[0:33] The regular meeting of the Cass County Board of the Zoning [0:35] Fills now opened at 8.30 a.m. on September 28th. [0:41] I am Fred C.A.'s chairman of this meeting for the [0:45] Secretary of State Gropal. [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] The zoning administrator will send you a letter [8:40] with the results of the hearing. [8:42] The decision of the board may be appealed by the petitioner [8:46] or any entered the party to the circuit court [8:49] If I'll do it in 30 days, day-to-day. [8:58] Yeah. [8:59] If [9:04] no, it's doing. [9:15] Make a motion to adjourn. [9:16] No, no, adjourn. [9:17] Okay, I just want to go. [9:18] Okay. [9:24] At one. [9:25] Got a second. [9:35] Beating adjourned.
