BZA Meeting 2026-08-10

The Greenwood, Indiana Board of Zoning Appeals (BZA) held a meeting on August 10, 2026, primarily addressing a dimensional variance request related to a residential pool setback. The petitioner, Kate Ellner, requested a reduction of the minimum pool setback from 10 feet to 5 feet from the side property line. Staff noted no favorable or unfavorable recommendation but highlighted concerns regarding drainage easements and potential impacts on stormwater management. The board discussed liability for any damages related to the easement and confirmed that the petitioner would be responsible for repairs if damage occurred. The board voted to incorporate all evidence into the record and directed the corporation counsel to draft written findings of fact regarding the variance request. Final action on the variance was scheduled for two weeks later. No procurement, contracting, or budget matters were discussed during this meeting.
