A copy in front of Mr. White for signature approval. | 00:00:00 | |
So so with that. | 00:00:03 | |
Items that I have in my possession right now, we will need to. | 00:00:06 | |
Approve this so that we can all sign it so. | 00:00:10 | |
I would entertain a motion to approve this. | 00:00:13 | |
Agreement that we requested in our last meeting. | 00:00:16 | |
As a condition of that approval. | 00:00:20 | |
That's the hold harmless it is. And just for the record, I did draft that. We left blanks for the property owner and applicant to | 00:00:22 | |
fill in. They filled that in. | 00:00:27 | |
They actually did not use the most current version that I sent them, just from a signature standpoint, so the one in your file. | 00:00:32 | |
Said commissioners by mistake. I had updated that. | 00:00:39 | |
So I've now updated again. | 00:00:42 | |
We will take their two signature pages and add them to the 1st 2 pages there. But I had actually drafted that. | 00:00:44 | |
Right. I'll make a motion to approve the consent and invitation and hold harmless agreement. | 00:00:50 | |
OK. We have a motion. Do we have a second I second to? | 00:00:55 | |
Any other discussion? | 00:00:59 | |
Seeing none, all those in favor signify by saying aye. | 00:01:01 | |
Any opposed like sign that motion passes and. | 00:01:04 | |
We will all need to sign this SO. | 00:01:07 | |
You will sign it and we'll move on so. | 00:01:10 | |
Moving from old business into new business the 1st. | 00:01:14 | |
Agenda item this evening sunglasses are messing up, so indulge me. Well, first agenda item this evening's FC-03-25-26A Development | 00:01:18 | |
Standards Variance 06. | 00:01:24 | |
Oh, the agenda has 26. It should be 06. So I do. Thank you. | 00:01:30 | |
I stand corrected FC-03-25-06. | 00:01:36 | |
Nick, do you want to give us the staff report? | 00:01:40 | |
I'm sorry. | 00:01:44 | |
Introduced I'm not sure I've introduced our new staff planner, Ray Devaya. | 00:01:46 | |
Is the new staff minor? He's prepared, the staff reports tonight and. | 00:01:51 | |
Hello everyone. | 00:02:01 | |
First item on the agenda is FC-03-25-06. | 00:02:03 | |
Petitioners Anthony World. | 00:02:09 | |
Location is 8120 Corn Ridge Rd. Waynesville, Indiana 47136. | 00:02:11 | |
Request. | 00:02:16 | |
The applicant is requesting a development standards variance for the placement of an accessory structure. | 00:02:19 | |
In front of the primary structure. The structure is a 4 to 1 by 51 stick bar. | 00:02:23 | |
With a height of 23 feet. | 00:02:27 | |
The applicant indicated that it will be used to storm his vehicle for vehicles and his proposed be placed adjacent to the existing | 00:02:29 | |
driveway. | 00:02:33 | |
It's zoned Arkansas. | 00:02:36 | |
I'll go ahead and get into it. | 00:02:41 | |
Our ordinance states that necessary surgery shall be located to the rear. | 00:02:45 | |
Or side of the primary structure unless otherwise permitted. | 00:02:50 | |
In this ordinance. | 00:02:53 | |
Section structures used for barns and private garages may be allowed in front of the primary structure and they are district with | 00:02:56 | |
five acres. | 00:02:59 | |
Or greater. | 00:03:02 | |
Barns and private garages shall meet front set back requirements for. | 00:03:03 | |
Primary Structures. Primary structures be located on a parcel with an existing legal, not conforming accessory structure. | 00:03:07 | |
May be located to the rear of the existing legal conforming accessory structures. | 00:03:14 | |
The current primary structure is located near the rear of the property. | 00:03:19 | |
Closer to the northwest western portion of the lot. | 00:03:23 | |
The lot is 2.36 acres and is assessed by a drive connecting the Corner Ridge Rd. | 00:03:26 | |
Primary building is set back 363 feet from the road, while the accessory structure the position 75 feet from primary building and | 00:03:30 | |
247 feet from Horn Ridge Rd. | 00:03:34 | |
Adjacent Properties The surrounding properties are also zoned agricultural residential. Single family residences occupied the | 00:03:40 | |
properties regularly to the north, east and South. | 00:03:43 | |
All the property to the West is used as a pet grooming and boarding facility. | 00:03:48 | |
The applicant had commenced construction of the accessory structure prior to being issued a building permit, which resulting in | 00:03:52 | |
staff issuing a stop work order. | 00:03:55 | |
Currently the concrete slab for the stick barn. | 00:03:58 | |
Wood framing has been erected. | 00:04:01 | |
The stick barn is large enough that it obscures large portion of the primary structure. | 00:04:02 | |
Our zoning orange defines an accessory structure as a building per use of ordinate to another. | 00:04:06 | |
Structure or use located along the same lot which does not change or alter the character of the premise and which is not used for | 00:04:11 | |
human occupancy. | 00:04:14 | |
Public utility communication, electric, gas, water and sewer lines. | 00:04:17 | |
That supports an incidental. | 00:04:22 | |
Equipment. | 00:04:24 | |
So the placement of the proposed accessory structure in front of the primary structure will make the primary structure subordinate | 00:04:25 | |
to the accessory structure. | 00:04:28 | |
As it does not take precedence. | 00:04:32 | |
In appearance, the placement and visibility of the accessory structure overshadows the primary structure. | 00:04:34 | |
Applicant received site approval for the structure as well As for shed, which is slightly larger than the stick mark, 40 feet by | 00:04:39 | |
66 feet. | 00:04:42 | |
Health department staff asked after asking why he did not or could not place the stick warrant. | 00:04:45 | |
Where the shed is to be located, he stated that he intends to use the stick barn for. | 00:04:50 | |
Storing his vehicle. | 00:04:54 | |
Cannot place it there because underground safety lines. These are the proper primary structure would prevent him from laying | 00:04:56 | |
gravel for the driveway. | 00:04:59 | |
Staff spoke with Nicholas Hogg with the Floyd County Health Department. He confirmed that any extra compaction such as gravel or | 00:05:03 | |
asphalt. | 00:05:06 | |
Top Pacific lines could lead to unnecessary action, impossible failure. | 00:05:10 | |
Mr. Hogg stated that as long as the State Farm was not placed atop the septic lines, moving the structure should not be a problem. | 00:05:14 | |
Seeing that the applicant had already commenced construction of the structure before going through the proper channels, this is a | 00:05:19 | |
self-imposed hardship. | 00:05:22 | |
A stick barn is more of a desire rather than necessity for the applicants use of the property, especially considering that they | 00:05:26 | |
seem to have adequate sway space for parking the vehicles in the driveway. | 00:05:30 | |
So I'm not going to. | 00:05:34 | |
Number one, the approval will not be injurious to the public health safety rules of general welfare of the community. | 00:05:40 | |
The location of the structure in front of the primary structure when I inhibit the provision of emergency services to the existing | 00:05:45 | |
structure or neighboring properties. | 00:05:49 | |
To the use of value in the area adjacent to the property included and the variance will not be affected the substantial. | 00:05:53 | |
Substantially adverse. | 00:05:58 | |
Although the use may remain unchanged. | 00:06:00 | |
The stick barn would obscure a significant portion of the home, potentially impacting aesthetic and character, which could in turn | 00:06:02 | |
negatively affect neighboring property values. However, a large stick barn could increase the properties value as well as that of | 00:06:07 | |
surrounding properties if placed in a more suitable location. | 00:06:12 | |
#3 The strict application of the terms of the zoning ordinance will result in practical difficulties in the use of the property. | 00:06:17 | |
Zoning ordinance permits garages and barns in front of Primary church properties zone Arkansas if they are 5 acres for greater | 00:06:23 | |
this parcel is less than half of that. | 00:06:27 | |
Henceforth. | 00:06:31 | |
The practical difficulties are. | 00:06:32 | |
One lateral line placement superior the placement of the structures this side of the primary structure. | 00:06:33 | |
To the property does not meet the minimum. | 00:06:38 | |
Acreage requirements to have the stick, warned police and from the primary structure. | 00:06:40 | |
Three, the eastern portion of the home does not have outward space to accommodate the structure. | 00:06:43 | |
And for a state in the application applicant. | 00:06:48 | |
Cannot build at the rear of the property due to flooding and limited space. Furthermore due to the stick barns intended useful | 00:06:50 | |
garage or for car storage. | 00:06:54 | |
There would be inaccessible due to septic lines preventing gravel from being laid. | 00:06:59 | |
Because the applicant intensive storage vehicle inside of the structure and space is limited due to septic lines east of the | 00:07:03 | |
property or east of the driveway. | 00:07:07 | |
And flooding at the rear of the lot. The only feasible location for the structure is near the front of the property. | 00:07:10 | |
The variance does not involve the structure that is near. | 00:07:16 | |
Airstrip and regulated under Indiana Code 8-21-2. | 00:07:19 | |
So staff recommendations are relocate the stick barn South of the step appliance to prevent. | 00:07:24 | |
Securing the primary structure, ensuring it meets only Wardens restrictions. | 00:07:29 | |
Provide site plan with a new location. | 00:07:33 | |
Maintain wooded or vegetative screening of Stick Martin from Cordon Ridge Rd. | 00:07:35 | |
And provide side approval. | 00:07:39 | |
For construction of new locations from the Floyd County Health Department to ensure it doesn't interfere with. | 00:07:41 | |
Set declines. | 00:07:46 | |
Got a question the? | 00:07:49 | |
The height of 23 feet is that the total height of the building? Is that the? | 00:07:51 | |
The Eve peak. | 00:07:56 | |
Peak. OK, All right. | 00:07:58 | |
Any other questions for staff? | 00:08:01 | |
Thank you, Rick. | 00:08:05 | |
OK, is the applicant or representative for the applicant here? | 00:08:08 | |
If so, please come forward and state your name and address for the record. | 00:08:11 | |
Anthony Barrel, 8120 Cordon Ridge Rd. Lanesville, IN 47136. | 00:08:16 | |
OK, Mr. Barron, you've heard the staff report this evening. | 00:08:22 | |
