BZA to hold public hearing on Prep use

The Syracuse board of zoning, on Thursday evening, July 15, made no decisions on the petition concerning zoning for the unit development plans of Wawasee Prep. The petition was referred to the plan commission, who will make further studies of the request filed by Gordon Medlock on behalf of the International Constructors. The petition asks for zoning approval for a unit development plan involving the Wawasee Prep. The plan commission, in hopes of receiving community input, will hold a public hearing on the issue at 7:30 p.m. on July 29 in the town hall. The International Constructors members, Medlock of South Bend. Bruce Bades of Fort Wayne, Charles Techett of Indianapolis and James McCutcheon of Parkersburg, W. Va., signed an option to purchase the Prep in January of this year. Their intent is to create a retirement dwelling facility composed of 143 apartments and 40 beds for health care and employing 100 to 150 people at an estimated investment exceeding $4 million. As a boarding school in the past. W’awasee Prep did not conform to the existing Bresidential zoning due to its existance prior to the adoption of the residential ordinance. Along with the zoning petition a detailed plan for proposed location and use of the land were presented. Proposed structures include garages, storage space and commercial activities, business, commercial and recreation uses such as a beauty shop, barber shop, drug store, convenience shopping and a branch bank. No other commercial uses other than those permitted in the business district would exist and planned business, commercial and recreational facilities would not be detrimental to the surrounding residences Variances The board of zoning appeals also considered various requests for variances. Tow-n board president James Tranter stated that Harold Douglas Shrock has begun tearing down the house on the

street side at 206 South Lake street. Shrock had refused to remove the structure as he agreed to do when granted a variance to construct a second home on the lake side of the property in May 1974. Removal proceeded when Robert Reed, attorney, was asked to tile suit against him. The BZA tabled a request to grant Dennis Ringler a variance to place a mobile home, for residential purposes, at CR 1050 N, since he was not in attendace at the meeting. A three to two vote granted a variance to Bernard Greider to place a mobile home on CR 1100 N adjacent to the Noble county line with the stipulation that Greider be the only occupant of the mobile home which will be on his father’s 40 acre farm. Voting for Grader’s variance were chairman John Brewer, Meyer Maidenburg and William Pipp. Dee Stiver and Charles Kroh opposed the decision. There were no remonstrators. Stiver’s reasoning for not favoring the decision was that he did not want to see mobile homes being scattered throughout Turkey Creek township. Past variances have been granted only for a parent to live in a mobile home or when plans for future building on the site were involved. A request to build a home on lot 20 in Rock’s Second addition was granted to Eugene and Nancy Roose Os Muncie with the stipulation they not use the garage, to be built first, as a residence. There were no remonstrators. The BZA granted a variance to build four and one half foot closer to the lakefront lot line by Harold and Suzanne Goebel than is ordinarily allowed in the zoning ordinance on Lot 40 of Crow’s addition to Ogden Island. They presented letters by adjoining property owners approving of the construction. The plan commission president, secretary Joseph Gray, Jim Tranter and BZA members met following the adjournment of the meeting to discuss the land use map concerned with the rezoning study being conducted presently in the township.

The length of the course was actually 26 miles. 365 yards beginning at the Memorial Coliseum, south across town, reversing direction at Foster

Park and ending, again at the Coliseum. And, for those of you who know anything at all about Fort Wayne, that’s a long way. Homer placed 113 out of 360 runners participating, completing the course in about 3Vb hours. The winning time, by the way, was 2:30:08, captured by an Illinois man. How are the legs, today, Homer? THE GOOD Twins are coming back to Milford. They are Gospel singers and have been at the Christian church several times, proving popular with the entire community as they present their message of the Gospel in song. The twins are first cousins to Mrs. Larry Shook of Syracuse. Her husband is the new swim coach at WHS. SPORTS FANS should be proud of the Wawasee girls ball team.

With the addition of girls ball to the Milford Summer Recreation program sometime ago, a number of Our Town’s youngsters should be on the high school team in the future.
