Noble County BZA approves lot-width variance for J Properties LLC; plat to Plan Commission
Summary
The Board approved Development Standards Variance No. 2402 for J Properties LLC (James E. Parker), relaxing minimum lot-width requirements for a proposed split at 6442 East 500 South and referred the plat to the Plan Commission for signoff.
The Noble County Board of Zoning Appeals approved Development Standards Variance No. 2402 on Wednesday to allow reduced lot-width dimensions for a one-lot split submitted by J Properties LLC, represented by James E. Parker. Staff and the applicant confirmed the proposed lot opens to more than the minimum road-center-line width in the survey (staff cited figures between about 190 and 217 feet), and the board found that strict application of the ordinance would create practical difficulties.
James Parker described the tract as long-established and said he would proceed with the split. Staff noted prior survey errors on older plats but confirmed the current survey and a new drawing submitted by the surveyor satisfy the board’s dimensional concerns. “The plat is different than this board; it’s a different board that approves those,” staff said, explaining next steps for Plan Commission review.
After no public opposition, the board voted to adopt findings and approve the variance, then directed that the plat be forwarded to the Plan Commission for final review and signature. Board members recorded agreement with the findings on the record.
The approved variance covers the lot-width exceptions described in the application for the parcel at 6442 East 500 South (Swan Township). Staff advised the applicant about filing and survey steps needed before final plat recording.