Would you like to share any other thoughts or comments? Yeah, I discussed it with him in regards to moving it up on the hill. | 00:08:26 | |
And where he said he would like to have it. | 00:08:33 | |
It would be another 100 feet away, just 100 feet. | 00:08:36 | |
That 100 feet will cost me $135,000. | 00:08:40 | |
Because in order for the. | 00:08:43 | |
Building to be moved. | 00:08:45 | |
That Hill's got to be cut out, cut down major excavation work. | 00:08:47 | |
Poured walls, poured floor. | 00:08:51 | |
And that's not a good and gravel. | 00:08:54 | |
So the cost of this thing to do this? | 00:08:56 | |
Is going to be way above my pay grade. | 00:08:59 | |
So. | 00:09:02 | |
For the last 30 years that I've lived there. | 00:09:04 | |
I went without this building. | 00:09:07 | |
And I mean, I want to put it up because the hail damage that we just had, I just lost $75,000 worth of automobile insurance | 00:09:10 | |
claims. | 00:09:13 | |
I want my garage. | 00:09:19 | |
But I can't put. | 00:09:20 | |
$130,000 to put it up on a hill. | 00:09:22 | |
Let alone the fact that I'm going to have to walk. | 00:09:25 | |
100 yards out to it. | 00:09:28 | |
And 100 yards back. | 00:09:29 | |
To do to go to work. | 00:09:32 | |
So it's not it's not feasible. | 00:09:34 | |
In my eyes to put it up on the hill. | 00:09:38 | |
The flooding that I have to contend with that goes through there when we have heavy rains. | 00:09:41 | |
And I don't know if he'd give you pictures. He showed you pictures. | 00:09:46 | |
I mean, I deal with that. | 00:09:49 | |
But I mean it's. | 00:09:51 | |
I don't want to get, I don't want to put this thing up there and then I still got to walk through the mud and the water to get up | 00:09:53 | |
to my garage to go to work. | 00:09:57 | |
So it's not. | 00:10:00 | |
That's not feasible to do that. | 00:10:02 | |
I'm confused where you're trying to say you're. I'm sorry. I can't hear you. My hearing is gone. Welcome here, man. Get your | 00:10:04 | |
button. | 00:10:07 | |
It's on green. So where are you? Where are you saying you you would have to dig. They would have to cut this whole hill out. And | 00:10:11 | |
these are. | 00:10:14 | |
Mature grown trees. I've grown them. | 00:10:18 | |
For the last 30 years so I don't want to cut out my mature tree. | 00:10:20 | |
But they want to start it. | 00:10:24 | |
Right here, it's 100 yards. | 00:10:25 | |
100 feet from the corner of that building to the corner where they would start the other. | 00:10:28 | |
And this would all have to be all cut out landscape. Well, the way he's with the way he's worded what I've got, it just says it | 00:10:32 | |
has to be South of these lateral lines. | 00:10:37 | |
He's not saying it has to be all the way up here. It could be right in here. | 00:10:41 | |
Well, I can't. If I put it right here, that's right in where that major flooding comes through with the river. | 00:10:45 | |
That's why I said I'm kind of landlocked with all the water. | 00:10:51 | |
I thought the water issue was back here in the back. | 00:10:54 | |
I don't want my phone on me. You got the pictures? I've seen the water pictures. Yeah. That all comes from this backside off of | 00:10:58 | |
this hill and that all runs down and washes all down 3 here. That's why it runs right like that. Could could you sketch on that? | 00:11:02 | |
Where the. | 00:11:06 | |
Could you sketch on that where the water runs? | 00:11:11 | |
I'm sorry, could you sketch on? | 00:11:13 | |
Sketch on that diagram where the water. | 00:11:16 | |
That's why I put in the additional catch kit address. | 00:11:25 | |
Underneath the driveway because it's washing it out so many times. | 00:11:28 | |
I mean, I'm. | 00:11:33 | |
Can you go back to the microphone now please? Sorry. | 00:11:34 | |
Where's this water at? But that's why I put in that big catch pit. | 00:11:39 | |
And it was full the other day when we got the water. | 00:11:43 | |
And a secondary one. It was used before. | 00:11:46 | |
It it was kind of when it was originally put in, it was put in the wrong place. | 00:11:50 | |
But even it. | 00:11:54 | |
Caught a lot of water too. | 00:11:56 | |
So that's where I'm at with it. | 00:11:59 | |
Other questions? | 00:12:10 | |
Mr. Barrel. | 00:12:11 | |
Why is a? | 00:12:13 | |
How come they? | 00:12:14 | |
The slab for the new building is not parallel. | 00:12:15 | |
I can't hear you. Why is it not parallel to the house? | 00:12:18 | |
Because that's where you got to state the microphone, sorry. | 00:12:21 | |
If I put it parallel with the house, it's going to be right in the middle of top my ladder roll it lateral line. | 00:12:24 | |
And it's going to be if you put it off to the side. | 00:12:30 | |
Up on the property line, I'm still going to deal with the water drain off that runs through there. Well where it is now, but it's | 00:12:33 | |
it's kind of twisted. We had a cornered it to get the most out of it we could get. | 00:12:39 | |
And I can still sit in my living room, watch, watch my front yard. | 00:12:44 | |
That's what he's ******** about. | 00:12:48 | |
Have to dig in those hillside. | 00:12:49 | |
Well. | 00:12:53 | |
So basically the water that you're talking about is flooding comes down to driveway, is that correct? It comes through the yard | 00:13:01 | |
and floods across here right there at the base of that turn around where you can see the cut out. | 00:13:07 | |
But to the right. | 00:13:16 | |
To the right hand side of the property, standing on on the road. | 00:13:18 | |
If you would place that, that would be in the floodplain. | 00:13:22 | |
It's the higher ground. It's higher. You just, you just said you had, you just said you had to cut it down. So if you have to cut | 00:13:26 | |
it down, that's higher ground. | 00:13:30 | |
Yeah, I got. | 00:13:34 | |
Here's the 12 foot 14 foot difference from. | 00:13:37 | |
Where the driveway is, you'd be going up like this. | 00:13:40 | |
Well, we were out there today. It's not that steep and we were there today, it's not that steep. I think the the barn can be | 00:13:43 | |
relocated to the area. | 00:13:48 | |
Without a lot of difficulties. So it's going to take a lot of difficulties and a lot of money. | 00:13:52 | |
Well, money is not our issue on the board, OK, We don't take a look at that. We don't make a decision where you. | 00:13:58 | |
Put your building and how much money you spend. That's your decision to build a building, not ours. We approve the location where | 00:14:05 | |
you put it, and that's what we're here for. | 00:14:09 | |
To put it up on that hill is not cost effective #1. | 00:14:14 | |
And #2 I'm still going to have to walk through. | 00:14:19 | |
And contend contend with the water that when it floods through there. | 00:14:22 | |
To get to the call. | 00:14:26 | |
Mr. Barry. All right, I have a question. | 00:14:28 | |
Can you help us understand? | 00:14:32 | |
How you got so far along in the construction process before you requested a permit? | 00:14:34 | |
Well, I requested, I went to the health department and I got approval because I was told to do that. | 00:14:39 | |
And then the gentleman, the health department, I never done this before. | 00:14:45 | |
I never done this building anything like this before. | 00:14:49 | |
And I put this concrete pad in. | 00:14:52 | |
With the intentions of I needed additional parking. | 00:14:56 | |
And that's why I did it, because I did not have parking. | 00:15:00 | |
So I put the pad in when I put the pad. | 00:15:03 | |
Had and I overbuilt the pad. | 00:15:05 | |
And I exceeded what? | 00:15:07 | |
Codes would require because I thought well maybe later on. | 00:15:09 | |
If I end up doing something with this, it would be ready not so I'm going to. | 00:15:13 | |
But say maybe I do. | 00:15:18 | |
Well, I didn't know that I had to have a building permit. I thought it was a one stop shop. | 00:15:20 | |
And when the guy says no, you're good, we're good with it, I said OK. | 00:15:27 | |
So the guy had an opening to put up the barn. | 00:15:31 | |
And I said, well, I got the permit for this. | 00:15:35 | |
I don't know if anything else. So I started and that's what happened. | 00:15:39 | |
There was a communication issue. | 00:15:42 | |
Because the health department didn't tell me. | 00:15:45 | |
You got to go to the building department. | 00:15:49 | |
The building department. | 00:15:51 | |
Is over here on the other side of town. Everybody said go to the health department, get your permits. | 00:15:52 | |
So that's where I went. | 00:15:57 | |
So do you have someone building this for you or you? I have it. I have a contractor that started this. | 00:15:58 | |
And then he said you have your permits and I was under impression I did. | 00:16:05 | |
That's when he started, that's when they got and then I got a notice of stop work immediately and. | 00:16:09 | |
Threw their guys into the tailspin area and. | 00:16:15 | |
The whole deal and. | 00:16:18 | |
And that's where it's been standing now for the last. | 00:16:19 | |
48 days. | 00:16:22 | |
It's just basically the stick structures and it's not a pole barn, it's an actual stick structure. | 00:16:25 | |
And it's just temporarily. | 00:16:32 | |
You know. | 00:16:34 | |
Up there. | 00:16:36 | |
So it's waiting for trusses and. | 00:16:38 | |
Outside material and then it would be. | 00:16:40 | |
OK. It would be pretty well done. So when was the first time you you were made aware that? | 00:16:43 | |
That you needed. | 00:16:49 | |
The date that I got the violation. | 00:16:52 | |
No, no, it's OK. We're we know when that was. I just wasn't sure trying to clarify. | 00:16:54 | |
That's when the building, the people come out and give me a stop, work immediately and. | 00:16:59 | |
Sent people home and. | 00:17:04 | |
Or I come down here and found out what I had to do, what I. | 00:17:06 | |
That's why I did. | 00:17:11 | |
Stop right there, OK? | 00:17:12 | |
Is there any other questions from the board? | 00:17:15 | |
When I was out there today. | 00:17:18 | |
I saw it. | 00:17:20 | |
Looked like some kind of construction equipment in your shed and a big auger over on your side. | 00:17:22 | |
Those are not mine. | 00:17:28 | |
They're not yours. Those are not mine. | 00:17:29 | |
Those are my boys. They're not mine. I don't. I'm an aircraft inspector for EPS. | 00:17:32 | |
That's those are not mine. | 00:17:36 | |
So. | 00:17:38 | |
You're not currently are planning to run a business out of this building? | 00:17:39 | |
No. Any answer to that is no. | 00:17:44 | |
I want a boat. | 00:17:48 | |
By the way, so. | 00:17:49 | |
