Hearing Officer 6/8/2026

The Kosciusko County Government held a Board of Zoning Appeals meeting on June 8, 2026, primarily focused on reviewing and approving various zoning variances and exceptions related to property use and construction. Key procurement-related discussions included approval of petitions for construction projects such as residential additions, decks, sheds, fences, and accessory buildings, including a 26 by 36-foot accessory building for the Tippecanoe Township fire department. Several cases involved permitting structures closer to property lines or water edges than normally allowed, with conditions such as obtaining permits before construction. The board also approved a home-based business exception for a U-Pick Flower Farm and addressed zoning compliance for a commercial property with living quarters. Motions to approve or continue cases were passed accordingly, with no significant budget or contract awards discussed during the meeting.
