Preble County zoning panel approves small boundary correction to allow Fisher carport
Summary
The Preble County Rural Zoning Commission on April 7 approved a 0.075-acre parcel transfer to correct a property line and allow a carport on the Fisher property; the 4–0 vote moves the case to the County Commissioners for final hearing May 6.
The Preble County Rural Zoning Commission unanimously approved Case 1643 on April 7, clearing a minor property-line correction that will let Brian and Tammy Fisher build a carport. Chairman Mike Besecker presided over the 4–0 roll-call approval after neighbors and the applicants explained the split.
Neighbor David Coleman told the commission the change is intended to “straighten up the boundary lines” after a survey found the existing line cutting through the area where the Fishers planned to place a carport. Brian Fisher said the family had already applied for a variance to locate structures closer to the rear lot line; the parcel correction—about 0.075 acres—would transfer from Debra Coleman’s farm to the Fisher parcel to resolve the encroachment and clear deed lines for future sale.
Zoning Director Brad Kramer read the application record into the meeting, describing the parcels as approximately 0.94 and 13.574 acres (exclusive of right-of-way) with frontages on New Paris–Hillsboro Road in Jefferson Township. Commissioner John Toschlog moved to approve the case under Section 1103.01, Items B–I; Wm. Clark Brown seconded. The commission voted unanimously to approve the recommendation. Kramer said the case will go before the County Commissioners for final hearing on May 6 at 9:30 a.m.
The commission noted that the Planning Commission had earlier recommended approval by an 8–0 vote. No members of the public objected during the hearing.
