Ind. Decisions - Crown Point annexation feud goes back to court
Reporting on the Court of Appeals decision last Friday in the case, In the Matter of the Annexation Proposed by Ordinance No. 2004-11-38, et al v. Chris Fetcko, et al (see ILB entry here), Diane Krieger Spivak of the Gary Post-Tribune writes today:
CROWN POINT -- The city won a round in its move to annex Liberty Park, but residents of the 60-year-old residential area aren't particularly worried by it.The Indiana Court of Appeals on Friday ruled in favor of the city when it decided that Crown Point had provided an adequate fiscal plan, as required by law in annexation proceedings, regarding the cost of extending city services to Liberty Park.
The matter now goes back to Lake Superior Court Judge Gerald Svetanoff, to whom residents will be able to present their case against annexation.
"The decision was based on a judge's ruling on a technicality, so the original trial will continue," said Chris Fetcko, chairman of the Liberty Park Preservation Committee.
