Hughes observed that Yoder has given that handed on, and his son and nephews wish to proceed and increase the business, which is the reason for the asked for zoning modify.
“So, the DPUD truly enlarges the place that handles the enterprise into the industry, and defines and 8-furthermore acre spot that would characterize the business enterprise,” Hughes reported, noting that any remaining farm land would remain agriculturally zoned. “They do have 30 employees now, so they are continuing to mature. So, Jason is appropriate that it is no for a longer time appropriate for a special use. It’s time to look at the rezoning.”

“They’ve operated there at this place for a extended time,” Hughes included. “There’s no conflict with the neighbors. The Yoder Family members owns the home to the north, south and west of this. So, there’s a significant buffer to the subdivision to the east there. And they are about a quarter mile from Ind. 19, so a bulk of the site visitors goes out to Ind. 19 and does not trigger a hazard to the community.”
Requested if it would be achievable for the relatives to expand the organization in the long run under the new zoning designation, Auvil pointed out that if it were being an expansion of 10{3e92bdb61ecc35f2999ee2a63f1e687c788772421b16b0136989bbb6b4e89b73} or fewer of what is present, that could be finished administratively, when an expansion of between 10{3e92bdb61ecc35f2999ee2a63f1e687c788772421b16b0136989bbb6b4e89b73} to 20{3e92bdb61ecc35f2999ee2a63f1e687c788772421b16b0136989bbb6b4e89b73} would have to have to be completed via the Elkhart County System Commission.
“And if it is additional than 20{3e92bdb61ecc35f2999ee2a63f1e687c788772421b16b0136989bbb6b4e89b73}, it would have to be brought as an modification back again to the County Commissioners,” he additional.
