Board approves setback and corner-visibility variances for Indiana Institute of Technology retaining wall and fence
Summary
The Fort Wayne Board of Zoning Appeals approved two variances for the Indiana Institute of Technology at 1222 Wall St — a setback reduction for a retaining wall and permission for a retaining wall and fence within corner visibility — on motions citing Findings of Fact; votes were 5–0 on both items.
The Fort Wayne Board of Zoning Appeals on May 21 approved two variances for the Indiana Institute of Technology at 1222 Wall St (west of 1701 College St).
The board granted DSV-2026-0034, reducing setbacks for a retaining wall, and UVAR-2026-0020, allowing a retaining wall and fence within corner visibility. The approvals were moved by Connie Haas-Zuber and seconded by Jay Wilhelm; each motion "carried" with the recorded tally of 5–0. The minutes record that an applicant representative spoke on behalf of the proposals and that no members of the public spoke for or against the requests.
The petitions were reviewed under I3 (Intensive Industrial) zoning. Both motions were approved "based on certain Findings of Fact that are to be made a part of these minutes," and approvals are subject to continuous compliance with those Findings. The board’s formal action and the address for the site are recorded in the minutes.
