Morgan County Board of Zoning Appeals approves zoning variances

The Morgan County Board of Zoning Appeals granted variances to three people during its meeting Monday night.

Cadarrius Hoskins was granted two variances for a building he is planning in the town of Paragon.

I-69 Finish Line: Last stretch of Morgan Street extension to open in July or August.

Hoskins has purchased property at the intersection of State Road 67 and Union Street. He is planning to remove the old structures on the land and construct a garage.

He needed a variance to reduce the front yard setback from the required 25 feet to 10 feet.

He also needed a variance to build his new garage across the property line of his lots.

There was no one in opposition to his requests, which were approved by the board.

The board is requiring him to construct a privacy fence around the area that he will use to hold vehicles which are to be repaired.

Frank and Karen Tejera received a variance to construct a 30- by 40-foot pole barn on their property that will be within seven feet of their property line.

Their property is located at 8221 McWhorter Road in Green Township.

The county ordinance requires a 15-foot setback.

The Tejeras needed the variance due to the location of their septic system on their property.

Their neighbor told the board they had no objection to the request.

Brian and Melissa Bruner received a variance to turn a garage on the property into a living area for their son.

County ordinance requires homes be a minimum of 950 square feet. The garage will be a 576-square-foot home.

The property is located on West Archie Court in Baker Township and no one objected to the request.
