Huntingburg council approves 5-foot setback reduction for OS Grand Holdings expansion
Summary
The council approved a variance reducing the heavy-industrial setback from 25 to 20 feet for an expansion by OS Grand Holdings Inc., with staff saying site plans and drainage were approved and the project is outside the vision triangle.
The Huntingburg City Council approved a standards variance allowing OS Grand Holdings Inc. to reduce the heavy-industrial setback from 25 feet to 20 feet for an expansion at 4600 South 400 West. The council opened and closed the public hearing after staff confirmed notice requirements and that there was no public opposition.
Nathan Wagner of Cashw Wagner Associates, representing the petitioner, said the expansion is to "accommodate growth and the flow process for all their new equipment and robots they're putting in." Staff told the council the site is outside the vision triangle and that drainage and site plans are approved subject to the variance.
Council members read the UDO-required findings and concluded the variance would not injure public health or the value of adjacent properties and would not conflict with the comprehensive plan. The motion to approve carried; staff will finalize and file the paperwork after the meeting.
The approval allows the developer to align the new building with existing manufacturing structures in the area. The council did not attach additional conditions beyond requiring finalized site and drainage plans to be filed as part of the permit process.
The next procedural step is administrative: the petitioner must submit final electronic site documents to staff so the city can complete recordkeeping and permit issuance.
