Board denies Hatchworks request for construction staging and office at Tillman Rd
Summary
The Allen County BZA denied UVAR-2026-0007, a petition from Hatchworks LLC to allow construction staging and an office at 7901 E Tillman Rd; the motion to deny carried 3-1 on April 15, 2026 and the related fence-height variance was not acted on.
The Allen County Board of Zoning Appeals voted to deny UVAR-2026-0007, a request by Hatchworks LLC to allow construction staging and an office at 7901 E Tillman Rd (A1 zoning). The minutes record that the chair opened the petition, the applicant representative presented, and following discussion Board member David Bailey moved to deny the petition based on Findings of Fact. After a second by Dan Gabbard, the motion to deny carried 3-1. The minutes show 0 in support and 3 speakers in opposition during the public comment period.
Because the use-variance petition was denied, the related petition DSV-2026-0026 (a request to increase allowable fence height for the same property) was not acted on. The minutes state the denial is based on Findings of Fact included in the record; audio recordings of the hearing are available from the Department of Planning Services on request for readers who need verbatim testimony.
Provenance: topic first introduced and finalized in SEG 016.
