Board of Zoning Appeals meeting announcement

The Village of Ada will hold a Board of Zoning Appeals meeting at 5:00 p.m. on October 23, 2023, at the Ada Depot to hear an appeal of a denial to erect a 6’ Privacy Fence within a Front Yard at the northeast corner of S. Johnson and E. High, specifically 722 S. Johnson. 

The request is to replace a current 4’ chain link fence with a 6’ privacy fence. The new fence would be repositioned to the southwest corner of the current garage, proceeding westward towards the house.  

This request has been denied as the Ada Village Code does not allow a 6’ fence to be erected within a front yard. In this case, the applicant has two front yards since she lives on a corner lot.

Ada Council seeks to reduce cat nuisances with ordinance

In response to discussions with Ada residents and business owners regarding nuisances created by roaming cats and animals such as racoons, the village council has begun the process of drafting a new village ordinance. At a September 19 Safety Services committee meeting, council president Jeff Oestrich asked the village staff and legal counsel to draft an ordinance that prohibits feeding cats outdoors.
