DYER â Residents in Briar Ridge are calling on the town to preserve their investment.Â
During a Dyer Town Council meeting on Thursday, more than a dozen residents from the gated residential community opposed nullifying a town ordinance from 2016 and its late addition to the meeting agenda.
As written, Ordinance No. 2016-21Â states any proposed future changes within Briar Ridge would be considered a major change, resulting in developers needing to submit a new preliminary planned unit development (PUD) plan and supporting data for the Dyer Plan Commission s reconsideration.
As presented, Ordinance No. 2021-06 would amend the 2016 ordinance by taking out a provision that defines major changes separate from Dyer Town Code, and instead use the definitions for minor and major changes as set forth in town code, section 10-131m.Â