I want to vote, Sir. I want to go fishing. We'll give you chase. Speak in a minute. | 00:17:51 | |
OK. | 00:17:56 | |
I have no other questions. | 00:18:01 | |
Any other questions for the applicant? | 00:18:03 | |
Thank you, Mr. Barrow. | 00:18:05 | |
Thank you. | 00:18:07 | |
OK. So we've heard from the staff, we've heard from the applicant. | 00:18:09 | |
We're going to close those commentary sections of the meeting and go to anyone else here who would like to come forward and speak | 00:18:13 | |
in favor of this request this evening. | 00:18:17 | |
Please come forward, state your name and address for the record. | 00:18:22 | |
How's everybody doing tonight? | 00:18:26 | |
My name is Michael Merrill. I'm the son. | 00:18:28 | |
Of Anthony Barrel here. | 00:18:31 | |
My father, he's wanting to put up this. | 00:18:33 | |
Building. | 00:18:36 | |
State your address first, please. 425 Hummingbird Heights, Cordon, Indiana. | 00:18:37 | |
So I grew up in that house. So I grew up, moved away quite some time ago. | 00:18:46 | |
My father the only reason why he built this garage and obviously there was miscommunication with the. | 00:18:51 | |
Contractors and whatnot. | 00:18:57 | |
The main was. | 00:19:00 | |
He got cancer over a year ago. | 00:19:01 | |
And he's been an aircraft mechanic his entire life. | 00:19:04 | |
He bought a bass boat. | 00:19:08 | |
As his retirement. | 00:19:09 | |
That is what the man wanted, was Basspoke. | 00:19:11 | |
They wanted that building next to this house so he could place his boat into this building. | 00:19:14 | |
He didn't want it out too close to the road. Obviously it's a very. | 00:19:18 | |
Expensive bass boat. | 00:19:22 | |
He wanted it there where he could go out to it. | 00:19:24 | |
He has a handicap. | 00:19:27 | |
And he can only walk so far. His knees have already given out on him. | 00:19:29 | |
He put a back door where this location is. | 00:19:34 | |
On this building so he could go into it and easily access it. | 00:19:37 | |
And walk back out. | 00:19:41 | |
You know, with the equipment, those the skid steers, the excavator, those are mine. It's just I'm in the process of locating a or | 00:19:45 | |
a. | 00:19:49 | |
A place to rent? | 00:19:53 | |
To put this equipment. | 00:19:55 | |
Those are all mine so. | 00:19:56 | |
But no business of any sort ran out of there. | 00:20:00 | |
Majority time there's nobody home. Be honest with you. | 00:20:04 | |
So. | 00:20:07 | |
But like you guys. | 00:20:10 | |
Thank you. | 00:20:12 | |
Anyone else here this evening to speak in favor of this request? | 00:20:14 | |
Seeing none, we will close that section of the meeting and we will open the microphone up to anyone who would be here this evening | 00:20:19 | |
to speak in opposition. | 00:20:23 | |
Is there anyone here that would like to speak in opposition to this request? | 00:20:27 | |
OK, seeing none. | 00:20:33 | |
We will. | 00:20:36 | |
Close the public comment section. Do we have a ballot? | 00:20:37 | |
Yes, I do have a ballot. | 00:20:42 | |
Development standards variance balance. Floyd County Board of Zoning Appeals, Docket FC-03-25-06. | 00:20:47 | |
After careful review, the board finds that the approval of the variance will not. | 00:20:56 | |
Be a jurist to the public. | 00:21:01 | |
Health, safety, morals and general welfare of the community because the location of structure is. | 00:21:03 | |
In front of the primary structure? Well, not. | 00:21:09 | |
Have it the provisions of emergency services. | 00:21:12 | |
To the existing structure neighboring properties #2. | 00:21:16 | |
The use and value of the area adjacent to the property included in the variance will not. | 00:21:20 | |
Be affected in substantially adverse manner because. | 00:21:26 | |
Although the use. | 00:21:30 | |
Although the use, excuse me, may remain unchanged, the stick barn would obscure a significant portion of the home, potentially | 00:21:31 | |
impacting. | 00:21:36 | |
The aesthetics and character, which could in turn negatively affect neighboring property values. | 00:21:40 | |
However, a large stick barn could increase the property's values as well as that of surrounding problems it placed in the more | 00:21:45 | |
suitable location. | 00:21:50 | |
The strict application of the terms of the zoning ordinance will. | 00:21:54 | |
Result in practical difficulties in the use of the property because the zoning ordinance. | 00:21:57 | |
Permits, garages and barns in front of. | 00:22:03 | |
Of a primary structure for property zoned Arkansas if they're. | 00:22:05 | |
5 acres or greater. | 00:22:09 | |
This parcel is less than half of that there henceforth. | 00:22:10 | |
The practical difficulties are. | 00:22:13 | |
Lateral line placement, perhaps the placement of the structure to the side of the primary structure. | 00:22:16 | |
The property does not meet the minimum acreage requirement to have the stick barn placed in front of the primary structure. | 00:22:21 | |
The eastern portion of the home does not have adequate space to accommodate the structure. | 00:22:27 | |
As stated in the application, the applicant. | 00:22:32 | |
Cannot build. | 00:22:34 | |
At the rear of the property due to the flooding and limited space. | 00:22:36 | |
Furthermore, due to the stick Barnes intended use for car stores, the area would be inaccessible due to septic lines preventing. | 00:22:39 | |
Gravel. Gravel from being laid. | 00:22:48 | |
Because the applicant intends to store his vehicles inside of the structure and space is limited due to septic lines east of the | 00:22:51 | |
driveway and flooding it through the lot, the only feasible location for the structure is near the front of the property. | 00:22:58 | |
The variance. | 00:23:07 | |
The variance does not involve a structure that is near an airstrip and regulated. | 00:23:09 | |
Under the code. | 00:23:14 | |
8-21-10 There is not an airstrip in the vicinity. | 00:23:16 | |
The zoning Board. The Board of Zoning. | 00:23:21 | |
Appeals hereby denies. | 00:23:24 | |
The Petitioner. | 00:23:27 | |
Variance on the meeting held on the 14th day of. | 00:23:29 | |
April. | 00:23:33 | |
2025. | 00:23:34 | |
The approval by the Board is subject to the completion of the following conditions. | 00:23:36 | |
Relocate the stick barn South of the septic lines to prevent obscuring the primary structure. | 00:23:43 | |
Ensuring it meets zoning ordinance restrictions. | 00:23:48 | |
Provide site plan with new location. | 00:23:52 | |
Maintain wooded or vegetation vegetative. | 00:23:55 | |
Screening of stick. | 00:23:58 | |
Stick Barn from Cordon Ridge Rd. | 00:24:00 | |
Provide site approval for construction of new location from the Floyd County Health Department. | 00:24:03 | |
To ensure. | 00:24:08 | |
It doesn't interfere with the septic lines. | 00:24:10 | |
That's my ballot. | 00:24:13 | |
So just for a point of clarification. | 00:24:15 | |
You actually are wanting to grant the variance request and that you're going to allow him to. | 00:24:17 | |
Build it in front of the primary structure, but with the condition that it be relocated further east. | 00:24:23 | |
And yeah. | 00:24:30 | |
You're correct. | 00:24:31 | |
You are correct. | 00:24:33 | |
Thank you. Thank you. | 00:24:35 | |
Yeah. | 00:24:37 | |
I'll second that motion. | 00:24:38 | |
OK. So we have a ballot and we have a second. Do we have any other questions? | 00:24:40 | |
Of the board. | 00:24:44 | |
OK, see none. All those in favor signify by saying aye. | 00:24:47 | |
Any opposed like sign? | 00:24:50 | |
The motion passes. | 00:24:52 | |
Passes. Thank you folks. | 00:24:53 | |
I did. | 00:24:56 | |
OK. | 00:24:59 | |
You have to move the building. | 00:25:03 | |
We're going to move on. | 00:25:07 | |
While they're having their side discussions, so second agenda item this evening is FC-03-25-07. | 00:25:08 | |
Another development standards variance and I believe Ray is going to come forward and give us the staff report. | 00:25:18 | |
The petitioners. | 00:25:25 | |
Martha Edelman. | 00:25:26 | |
Location is 3421 Georgetown Regal Rd. Georgetown, IN 47122. | 00:25:28 | |
Applicant is requesting oh sorry it's zoned agricultural residential AR. | 00:25:35 | |
The applicant is requesting the development standards variance to replace our existing manufactured home with a new one that is | 00:25:39 | |
smaller than the minimum required 950 square feet. | 00:25:43 | |
The post structure will be 840 square feet will be built on the same footprint as the previous home. | 00:25:48 | |
Lot is 6.92 acres and is accessed by a drive connecting to Georgetown Greenville Rd. | 00:25:53 | |
The home is obscured and is situated further down the road than the primary modular home which lots of applicants son. | 00:25:58 | |
Water hookup acceptable remain the same. The sewer line will also be. | 00:26:04 | |
Connected to the existence you're on. | 00:26:08 | |
The applicant said that she had been living in the home since 1980 and that their current home is 50 years old. | 00:26:11 | |
Dilapidated, it'll be costly to repair. She's proposing building a new home. | 00:26:16 | |
Adjacent Properties All surrounding properties are also zoned AR. The properties to the West, South and N are single family | 00:26:20 | |
residences with the church located further West of the home adjacent to the property. | 00:26:25 | |
I'm going to go to the narrow statements. | 00:26:31 | |
The approval will not be injurious to the public health, safety, morals and general welfare of the community. The replacement will | 00:26:34 | |
have no. | 00:26:37 | |
Negative impacts. | 00:26:40 | |
The use and value of the area adjacent to the property, including the variance, will not be affected in the substantially first | 00:26:42 | |
manner. | 00:26:45 | |
Replacement structure will likely increase the value of their and adjacent properties as applicants stated that the current | 00:26:48 | |
structure is dilapidated and any different repairs for replacement. | 00:26:52 | |
The strict application of the terms the zoning ordinance will result in practical difficulties. | 00:26:57 | |
In the use of the property, Arkansas development standards prohibit structures with a minimum ground floor area of less than 950 | 00:27:01 | |
feet. The proposed structure is about 110 feet smaller than that. Thus, the practical difficulties that she will be, she will not | 00:27:06 | |
be able to replace the deteriorating structure. | 00:27:11 | |
At the strict application of the terms of the zoning ordinance are applied and the owners on the fixed income and she needs in | 00:27:15 | |
