SYRACUSE -ÊA decision on a controversial petition to the Syracuse Board of Zoning Appeals was continued for another month Thursday while the petitioner waits for a response from the Indiana Department of Transportation. Casey's General Store petitioned to put a service station and retail store in a commercial district.They also asked for a variance to permit the construction of a service station and retail store 5.3 feet from a rear (east) line and 17 feet from the road right-of-way. The property is on the east side of Ind.13 and 67 feet north of High Street in Syracuse. At the April 7 meeting of the Kosciusko County Area Plan Commission, the commission voted to send Casey's petition to rezone the ground from a residential district to a commercial district to the Syracuse plan commission without a recommendation.The rezoning was approved by the Syracuse Plan Commission.
