Hi everyone, I have a problem. I have lost my copy of cemetery Laws temporarily. Could someone tell me if a plan must be filed with the DHPA and/or the DNR or both if no disturbance is planed within the 100 ft. zone around a cemetery. Is it necessary to file the plan in order to get approval on the Plat, or only before the actual construction begins. I seem to remember something about filing one before construction takes place {within} 100ft of a cemetery. But I believe if you do not disturb the soil in the 100 feet, or disturb the cemetery, it is not necessary. Ernie I believe you have a copy of the Laws, maybe you could help me out. I have not heard from Jeannie and we are scheduled for a preliminary hearing Monday evening at 6:00. and the Zoning Board wants to make sure there is full compliance with the Laws. Thanks, Ernie, or anyone else that can help me out. I am leaving for Kentucky in about 45 minutes and wont be back until tomorrow evening. I wont have time to look up Cemetery Laws.

Hello Jack, The way I am reading it, you only have to file a plan if it is within the 100 feet of the cemetery: IC 14-21-1-26.5 A person may not disturb the ground within 100 feet of a burial ground or cemetery for the purpose of erecting, altering or repairing any structure without having a development plan approved by DHPA If they are not disturbing the cemetery, I see no reason for getting the plan approved by the DHPA.
