Montpelier Four-Unit House Wins Rezoning Recommendation
From the Blackford County Blackford County Area Planning Commission meeting on October 6, 2026
Blackford County's Blackford County Area Planning Commission gave a favorable recommendation on rezoning 343 E. Monroe St. in Montpelier from R-1 to R-3 after discussion that the house has long functioned as a four-unit building.
The meeting said the issue surfaced during a refinance appraisal. Members discussed the property as a house that had effectively been split into four units for decades.
The transcript indicates no objections were received from mailed notices beyond one phone call confirming which property was involved. The recommendation now moves on to county commissioners.
The exact roll-call wording was partly garbled in the transcript, but the favorable recommendation was preserved.
