Devon Borkholder, Etna Green, presented his request Monday night to the Warsaw Board of Zoning Appeals for a special exception for his property on 522 S.McClellan St. After a recent fire destroyed much of the property, Borkholder planned to restructure the existing building and implement a two-family dwelling, or duplex, pending the board's approval. Terri Davis, of 602 S.McClellan St., opposed the request, saying that replacing the current building with a duplex would create parking difficulties and obstruct visibility from her driveway. "I have a hard time exiting now without anyone living there," Davis said."I can't imagine what it will be like if the duplex went in and I have four more cars to deal with." After reviewing construction plans, the board unanimously approved Borkholder's request, saying that a 25-foot setback on the property would help parking situations.