their own. | 00:27:19 | |
There's not a nurse trip in the vicinity. | 00:27:22 | |
And there are no staff recommendations, but I didn't know that the BCA has previously approved the similar application. | 00:27:25 | |
FC-03-24. | 00:27:31 | |
Dash 06, at which the applicant requested the developments. There's variance replacing dilapidated manufacturing home with a new | 00:27:34 | |
one that was smaller than the minimum required. | 00:27:37 | |
50 square feet. | 00:27:42 | |
OK, so we have. | 00:27:46 | |
Heard from staff, any questions? | 00:27:47 | |
OK. | 00:27:51 | |
We will move right into the next phase. Is the applicant or representative of the applicant here? | 00:27:52 | |
If so, please come forward, state your name and address for the record. | 00:27:58 | |
Martha. | 00:28:05 | |
3421 Georgetown Greenville Rd. | 00:28:06 | |
Georgetown, IN. | 00:28:09 | |
All right, miss you and thank you for being with us this evening. | 00:28:11 | |
I think what you're asking for seems pretty. | 00:28:15 | |
Cut and dry. Is there anything else you'd like us to know or we need to know about your request? No, I just don't pray I get it. | 00:28:17 | |
Do any of the board members have any questions from this evening? | 00:28:24 | |
What's the timing? What what do you see the timing when we? | 00:28:28 | |
Forgetting this, Yeah. When? When will the work take place? When you swap it out? | 00:28:32 | |
When you are approved me and I get the building permit. | 00:28:36 | |
The Joe from Clayton's is here with me also. So your intent is to go right along with it right away? Yeah, OK. | 00:28:40 | |
Any other questions? | 00:28:48 | |
Thank you, Miss Eagle. | 00:28:51 | |
Thank you. | 00:28:52 | |
OK. We've heard from the applicant. Is there anyone else here this evening that would like to come forward to speak in favor of | 00:28:54 | |
this application? | 00:28:57 | |
Come forward, state your name and address for the record. | 00:29:00 | |
I'm Joker with Clayton Homes. | 00:29:02 | |
And one of the main things is with calls at home to dilapidate, it's it's got moisture underneath of it. And we get that over now | 00:29:06 | |
everyone build that ground up. | 00:29:10 | |
Put proper foundation under. It needs to be underneath there. | 00:29:14 | |
Needed me to go to structure. | 00:29:17 | |
Vinyl home vinyl windows. | 00:29:20 | |
I love the woman. Get done. | 00:29:22 | |
All right. Any other questions for Mr. Crew? | 00:29:26 | |
Thank you, Mr. Crew. You're welcome. | 00:29:30 | |
Is there anyone else here this evening would like to speak in favor of this? | 00:29:33 | |
Come forward and state your name and address for the record. | 00:29:37 | |
I'm James Irvin, 3411 Georgetown, Greenville Rd. Georgetown, IN. | 00:29:40 | |
I'm her son. I live right front over. | 00:29:45 | |
I didn't. I didn't hear no dates on this house, but. | 00:29:48 | |
They put this house here in 1989. | 00:29:50 | |
And it was at least 15 years. | 00:29:53 | |
For that so. | 00:29:55 | |
Definitely got the money's worth out of it. It's time for that one to go. | 00:29:57 | |
Sure, we're done. We replaced all the floors and it's time to start doing it again. | 00:30:01 | |
We've shipped the roof twice. | 00:30:06 | |
Needs updated by. | 00:30:09 | |
So that's how I didn't hear no day. So I just wanted to know the age of this. I was just in the 70s. It was born when I was. | 00:30:10 | |
Thank you. | 00:30:19 | |
Is there is there anyone else here this evening that would like to speak in favor? | 00:30:22 | |
OK, we're close that section of the meeting we'll. | 00:30:27 | |
Open the floor up to anyone who would be here this evening to speak in opposition. | 00:30:30 | |
Seeing none, we will keep on moving. | 00:30:35 | |
Do we have a ballot? | 00:30:39 | |
I do. | 00:30:40 | |
OK, we have ballot from Mr. | 00:30:41 | |
Docket FC25-07. | 00:30:44 | |
Petitioner Martha Evelyn. | 00:30:46 | |
After careful review, the board finds that number one approval, the variance will not be interest to the public health, safety and | 00:30:48 | |
morals. | 00:30:52 | |
And general welfare of the community because the replacement will have no negative impacts on the community. | 00:30:56 | |
#2 the use and value of the area adjacent of property included in the variance. | 00:31:00 | |
Will not be affected in substantial adverse manner. | 00:31:05 | |
Because replacement structure will likely increase the value of the area and adjacent properties as the current structure is | 00:31:08 | |
dilapidated, in need of repairs or a replacement. | 00:31:12 | |
#3 The strict application of the terms of zoning ordinance will result in practical difficulties and use the property. | 00:31:17 | |
Because the applicant will not be able to replace the existing deteriorating structure if the strict application that turns the | 00:31:24 | |
zoning arts are applied. | 00:31:28 | |
The owner is on a fixed income and needs to be replaced. The deteriorate existing structure. | 00:31:32 | |
#4 The variance does not involve a structure. | 00:31:37 | |
That is near an airstrip and regulated under Indiana Code 8-21-10. | 00:31:40 | |
The Board of Zoning Appeals. | 00:31:46 | |
Hereby grants the petitioner of variance at the meeting held on the 14th of April, 2025. | 00:31:49 | |
That completes my ballot. | 00:31:54 | |
OK, we have a, we have a ballot. Do we have a 2nd? I'll second we have a ballot and a second. Any other questions from the board? | 00:31:56 | |
Seeing none, all those in favor signify by saying aye. | 00:32:03 | |
Any pose like son? | 00:32:06 | |
That motion passes. | 00:32:07 | |
Congratulations, enjoy your new place. | 00:32:09 | |
You're welcome. | 00:32:12 | |
OK, folks. | 00:32:14 | |
Moving on. | 00:32:16 | |
We have. | 00:32:18 | |
We don't have any other new business this evening. | 00:32:20 | |
But we do have a discussion item. | 00:32:22 | |
Give me one moment to sign this. | 00:32:25 | |
Nick is going to go over the discussion item this evening. Yes, this is just our annual review. | 00:32:33 | |
A little later than. | 00:32:40 | |
We'd like to have these out, but. | 00:32:41 | |
Out nonetheless. | 00:32:43 | |
Over 2024 building and development services. | 00:32:45 | |
Operations and activities. | 00:32:49 | |
We had 506 improvement permits in Floyd County last year. | 00:32:52 | |
Of which? | 00:32:58 | |
158 of those were new single family dwellings. | 00:33:00 | |
48 commercial or multi family. | 00:33:05 | |
Resulting in over exactly 1800 inspections. | 00:33:08 | |
The BZA and Planning Commission heard 58 applications. | 00:33:14 | |
So it's busier. | 00:33:19 | |
For everyone. | 00:33:21 | |
I think of note for that item is that we had 7 special exceptions. | 00:33:22 | |
Come through. | 00:33:28 | |
Which may indicate that we may want to make some updates to our ordinance. | 00:33:30 | |
Or the comprehensive plan. | 00:33:35 | |
Other than that, if you have any questions about these activities. | 00:33:40 | |
That's pretty good. You had Sherry out most of that year too, didn't you? And actually. | 00:33:42 | |
Sherry was out for. | 00:33:47 | |
About six months of that year. | 00:33:50 | |
And. | 00:33:53 | |
Ellie Lang, Building Commissioner. | 00:33:53 | |
Did most of the work we did hire. | 00:33:56 | |
Contract Larry Wallace, Who's Jeffersonville's. | 00:33:59 | |
Building Commissioner to assist. | 00:34:03 | |
With a few projects. | 00:34:05 | |
We did our best, I think. | 00:34:08 | |
Mostly the builders were satisfied once they understood that you had to get your requests in a little bit in advance. | 00:34:10 | |
But we are back. | 00:34:19 | |
On that note, though, Sherry is retiring. | 00:34:21 | |
She her last day will be April 24th. | 00:34:25 | |
So we will be putting out an ad for a building inspector quick. | 00:34:30 | |
Her last days, the 24th, you said. | 00:34:37 | |
She's been with the county over 20 years. | 00:34:40 | |
Wow, she did a good job. | 00:34:43 | |
That's for sure. | 00:34:47 | |
Wow. | 00:34:50 | |
No questions I can. | 00:34:51 | |
So were you suggesting we need to? | 00:34:53 | |
To look at some of these development standards to change anything or. | 00:34:55 | |
It just could indicate I think. | 00:35:00 | |
Is there any of them, I guess that that repeat. Yeah, yeah. I think it's worth looking and saying. What are these? | 00:35:03 | |
The set back ones we're not going to do much about that does come and go, but the special exceptions that request of a different | 00:35:11 | |
use on a property is worth looking at to see. | 00:35:16 | |
If our ordinance might be too restrictive. | 00:35:22 | |
Or or if we're getting a little too LAX with with issuing them, it's just worth. | 00:35:25 | |
Reviewing and. | 00:35:29 | |
And taking a second look at. | 00:35:31 | |
That's something that we need to be involved in. | 00:35:34 | |
We yes, I think part of the. | 00:35:37 | |
Yeah, OK. | 00:35:45 | |
You know, mothballed last year. | 00:35:49 | |
I think it's worth just just reviewing and making sure that. | 00:35:53 | |
Where Where we want to be OK. | 00:35:56 | |
I'd like to just Ray, you did a good job tonight, by the way. | 00:35:59 | |
Yeah, I know he's a little nervous. Bobby, my first one. | 00:36:03 | |
I second that you did a great job. | 00:36:08 | |
Anything else to come before the board this evening? | 00:36:12 | |
I guess, Nick, real quick, I guess we've got Ray. What other department? | 00:36:14 | |
Personnel changes have. | 00:36:18 | |
Taking place. | 00:36:20 | |
So raise new staff planner Kelly Lang, the building commissioner. His responsibilities were elevated to be more supervisory. | 00:36:22 | |
We have Sean Simpson. He came on in January. He's a new building tech. | 00:36:32 | |
Assisting Gabrielle and. | 00:36:38 | |
Kelly and Gray, with permitting. | 00:36:42 | |
He may end up going into that building inspector position. I think he's interested in that. | 00:36:44 | |
Who's that? I didn't catch that. Sean Simpson. He's planning tag. OK. | 00:36:49 | |
He's been doing a very good job. | 00:36:54 | |
So that. | 00:36:56 | |
Staff wise, that's where we're at. We are looking to hire. | 00:36:57 | |
A part-time code enforcement. | 00:37:01 | |
Officer to assist with code compliance. | 00:37:03 | |
Likewise to the Unified Development Code. Code compliance has kind of taken up a back seat last year with. | 00:37:08 | |
The short staffing. | 00:37:14 | |
So we would like to get back on that. | 00:37:17 | |
All right. Thank you. | 00:37:20 | |
