July 28, 2016 at 4:25 p.m.
BOURBON - The Board of Zoning Appeals granted a special use variance for construction of a private school after a public hearing saw neither opposition nor support from the public.
The board voted unanimously Monday to grant the variance for the school, which will be built at the north edge of town in an area zoned suburban.
Andy Hochstetler, Steve Burkholder and Gerald Miller represented the Clay Street Amish Mennonite Church, prospective builders of the school, at the hearing.
Hochstetler said members of the church would like to see more people move to the area and there was need for the school. He said the group has received state release on its plans and will soon apply for a building permit.
He said the school will accommodate 75 to 100 students from elementary through junior high. Construction will begin this summer and the school will be ready for students in the fall of 1998. [[In-content Ad]]
