Property owner asks Kincaid board to restore Garden Street lots to agricultural zoning
Summary
Owner Gary Daum asked the village to correct county zoning records and reclassify back lots on Garden Street as agricultural after tax-assessment and map changes dating to 2003–2004; trustees agreed to route the matter to a variance/committee hearing to create an official paper trail.
Gary Daum told the Village of Kincaid board he wants back lots behind his Garden Street property rezoned to agricultural, saying the lots historically were farmed and that county tax and zoning records changed around 2003–2004 without clear local minutes or notice. "He would just like to get it zoned back as farm," Daum said, asking the board to create a formal local record rather than rely on inconsistent county maps.
Resident and FOIA researcher Clare Duran said she reviewed minutes back to 1980 and found no record of a formal change that would move the lots from agriculture to residential or commercial. Mayor Tony Pezze and trustees agreed the correct procedural route is a variance hearing or formal application so the board can document any rezoning decision; Trustee Rahar recommended taking it to committee so future disputes have an explicit record. The board did not vote on rezoning at the meeting and asked the clerk to prepare the paperwork to place the item on a variance/committee agenda.