There's nothing else to come before the board. I'll entertain a motion to adjourn. | 00:37:22 | |

The department. | 00:37:59 | |
Yeah, the commissioners passed it. | 00:38:01 | |
Commissioners being they weren't there, upset about the apartments, most of the media, the last meeting was there for the day. | 00:38:03 | |
Claxton. | 00:38:10 | |
Oh well. | 00:38:12 | |
That's why the apartments in the round. | 00:38:13 | |
Roundabout. I don't really think about apartments yet. | 00:38:17 | |
Little malware, so sometimes they go over here. | 00:39:10 | |
Vincent have taken a couple but most of them they don't like Monday there. | 00:39:26 | |

A copy in front of Mr. White for signature approval. | 00:00:00 | |
So so with that. | 00:00:03 | |
Items that I have in my possession right now, we will need to. | 00:00:06 | |
Approve this so that we can all sign it so. | 00:00:10 | |
I would entertain a motion to approve this. | 00:00:13 | |
Agreement that we requested in our last meeting. | 00:00:16 | |
As a condition of that approval. | 00:00:20 | |
That's the hold harmless it is. And just for the record, I did draft that. We left blanks for the property owner and applicant to | 00:00:22 | |
fill in. They filled that in. | 00:00:27 | |
They actually did not use the most current version that I sent them, just from a signature standpoint, so the one in your file. | 00:00:32 | |
Said commissioners by mistake. I had updated that. | 00:00:39 | |
So I've now updated again. | 00:00:42 | |
We will take their two signature pages and add them to the 1st 2 pages there. But I had actually drafted that. | 00:00:44 | |
Right. I'll make a motion to approve the consent and invitation and hold harmless agreement. | 00:00:50 | |
OK. We have a motion. Do we have a second I second to? | 00:00:55 | |
Any other discussion? | 00:00:59 | |
Seeing none, all those in favor signify by saying aye. | 00:01:01 | |
Any opposed like sign that motion passes and. | 00:01:04 | |
We will all need to sign this SO. | 00:01:07 | |
You will sign it and we'll move on so. | 00:01:10 | |
Moving from old business into new business the 1st. | 00:01:14 | |
Agenda item this evening sunglasses are messing up, so indulge me. Well, first agenda item this evening's FC-03-25-26A Development | 00:01:18 | |
Standards Variance 06. | 00:01:24 | |
Oh, the agenda has 26. It should be 06. So I do. Thank you. | 00:01:30 | |
I stand corrected FC-03-25-06. | 00:01:36 | |
Nick, do you want to give us the staff report? | 00:01:40 | |
I'm sorry. | 00:01:44 | |
Introduced I'm not sure I've introduced our new staff planner, Ray Devaya. | 00:01:46 | |
Is the new staff minor? He's prepared, the staff reports tonight and. | 00:01:51 | |
Hello everyone. | 00:02:01 | |
First item on the agenda is FC-03-25-06. | 00:02:03 | |
Petitioners Anthony World. | 00:02:09 | |
Location is 8120 Corn Ridge Rd. Waynesville, Indiana 47136. | 00:02:11 | |
Request. | 00:02:16 | |
The applicant is requesting a development standards variance for the placement of an accessory structure. | 00:02:19 | |
In front of the primary structure. The structure is a 4 to 1 by 51 stick bar. | 00:02:23 | |
With a height of 23 feet. | 00:02:27 | |
The applicant indicated that it will be used to storm his vehicle for vehicles and his proposed be placed adjacent to the existing | 00:02:29 | |
driveway. | 00:02:33 | |
It's zoned Arkansas. | 00:02:36 | |
I'll go ahead and get into it. | 00:02:41 | |
Our ordinance states that necessary surgery shall be located to the rear. | 00:02:45 | |
Or side of the primary structure unless otherwise permitted. | 00:02:50 | |
In this ordinance. | 00:02:53 | |
Section structures used for barns and private garages may be allowed in front of the primary structure and they are district with | 00:02:56 | |
five acres. | 00:02:59 | |
Or greater. | 00:03:02 | |
Barns and private garages shall meet front set back requirements for. | 00:03:03 | |
Primary Structures. Primary structures be located on a parcel with an existing legal, not conforming accessory structure. | 00:03:07 | |
May be located to the rear of the existing legal conforming accessory structures. | 00:03:14 | |
The current primary structure is located near the rear of the property. | 00:03:19 | |
Closer to the northwest western portion of the lot. | 00:03:23 | |
The lot is 2.36 acres and is assessed by a drive connecting the Corner Ridge Rd. | 00:03:26 | |
Primary building is set back 363 feet from the road, while the accessory structure the position 75 feet from primary building and | 00:03:30 | |
247 feet from Horn Ridge Rd. | 00:03:34 | |
Adjacent Properties The surrounding properties are also zoned agricultural residential. Single family residences occupied the | 00:03:40 | |
properties regularly to the north, east and South. | 00:03:43 | |
All the property to the West is used as a pet grooming and boarding facility. | 00:03:48 | |
The applicant had commenced construction of the accessory structure prior to being issued a building permit, which resulting in | 00:03:52 | |
staff issuing a stop work order. | 00:03:55 | |
Currently the concrete slab for the stick barn. | 00:03:58 | |
Wood framing has been erected. | 00:04:01 | |
The stick barn is large enough that it obscures large portion of the primary structure. | 00:04:02 | |
Our zoning orange defines an accessory structure as a building per use of ordinate to another. | 00:04:06 | |
Structure or use located along the same lot which does not change or alter the character of the premise and which is not used for | 00:04:11 | |
human occupancy. | 00:04:14 | |
Public utility communication, electric, gas, water and sewer lines. | 00:04:17 | |
That supports an incidental. | 00:04:22 | |
Equipment. | 00:04:24 | |
So the placement of the proposed accessory structure in front of the primary structure will make the primary structure subordinate | 00:04:25 | |
to the accessory structure. | 00:04:28 | |
As it does not take precedence. | 00:04:32 | |
In appearance, the placement and visibility of the accessory structure overshadows the primary structure. | 00:04:34 | |
Applicant received site approval for the structure as well As for shed, which is slightly larger than the stick mark, 40 feet by | 00:04:39 | |
66 feet. | 00:04:42 | |
Health department staff asked after asking why he did not or could not place the stick warrant. | 00:04:45 | |
Where the shed is to be located, he stated that he intends to use the stick barn for. | 00:04:50 | |
Storing his vehicle. | 00:04:54 | |
Cannot place it there because underground safety lines. These are the proper primary structure would prevent him from laying | 00:04:56 | |
gravel for the driveway. | 00:04:59 | |
Staff spoke with Nicholas Hogg with the Floyd County Health Department. He confirmed that any extra compaction such as gravel or | 00:05:03 | |
asphalt. | 00:05:06 | |
Top Pacific lines could lead to unnecessary action, impossible failure. | 00:05:10 | |
Mr. Hogg stated that as long as the State Farm was not placed atop the septic lines, moving the structure should not be a problem. | 00:05:14 | |
Seeing that the applicant had already commenced construction of the structure before going through the proper channels, this is a | 00:05:19 | |
self-imposed hardship. | 00:05:22 | |
A stick barn is more of a desire rather than necessity for the applicants use of the property, especially considering that they | 00:05:26 | |
seem to have adequate sway space for parking the vehicles in the driveway. | 00:05:30 | |
So I'm not going to. | 00:05:34 | |
Number one, the approval will not be injurious to the public health safety rules of general welfare of the community. | 00:05:40 | |
The location of the structure in front of the primary structure when I inhibit the provision of emergency services to the existing | 00:05:45 | |
structure or neighboring properties. | 00:05:49 | |
To the use of value in the area adjacent to the property included and the variance will not be affected the substantial. | 00:05:53 | |
Substantially adverse. | 00:05:58 | |
Although the use may remain unchanged. | 00:06:00 | |
The stick barn would obscure a significant portion of the home, potentially impacting aesthetic and character, which could in turn | 00:06:02 | |
negatively affect neighboring property values. However, a large stick barn could increase the properties value as well as that of | 00:06:07 | |
surrounding properties if placed in a more suitable location. | 00:06:12 | |
#3 The strict application of the terms of the zoning ordinance will result in practical difficulties in the use of the property. | 00:06:17 | |
Zoning ordinance permits garages and barns in front of Primary church properties zone Arkansas if they are 5 acres for greater | 00:06:23 | |
this parcel is less than half of that. | 00:06:27 | |
Henceforth. | 00:06:31 | |
The practical difficulties are. | 00:06:32 | |
One lateral line placement superior the placement of the structures this side of the primary structure. | 00:06:33 | |
To the property does not meet the minimum. | 00:06:38 | |
Acreage requirements to have the stick, warned police and from the primary structure. | 00:06:40 | |
Three, the eastern portion of the home does not have outward space to accommodate the structure. | 00:06:43 | |
And for a state in the application applicant. | 00:06:48 | |
Cannot build at the rear of the property due to flooding and limited space. Furthermore due to the stick barns intended useful | 00:06:50 | |
garage or for car storage. | 00:06:54 | |
There would be inaccessible due to septic lines preventing gravel from being laid. | 00:06:59 | |
Because the applicant intensive storage vehicle inside of the structure and space is limited due to septic lines east of the | 00:07:03 | |
property or east of the driveway. | 00:07:07 | |
And flooding at the rear of the lot. The only feasible location for the structure is near the front of the property. | 00:07:10 | |
The variance does not involve the structure that is near. | 00:07:16 | |
Airstrip and regulated under Indiana Code 8-21-2. | 00:07:19 | |
So staff recommendations are relocate the stick barn South of the step appliance to prevent. | 00:07:24 | |
Securing the primary structure, ensuring it meets only Wardens restrictions. | 00:07:29 | |
Provide site plan with a new location. | 00:07:33 | |
Maintain wooded or vegetative screening of Stick Martin from Cordon Ridge Rd. | 00:07:35 | |
And provide side approval. | 00:07:39 | |
For construction of new locations from the Floyd County Health Department to ensure it doesn't interfere with. | 00:07:41 | |
Set declines. | 00:07:46 | |
