Hearing Officer 8.10.2026

The Kosciusko County Board of Zoning Appeals held a meeting on August 10, 2026, to consider multiple variance and exception requests related to property development and construction projects. Key procurement-related discussions included approvals for construction and additions of residential and accessory buildings, such as a 30x40 accessory building for a shop, a 30x40 building for animal handling at Owens Fresh Meat Market, and a 33x26 addition to an existing accessory building. Several variances were granted for setbacks from roadways, property lines, and water edges, as well as for fence heights and placement of mobile homes. The board also addressed permits and compliance with health and safety regulations, including septic system requirements and federal oversight for meat processing operations. All projects were approved with conditions to obtain necessary permits and ensure adherence to zoning and health codes. No formal votes or contract awards were detailed beyond the approval of variances and exceptions.
