Fishers BZA approves accessory-dwelling-unit variance at Cynthia Road with recording and no-rent condition
Summary
The Fishers Board of Zoning Appeals approved VA-25-19 to permit a secondary dwelling unit in an accessory structure at 10712/10714 Cynthia Road, conditioned on recording documents with the Hamilton County Recorder's Office and prohibiting rental; petitioner Scott Barnes answered board questions about the existing garage.
The Fishers Board of Zoning Appeals on Nov. 19 approved a variance (VA-25-19) allowing a secondary dwelling unit in an accessory structure on residential property at 10712 and 10714 Cynthia Road. Petitioner Scott Barnes described the existing structure as a garage; board members asked whether a replacement garage would be added and whether the petitioner would reside at 10714.
Chair Adrian Fishers opened the public hearing for the item; no members of the public spoke. An unidentified board member moved to approve the variance with specific conditions: that the approval letter and related documents be recorded with the Hamilton County Recorder's Office; that the accessory dwelling unit "shall not be rented out for any reason"; and that it "shall only be used by the property owner or guests of the property owner." A board member seconded the motion.
The clerk called the roll; the recorded responses were affirmative and Chair Fishers declared the motion passed. The transcript captures the board's conditions verbatim in the motion language. The board offered the petitioner good luck and moved on to other business.
Staff also noted the board plans to meet in December on Dec. 17, and Chair Fishers adjourned the Nov. 19 meeting.
