Summary of Proceedings

Indianapolis BZA Division 2 Hearing March 12, 2019

On March 12, 2019, the Metropolitan Board of Zoning Appeals Division 2 convened a public hearing at 6:00 PM to consider zoning variance petitions. The board, chaired by Mark Young, addressed continuances for several cases and approved one variance. The hearing was recorded by Ron Hampton, with legal counsel Chris Steinmetz present.

Continuances and Special Requests

  • 2019-UV2-001 (1151 West Thompson Road): Petitioner's attorney Paul Carroll requested a 30-day continuance to address staff concerns regarding floodplain and improvement locations. No objections were raised, and the board moved the petition to the April 9, 2019 hearing date without additional notice.
  • 2019-UV2-003 (552 Jefferson Street): Petitioner's attorney Christopher McAwee, newly retained, requested a continuance to April 2, 2019 (BZA Division 1), citing scheduling conflicts. Remonstrator Leona Kruska opposed, noting work had already commenced and expressing readiness to oppose. Staff noted potential inadequate time for new information but did not object. The board granted the continuance without additional notice.
  • 2018-DV2-052 (1230 South Talbot Street): No petitioner representative appeared. Staff recommended a one-month continuance for lack of prosecution. The board moved the case to the BZA Division 3 hearing on March 19, 2019, without additional notice.

Discussion Items

  • 2019-UV2-004 (6173 North College Avenue): Mark and Kristen Dutton requested a variance of use and development standards to convert a 1,000-square-foot bungalow into a law office for Dutton Legal Group. The property required three off-street parking spaces, which were deemed deficient. Staff had no objections. The board approved the variance unanimously.
