[0:48]
Fred C.A.
[0:53]
There are five members and the board of the decision must have three votes to pass.
[1:04]
Members of the board have received copies of the minutes of the last meeting.
[1:07]
Are there any questions or corrections?
[1:12]
Is there a motion to approve the minutes as presented?
[1:15]
No.
[1:16]
Second.
[1:17]
All in favor.
[1:18]
All right, today we will hear one case number 26-13.
[1:26]
Has any board member been in contact with any petitioners, advocates, or opponents in regard to any petition before the board to date?
[1:35]
As proper notification been made, do we have proper verification? All cases on today's topic?
[1:40]
Yes.
[1:41]
We are taking this meeting. All those words you should speak must come to the microphone and state their name and address.
[1:46]
Yes, comments not made at the microphone will not be considered part of the testimony.
[1:52]
This is a quasi-judicial board and must have sworn testimony.
[1:57]
Well everyone who will have something to say during the meeting please rise and raise
[2:01]
your right hand.
[2:05]
I'll stand up.
[2:06]
Yeah.
[2:07]
Okay.
[2:08]
I have to do a stand up and raise your right hand.
[2:10]
I'll have to do a stand up and raise your right hand.
[2:12]
Okay.
[2:12]
Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, if so, at least
[2:19]
stage. Your name and say I do. I do. Carolyn S Stewart. Thank you. And you could say that.
[2:29]
Secretary please read the petition. The petition of Carol Stewart for various
[2:36]
variances from the bell middle standard to bill in attached garage with lesser front yard setbacks.
[2:43]
The property is located at 8670 East Lewisburg Road, Peru, Indiana, 46970, and a zone agricultural.
[2:58]
Does the planning staff have a report and plans for this petition?
[3:01]
So, she's just requesting to fill the attached rod.
[3:06]
It'll just happen unless the front yard is set back.
[3:07]
It's been allowed.
[3:09]
It is zoned agricultural.
[3:11]
control and for front yard on corner loss the front yard shall be all yards
[3:17]
between straight right and right and the building lines and then on our last
[3:23]
there's no rear yard and all yards that are not front yard shall be considered
[3:27]
side yards she's on the corner of Lewisburg Road at 825 East she's proposing
[3:35]
11.67 feet from the property line along Louisburg, the house and the road are at
[3:42]
different elevations, and I flipped this, I don't know why, but Louisburg is
[3:46]
actually down a hill from her house, she sits at my own pictures, and the
[3:52]
driver made the standards toward the 825 East because it wouldn't get any
[3:57]
closer to the road than what the house is, so they would need a variance of 38.33
[4:04]
three feet for the front yard setback towards Lewisburg.
[4:11]
So here's the property in Lewisburg.
[4:14]
This
[4:19]
is the house she wants to build in here.
[4:22]
She does have a survey showing that
[4:32]
the property line
[4:33]
is not where the system is to be lined or real.
[4:40]
So she would be the eight feet or 11.67 feet
[4:45]
from the edge of the road, or from the other side.
[4:49]
So here's the house.
[4:52]
I'm on Lewisburg, and that's our house up there.
[4:59]
So, and then this is at the corner of 825 this way,
[5:04]
and then Lewisburg, and our house is up in there.
[5:16]
Do you have anything ahead to the staff report?
[5:20]
No.
[5:21]
Okay. Any questions from the board?
[5:23]
Anyone
[5:31]
in the audience who would like to ask questions add to information or give evidence in the case.
[5:43]
Any more questions from the board?
[5:45]
Any
[5:48]
written correspondence?
[5:55]
Any more questions or comments from the board?
[5:59]
Does the board have conditions of approval or amendments to attach to the motion?
[6:05]
Yes, that all proposals of the petitioner remain conditions of approval that all other
[6:11]
standards of the ordinance be met, that all acceptable state and local permits be obtained
[6:16]
and approved to be given to the zoning administrator.
[6:23]
That's it.
[6:25]
Does the petitioner agree to abide by these conditions and commitments should the petition be approved?
[6:31]
Yes, I do.
[6:32]
Thank you.
[6:32]
Is
[6:38]
there a motion to bring BZ-826-13 to a vote?
[6:44]
The
[6:46]
Department of Law should vote.
[6:50]
The Secretary should vote.
[6:52]
The discussion is closed.
[8:36]
That's been approved with the conditions.
[8:39]

[8:40]
with the results of the hearing.
[8:42]

[8:46]

Yeah.
[8:59]

[9:15]
