LAND USE AGENDA

TOWN OF BROWNSBURG BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS

WHK, LLC, 2010-05BZA. The Petitioner, Richard Gardner, provided a very nice presentation regarding a use variance from the zoning ordinance for lot number 8 in the William E. Thompson Subdivision commonly known as 21 North Grant Street in Brownsburg, Indiana. Mr. Gardner seeks permission to use the property as a residence in the C-3 commercial district after a complete remodel of the existing property including the construction of an attached garage. Mr. Gardner explained that he and his wife plan to live at the property following the conversion of it into a home. They have been cleaning up the property for several months. The original plans as presented are being modified to include only a two car garage. The third bay, originally planned to house an automobile, will be instead converted into a breezeway. All neighbors on North Grant Street have been previously notified of the plans and all support the plans. Banning Engineering is the project engineer. The BZA hearing date is April 12, 2010. Ken Roe made a motion to support the petition as presented with the anticipated modifications to the plans. A second was made to the motion by Mike Starkey and a roll call vote of the Directors present revealed that the motion passed by a vote of 6-0-0 (Support-Oppose-Abstain).
