FINDINGS OF FACT OF THE MOORESVILLE BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS RE: Harlan B. Sterrett and Ruth V. Sterrett Property located at 1021 State Road 144 Mooresville, Indiana This matter came before the Mooresville Board of Zoning Appeals on Wednesday, April 17, 1985, at the regularly scheduled meeting date and time. The petition requested a variance from the use standards of the property described in the attached legal description to the petition. In particular, the request was to allow the use of the property for a C.B. radio repair shop in the garage of the home. The variance also requested a set-back for a sign to go along with the same proposed use. The Mooresville Board of Zoning Appeals, having heard evidence on the above captioned petition now makes the following findings of fact pursuant to Indiana Code 36-7-4-918.4: 1. That the approval of the variance would not be injurious to the public health, safety, morals and general welfare of the community due to the light nature of the business and low volume of the business. 2. That the use and value of the area adjacent to the property included in the variance will not be affected±n a substantially adverse manner in that the volume of the business is very small and there would be no outside advertising to make the area look anything differently than residential. 3. That the need for the variance arises from some condition peculiar to the property involved in that said property is located on a highway across from a school area. 4. That the strict application of the terms of the zoning ordinance will constitute an unnecessary hardship if applied to the property for which the variance is sought since this property does face and is adjacent to a state highway. 5. That the approval does not interfere substantially with the comprehensive plan in that there are other home businesses in the area, one being a beauty shop.
