BZA-19-24 Administrative Appeal
Kentuckiana Business Development, LLC comes before the Board to appeal previous decision to not
allow business to be relocated at 405 Court Avenue. The property is currently zone DC(Downtown
Commercial).
Representation: Greg Fifer,Applegate, Fifer, Pulliam 428 Meigs Ave and Dr. Cruz is present
• Property is zoned DC which allows for Medical/Dental Centers
• Advised to file certificate of zoning compliance—completed
• Administrative zoning determination—Ordinance 2012-OR-53
• Dr. Cruz submitted response
• Ordinance of pain management clinics
• Treatment protocol—not methadone or suboxone based. Section 9-18.1
I feel Dr. Cruz should be able to practice medicine at this location based on all facts I have presented to
you.
Public Comment: In Favor: Steve Voelker, 615 E. Maple Street is my home and 417 E. Court is my
business. Originally this building was a garage,then a bar,then a bank, now just sitting there vacant. I
would like to see you allow Dr. Cruz to practice medicine there.
Matt Buckley,4733 S. Third St., Louisville, KY
I am a patient of Dr. Cruz, I had back surgery,then, I was hit by a car and became addicted to pain pills.
Dr. Cruz managed my health with suboxone and to date has leveled me off to a very minimal dosage.
Doctors normally do not care but Dr. Cruz does. He should be allowed to move to this building.
Jodi Balentine, 9826 E. Hollrah Rd., Pekin, IN
Every time I have been at Dr. Cruz's office it has been peaceful. I do not see any issues
Karen Stickrod, 2416 Ashwood, Louisville, KY
I was diagnosed with terminal cancer 7 years ago, I didn't even know Dr. Cruz treated addiction. Dr.
Cruz gives people hope. Jeffersonville should be happy to have such a great doctor in their City.
James Guilfoyle,431 E. Court Av.,Jeffersonville, IN
I can think of nothing better to go into this vacant building. Dr. Cruz's scope of practice is far beyond a
"pain clinic".
Rodney Smith, 1717 Spring Sideway, Louisville, KY
Page 3 of 13
I would love to relocate to Jeffersonville. I take IV treatment for heart conditions and refer
approximately 5 patients a month to Dr. Cruz for treatment because Dr.Cruz is so caring to all his
patients.
Carol Flynn,422 E. Court Av.,Jeffersonville, IN
I have a CPA office located here in Jeffersonville and look forward to having Dr. Cruz across the street
from me instead of an old vacant building.
John Brown, 3623 hickory Ridge NE, Georgetown, IN
Dr. Cruz accepts people and want to help them. City would be greatly increased by Dr. Cruz.
John Worrall, 1807 Schiller Ln, New Albany, IN
Dr. Cruz's compassion is exceptional with minimal amounts of medicine written to patients. I would say
the ratio would be 120 patients and maybe 1 addiction related. Allowing him to open his office would
be an excellent addition to Jeffersonville.
Carol Hines, Chaplin with Hosparus, 5603 S. Skyline Dr., Floyds Knobs, IN
I went to Dr. Cruz for a heart problem, had previously been referred to Cleveland clinic. And Dr. Cruz
was able to help me. Dr. Cruz would be an asset to this City
Deborah Henderson, 222 Meigs Av.,Jeffersonville, IN
Had you passed this originally we wouldn't be here today.
Public Comment: Against: Caroline Krall, 3212 Sporting Print, Home Address 334&332 E. Court Av,
Jeffersonville is business address. Sent a letter to be put into public record against Dr. Cruz.

BZA-19-27 Administrative Appeal
Elizabeth Baumgardner filed an administrative appeal for the property at 3307 Juniper Lane—Ant Lizz's
Child Care. The property is zoned R2 single family residential.
Representation: Greg Fifer,Applegate Fifer Pulliam 428 Meigs Avenue and Ms. Baumgardner is present
• Childcare is permitted use in owner occupied home
• Current facility was under foreclosure
• Buying this property on contract (equitable owner by law)
• Application for new license pending zoning requirements
• Mr. Fifer presented evidence of prior tried cases to justify use
• Staff original findings based on non-owner occupied status found on Elevate
Public Comment: support: Mary Canter, 107 Orchard Hill Drive,Jeffersonville, IN
My children have went to this daycare for 2 years now and it is a great place and Elizabeth loves my kids as if
they are her own.
Valerie Vanwinkle, 706 E. 10th Street,Jeffersonville, IN 47130
Since my kids have been going to Ant Lizz's daycare they have excelled in school. I appreciate everything she
does for my kids.
Angela Towns, 1022 Marlowe Dr., Clarksville, IN 47129
A lot of daycares can't handle my child because he is ADHD, however, since he has been going to this daycare,
the last six months his social skills, and coping skills are much better.
Against: Barb Sander Chase 3303 Juniper Lane, took oath. My concern, a real estate contract does not
transfer the deed until the contract is paid in full; she is a renter until that time. I am concern with the 5-6 cars
that are parked at her at Allison and Lutes Lane. Her family has 4 vehicles,there is going to be 9-10 vehicles that
would be parked at Juniper; which has to encroach on the neighbor frontage parking. I am concerned that she
still doesn't know the code and the guidelines. I checked with the Indiana Child Care Agency which is under
Bright Futures and as late as April 23 she had a critical violation. I asked how often they inspect the home-once
a year and how long do they have to comply with violations against them -they could not respond. I am
concerned with enforcement at our local level. R2 is not compatible with commercial business. Commercial
dumpster is on location. Violations were uncleanness, mess in yard,things that were a danger to children.
Because of it being so un-kept I cannot image that 3307 would be any different. If you look at pictures you see
that it is not compatible with our homes.
Robert Chase 3303 Juniper—husband to Barbara. We petition the neighborhood to oppose this day
care and of 67 homeowners, 65 were opposed, 2 did not sign. I travel Allison Lane every day and her property
there is an eyesore.
Dolores Spellman 803 Acorn Lane,took the oath. It was said that they intend to put up a fence and a
sign in the yard which will degrade our property. Children running around the neighborhood riding bikes in the
middle of street; I had to stop because I was afraid they were going to hit my car. I don't like the disrespect.
Many parked cars—parked in the middle of the street. No supervision. It would have been nice if they would
have introduced themselves and let us know what they were doing. Fireworks were set off in June. Main
concern is I get home from work late,we do not have street lights, it scares me with all these car parked.
Jerry Wisehart 3302 Locust Lane,took oath. Juniper is a very short street. Not knowledgably of the
laws, maximum they can have is 16 children, my understanding is there should be a ratio 1 adult to 2 children.
Supporters indicate only 1-2 employees; if there is 4 employees that is 4 more cars and parents coming in and
out to pick up their children. What will happen when the street needs plowed or if an ambulance is called if
they cannot get thru?
Public comment closed
Mr. Fifer—R1 and R2 allow child care with owner occupied. Zoning is not based on what may happen in
the future. No plan to put up fencing, or sign. State code is regulated by the State.
Board questions:
Mr. Fox —explain the Administrative Appeal? Mr. Merkley—the Staff's decision was that this was not
qualified use under R2. You can confirm; reverse decision and allow; modify.
Page 5 of 13
Mr. Clarke—has contract for deed been recorded? Mr. Fifer—yes it has
Mr. Clarke—I make the motion to reverse staff decision based on facts we have heard tonight. Motion
failed to get a second.
Mr. Fox—I make the motion to affirm staff decision,seconded by Mr. Stinson, motion passes by a vote
of 3-1 with Mr. Stinson, Mr. Fox, and Mr. Avery voting in favor of motion, Mr. Clarke voting against motion.