Got a question the? | 00:07:49 | |
The height of 23 feet is that the total height of the building? Is that the? | 00:07:51 | |
The Eve peak. | 00:07:56 | |
Peak. OK, All right. | 00:07:58 | |
Any other questions for staff? | 00:08:01 | |
Thank you, Rick. | 00:08:05 | |
OK, is the applicant or representative for the applicant here? | 00:08:08 | |
If so, please come forward and state your name and address for the record. | 00:08:11 | |
Anthony Barrel, 8120 Cordon Ridge Rd. Lanesville, IN 47136. | 00:08:16 | |
OK, Mr. Barron, you've heard the staff report this evening. | 00:08:22 | |
Would you like to share any other thoughts or comments? Yeah, I discussed it with him in regards to moving it up on the hill. | 00:08:26 | |
And where he said he would like to have it. | 00:08:33 | |
It would be another 100 feet away, just 100 feet. | 00:08:36 | |
That 100 feet will cost me $135,000. | 00:08:40 | |
Because in order for the. | 00:08:43 | |
Building to be moved. | 00:08:45 | |
That Hill's got to be cut out, cut down major excavation work. | 00:08:47 | |
Poured walls, poured floor. | 00:08:51 | |
And that's not a good and gravel. | 00:08:54 | |
So the cost of this thing to do this? | 00:08:56 | |
Is going to be way above my pay grade. | 00:08:59 | |
So. | 00:09:02 | |
For the last 30 years that I've lived there. | 00:09:04 | |
I went without this building. | 00:09:07 | |
And I mean, I want to put it up because the hail damage that we just had, I just lost $75,000 worth of automobile insurance | 00:09:10 | |
claims. | 00:09:13 | |
I want my garage. | 00:09:19 | |
But I can't put. | 00:09:20 | |
$130,000 to put it up on a hill. | 00:09:22 | |
Let alone the fact that I'm going to have to walk. | 00:09:25 | |
100 yards out to it. | 00:09:28 | |
And 100 yards back. | 00:09:29 | |
To do to go to work. | 00:09:32 | |
So it's not it's not feasible. | 00:09:34 | |
In my eyes to put it up on the hill. | 00:09:38 | |
The flooding that I have to contend with that goes through there when we have heavy rains. | 00:09:41 | |
And I don't know if he'd give you pictures. He showed you pictures. | 00:09:46 | |
I mean, I deal with that. | 00:09:49 | |
But I mean it's. | 00:09:51 | |
I don't want to get, I don't want to put this thing up there and then I still got to walk through the mud and the water to get up | 00:09:53 | |
to my garage to go to work. | 00:09:57 | |
So it's not. | 00:10:00 | |
That's not feasible to do that. | 00:10:02 | |
I'm confused where you're trying to say you're. I'm sorry. I can't hear you. My hearing is gone. Welcome here, man. Get your | 00:10:04 | |
button. | 00:10:07 | |
It's on green. So where are you? Where are you saying you you would have to dig. They would have to cut this whole hill out. And | 00:10:11 | |
these are. | 00:10:14 | |
Mature grown trees. I've grown them. | 00:10:18 | |
For the last 30 years so I don't want to cut out my mature tree. | 00:10:20 | |
But they want to start it. | 00:10:24 | |
Right here, it's 100 yards. | 00:10:25 | |
100 feet from the corner of that building to the corner where they would start the other. | 00:10:28 | |
And this would all have to be all cut out landscape. Well, the way he's with the way he's worded what I've got, it just says it | 00:10:32 | |
has to be South of these lateral lines. | 00:10:37 | |
He's not saying it has to be all the way up here. It could be right in here. | 00:10:41 | |
Well, I can't. If I put it right here, that's right in where that major flooding comes through with the river. | 00:10:45 | |
That's why I said I'm kind of landlocked with all the water. | 00:10:51 | |
I thought the water issue was back here in the back. | 00:10:54 | |
I don't want my phone on me. You got the pictures? I've seen the water pictures. Yeah. That all comes from this backside off of | 00:10:58 | |
this hill and that all runs down and washes all down 3 here. That's why it runs right like that. Could could you sketch on that? | 00:11:02 | |
Where the. | 00:11:06 | |
Could you sketch on that where the water runs? | 00:11:11 | |
I'm sorry, could you sketch on? | 00:11:13 | |
Sketch on that diagram where the water. | 00:11:16 | |
That's why I put in the additional catch kit address. | 00:11:25 | |
Underneath the driveway because it's washing it out so many times. | 00:11:28 | |
I mean, I'm. | 00:11:33 | |
Can you go back to the microphone now please? Sorry. | 00:11:34 | |
Where's this water at? But that's why I put in that big catch pit. | 00:11:39 | |
And it was full the other day when we got the water. | 00:11:43 | |
And a secondary one. It was used before. | 00:11:46 | |
It it was kind of when it was originally put in, it was put in the wrong place. | 00:11:50 | |
But even it. | 00:11:54 | |
Caught a lot of water too. | 00:11:56 | |
So that's where I'm at with it. | 00:11:59 | |
Other questions? | 00:12:10 | |
Mr. Barrel. | 00:12:11 | |
Why is a? | 00:12:13 | |
How come they? | 00:12:14 | |
The slab for the new building is not parallel. | 00:12:15 | |
I can't hear you. Why is it not parallel to the house? | 00:12:18 | |
Because that's where you got to state the microphone, sorry. | 00:12:21 | |
If I put it parallel with the house, it's going to be right in the middle of top my ladder roll it lateral line. | 00:12:24 | |
And it's going to be if you put it off to the side. | 00:12:30 | |
Up on the property line, I'm still going to deal with the water drain off that runs through there. Well where it is now, but it's | 00:12:33 | |
it's kind of twisted. We had a cornered it to get the most out of it we could get. | 00:12:39 | |
And I can still sit in my living room, watch, watch my front yard. | 00:12:44 | |
That's what he's ******** about. | 00:12:48 | |
Have to dig in those hillside. | 00:12:49 | |
Well. | 00:12:53 | |
So basically the water that you're talking about is flooding comes down to driveway, is that correct? It comes through the yard | 00:13:01 | |
and floods across here right there at the base of that turn around where you can see the cut out. | 00:13:07 | |
But to the right. | 00:13:16 | |
To the right hand side of the property, standing on on the road. | 00:13:18 | |
If you would place that, that would be in the floodplain. | 00:13:22 | |
It's the higher ground. It's higher. You just, you just said you had, you just said you had to cut it down. So if you have to cut | 00:13:26 | |
it down, that's higher ground. | 00:13:30 | |
Yeah, I got. | 00:13:34 | |
Here's the 12 foot 14 foot difference from. | 00:13:37 | |
Where the driveway is, you'd be going up like this. | 00:13:40 | |
Well, we were out there today. It's not that steep and we were there today, it's not that steep. I think the the barn can be | 00:13:43 | |
relocated to the area. | 00:13:48 | |
Without a lot of difficulties. So it's going to take a lot of difficulties and a lot of money. | 00:13:52 | |
Well, money is not our issue on the board, OK, We don't take a look at that. We don't make a decision where you. | 00:13:58 | |
Put your building and how much money you spend. That's your decision to build a building, not ours. We approve the location where | 00:14:05 | |
you put it, and that's what we're here for. | 00:14:09 | |
To put it up on that hill is not cost effective #1. | 00:14:14 | |
And #2 I'm still going to have to walk through. | 00:14:19 | |
And contend contend with the water that when it floods through there. | 00:14:22 | |
To get to the call. | 00:14:26 | |
Mr. Barry. All right, I have a question. | 00:14:28 | |
Can you help us understand? | 00:14:32 | |
How you got so far along in the construction process before you requested a permit? | 00:14:34 | |
Well, I requested, I went to the health department and I got approval because I was told to do that. | 00:14:39 | |
And then the gentleman, the health department, I never done this before. | 00:14:45 | |
I never done this building anything like this before. | 00:14:49 | |
And I put this concrete pad in. | 00:14:52 | |
With the intentions of I needed additional parking. | 00:14:56 | |
And that's why I did it, because I did not have parking. | 00:15:00 | |
So I put the pad in when I put the pad. | 00:15:03 | |
Had and I overbuilt the pad. | 00:15:05 | |
And I exceeded what? | 00:15:07 | |
Codes would require because I thought well maybe later on. | 00:15:09 | |
If I end up doing something with this, it would be ready not so I'm going to. | 00:15:13 | |
But say maybe I do. | 00:15:18 | |
Well, I didn't know that I had to have a building permit. I thought it was a one stop shop. | 00:15:20 | |
And when the guy says no, you're good, we're good with it, I said OK. | 00:15:27 | |
So the guy had an opening to put up the barn. | 00:15:31 | |
And I said, well, I got the permit for this. | 00:15:35 | |
I don't know if anything else. So I started and that's what happened. | 00:15:39 | |
There was a communication issue. | 00:15:42 | |
Because the health department didn't tell me. | 00:15:45 | |
You got to go to the building department. | 00:15:49 | |
The building department. | 00:15:51 | |
Is over here on the other side of town. Everybody said go to the health department, get your permits. | 00:15:52 | |
So that's where I went. | 00:15:57 | |
So do you have someone building this for you or you? I have it. I have a contractor that started this. | 00:15:58 | |
And then he said you have your permits and I was under impression I did. | 00:16:05 | |
That's when he started, that's when they got and then I got a notice of stop work immediately and. | 00:16:09 | |
Threw their guys into the tailspin area and. | 00:16:15 | |
The whole deal and. | 00:16:18 | |
And that's where it's been standing now for the last. | 00:16:19 | |
48 days. | 00:16:22 | |
It's just basically the stick structures and it's not a pole barn, it's an actual stick structure. | 00:16:25 | |
And it's just temporarily. | 00:16:32 | |
You know. | 00:16:34 | |
Up there. | 00:16:36 | |
So it's waiting for trusses and. | 00:16:38 | |
Outside material and then it would be. | 00:16:40 | |
OK. It would be pretty well done. So when was the first time you you were made aware that? | 00:16:43 | |
That you needed. | 00:16:49 | |
The date that I got the violation. | 00:16:52 | |
No, no, it's OK. We're we know when that was. I just wasn't sure trying to clarify. | 00:16:54 | |
That's when the building, the people come out and give me a stop, work immediately and. | 00:16:59 | |
Sent people home and. | 00:17:04 | |
Or I come down here and found out what I had to do, what I. | 00:17:06 | |
That's why I did. | 00:17:11 | |
Stop right there, OK? | 00:17:12 | |
Is there any other questions from the board? | 00:17:15 | |
