ZONING BOARD APPROVES FAIRACRES DEVELOPMENT IN 3-2 VOTE
(Wayne County, IN)--Richmond’s Board of Zoning Appeals addressed a proposal involving the Fairacres neighborhood Wednesday. Property owners at the intersection of U.S. 27 and Crescent Drive want to do this: "...construct two new duplexes on two lots," said Gordon Moore, who represents the owners. "They'll be rented for approximately $1800 per month. The owners will be contacting Reid (Health) and trying to negotiate to rent to doctors and nurses. Everything about these units will be upscale," Moore added. Two variances were requested. Numerous residents of Fairacres then addressed the Board to address their opposition to the project. The Board roll call was two in favor and two against, which meant it was left to Sherry Oler Hemingway to cast the deciding vote in her very first meeting. "um....yes," was her response. A second variance request also passed.
