Board of Zoning Appeals grants variance for Tony Road pole barn
Summary
The Franklin County Board of Zoning Appeals approved a variance allowing a 50x60 pole barn to be built 15 feet from the road (50 feet required) on Tony Road, finding the replacement will sit farther off the road than the existing structure and presenting no neighbor objections at the hearing.
The Franklin County Board of Zoning Appeals approved a variance for a 50x60 pole barn proposed 15 feet from the road on Tony Road in Batesville (variance number 05182026‑V1).
Applicant Ted Builts told the BZA that an existing building in poor repair currently sits closer to the road and must be removed; the proposed replacement will sit approximately five feet farther from the road than the structure it replaces, but power lines and site constraints make moving the building farther back impracticable. The applicant said larger equipment storage needs motivated the request.
No neighbors testified in opposition at the hearing. A board member moved to accept the variance; the motion was seconded and carried. The board directed staff to prepare findings of fact consistent with the approval.
