Hobart zoning board defers Seliger shed variance to May 7 amid lack of quorum
Summary
The Hobart City Board of Zoning Appeals postponed the public hearing on a variance request from Barry Seliger to exceed accessory-structure size limits after the board lacked a quorum; the case will be heard May 7, 2026.
Mr. Allen, chair (functional label) of the Hobart City Board of Zoning Appeals, called the April 2, 2026 meeting to order at 5:40 p.m., but the board did not reach a quorum and deferred the public hearing on Petition 26-05 to the May 7, 2026 meeting.
The deferred item, filed by petitioner and owner Barry Seliger, concerns property at 2121 E 9th Place and a request under Sec. 154.006(F)(7) of the zoning code to exceed the permitted 864 square feet for accessory structures by 420 square feet for a proposed 14-by-28-foot shed (permitted 864 sf + 420 sf = 1,284 sf total). The minutes record the deferral and do not show any vote on the variance because no quorum was present.
Because the minutes indicate no quorum, there is no record of public testimony, staff recommendation, motions, or a vote on the Seliger petition in the April 2 minutes. The meeting was closed at 5:41 p.m.
