BZA stands against proposed fill site
12/21/20 9:33 AM
The Seymour Board of Zoning Appeals has upheld a decision by the city plan commission to deny a land use variance to a local business to operate a clean fill site just north of city limits.
BZA members voted 4-0 against BP2 Construction’s request during a mostly virtual meeting last week. Board President John Richey abstained from the vote.
Jason Smith, attorney for BP2, spoke on behalf of the company. He said the 14-acre property in the 2300 block of North State Road 11 isn’t suited for any commercial business “as is.”
The land sits too low and would need to be built up, and there are no utilities currently available to the property, he said.
