lot of good foundation laid to being conservative fiscally."

Although the 2009 budget allowed for raises, the 2010 budget doesn't. However, no city employees were laid off.

Like Sauerman, City Councilwoman Carol Drasga thinks the city's financial security is cause for thanks.

"If you look at how some other communities are doing, by no fault of their own, Crown Point is doing well," she said, adding she hopes the city continues to be fiscally responsible and sound in 2010.

Uran said even though the city had to tighten its belt, it was able to reduce the 2009 budget by $1.3 million without laying off anyone, showing how frugal his department heads are.

"That's a good team effort on everybody's part," he said.

He said the city felt the effects of the global economy when Carroll Chevrolet closed its doors in October after almost 90 years in the city. Uran said even if customers had lined up along North Main Street, that would not have affected the dealership's ability to stay open because it was a victim of its parent company's struggles.

Along with events honoring the city's 175th anniversary, Crown Point celebrated its time in the limelight with the summer premiere of "Public Enemies," a film directed by Michael Mann that was shot partially in the city in 2008. It stars Johnny Depp as the notorious bank robber John Dillinger.

Among other key moments was the groundbreaking of the 109th Avenue interchange project at Interstate 65 in early August.

"It's a big part of the future of Crown Point," Uran said.

He also pointed to the Bo Jackson Legacy Athletic Center, a future sportsplex slated to be built just west of Broadway. It will provide a venue for year-round practice of youth sports.

"It's another foundation for the future development of Crown Point," he said.

The new year will bring construction along Broadway that will help the congested corridor, the groundbreaking for the Bo Jackson Legacy Athletic Center and the completion of the 109th Avenue interchange.

Sauerman said she hopes this year will bring strong growth to the city.

"I'm looking forward to continued growth that fits who we are," she said. "The things that are Crown Point. I'm not sure what those things are right now, but we'll know them as they come in."

Uran wants halt to new multifamily housing in C.P.

CROWN POINT | Plans for a 250-unit apartment complex will go back to the drawing board after Mayor David Uran called for a temporary halt to new multifamily housing in the city.

Uran issued the moratorium at the start of a meeting Monday of the Board of Zoning Appeals, where developer KRG/I65 Partners had planned to seek special zoning to permit for the complex at 107th Avenue and Broadway in Beacon Hill.

The temporary halt will provide the time and opportunity for public debate on a city ordinance regulating multifamily housing, which in the past has sparked hostile reaction, Uran said in issuing the moratorium.

"The planning process can thus be brought out into the open for full democratic debate and citizen participation," he said.

KRG/I65 Partners on Monday withdrew its petition seeking a special use in a business zone to permit the apartment complex.

"We had no idea the city was considering something like that," said James Wieser, lawyer for the developer.

Wieser said a renewed look at the city ordinance regulating multifamily housing is welcome, but the developer still believes the project is a good one.

"It is by far the highest and best use of the property," Wieser said. The 25 acres proposed to house the apartment complex currently generates about $1,000 in annual property tax revenue, but could generate far more if it is developed with the housing complex, he said.

Similar projects by the developer in the communities of Carmel and South Bend have "been welcomed by (those communities) with open arms," Wieser said.

And, in an economic downturn with "no development going on in Northwest Indiana, the community needs additional residential development," Wieser said.

A City Council committee is expected to begin looking into the issue within a few weeks, Uran said.

Wieser said the 250-apartment project is a scaled down version of the development. KRG/I65 Partners originally called for a 572-unit complex. Reaction to the proposal prompted the developer to abandon it.


We have enough "multifamily housing" on the boarder at 93rd Ave.

We don't need to attract "Merrillville's problems" further south into the heart of the city.

Karate school jumps to C.P. sports complex

CROWN POINT | A school where local children master karate moves will relocate to the North Street athletic complex after a decade downtown.

City officials and Homann Karate Do owner Brett Homann signed off Monday on a transaction that not only nets the city-owned sports complex its first commercial occupant but clears a hurdle to constructing a planned new Crown Point library.

The karate school building at 120 N. Main St. is next door to the library site and will be razed to make way for green space outside the library and for additional parking.

The city will pay $450,000 for the property, using money from a $2 million bond sale in September, of which $500,000 was for improvements to the future library site.

Homann will plow the proceeds of the sale into constructing a 6,000-square-foot building in the sports complex as the new site for the karate school, Mayor David Uran said.

The 120 N. Main St. building could be razed by June, when construction is expected to begin on the $12 million new library, officials said on Monday.

Homann agreed as part of the deal to not seek a tax abatement at the new location and to remain there for at least five years.

"I look forward to many years of being part of Crown Point," Homann said.

Uran said the karate school "is a perfect fit" in the sports complex, where work is set to get under way on improvements that include new playing fields, restrooms and a concession stand.

As part of the transaction, the Redevelopment Commission agreed to spend $25,000 on "architectural enhancement" of the sports complex site for the karate school.