When I was out there today. | 00:17:18 | |
I saw it. | 00:17:20 | |
Looked like some kind of construction equipment in your shed and a big auger over on your side. | 00:17:22 | |
Those are not mine. | 00:17:28 | |
They're not yours. Those are not mine. | 00:17:29 | |
Those are my boys. They're not mine. I don't. I'm an aircraft inspector for EPS. | 00:17:32 | |
That's those are not mine. | 00:17:36 | |
So. | 00:17:38 | |
You're not currently are planning to run a business out of this building? | 00:17:39 | |
No. Any answer to that is no. | 00:17:44 | |
I want a boat. | 00:17:48 | |
By the way, so. | 00:17:49 | |
I want to vote, Sir. I want to go fishing. We'll give you chase. Speak in a minute. | 00:17:51 | |
OK. | 00:17:56 | |
I have no other questions. | 00:18:01 | |
Any other questions for the applicant? | 00:18:03 | |
Thank you, Mr. Barrow. | 00:18:05 | |
Thank you. | 00:18:07 | |
OK. So we've heard from the staff, we've heard from the applicant. | 00:18:09 | |
We're going to close those commentary sections of the meeting and go to anyone else here who would like to come forward and speak | 00:18:13 | |
in favor of this request this evening. | 00:18:17 | |
Please come forward, state your name and address for the record. | 00:18:22 | |
How's everybody doing tonight? | 00:18:26 | |
My name is Michael Merrill. I'm the son. | 00:18:28 | |
Of Anthony Barrel here. | 00:18:31 | |
My father, he's wanting to put up this. | 00:18:33 | |
Building. | 00:18:36 | |
State your address first, please. 425 Hummingbird Heights, Cordon, Indiana. | 00:18:37 | |
So I grew up in that house. So I grew up, moved away quite some time ago. | 00:18:46 | |
My father the only reason why he built this garage and obviously there was miscommunication with the. | 00:18:51 | |
Contractors and whatnot. | 00:18:57 | |
The main was. | 00:19:00 | |
He got cancer over a year ago. | 00:19:01 | |
And he's been an aircraft mechanic his entire life. | 00:19:04 | |
He bought a bass boat. | 00:19:08 | |
As his retirement. | 00:19:09 | |
That is what the man wanted, was Basspoke. | 00:19:11 | |
They wanted that building next to this house so he could place his boat into this building. | 00:19:14 | |
He didn't want it out too close to the road. Obviously it's a very. | 00:19:18 | |
Expensive bass boat. | 00:19:22 | |
He wanted it there where he could go out to it. | 00:19:24 | |
He has a handicap. | 00:19:27 | |
And he can only walk so far. His knees have already given out on him. | 00:19:29 | |
He put a back door where this location is. | 00:19:34 | |
On this building so he could go into it and easily access it. | 00:19:37 | |
And walk back out. | 00:19:41 | |
You know, with the equipment, those the skid steers, the excavator, those are mine. It's just I'm in the process of locating a or | 00:19:45 | |
a. | 00:19:49 | |
A place to rent? | 00:19:53 | |
To put this equipment. | 00:19:55 | |
Those are all mine so. | 00:19:56 | |
But no business of any sort ran out of there. | 00:20:00 | |
Majority time there's nobody home. Be honest with you. | 00:20:04 | |
So. | 00:20:07 | |
But like you guys. | 00:20:10 | |
Thank you. | 00:20:12 | |
Anyone else here this evening to speak in favor of this request? | 00:20:14 | |
Seeing none, we will close that section of the meeting and we will open the microphone up to anyone who would be here this evening | 00:20:19 | |
to speak in opposition. | 00:20:23 | |
Is there anyone here that would like to speak in opposition to this request? | 00:20:27 | |
OK, seeing none. | 00:20:33 | |
We will. | 00:20:36 | |
Close the public comment section. Do we have a ballot? | 00:20:37 | |
Yes, I do have a ballot. | 00:20:42 | |
Development standards variance balance. Floyd County Board of Zoning Appeals, Docket FC-03-25-06. | 00:20:47 | |
After careful review, the board finds that the approval of the variance will not. | 00:20:56 | |
Be a jurist to the public. | 00:21:01 | |
Health, safety, morals and general welfare of the community because the location of structure is. | 00:21:03 | |
In front of the primary structure? Well, not. | 00:21:09 | |
Have it the provisions of emergency services. | 00:21:12 | |
To the existing structure neighboring properties #2. | 00:21:16 | |
The use and value of the area adjacent to the property included in the variance will not. | 00:21:20 | |
Be affected in substantially adverse manner because. | 00:21:26 | |
Although the use. | 00:21:30 | |
Although the use, excuse me, may remain unchanged, the stick barn would obscure a significant portion of the home, potentially | 00:21:31 | |
impacting. | 00:21:36 | |
The aesthetics and character, which could in turn negatively affect neighboring property values. | 00:21:40 | |
However, a large stick barn could increase the property's values as well as that of surrounding problems it placed in the more | 00:21:45 | |
suitable location. | 00:21:50 | |
The strict application of the terms of the zoning ordinance will. | 00:21:54 | |
Result in practical difficulties in the use of the property because the zoning ordinance. | 00:21:57 | |
Permits, garages and barns in front of. | 00:22:03 | |
Of a primary structure for property zoned Arkansas if they're. | 00:22:05 | |
5 acres or greater. | 00:22:09 | |
This parcel is less than half of that there henceforth. | 00:22:10 | |
The practical difficulties are. | 00:22:13 | |
Lateral line placement, perhaps the placement of the structure to the side of the primary structure. | 00:22:16 | |
The property does not meet the minimum acreage requirement to have the stick barn placed in front of the primary structure. | 00:22:21 | |
The eastern portion of the home does not have adequate space to accommodate the structure. | 00:22:27 | |
As stated in the application, the applicant. | 00:22:32 | |
Cannot build. | 00:22:34 | |
At the rear of the property due to the flooding and limited space. | 00:22:36 | |
Furthermore, due to the stick Barnes intended use for car stores, the area would be inaccessible due to septic lines preventing. | 00:22:39 | |
Gravel. Gravel from being laid. | 00:22:48 | |
Because the applicant intends to store his vehicles inside of the structure and space is limited due to septic lines east of the | 00:22:51 | |
driveway and flooding it through the lot, the only feasible location for the structure is near the front of the property. | 00:22:58 | |
The variance. | 00:23:07 | |
The variance does not involve a structure that is near an airstrip and regulated. | 00:23:09 | |
Under the code. | 00:23:14 | |
8-21-10 There is not an airstrip in the vicinity. | 00:23:16 | |
The zoning Board. The Board of Zoning. | 00:23:21 | |
Appeals hereby denies. | 00:23:24 | |
The Petitioner. | 00:23:27 | |
Variance on the meeting held on the 14th day of. | 00:23:29 | |
April. | 00:23:33 | |
2025. | 00:23:34 | |
The approval by the Board is subject to the completion of the following conditions. | 00:23:36 | |
Relocate the stick barn South of the septic lines to prevent obscuring the primary structure. | 00:23:43 | |
Ensuring it meets zoning ordinance restrictions. | 00:23:48 | |
Provide site plan with new location. | 00:23:52 | |
Maintain wooded or vegetation vegetative. | 00:23:55 | |
Screening of stick. | 00:23:58 | |
Stick Barn from Cordon Ridge Rd. | 00:24:00 | |
Provide site approval for construction of new location from the Floyd County Health Department. | 00:24:03 | |
To ensure. | 00:24:08 | |
It doesn't interfere with the septic lines. | 00:24:10 | |
That's my ballot. | 00:24:13 | |
So just for a point of clarification. | 00:24:15 | |
You actually are wanting to grant the variance request and that you're going to allow him to. | 00:24:17 | |
Build it in front of the primary structure, but with the condition that it be relocated further east. | 00:24:23 | |
And yeah. | 00:24:30 | |
You're correct. | 00:24:31 | |
You are correct. | 00:24:33 | |
Thank you. Thank you. | 00:24:35 | |
Yeah. | 00:24:37 | |
I'll second that motion. | 00:24:38 | |
OK. So we have a ballot and we have a second. Do we have any other questions? | 00:24:40 | |
Of the board. | 00:24:44 | |
OK, see none. All those in favor signify by saying aye. | 00:24:47 | |
Any opposed like sign? | 00:24:50 | |
The motion passes. | 00:24:52 | |
Passes. Thank you folks. | 00:24:53 | |
I did. | 00:24:56 | |
OK. | 00:24:59 | |
You have to move the building. | 00:25:03 | |
We're going to move on. | 00:25:07 | |
While they're having their side discussions, so second agenda item this evening is FC-03-25-07. | 00:25:08 | |
Another development standards variance and I believe Ray is going to come forward and give us the staff report. | 00:25:18 | |
The petitioners. | 00:25:25 | |
Martha Edelman. | 00:25:26 | |
Location is 3421 Georgetown Regal Rd. Georgetown, IN 47122. | 00:25:28 | |
Applicant is requesting oh sorry it's zoned agricultural residential AR. | 00:25:35 | |
The applicant is requesting the development standards variance to replace our existing manufactured home with a new one that is | 00:25:39 | |
smaller than the minimum required 950 square feet. | 00:25:43 | |
The post structure will be 840 square feet will be built on the same footprint as the previous home. | 00:25:48 | |
Lot is 6.92 acres and is accessed by a drive connecting to Georgetown Greenville Rd. | 00:25:53 | |
The home is obscured and is situated further down the road than the primary modular home which lots of applicants son. | 00:25:58 | |
Water hookup acceptable remain the same. The sewer line will also be. | 00:26:04 | |
Connected to the existence you're on. | 00:26:08 | |
The applicant said that she had been living in the home since 1980 and that their current home is 50 years old. | 00:26:11 | |
Dilapidated, it'll be costly to repair. She's proposing building a new home. | 00:26:16 | |
Adjacent Properties All surrounding properties are also zoned AR. The properties to the West, South and N are single family | 00:26:20 | |
residences with the church located further West of the home adjacent to the property. | 00:26:25 | |
I'm going to go to the narrow statements. | 00:26:31 | |
The approval will not be injurious to the public health, safety, morals and general welfare of the community. The replacement will | 00:26:34 | |
have no. | 00:26:37 | |
Negative impacts. | 00:26:40 | |
The use and value of the area adjacent to the property, including the variance, will not be affected in the substantially first | 00:26:42 | |
manner. | 00:26:45 | |
Replacement structure will likely increase the value of their and adjacent properties as applicants stated that the current | 00:26:48 | |
