July 7, 2026 Town of Schererville Plan Commission Meeting

The Town of Schererville Plan Commission held a meeting on July 7, 2026, where they reviewed and approved several development plans and subdivision requests. Key procurement-related discussions included the secondary approval of the US 30 commercial corridor overlay district development plan for Phil's Collision Center, with adjustments to building access as suggested by the commission. Another significant item was the secondary approval of a one-lot institutional subdivision for a new fire station at 143 West Joliet Street, which included waivers related to storm drainage and the addition of a lighting plan and dumpster location. The commission also discussed safety measures such as the potential installation of emergency vehicle warning lights or signage on Joliet and Anna Streets to alert the public during fire truck departures. Motions to approve these plans were passed unanimously, with conditions to keep fees current and to implement engineer-recommended lighting or signage for emergency alerts. Other cases, including Family Express and Apollo Group additions, were also approved without noted procurement issues.
