3rd Basin LLC Update
Updated Feb 27, 2025
The Crooked Lake Association and Brian Strahm, through their legal counsel Robert Eherenman of HallerColvin, PC, filed a petition for administrative review with the Natural Resources Commission challenging the issuance of the group pier permit to 3rd Basin, LLC. The matter is now before an administrative law judge and the legal proceedings are expected to take months before a final decision is made on the group pier permit.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
The Steuben County Plan Commission will meet on April 2, 2025 at 5:00 PM in the Auditorium of the Community Center on S. Wayne St. Even though our Association has filed an appeal for the group pier permit issued by the IN DNR, Tom Danford has been working to secure a permit for a new subdivision to be served by these piers. The application is for a MAJOR SUBDIVISION of 32 lots on our third basin. The subdivision is being referred to as "Shores of Crooked Lake". Your Board is asking for a show of support to oppose this proposed county permit on April 2. If you cannot attend in person, you can mail your comments, fax them, or email them.
You will find links below to the 1. Notice of Public hearing, 2. the Primary Development Plan showing the 32 lots, 3. the Steuben County Ordinance regarding this type of Development, and 4. an article from the Indiana Lakes Program regarding the dangers of funneling.
