May 5, 2026 Plan Commission Meeting

The Town of Schererville Plan Commission held a meeting on May 5, 2026, primarily discussing development plans for two commercial properties along US Highway 41 and US Highway 30. The first agenda item involved the Apollo Group Edition Lot 2, where the petitioner provided updates on floodplain fill approvals from FEMA, plans for four commercial buildings, and associated infrastructure improvements including sanitary sewer and water main extensions, as well as a detention pond designed as a wet retention pond for employee recreation. The commission reviewed environmental considerations related to jurisdictional wetlands and confirmed compliance with wetland regulations. The second item concerned an addition to Phil's Collision Center, a 50x80-foot building to be added to the existing structure without internal connection, with stormwater management plans under review to ensure existing detention ponds can handle runoff. Both projects are in the engineering review phase, with plans to be submitted to town staff for further processing. No formal votes or contract awards were recorded during the meeting, but action items included submitting engineering plans to town staff for review.
