Charles McGuire, second by Mike Young. Motion carried 2-2. There not being a majority vote the variance was tabled until the May 12,2005. Next was Ross Holloway, Holloway Engineering, representing Alvin Barns, Lot 3 Jessup Place Sec 1 on Keller Hill Road, requesting a variance from development standards for front setback. The rear of the lot borders on Keller Hill Road where there is a power line and buried water line for Hill Water Company. The house is ten feet to close to the front lot line, which is a plating violation to the building setback line. The lot slopes deeply from Jessup Way up to Keller Hill Road. The house was built thinking there was a forty foot set back that was measured from the curb, but regardless the house is built and in place. Because of the steepness of the hill the septic system was set on the only flat area of the entire lot and Morgan County and the Indiana State Department health requirement there must be fifty feet from the last finger and what they call the nearest obstacle to flow, which in this case is the driveway. Motion was made to approve the variance for plat front setback line, which is not in conflict with the Town of Mooresville setback ordinance was made by Mike Young, second by Charles McGuire. Motion carried 4-0. Mr. Holloway asked ifhe could discuss the variance from development standards on Lot 3 of Hopkins Minor Plat on Bridge Street that came before the board in November of 2004. They are planning on building a five bay car wash on the lot and in November they were asked to put in one entrance as far east on the lot as possible. When they started drawing up the plans they found that with the entrance and exit in the same drive this would cause a bottle neck with the traffic flow. They would like to put an entrance only drive to the west side of the lot with the exit only on the east side of the lot. This would allow the flow to come in off of Bridge Street and there would not be a bottle neck and they could queue up behind the car wash. There would only be people on Bridge Street waiting to turn left into the car wash and those turning left going out of the car wash would be waiting on the car wash lot. Motion was made to approve the plan that was represented to improve the traffic flow for the entrance and exit for car wash located on Lot 3 of Hopkins Minor Plat on Bridge Street and make a favorable recommendation to the Plan Commission was made by Mike Young, second by Don Barry. Motion carried 4-0. Next on the agenda was setting the time for the BZA. Mr. Swisher said it had been recommended that they set the time for the meetings at 6:00 P.M. year round. He asked if this would be favorable for all present. Motion was made to move the time of the meetings to 6:00 P.M. year round was made by Mike Young, second by Don Barry. Motion carried 4-0. There being no further business to come before the Board of Zoning Appeals a motion was made to adjourn was made by Don Barry, second by Charles McGuire. Motion carried 4-0.
