Indiana Court of Appeals
Monroe County Board of Zoning Appeals v. William J. Huff, II Revocable Trust, et al.
24A-PL-2771
Civil. Appeal from the Monroe Circuit Court. Special Judge Erik C. Allen. Reverses the trial court’s order that set aside the Monroe County Board of Zoning Appeals’ denial of a variance. Holds the BZA properly classified Huff’s request as a design standards variance, not a use variance, and that collateral estoppel barred relitigation of statutory arguments previously rejected in a related enforcement action. Further holds the BZA’s determination that Huff failed to establish “practical difficulties” was not arbitrary, capricious, or unsupported by substantial evidence. Concludes the trial court improperly reweighed evidence and substituted its judgment for that of the BZA. Reinstates the BZA’s denial of the variance. Appellant attorneys: David Schilling, Justin Roddye. Appellee attorneys: Chou-il Lee, Jeffrey Stemerick, Jeffrey Parker.