The $25,000 comes out of a fund created earlier this month to hold money dedicated to improving the sports complex. The commission stipulated that the grant and all future grants from the fund be subject to an as-yet undefined set of criteria.

Broadway prepares for mid-April face-lift

CROWN POINT | Crews have started to relocate utilities along a stretch of Broadway where a $6 million improvement project is due to get under way.

Starting in mid-April, workers will resurface a 3.3-mile section of Broadway and improve intersections at 93rd Avenue, 101st Avenue, Summit Street, 109th Avenue and 113th Avenue. All will get added turn lanes. Officials expect the work to be completed in November.

The goal is to not only to extend the life of the existing pavement for another decade but to accommodate growing traffic volumes, Indiana Department of Transportation spokesman Jim Pinkerton said.

The project is expected to alleviate congestion on Broadway fed by an earlier housing boom in the Crown Point area and intensified by the opening last year of the 109th Avenue interchange at Interstate 65, which feeds traffic onto Broadway.

An April 13 meeting at Crown Point High School is planned where information will be provided to the public, Pinkerton said.

Pinkerton said the work will be done in three phases, starting with the west side of Broadway, also known as Ind. 53, and the western approaches at intersections.

The east side of the road and eastern approaches will be done in the second phase. Improvements at the 93rd Avenue intersection are slated to be done last.

One or more lanes of traffic are to remain open during construction, and access to businesses will be maintained, according to Pinkerton.

Rieth-Riley was awarded the construction contract on the project after coming in with the low bid of $6,074,495.

Developer hopes to bring cancer treatment center to Crown Point

CROWN POINT | The Beacon Hill commercial center developer is seeking $35,000 in city redevelopment dollars as he negotiates to bring a cancer treatment center to the commercial strip at Broadway and 109th Avenue.

Bob Rossman, a partner in I-65 Partners, said the money would be used to reconfigure a parking area to accommodate a Cancer Health Treatment Centers corporate business office and clinic at the site.

Redevelopment Commission members questioned whether the grant to I-65 Partners could set a precedent for other developers seeking redevelopment dollars.

"I don't know where it would stop," member Robert Corbin said.

Commission members agreed to grant the money pending their review of a document to be prepared by the city's legal department detailing the agreement.

According to information Rossman provided to the commission, the nearly $1.5 million cancer treatment center would occupy slightly more than 11,000 square feet of vacant space in the Beacon Hill development.

The treatment center would employ up to 23, including two doctors, three nurses, six lab technicians and 12 support staff, with an average annual payroll of $1.4 million.

Beacon Hill, located in a tax increment financing district, has paid more than $875,000 in incremental property taxes since 2006, officials said.

The $35,000 stipend would act as an incentive to attract Cancer Health Treatment Centers to the site, Rossman said.

The Beacon Hill site would become Cancer Health Treatment Centers headquarters should the company locate there, Rossman said. It is hoped the company's presence would attract other medical related businesses, he said.

Mayor David Uran said the project, "is good for the city."

Crown Point strengthens temporary halt to multifamily housing



CROWN POINT | City officials this week added teeth to a nearly year-old temporary halt on new multifamily housing in the city.

A moratorium issued by Mayor David Uran in an executive order in January 2011 was written into a resolution formally adopted Monday by the City Council.

The resolution adds formal structure to the moratorium by removing uncertainty that the halt would continue only as determined by the mayor, the resolution states.

The move comes as city officials embark on a road intended to permanently tighten regulations on rental units in the city.

The moratorium will remain in place either until dissolved by the City Council, or until officials complete their review, revision and re-codification of existing rules applying to multifamily or nonowner-occupied housing, the resolution states.

Uran said Monday he hopes to put a panel in place composed of landlords, renters and others to begin discussion of possible new regulations.

The City Council ordinance committee plans to begin work early next year to fine-tune a draft of an ordinance establishing a registration and inspection program for rental housing units, and establishing minimum standards for rental housing.

Uran ordered the moratorium last year just as developer KRG/I65 Partners planned to seek special zoning for a 250-unit complex at 107th Avenue and Broadway in Beacon Hill.

The petition for the special use was withdrawn.

Crown Point turns attention to second phase of Sportsplex

By Carrie Napoleon Post-Tribune correspondent December 19, 2011 6:58PM

CROWN POINT — Three men’s regulation softball fields, a senior citizen and recreational facility, parking and an extension of the new Bulldog Boulevard are all part of the concept for the next phase of the city’s Sportsplex.

Monday the Redevelopment Commission paved the way to turn that concept into reality, authorizing the Board of Works and Public Safety to hire DVG Inc. of Crown Point to take the conceptual master plan it developed for the Sportsplex to the next phase so officials can learn what those improvements may cost.

“I think we have all seen the value Phase I brings to the city,” Mayor David Uran said in making the request of the RDC.

The Phase II improvements will allow the city to attract national competitions and tournaments, which will be a plus to local businesses.

