Summary

Attorney Christopher Willoughby asked Feb. 10 for a continuance of petition B-101-25 (Crew Car Wash/Big Red LLC) so city departments can review additional materials; the board granted the request and set the hearing for March 10 at 6 p.m.

The Michigan City Board of Zoning Appeals voted Feb. 10 to continue the hearing on petition B-101-25 from Big Red LLC/Crew Car Wash until March 10 at 6 p.m., after the applicant asked for more time to provide information requested by city departments.

Christopher Willoughby, attorney for the petitioner, said additional information had been requested by city departments and apologized for asking the board to delay the public hearing until those issues are resolved. “I apologetically request a continuance of this because it seems that it would be best to have the public hearing and those that are interested ... have all the information that is necessary so that we can make an informative decision,” Willoughby said.

Planning staff acknowledged they had received new sanitation information and recommended honoring the continuance request so department feedback and stakeholder input can be included. A board member moved to continue the hearing until the March 10 meeting; the motion was seconded and approved by roll call.

The continuance means the board will revisit the petition with additional department input and public notice at the March 10 meeting at the usual chamber time.
