Winona Zoning Sent Back To Plan Board
July 28, 2016 at 4:25 p.m.
Winona Lake - An outcry of complaints about a recommendation to rezone a handful of tracts around town was sent back to the town's plan commission for further study.
Town council was prepared Tuesday night to vote on a group of rezonings, all to single family residential.
The recommendation to approve the rezonings came from the plan commission, but residents complained about its impact.
Councilman Harold Dunn made the motion to send it back and suggested the commission refrain from sending "package deals" involving multiple zoning proposals.
The recommendation included six small tracts scattered around the town. Those include a stretch of property along Winona Avenue, Wooster Road near Kings Highway, two lots on West Street, the Chicago Boys Club property, the corner of Kings Highway and Kings Court, and a tract along Winona Beach and Pink Magnolia.
Property owners and developers complained the proposal was ill advised and in several cases would hurt their property values.
Some complained about a lack of adequate notification about the proposal.
The plan commission will likely reconsider the issue at its April 13 meeting. [[In-content Ad]]
