Zoners OK Sacred Heart Sign Variace
July 28, 2016 at 4:25 p.m.
A second freestanding sign to identify school activities at Sacred Heart School has been approved.
The Board of Zoning Appeals approved the request at its meeting Monday night.
The sign will be located between the circular driveway on East Fort Wayne and Harrison streets in the grassy area.
Karin Steffensmeier, representing Sacred Heart, requested a variance from development standards for a second freestanding sign on one lot in the R-1 zoning district.
Steffensmeier attended Monday's meeting and said an additional sign is needed to separate school activities from Sacred Heart Church activities.
The applicant requested to erect a 7-foot-high freestanding sign, with a double-sided, 4-foot by 8-foot copy area. The sign will be lighted internally.
The board also approved a request from applicants Kent and Roxanne Wildman for a variance from development standards to allow for a depth-to-width ratio greater than 3 to 1 at 925 S. Zimmer Road.
In addition to the request is a request for a variance from development standards for a lot width of 50 feet from the required 100-foot lot width for the larger of the two lots.
The petitioner has a request before the Plan Commission to subdivide the lot into two lots. One lot will consist of the existing dwelling on 52,057 square feet at the southwest corner of the current lot.
The second lot will consist of the remaining area for the construction of a single-family dwelling.
The two variance requests represent one step in a two-step process. The Board of Zoning Appeals variances are the first step and the Plan Commission subdivision is the second step. The subdivision request will be heard at the Dec. 11 Plan Commission meeting.
The board also approved a request from applicants Jim and Ellen Schwendeman for a variance from development standards to allow for a 10-foot variance from the required 15-foot sideyard setback to construct an attached garage on the east side of their property.
The property is at 1401 Country Club Drive.
The board will meet again Dec. 14 at 7 p.m. [[In-content Ad]]