Developing the master plan further will allow the city to market the project and perhaps attract another public-private partnership to fund the work, Uran said.

Jeff Van, project engineer with DVG, said the conceptual master plan for the site includes the Phase II improvements as well as a Phase III that will include improvements to the girls’ softball fields.

“We’re excited for the opportunity to work with the city. It’s been a lot of fun,” Van said.

As part of Phase III, the two existing men’s ball fields will remain and the girls’ softball fields will be improved and reconfigured. All work will include parking and paved driveways that lead from one area of the Sportsplex to the other. There will also be walking trails, a river walk along the creek and other amenities.

Phase II work would begin this spring with completion slated for the end of summer. Phase III would begin after the fall softball season and be complete for play in the spring of 2013. Improving one set of fields at a time would allow for cross use in case of construction delays so no play will be interrupted.

Development off interchange showing possibilities

By Susan Erler susan.erler@nwi.com, (219) 662-5336 | Posted: Saturday, December 24, 2011 7:00 am | No Comments Posted

CROWN POINT | Slow in starting, development at Crown Point's newest highway interchange is showing signs of life.

Officials heralded the September 2010 opening of the 109th Avenue interchange off Interstate 65, with Indiana Department of Transportation commissioner calling it "a new future for this part of Northwest Indiana."

Since then, a commercial center on 24 acres has been proposed less than a mile west -- at the 109th Avenue intersection with Broadway, where a service station and a tire store are among possible occupants.

The Beacon Hill commercial development, anchored by a Strack & Van Til store and with more than a dozen other occupants at the Broadway and 109th Avenue intersection, gained a Cancer Health Treatment Centers headquarters this year.

Access to the interchange led owners of a Chicago-area bakery ingredients supply company to eye a site in the Crown East commercial/industrial development just east of Broadway off 109th Avenue, though the company, South Holland Paper Co., has yet to confirm a move from its current location.

A slowing economy in the years since the interchange was planned, at the height of an economic and housing boom in the Crown Point area, hampered efforts to market the location.

"It has all the earmarks of being a successful corridor," said Dan Rohaley, president of the city's Plan Commission. "But the economy's in a sad state."

Mayor David Uran, whose administration recently completed a $3 million first phase of improvements to the city-owned sports complex west of Broadway, where 109th Avenue becomes North Street, remains optimistic.

The recent completion of a $6 million improvement project on a 3-mile stretch of Broadway in Crown Point, and the possibility of a major new east-west highway corridor, the proposed Illiana Expressway to the south, bode well for potential future development at the 109th Avenue interchange, Uran said.

"The Broadway improvements and the Illiana Corridor south of us are going to increase traffic flow to the city," Uran said.

Uran, INDOT official tour highway trouble spots in Crown Point

By Susan Erler susan.erler@nwi.com, (219) 662-5336


CROWN POINT | Mayor David Uran on Friday met with newly named state highway Deputy Commissioner Bob Alderman for a tour of trouble spots on state roads running through the city.

Alderman this week assumed leadership of the LaPorte District of the Indiana Department of Transportation, he said.

"This is an opportunity to see if we can find ways to solve some common problems," Alderman said.

On tap for officials Friday was a look at issues with traffic signals causing backups in some locations on Ind. 55 and 53, known locally as Main Street and Broadway, respectively.

Officials could look into re-timing the lights or adding dedicated turn lanes so vehicles don't sit in traffic, Alderman said.

"Air quality is an issue," he said.

The department expects to resolve the traffic signal issues this summer, Alderman said.

A project in the review stage would place a new traffic signal at 107th Avenue and Broadway, in a joint effort between the city and the Department of Transportation.

A section of U.S. 231 near 113th Avenue, where stormwater pools in heavy rain, was also on the tour itinerary Friday.

Flooding in the area has been a concern for several years, and the issue was raised earlier this month by resident Dick Sauerman at a City Council meeting.

Uran had offered Sauerman assurance the problem will be handled.

This ain't good.

Why attract Norther County's problems?

We already have a single family housing boom.


Mayor lifts moratorium on new multifamily housing in Crown Point

CROWN POINT | Mayor David Uran on Wednesday lifted a nearly 2-year-old ban on new multifamily housing in the city.
Uran said new rules in place for apartment dwellings led to his decision.
"This doesn't mean we will be flooded with petitions" for new multifamily development, Uran said.
Uran issued the moratorium in January 2011 just before a developer was scheduled to seek special zoning for a 250-unit complex at 107th Avenue and Broadway in the Beacon Hill area.
The moratorium was written into a resolution later that year by the City Council.
Rental housing regulations went on the books in June, codifying the annual registration and inspection of rental units and requiring landlords to furnish up-to-date tenant lists, among other requirements.
About 15 registration applications have come into the Planning and Building Department ahead of a Dec. 28 deadline, Building Administrator Christopher Meyers said Wednesday.
