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.

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.
