Staff Report
Members of the Culver Plan Commission were surprised to hear that extensive remodeling of condo units had taken place without benefit of securing building permits. Units have been enlarged, rewired, bathrooms added, staircases installed all of which would require an improvement location permit by local and state ordinances.

The commission noted that all reputable contractors were licensed by Marshall County and were aware of requirements by municipalities to secure permits so were concerned that there were no requests on file for these improvements.
Russ Mason, building commissioner, was asked to contact the town attorney with these concerns and proceed accordingly.
In other business, a replat of five lots in the Logansport Settlement, 1870 E. Shore Drive, to two buildable lots was approved.
The subcommittee working on revision of the zoning ordinance has issued a first draft of changes to members for review. The committee meets the third Wednesday of each month and is open to the public.
Mason reported that he had been contacted by a firm interested in securing appropriate land for a food establishment  with drive in capabilities. Possible areas on State Road 10 were discussed but members noted these areas would require a rezoning.
     In the building commissioner's report, Mason said there have been 107 permits issued to date. He issued several fines for construction without a permit and also, advised that a duplex had been created on State Street in an R-1 district. The owners have been notified of the violation.
