Boat Company Granted Exception By BZA
WARSAW — Wawasee Boat Company was granted an exception by the Kosciusko County Board of Zoning Appeals during its regular monthly meeting Tuesday morning, July 14, in Warsaw.
The boat company requested an exception to alter a previously granted exception by allowing a 100 x 120 feet building addition on its property on Cornelius Road in Turkey Creek Township. The building will mean there will be less outside storage and more inside storage.
Other agenda items included:
• Serenity Golf Club was granted an exception for peat moss harvesting where peat moss will be stripped off and sold for landscaping on Old US 30, west of CR 600E in Washington Township. Approval was granted with the condition all proper approvals from the Indiana Department of Environmental Management and others are obtained.
