Plan Commission Hears Petitions For Rezoning
Downsizing within Zimmer Corp.created a need for Daniel J.Conley to find another way to retire. He decided to buy some property, build on five of the 20 acres, and then sell the five acres.In order to get the ball rolling, though, he needed to petition the Kosciusko County Area Plan Commission Wednesday for preliminary plat approval. "I bought that with the intention of retiring in the country," Conley told APC. "What I would like to do is build a house and barn combination.There'll be a block firewall between the two." He then told the APC he will sell the house-barn combo and the five acres they're on to go into retirement on the rest of the 15 acres.Conley also said he would make sure that the property always stays in the hands of his family. Conley petitioned the APC to rezone the 20 acres from an Agricultural District to an Agricultural II District.The property is on the north side of CR 300N and east of CR 200W in Plain Township.
