Editor, Times-Union: APC has denied the further probe into ordinances for our county. They must think that IDEM really enforces the very liberal rules they now have in motion.
Kosciusko County Zoning Ordinance already has a rule, labeled 2.13 Overlay District, that covers what may or may not go into that district. The new zoning took effect June 21, 2011.
A CAFO is being proposed in this overlay district. How can this be if the rules are already established? Do the rules only apply to some of the people or some of the businesses?
I suggest that everyone get a copy and read this very interesting set of guidelines and see the map for the overlay district. The last line of this very important rule is, “This ordinance further seeks to foster development that will provide this district with a special sense of place that will increase property values, protect real estate investment, spur commercial activity, and promote the goals and objectives of the comprehensive plan.”
