Board grants permanent non‑conforming status at 505 Gould Street to aid refinancing
Summary
After a public hearing, the Board of Trustees voted unanimously to grant permanent non‑conforming status in the B‑1 Historic District for 505 Gould Street at the petitioner's request to satisfy a bank refinancing requirement.
The Village of Beecher Board of Trustees voted unanimously May 12 to approve a permanent non‑conforming status for the property at 505 Gould Street to accommodate the petitioner’s bank refinancing needs. Trustee Gardner opened the public hearing and moved to approve the status; the motion was seconded by Trustee Tieri and passed 5–0.
Petitioner Mike Barkus attended the hearing and asked the board to approve the status so his lender would have documentation needed for refinancing. No members of the public spoke in opposition during the hearing. The board closed the public hearing and formally granted the non‑conforming designation under the village’s B‑1 Historic District rules, as recorded in the board minutes.
The vote resolves the immediate financing request; any subsequent changes to the property that would affect compliance with the B‑1 Historic District standards would require review under the Village’s planning and zoning procedures.
