County Board Grants Variance for Used Car Lot in Alexandria
Madison County Board of Zoning Appeals approved a variance for Patsy and Jess Lavens to run a used car and grocery operation on a half acre at the southeast corner of County Road 100W and Fourth Street in Alexandria. Critics warned of property devaluation and traffic, while supporters called the petitioner a law-abiding resident targeted by false rumors. The vote included a limit of 12 cars and no on-site repairs. Additional actions included rezoning for a cabinet shop and other variances and a set-back variance for Calvary Community Church at Second and Walnut.
