BZA approves 12-unit condominiums at Wawasee

By STACEY LESCH Staff Writer

Backed by at least 20 remonstrators of a petition by the Wawasee Overlook, Robert Hepler appeared before the Kosciusko County Board of Zoning Appeals, Tuesday, to discourage the board from approving the modification of a 14-unit condominium. Filed for the board's approval in December of 1988 but failing to be accepted, Hepler said the petition was the same and that it should once again be denied by the board classifying the proposed project as a “hotel which should be in a commercial zone.” Appearing on behalf of the Wawasee Overlook, attorney Steve Snyder explained the request: Presently, nine rental cottages occupy the 67.082 square feet of land, located on the north side of Warner Road just off SR 13 in Syracuse, proposed for the project. The petition would allow the cottages to be removed and a 14-unit condominium complex to be erected. Snyder stated that because the units would be privately-owned, rather than rentals. the property will be well maintained year-round and the tax value of surrounding properties should increase. In addition. Snyder said the condominiums will improve the safety factor. With the construction. the now existing access road to the property, which is on SR 13. would be divided into two access roads, both to be located on Lakeview Drive. Snyder indicated that a mounded sewer system approved by the state of Indiana for a 14-unit complex will be installed toward the SR 13 side of the tract. The com plex will also provide an enclosed garage and space for three

remaining nine students will be rescheduled into other language programs by the guidance department. Mikel also asked what has been found regarding an access to Milford School from CR 1250. It ' was noted that Robert Reed, school attorney, showed board members a map which shows no easement, but did not include the new track area at the school. Dr. Thornton stated he would look into the matter further. Bill Troup noted that the board

vehicles per unit and will be virtually invisible from the road. Believing the residents of Lake Wawasee fear an increase in boat traffic, Snyder instructed the board that a survey taken on Sunday, July 2, at various condominiums surrounding the lake, that boat traffic will not generate any substantial boat traffic. Hepler argued the petition and the projects safety saying that the access road, if moved to Lakeview Drive, is a one-way-street too narrow to conveniently cater to heavy traffic. Other residents living near the propertyquestioned such things as the water run-off capabilities when a parking lot for the units is paved. A letter addressed to the board from the Wawasee PropertyOwners Association explained that the property owners were concerned with the proposal, but did not indicate any opposition. Upon reading a letter from the Wawasee Property Owners Association which expressed concern for the project "but did not indicate anv opposition." the board approved the petition, by a 3-2 vote, with the stipulation that only a 12-unit condominium complex be erected. Snyder indicated earlier in the meeting that although 14-units would be more economical, that number could effectively be taken down to 12. Approved Among the requests approved by the board was a petition by

Commissioners draw up estimated 1990 budget

Alihough it was not a binding plan, the county commissioners met on Tuesday, July 11. and drew up an estimated budget for next year Actual county budget hearings for 1990 will be held later this year. Many amounts for the budget remained the same as last ye&r but some changes were proposed Among those was a proposed appropriation of $2,000 for a solid waste study. The need for such a study is appare.nl as. in this county. there is a growing problem concerning where to put solid waste. Another change involves the county council's budget Any costs concerning the council were taken out of the commissioner's budget, as that body will now have its own budget. Expenses removed from the budget include $9,750 for council salaries and $2,000 for county attorney's fees Workman's compensation has been increasing during the last

has been talking for some time about a walk way from Main Street to the high school along the Syra-Web Road. He suggested since the area is torn up for the town sewer project, it would be an opportunity to see about putting a walk way in. This will also be looked into by the administration. Dr. Thornton noted a board meeting on July 25 for the purpose of reviewing the 1990 corporation budget. This meeting will be at 7 p.m.. in the board room.

Lowell Showalter for a home occupational office. Although Showalter requested an office in his home and a boat repair service on the property, the board only granted the allowance of an office with no boats or signs to appear on the property. Three petitions, filed by Worth Packer for the construction of' duplexes on property located on the west side of Lakeview Drive and northwest of Backwater Road, were approved without stipulations. Denied The BZA rejected several petitions during the July meeting including a request by Daniel Boyle to approve a deck already constructed on his lake property on the west side of Old 13 A and south of Cinderella Drive. Upon reviewing the petition and listening to neighboring remonstrators. the board denied the petition ordering Boyle to tear the structure down. A request by Dennis Hipskind to accept the construction of an oversized accessory building on a lot located east of Waterland Way Channel in Turkey Creek Township was denied. A second petition by Hipskind for a variance, which would permit the construction, was dropped by the board. The next meeting of the BZA will be held Tuesday. August 8 in the meeting room in the basement of the Justice Building.

several years and for 1990, things look no different. This year's proposed appropriation is $20,000. In 1988, workman's compensation was $13,507.65 and in 1989, $18,260. Some county organizations got the nod for proposed appropriations. For example. $33,350 was allotted to the Kosciusko County Fair Association. Earlier this year, members of the fair board came before the commissioners and received money totalling $27,500. Recently, representatives of Home Health Care Service came before the commissioners and requested $30,000 to aid their organization. At that time, June 20, the commissioners agreed to study the request. At yesterday's budget session, they allotted the $30,000 amount to the service. Money for the county historical society remained the same at $17,000, while the Beaman Home also stayed steady at SII,OOO.

In 1990, the effort will be split in half between in county and out of

Syracuse. Trammel stated the restaurant will be open later this summer. "It is a great location for a carryout and drive-through facility. We will be emphasizing speed and service, but not at the expense of the quality of our product," mentioned Trammel.

Trammel noted by calling ahead, customers will have their orders ready for pick-up. During the lunch hours and the use of the Personal Pan Pizza.
