BZA To Consider Floral Shop, Office Building Requests
July 28, 2016 at 4:25 p.m.
Three tabled items will be revisited by the Warsaw Board of Zoning Appeals tonight at the 7 p.m. meeting. A request by Marvin Burl and Nelda Love to open a floral shop at 1422 E. Center St. and Luke Becknell's request for a beauty shop at 715 E. Center St and an office building at 721 E Center St. will be heard.
In December, Burl and Love, who operate several floral shops in Wabash County, asked for three things: a 3.5-foot side-yard setback for a walk-in cooler; one 7-foot-high freestanding sign and two wall signs; and use of the property as a floral shop
Plans call for the back yard to be paved, fencing to the west and south, a curb cut on Sherman Street, a handicapped access ramp and commercial signage.
Last month board member Dan Hampton raised several objections to the request, saying the area should remain "residential in nature."
Luke Becknell is asking that a beauty shop be constructed at 715 E. Center St., east of Tamarack Street. Today's Headlines will move into the new building. The building at 721 E. Center St, where Today's Headlines is currently housed, will become a professional office building.
Becknell is asking for a 17-foot front-yard setback and a variance from development standards to eliminate parking lot landscape buffers at 715 E. Center St.
The request for 721 E. Center St. is to allow a professional office in a residential R-2 district and to allow one existing off-premise free-standing sign.
The BZA also will consider a request from Eddie and Roseann Hartman to operate a professional office and computer repair shop at 1421 E. Center St. The Hartmans are asking for a variance to allow the service in an R-2 district and a variance from development standards to allow a reduction in parking requirements.
BZA members are: Alan Clingan, Dan Hampton, Richard Keeven, Tom Heuer and Bruce Woodward. Bill Rhoades is the city council's representative. [[In-content Ad]]
