July 28, 2016 at 4:25 p.m.
WINONA LAKE - Carl Schuster requested a variance to sell his lot and garage at 2906 Sandra Lane at the town's Board of Zoning Appeals meeting Monday.
Schuster has a prospective buyer and the new owner is planning on using the garage as a hobby shop. Schuster has used the garage as a hobby shop for 18 years.
The board approved the variance to sell the lot and garage.
Howard Koenigshof owns a rental unit at 116 Boys City Drive and requested permission to tear down the current building and build a new one. The current building is deteriorating. Koenigshof said he is embarrassed to rent it out. The lot is 40 feet by 80 feet and Koenigshof wants to build a house of 780 square feet.
Town ordinance states that one cannot build a home less than 1,000 square feet.
Board president Gene Siman said Koenigshof has three options. He could tear down the building and leave the property bare, leave the building up or tear it down and put something nice up.
The board approved the request to reduce the minimum of 1,000 square feet to 780 square feet. This will enable Koenigshof to build a new building.
Members of the Winona Lake Board of Zoning Appeals include: president Gene Siman, Carol Schuler, Dane Miller, Mark Workman and Mike Grill. [[In-content Ad]]
