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.
Board votes against clean fill site

Despite a pending lawsuit against the city, the Seymour Plan Commission has not backed down from its previous stance against a local business plans to develop property just north of the city into a clean fill site.
During a mostly virtual meeting last Thursday, commissioners voted 9-1 against BP2 Construction’s most recent petition for a land use variance that would allow the fill site to operate in the 2300 block of North State Road 11, which is in the city’s two mile zoning jurisdiction.
Commissioner Gary Colglazier was the only one to vote in favor of the petition, while Rick Schleibaum abstained from the vote.