structure is dilapidated and any different repairs for replacement. | 00:26:52 | |
The strict application of the terms the zoning ordinance will result in practical difficulties. | 00:26:57 | |
In the use of the property, Arkansas development standards prohibit structures with a minimum ground floor area of less than 950 | 00:27:01 | |
feet. The proposed structure is about 110 feet smaller than that. Thus, the practical difficulties that she will be, she will not | 00:27:06 | |
be able to replace the deteriorating structure. | 00:27:11 | |
At the strict application of the terms of the zoning ordinance are applied and the owners on the fixed income and she needs in | 00:27:15 | |
their own. | 00:27:19 | |
There's not a nurse trip in the vicinity. | 00:27:22 | |
And there are no staff recommendations, but I didn't know that the BCA has previously approved the similar application. | 00:27:25 | |
FC-03-24. | 00:27:31 | |
Dash 06, at which the applicant requested the developments. There's variance replacing dilapidated manufacturing home with a new | 00:27:34 | |
one that was smaller than the minimum required. | 00:27:37 | |
50 square feet. | 00:27:42 | |
OK, so we have. | 00:27:46 | |
Heard from staff, any questions? | 00:27:47 | |
OK. | 00:27:51 | |
We will move right into the next phase. Is the applicant or representative of the applicant here? | 00:27:52 | |
If so, please come forward, state your name and address for the record. | 00:27:58 | |
Martha. | 00:28:05 | |
3421 Georgetown Greenville Rd. | 00:28:06 | |
Georgetown, IN. | 00:28:09 | |
All right, miss you and thank you for being with us this evening. | 00:28:11 | |
I think what you're asking for seems pretty. | 00:28:15 | |
Cut and dry. Is there anything else you'd like us to know or we need to know about your request? No, I just don't pray I get it. | 00:28:17 | |
Do any of the board members have any questions from this evening? | 00:28:24 | |
What's the timing? What what do you see the timing when we? | 00:28:28 | |
Forgetting this, Yeah. When? When will the work take place? When you swap it out? | 00:28:32 | |
When you are approved me and I get the building permit. | 00:28:36 | |
The Joe from Clayton's is here with me also. So your intent is to go right along with it right away? Yeah, OK. | 00:28:40 | |
Any other questions? | 00:28:48 | |
Thank you, Miss Eagle. | 00:28:51 | |
Thank you. | 00:28:52 | |
OK. We've heard from the applicant. Is there anyone else here this evening that would like to come forward to speak in favor of | 00:28:54 | |
this application? | 00:28:57 | |
Come forward, state your name and address for the record. | 00:29:00 | |
I'm Joker with Clayton Homes. | 00:29:02 | |
And one of the main things is with calls at home to dilapidate, it's it's got moisture underneath of it. And we get that over now | 00:29:06 | |
everyone build that ground up. | 00:29:10 | |
Put proper foundation under. It needs to be underneath there. | 00:29:14 | |
Needed me to go to structure. | 00:29:17 | |
Vinyl home vinyl windows. | 00:29:20 | |
I love the woman. Get done. | 00:29:22 | |
All right. Any other questions for Mr. Crew? | 00:29:26 | |
Thank you, Mr. Crew. You're welcome. | 00:29:30 | |
Is there anyone else here this evening would like to speak in favor of this? | 00:29:33 | |
Come forward and state your name and address for the record. | 00:29:37 | |
I'm James Irvin, 3411 Georgetown, Greenville Rd. Georgetown, IN. | 00:29:40 | |
I'm her son. I live right front over. | 00:29:45 | |
I didn't. I didn't hear no dates on this house, but. | 00:29:48 | |
They put this house here in 1989. | 00:29:50 | |
And it was at least 15 years. | 00:29:53 | |
For that so. | 00:29:55 | |
Definitely got the money's worth out of it. It's time for that one to go. | 00:29:57 | |
Sure, we're done. We replaced all the floors and it's time to start doing it again. | 00:30:01 | |
We've shipped the roof twice. | 00:30:06 | |
Needs updated by. | 00:30:09 | |
So that's how I didn't hear no day. So I just wanted to know the age of this. I was just in the 70s. It was born when I was. | 00:30:10 | |
Thank you. | 00:30:19 | |
Is there is there anyone else here this evening that would like to speak in favor? | 00:30:22 | |
OK, we're close that section of the meeting we'll. | 00:30:27 | |
Open the floor up to anyone who would be here this evening to speak in opposition. | 00:30:30 | |
Seeing none, we will keep on moving. | 00:30:35 | |
Do we have a ballot? | 00:30:39 | |
I do. | 00:30:40 | |
OK, we have ballot from Mr. | 00:30:41 | |
Docket FC25-07. | 00:30:44 | |
Petitioner Martha Evelyn. | 00:30:46 | |
After careful review, the board finds that number one approval, the variance will not be interest to the public health, safety and | 00:30:48 | |
morals. | 00:30:52 | |
And general welfare of the community because the replacement will have no negative impacts on the community. | 00:30:56 | |
#2 the use and value of the area adjacent of property included in the variance. | 00:31:00 | |
Will not be affected in substantial adverse manner. | 00:31:05 | |
Because replacement structure will likely increase the value of the area and adjacent properties as the current structure is | 00:31:08 | |
dilapidated, in need of repairs or a replacement. | 00:31:12 | |
#3 The strict application of the terms of zoning ordinance will result in practical difficulties and use the property. | 00:31:17 | |
Because the applicant will not be able to replace the existing deteriorating structure if the strict application that turns the | 00:31:24 | |
zoning arts are applied. | 00:31:28 | |
The owner is on a fixed income and needs to be replaced. The deteriorate existing structure. | 00:31:32 | |
#4 The variance does not involve a structure. | 00:31:37 | |
That is near an airstrip and regulated under Indiana Code 8-21-10. | 00:31:40 | |
The Board of Zoning Appeals. | 00:31:46 | |
Hereby grants the petitioner of variance at the meeting held on the 14th of April, 2025. | 00:31:49 | |
That completes my ballot. | 00:31:54 | |
OK, we have a, we have a ballot. Do we have a 2nd? I'll second we have a ballot and a second. Any other questions from the board? | 00:31:56 | |
Seeing none, all those in favor signify by saying aye. | 00:32:03 | |
Any pose like son? | 00:32:06 | |
That motion passes. | 00:32:07 | |
Congratulations, enjoy your new place. | 00:32:09 | |
You're welcome. | 00:32:12 | |
OK, folks. | 00:32:14 | |
Moving on. | 00:32:16 | |
We have. | 00:32:18 | |
We don't have any other new business this evening. | 00:32:20 | |
But we do have a discussion item. | 00:32:22 | |
Give me one moment to sign this. | 00:32:25 | |
Nick is going to go over the discussion item this evening. Yes, this is just our annual review. | 00:32:33 | |
A little later than. | 00:32:40 | |
We'd like to have these out, but. | 00:32:41 | |
Out nonetheless. | 00:32:43 | |
Over 2024 building and development services. | 00:32:45 | |
Operations and activities. | 00:32:49 | |
We had 506 improvement permits in Floyd County last year. | 00:32:52 | |
Of which? | 00:32:58 | |
158 of those were new single family dwellings. | 00:33:00 | |
48 commercial or multi family. | 00:33:05 | |
Resulting in over exactly 1800 inspections. | 00:33:08 | |
The BZA and Planning Commission heard 58 applications. | 00:33:14 | |
So it's busier. | 00:33:19 | |
For everyone. | 00:33:21 | |
I think of note for that item is that we had 7 special exceptions. | 00:33:22 | |
Come through. | 00:33:28 | |
Which may indicate that we may want to make some updates to our ordinance. | 00:33:30 | |
Or the comprehensive plan. | 00:33:35 | |
Other than that, if you have any questions about these activities. | 00:33:40 | |
That's pretty good. You had Sherry out most of that year too, didn't you? And actually. | 00:33:42 | |
Sherry was out for. | 00:33:47 | |
About six months of that year. | 00:33:50 | |
And. | 00:33:53 | |
Ellie Lang, Building Commissioner. | 00:33:53 | |
Did most of the work we did hire. | 00:33:56 | |
Contract Larry Wallace, Who's Jeffersonville's. | 00:33:59 | |
Building Commissioner to assist. | 00:34:03 | |
With a few projects. | 00:34:05 | |
We did our best, I think. | 00:34:08 | |
Mostly the builders were satisfied once they understood that you had to get your requests in a little bit in advance. | 00:34:10 | |
But we are back. | 00:34:19 | |
On that note, though, Sherry is retiring. | 00:34:21 | |
She her last day will be April 24th. | 00:34:25 | |
So we will be putting out an ad for a building inspector quick. | 00:34:30 | |
Her last days, the 24th, you said. | 00:34:37 | |
She's been with the county over 20 years. | 00:34:40 | |
Wow, she did a good job. | 00:34:43 | |
That's for sure. | 00:34:47 | |
Wow. | 00:34:50 | |
No questions I can. | 00:34:51 | |
So were you suggesting we need to? | 00:34:53 | |
To look at some of these development standards to change anything or. | 00:34:55 | |
It just could indicate I think. | 00:35:00 | |
Is there any of them, I guess that that repeat. Yeah, yeah. I think it's worth looking and saying. What are these? | 00:35:03 | |
The set back ones we're not going to do much about that does come and go, but the special exceptions that request of a different | 00:35:11 | |
use on a property is worth looking at to see. | 00:35:16 | |
If our ordinance might be too restrictive. | 00:35:22 | |
Or or if we're getting a little too LAX with with issuing them, it's just worth. | 00:35:25 | |
Reviewing and. | 00:35:29 | |
And taking a second look at. | 00:35:31 | |
That's something that we need to be involved in. | 00:35:34 | |
We yes, I think part of the. | 00:35:37 | |
Yeah, OK. | 00:35:45 | |
You know, mothballed last year. | 00:35:49 | |
I think it's worth just just reviewing and making sure that. | 00:35:53 | |
Where Where we want to be OK. | 00:35:56 | |
I'd like to just Ray, you did a good job tonight, by the way. | 00:35:59 | |

Personnel changes have. | 00:36:18 | |
Taking place. | 00:36:20 | |
So raise new staff planner Kelly Lang, the building commissioner. His responsibilities were elevated to be more supervisory. | 00:36:22 | |
We have Sean Simpson. He came on in January. He's a new building tech. | 00:36:32 | |
Assisting Gabrielle and. | 00:36:38 | |
Kelly and Gray, with permitting. | 00:36:42 | |
He may end up going into that building inspector position. I think he's interested in that. | 00:36:44 | |
Who's that? I didn't catch that. Sean Simpson. He's planning tag. OK. | 00:36:49 | |

A part-time code enforcement. | 00:37:01 | |
Officer to assist with code compliance. | 00:37:03 | |

The short staffing. | 00:37:14 | |
