Vermillion County Board of Zoning Appeals grants special exception for 1996 mobile home in Clinton
Summary
The Vermillion County Board of Zoning Appeals granted petition 25‑02 on Aug. 14, 2025 to place a 1996 mobile home at 2458 E. 1510 S., Clinton, conditional on splitting the parcel to create a minimum one‑acre lot; the decision was unanimous.
The Vermillion County Board of Zoning Appeals voted unanimously on Aug. 14, 2025 to grant petition 25‑02, a special exception to place a 1996 mobile home on property at 2458 East 1510 South in Clinton Township.
The board recorded that the petitioners had advertised in the Tribune Star, sent certified notices to eight adjacent property owners and consulted the county health department about the septic system. The petitioners proposed splitting the 10‑acre parcel so the mobile‑home parcel would be roughly 1.09 acres.
Board members voted separately on the five required findings of fact — including public health and safety, effect on neighborhood property values, and adequacy of utilities and access — and approved each finding. After those votes the board’s written decision granted the special exception “subject to any conditions stated in the minutes,” and the minutes identify the parcel split as a condition of the approval.
Meeting attendees said no neighbors called the county in opposition before the hearing. The petitioners said they would pump and test the existing septic system and, if necessary, address septic improvements before occupancy. The board noted that the driveway and access were already in place and that pier pads would be used to set the mobile home over existing concrete supports.
The board’s roll call at the start of the BZA session listed five members present: Travis Newman, John Graves, Barbara Phillips, Judy Palancey and Joe Ellis; the final decision was unanimous.
The special exception advances the petitioners’ plan to split the property and place the 1996 mobile home on the newly created parcel; the board incorporated standard conditions into the minutes requiring the parcel division prior to final approval.
