An Ad for house in Maxinkuckee Higlands, Apr. 26, 1961 |

1964 - Apr 22 - Town BOard Topics...
Harry Edgington and Charles Edgington, respresenting the developers of Maxinkuckee Highlands, which is a new housing
development located north of Indiana Avenus or Academy Road, which ever you prefer, and west of Old 17 and
bounded on the north by State ROad 10 and 17. proposed that this area be annexed into the corporate limits of
Culver.
It was brought out that in doing so the City of Culver would be required to furnish waterlines, sewer facilities and
sewage accomodations.
THe area in question consists of about 28 acres.
The developers were informed that the Town of CUlver could not furnish these services due to conditions and
contract regulations of the present articles which involver the existing bonded indebtedness of the present
water and sewage department.
Water pressure for the area was discussed which would present a problem, since the area is on very high
ground and a long disttance from the water tower, which lessens the water pressure to the point that it
would be indadequate.
Mr. McFeely stated that to give adequate pressure to that area a booster pump arrangement would have to
be placed on the water line into the area. This would cost approximately $600.
The final agreement reached was that the area would be annexed with these provisions: the developers
provide water, sewer and sewage lines and the city would install a water pressure booster. Thes conditions
must also be approved by the planning commission.
By the May 6, 1964 citizen the area was annexed in accordingly
An agreement betwen the owners of Maxinkuckee Highlands addition was signed by the board. The area
will be annexed into the Town of Culver under these conditions: The owners are to lay all storm
and sewage and water lines in the addition. Sewers are to be large enough to adequately take care
of surface water and seweage.

slowly evovled into more of a buisness disrict. As idicated by the following plat map
