• Poor soil conditions found in the Rum Village Industrial Park are also present in <br />the Sample-Indiana industrial corridor. The muck lands and water table conditions run <br />from the Rum Village Industrial Park on a diagonal from southwest to northeast into this <br />sub-area. Trucking and heavy industrial uses found on the west side of Olive Street also <br />continue into this sub-area. <br />Moving east through the corridor into the Walnut Street-Prairie Avenue sector, <br />the land uses remain the same with large parcels of land devoted to heavier industrial <br />uses, including scrap and salvage yards, warehouse/distribution and wholesalers. Given <br />the type of land uses and the fact that every community needs sections devoted to heavier <br />industries and economic activities that might not match uses within planned industrial <br />and business parks, it is suggested that this area's predominant land use and economic <br />activity remain the same. The sub-area strategy would focus on creating and improving <br />the edges and boundaries of this corridor to protect and screen the adjoining areas. Other <br />elements of the strategy include: improving the internal circulation system by upgrading <br />the street system; removing incompatible land uses; creating incentives or using the <br />police powers of the community to stimulate business and property owners to clean up <br />the worst areas of their land; developing more stringent standards for screening, hours of <br />operation and mitigating the most obnoxious externalities from scrap, salvage, trucking <br />and related activities. <br />Two sites within this sub-area warrant additional discussion. The first site is the <br />• existing Indiana Vocational-Technical College on the 1500 block of West Sample. The <br />second site is the former White Farm manufacturing complex located on Chapin Street. <br />The vocational-technical college's existing facility and site is inadequate for the <br />community's needs. Anew campus is being considered for atwenty-five acre site in the <br />Southeast Neighborhood. Should this plan come to fruition, the adaptive re-use of the <br />current facility and site will become an important element in the planning for this sub- <br />area. <br />The White Farm industrial site within this sub-area contains thirty-five (35) acres <br />and fronts on Chapin Street. This former manufacturing complex has approximately <br />900,000 square feet of manufacturing, warehouse, and office space in a number of <br />buildings. Only two of the buildings could be considered economically and physically <br />viable for purposes of adaptive re-use. These two buildings include the office space <br />currently housing the County Department of Welfare and a 290,000 square foot, five- <br />story warehouse facility. Any plan for the re-use of the complex would require the <br />acquisition and clearance of much of the site. New infrastructure and a revised <br />circulation plan would be required to redevelop the site as an inner-city light industrial <br />area (similar to the Monroe Industrial Park). However, the site has some significant <br />advantages, assuming there are no significant environmental problems. These positives <br />include a central location within the Urban Enterprise Zone; good access to main <br />thoroughfares, including Sample Street, Chapin, and State Road 23; and the possibility <br />for the development of railroad spur lines into the site. All of these factors make the <br />14 <br />
