Don Doan's request for reduced setbacks on his property was unanimously approved by the Warsaw Board of Zoning Appeals Monday night. The city code's requirement that Doan put up a privacy fence may pose a problem. According to Doan, who attended Monday's meeting, a recent fire at his residence destroyed 120 feet of fencing he planned on using once he obtained approval for its construction. The BZA petition evolved from an October city code hearing accusing Doan of placing inventory from his shop, Sheradon Enterprises, along the city's right of way. A finding from the hearing recommended Doan erect the fence around his location and place his goods inside the property. Board member Rick Keevan encouraged the board's approval, saying he hoped the situation could come to a mutual agreement between Doan and the city.
