Zoners OK Location For Hawg Waller Motorcycle Event

May 8, 2018 at 5:29 p.m.


The “Hawg Waller” motorcycle event, planned by Kosciusko County ABATE on June 29 and 30, was approved Monday morning at the Kosciusko County Board of Zoning Appeals meeting.

However, because the festivities have prompted complaints in the past, regardless of location, the board denied a separate petition that would have made its permission permanent.

After petitioning for the site of last year’s event at the corner of CRs 650W and 250N, ABATE asked the board for permission this year to host the event at 5227 East Old 30. The site is the former Little Big Horn golf course, and the event was most recently held there in 2016. The board approved the site on the same conditions that were approved two years ago.

Those conditions include agreements to control incoming traffic off of U.S. 30, the use of security measures in the parking lot and around the grounds, submission of a site plan, approval from state and local health departments for the camping areas, and a curfew for any entertainment and fireworks of 1 a.m.

In other business, the BZA approved the following petitions:

• Richard Nelson’s petition for a variance permitting a 10 x 16 shed to remain as placed 13 feet to the south right of way on West Bensart Drive on Beaver Dam Lake near Claypool

• Randy and Lisa Rinker’s petition to allow an addition to an existing accessory building, creating an oversized accessory building on Ind. 13 just outside of Syracuse.

• Jamel Meerzo’s petition to allow a home-based pier business to expand by allowing the construction of a pole building on a tract to be combined by covenant to this tract in an agricultural district on Ind. 13 north of North Webster.

• Eric Hamman’s two petitions allowing mineral extraction in an agricultural district, and allowing mineral extraction in a residential rental on Syracuse-Webster Road near North Webster.

• Nancy Veach’s petition to replace a mobile home and shed with another mobile home near Tippecanoe Lake on North CR 450E.

Other petitions were granted conditionally, including:

• Williard Watkins needs a letter of support to build a pergola with a metal roof five feet from a property line on East Wesley Lane, North Webster.

• Chad Stover’s petition for a residential  addition that will be six feet from a right of way on North Denzel Drive, Syracuse, was granted on the condition such additions do not extend any closer to the property line than the existing structure.

• Ross Sibery was granted permission to build a accessory building on his property on EMS B42F Lane in Warsaw, provided the old sheds on the property are torn down.

• Danny and Gloria Tenney’s request to build an oversized accessory building on their property on North Third Street in Oswego was granted on the condition everything on the property be stored inside the new structure.

A request for a variance by Howard Brown to build a guest house and pergola on his property on North Majestic Way, Syracuse, was tabled to the June 12 meeting.

Chip Shots: How Callous IS It?
For every 700 to 1,000 words of mine you read on any given Saturday, I have a list of callous, cynical thoughts and remarks I can make about the topics I discuss… easily five-fold of what I allow past my filter and, in turn, e-mail to my editor.
