Summary

The board approved a request to modify a previously approved variance to allow four adults in group housing at 1904 E. 22nd St., granting the variance for this applicant only after staff confirmed building permits and Bureau of Disability Services approval.

Dominice Davis asked the board to allow group housing for up to four adults at 1904 East 22nd Street, noting the property now has a four-bedroom floor plan and that approvals from the Bureau of Disability Services and the city building commissioner are in place. Staff advised the board that the building permit had been obtained and that the structure appeared to meet egress requirements; the board conditioned the approval to the applicant only.

The motion passed 5–1. Staff noted potential code items (egress openings and non-locking bathroom doors for laundry/egress safety) and said the applicant is working with the chief fire inspector and the Indiana Department of Homeland Security plan-review staff for clarification as needed. The board will certify approval and the applicant may proceed to apply for any remaining permits.
