Porter County board denies Evans zoning request after petitioner withdraws application
Summary
A variance request by Timothy and Monica Evans for property in Morgan Township was denied after the petitioner withdrew the application; the board recorded a voice vote to deny and noted no substantive reason for the withdrawal in the record.
The Porter County board denied a zoning request for Timothy and Monica Evans after the petitioner withdrew the application for a variance affecting property at 147 East 50 South in Morgan Township.
The board's acting chair read the item in old business and members moved to deny the case after the request was withdrawn. The motion was carried by voice vote; no roll-call tally appears in the record. A board member asked why the application had been withdrawn. A staff member replied, "She just withdrew it," and suggested the reason was personal, which the record does not further specify.
The petition concerned a 5.07-acre lot in a low-density single-family district. Board members confirmed the withdrawal meant the board would deny the case rather than consider the petition on its merits. The transcript records no substantive public testimony or documentary evidence introduced on the item before the board acted.
No further action or conditions were recorded. The minutes show the board treated the withdrawal as the basis for denial and closed the item.
The record does not specify whether the Evanses intend to refile or the precise reason for the withdrawal.
