Board of Zoning Appeals - August 2026

The Shelbyville Board of Zoning Appeals held a special meeting on September 1, 2026, to consider setback variance requests for two properties. The first variance involved an 11-foot rear yard setback encroachment for a 20 by 25-foot shop at 305 Graydon Street, where site conditions such as a retaining wall limited building placement. The board approved the variance unanimously, noting no adverse impact on neighbors. The second variance concerned a front yard setback reduction from 70 feet to approximately 68 feet for a property at 1501 East Depot Street, intended for vehicle sales use. The board also approved this variance, allowing the existing metal carport to remain as part of the structure. Both variances met the majority of required criteria, and no neighborhood objections were reported. The meeting included procedural matters such as quorum confirmation, agenda approval, and approval of prior meeting minutes. No direct contract awards, RFPs, or procurement actions were discussed.
