# 11/4/2026 Zionsville Board of Zoning Appeals

The Town of Zionsville Board of Zoning Appeals met on November 4, 2026. The Board appointed Roger Kilmer as BZA secretary and approved the September minutes. It accepted the withdrawal of docket 2026-20-AP after staff determined, based on additional engineering and survey information and legal guidance, that the deck at issue qualified as a pervious surface. Docket 2026-26-DSV, for Fox Lane Homes, was continued to the December 2 meeting while the petitioner addresses engineering comments; a board member indicated this would likely be the final continuance. No procurement, contract awards, or spending decisions were identified.

The Board heard docket 2026-19-UV for Honeysuckle, a proposed winery, distillery, and event center in the agricultural zone. Neighbors raised concerns about amplified music, event capacity, fireworks, traffic, and distillery operations; supporters emphasized the project’s agricultural and historic-preservation benefits. The petitioner offered proposed sound limits, additional evergreen plantings, and limits on fireworks, while discussion also addressed a possible attendance cap and event security. The Board continued the petition for further review, requesting written plans of operation for all uses, written commitments, and an update on coordination with Boone County Highway, Public Works, and INDOT. The motion references December 2, while the chair’s vote announcement says December 7, so the transcript is inconsistent on the continuance date. The Board approved docket 2026-25-DSV, 3–1, allowing a detached garage up to 32 feet 9 inches high, subject to a condition prohibiting a bedroom, bathroom, or kitchen. It also approved the 2027 BZA calendar with the January meeting moved from January 6 to January 20 and the legal-notice date set for January 6.
