Cougar Martin of Martin Brothers Construction, representing owners Marilyn J. and Michael K. Rogers, told the board the project replaces an existing deck and will remain within the current footprint. \"We're just replacing the existing deck with a new deck,\" Martin said. He said the new deck will be composite material rather than the treated wood currently in place and will remain roughly the same height (about 20 to 24 inches) above grade.

Planning staff reported an error on the mailed notice to adjoining property owners: one notice incorrectly listed the east side of Old Hickory Drive rather than the west side, and one owner's name (Michael) was omitted. Staff also confirmed white receipt cards showing the notices were mailed. A complainant's email about the notice was included in the board packet.

Board member Mike Mason read findings of fact supporting the variance, including that the existing deck was a preexisting nonconforming structure and that the request did not expand the footprint. Mason read the standard hardship and minimum-modification findings into the record. The variance includes conditions: obtain an improvement location permit and a building permit, keep the property in compliance with the Warrick County comprehensive zoning ordinance, and ensure utility easements and facilities are in place. The variance expires in six months unless a permit is obtained; the secretary may grant a single renewal for good cause.

No remonstrators appeared at the hearing. A motion to approve the variance was made, seconded and the chair announced the motion carried.

The board record notes the structure is a corner lot with limited backyard depth; the applicant said the new deck will not increase the deck size beyond the existing footprint. The board's motion and findings of fact emphasize that the variance is the minimum necessary modification to preserve a substantial property right and is not intended to provide a profit advantage to the owner.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","7/28/25 Warrick County BZA Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","Warrick County BZA approved a variance allowing Martin Brothers Construction to replace an existing deck within a 25-foot rear setback at 3333 Old Hickory Drive, subject to permits and standard conditions; notice to adjoining property owners had a mailing error noted in staff report.","taxTitle","taxId",65985,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":75,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":76,"_41":77,"_43":78,"_45":79,"_47":80,"_49":81,"_51":82,"_53":83,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":84,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":85,"_67":56,"_68":69,"_70":56,"_71":72,"_73":72},6485029,"Warrick County BZA approves Mission First special use with 18-month completion condition",499,598000,1097000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5521738-4562f51353cba5472d341060ac92611f&start=598&end=1097","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5521738-4562f51353cba5472d341060ac92611f/thumbnail_598000.jpg","/articles/6485029/Warrick-County/Indiana/Warrick-County-BZA-approves-Mission-First-special-use-with-18-month-completion-condition","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6485029-7fc21b359782a03fe240fd3f0e7d2ee9/orig.mp4?Expires=1775403555&Signature=aCreZ9t2GKn2PjLk554ihBfRMc8X60cpyespwyF9XBXLtuo-xVUId7gU07q7-f2qSLOK9qsT0Hyb0PxmG7OruIgFauRk-OLHKL9qZU45Ltz~0FJ9aStHIYoxAvbTQvB-d86TZ63IkC67qI9dZaPgS9c01LsSlP8Xn-IphkyalQmcGtO1QAidMKiPbkvcc-yvVfMZc37-4ltFxy5SrmOTBpz11x8M8ED-EcQj1Lrt1sPWhlUOYNO7BlLn4WOMkySED5GIr1kMNJrWC6MNtJYJox6H4GydXKw3lVqwxVk9yAi5FK5uokKjmsxM2W9OeZs6a2aC2bjGVBJxCYCwXhvJNA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Warrick County Board of Zoning Appeals on July 17 approved Special Use BZA-SU-25-14, allowing Mission First Inc. to develop a private recreational area on about 90 acres along West Dittney Hill Road, subject to required permits and an 18-month completion condition.

The approval came after applicant Daniel Barr, president of Mission First, told the board the organization had secured full funding and expected construction to be finished within the requested 18-month timeframe. \"We're planning to open in 2027,\" Barr said. He said the organization had secured $8.5 million in funding and engaged about 50 veterans in property preparation.

The board's approval included standard findings and a list of conditions read into the record: compliance with the Warrick County Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance, all required public utility easements and facilities to be in place, required improvement location and building permits obtained, required state permits obtained, a commercial site review before issuance of permits, and that the special-use development be completed within 18 months of approval.

Barr described planned year-round programming for veterans and said group activities would occur at least once a week. He also described a 3.5-acre lake on the property that will host events such as a kids' fishing tournament for veterans' children. Barr said a general contractor, Albert Spenler, has committed to meeting the proposed construction timeline; Gary Eichner has completed initial ground stabilization work.

Board members asked clarifying questions about schedule and frequency of activities. When asked whether the site would operate year-round, Barr said, \"Year round. Yes. Absolutely.\" On activity frequency he said, \"There will be people out there once a week. Once a week, we will have group activities that will go on.\" The applicant also said construction would pause during firearms seasons to avoid safety concerns.

No remonstrators appeared at the hearing. A motion to approve the special use with the 18-month performance condition was made and seconded; the board voted to approve the request and the chair announced that the motion carried.

The approval allows Mission First to proceed to secure required permits and complete commercial site review and state approvals before occupancy and program operations begin. The board record also notes that state septic approval has been received and the applicant is coordinating remaining septic and health board items.

Next steps cited by the applicant include obtaining remaining permits, continuing construction work through the contractor, and completing the site build-out within the 18-month window specified by the BZA.","The Warrick County Board of Zoning Appeals approved a special-use permit for Mission First Inc. to develop a private recreational area (\"Sanctuary on the Hill\") on Dittney Hill Road, subject to permits and an 18-month completion requirement.","actionData","errors"]
