Joe and Karen Hamilton, of 1127 Country Club Lane, will present a request before the Warsaw Board of Zoning Appeals tonight for a variance from developmental standards for their property.

The Hamiltons request a 0-foot yard setback, a variance from the 25-foot setback required by the city. The request will eliminate a present encroachment on a city right of way.

Gilbert and Rosella Hawkins, of 1503 E. Fort Wayne St., will present a request for a variance from developmental standards to allow a 10-1/2-foot variance from the required 15-foot front yard setback requirement for the construction of a deck beside their house.

The deck will not block any visual lines of site, and the right of way along Sherman Street will still provide 15 feet of visual clearance from the projected deck to the street.

A request for a variance of use to allow for a massage therapy home occupation will be presented by Dawnna L. Plummer, of 2705 Marion Drive.

Plummer's request is a result of Warsaw's recently passed ordinance regulating massage establishments. The board will review the new constricted conditions with Plummer before making a decision.

Board member Bruce Woodward will request a variance from developmental standards to allow backing into a public right of way from a C-2-zoned parking lot at 616 S. Buffalo St.

This request will allow vehicles to back into the public alley neighboring the parking lot.

Woodward will explain the request and its conditions, but will not be allowed to vote for either approval or disapproval on the issue.

BZA members are Woodward, Alan Clingan, Dan Hampton, Tom Heuer and Rick Keevan. [[In-content Ad]]
