I will call the um July meeting of the board of zoning appeals um to order. I am Lori Jackson and Greg Zinc is over here and over there we have James Moore and our attorney Jake Vissing. You want me to introduce Ronnie too? Okay. And Ronnie's over there. Got it. I think so. First on the docket is 2025-10

and it's an application for standards variance in a residential zone for Joseph and Rhonda daily. Daily daily daily. Okay. Ronnie, you wanna tell something about it or how are we gonna do this? Yeah. So, what we can do is I'll give a a brief little overview. Um, this is a developmental standards variance they're seeking. Um, what I'll do is I I'll go ahead and I'll talk a little bit about the procedure, what they're asking for, and then we'll invite the applicant up to speak and then open the floor up for public comment. Um, so the applicants, uh, Joseph and Rhonda Deli, uh, the properties located at 150 1502 Lake Celinda Road. Um, it's currently in the RR zone, rural residential, uh, under the zoning ordinance. Uh, currently used for residential purposes. Um they are looking to build a 14 by 20 foot garage which will um encroach into the front setback and side setback by 5t each respectively. Um and for that they are seeking a developmental standards variance. Um just a little overview of developmental standards variances. Um the board of zoning appeals um may approve or deny a variance of a developmental uh of developmental standards such as height, bulk, lot size, setbacks or area. Um, a developmental standards variance may be approved uh when such a departure from the developmental standards is not contrary to the public interest and due

to the considerations peculiar to the property would not result um or not the result of actions of the applicant themselves. The literal enforcement of the zoning ordinance would result in an unnecessary and undue hardship. uh and that's from the zoning ordinance itself. And in addition to uh those requirements, uh the Indiana code also sets forth uh three uh criteria uh on which a uh developmental standards variance may be granted only if the board um determines in writing that the approval will not be injurious to the public health, safety, morals, and general welfare of the community. that the use and value of the area adjacent to the property included in the variance will not be affected in a substantially adverse manner and lastly that the strict application of the terms of the zoning ordinance will result in practical difficulties in the use of the property. Um so with that little overview of the facts and procedure we can invite the applicant up to speak. You want to come up and tell us what you want? Just for the if you want to come stand up here your name and address my and your address 1504 Lakes Road. Thank you. So we're love trailing for the mother-in-law and she wants to have a garage at 1502. So it was just uh sent out certified letters, published in favor of the sign, went through the proper channels and spoke following neighbors. No problem. So it's just up to the council to say yay or nay. Okay. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

And I don't see any public that's going to want to come up and talk to us about this. So, um, we'll close we'll close that public hearing that I didn't open, but we'll figure that I opened it and then we'll close it. Um, anybody, any one of my board have any questions to ask the Ronnie? It says the five foot encroachment. So, that still means 30 ft from the high from the road. Yes. Okay. 5T. Greg, you got any questions? I don't have any questions. Okay. Um well, then we'll take a vote, right? Okay. All those in favor? We need a motion and then a second and then a vote. Well, darn it. Yep. Okay. Who would like to make the I'll make a motion that we approve docket number 202510. I second that. There we go. All those in favor say I. I. I. Any opposed? Passes. You're good to go. And you're home before dark. Thank you. You're welcome. Okay. Next on our agenda is docket number 2025-11. Jake, you want to tell us about this or? Um, yes. Have you heard from the applicant? Did they plan to be here this evening? I've never heard anything. Okay. Um, I

I think maybe what we want to do um seeing that no one showed up is perhaps vote to table this to the next meeting um and ensure that the uh the applicants here um we've already noticed a a public hearing for this. Um so by continuing this to the next meeting um you know it'll be considered open here. It won't need to be renoticed. Um, we'll just need to make sure we reflect in the minutes that um, you know, the applicant wasn't here. We've we've decided to continue this to the next uh, to the next meeting. Okay. Please. Okay. Make a motion that we table till the next meeting docket number 2025-11. Due to the fact that the owners was not present at the meeting. I second that. Thank you. All in favor? I I opposed. Okay. Done deal. I believe that's that's all. Um so we don't have any other business. Um then you can invite a motion to close the meeting and a motion in a second and then vote. Okay. Yeah. I think he needs to you need to make that motion. Thank you. I'll second that. All those in favor say I. I. All right. Meeting adjourned. Oh, I told you I'd forget to do that. Did it work? All right.
