  Plan Commission member George Stone asked what the timetable is to fill the two vacant posts because O'Dell and Orlich are pulling double duty.
  ...
  According to Stone, it's absolutely essential someone be the point person who keeps the project on track so it gets completed as proposed by Dec. 31.
  
  He recommended convening an advisory group including area business, economic development and Duneland School Corp. representatives to meet separately with a few Plan Commission members rather than try to tackle the plan update at the end of monthly meetings.
  ...
  Said Stone, "My experience is the longer you give a developer, the longer he'll drag it out.

  20 year plan: 900N more realistic boundary for... - [Cached Version]

  At the workshop Wednesday, prompted by Plan Commission President George Stone, the committee agreed by consensus to retrench somewhat.His first suggestion was greeted with quick approval: to draw the southernmost line not at U.S. 6 but at C.R. 900N.As Stone noted, Chesterton has no real interest in adding to its tax base any of the residential subdivisions or mobile home parks which have already been developed along U.S. 6, while most of the land north of C.R. 900N is "a vast amount of empty space."
  ...
  Stone broached one other issue Wednesday: the profound yellowness of the Future Land Use Map, yellow-as it happens-being the color arbitrarily chosen to represent residential use.Stone told members that the committee originally undertook the revision of the Comprehensive Plan as part of an economic development initiative, and to be niggardly in the projection of commercial use would be to defeat the whole purpose of the revision.
  
  With that concern in mind, Stone accordingly made this suggestion: to re-color a chunk of the map purple, for "Business/Industrial."His proposed chunk: an area bordered by Ind. 49 to the east, Meridian Road to the west, C.R. 1050N to the north, and the Indiana Toll Road to the south.
  
  On this occasion, though, the committee thought Stone hadn't gone far enough.In the end they empurpled the map a bit more, by adding one more chunk of land to the west of Stone's proposed chunk: bordered by C.R. 1050N to the north, the Indiana Toll Road to the south, Meridian Road to the east, and Abercrombie Woods to the west.
  
  Stone liked the idea, and said that the additional "Business/Industrial" designation along C.R. 1050N might act as a disincentive to the development in that area of "ad hoc" and piecemeal residential subdivisions.

  Plan Commission President George Stone agreed it's silly if a parcel clearly should be developed as commercial to start as R-1 if annexed.He added that while the Town Council has jurisdiction over annexation, the Plan Commission has an interest in what zoning is assigned.
  
  Added Stone, "I often thought to commit to R-1 always seems to me should be changed.

  George Stone, president of the Chesterton Plan Commission, has never been shy about voicing his dislike of gated communities.
  
  They are, he has lost no opportunity to argue, elitist and undemocratic and as such have no place in the fair Town of Chesterton.On those grounds, moreover, Stone has routinely voted against Estates of Sand Creek (ESC) VI: when it came time, for instance, to endorse the planned unit development ordinance which governs that gated project and more recently when it came time to endorse an amendment to that PUD ordinance.
  
  So at the commission's meeting Thursday, Stone positively bubbled over with gotcha when he thought he'd found a chance to deliver a kill shot to the gates of ESC VI, located south of Porter Ave., west of Friday Road, and north of Sand Creek.
  ...
  But, as Stone noted with something like glee, if ESC VI is gated, then the residents of ESC VII would appear not to have access to their homes.
  ...
  Stone indicated that he would have preferred the other alternative.

  Chesterton Advisory Plan Commission President George Stone assured Roberts that's not the case at all.
  ...
  On both the pavement width and sidewalk matters, said Stone, the Plan Commission approved only what Roberts proposed.No one required him to have a wider road or more sidewalks, stressed Stone.
  
  "This (370 Indian Boundary) plan has not changed in three months," said Stone.
  ...
  Stone acknowledged Roberts did raise his visibility concerns before, but they did not prompt the commission to change its mind.
  ...
  Said Stone, "You did not win that discussion.
  ...
  At one point Roberts told Stone, "I know you and the other people on this board always work for the betterment of the town.I'm not questioning that."
