A large house at the Five Points intersection in Shelbyville is being restored to its original configuration as a duplex.

Residing at 331 and 335 S. Miller St. (photo), the residence, which has been a nuisance property for the city in recent years, has been gutted in preparation for the remodel. A new roof has already been installed.

The property owned by Frank Sundvall is in the process of being rezoned from R1, single family residential, to R2 for two-family use as a duplex.

The house has two separate entrances and two separate driveways.

At the city’s Common Council meeting Monday morning, the council approved the resolution to rezone the property to R2. The case will be remanded back to the Plan Commission for its next step.

In other business Monday, the council approved an annexation request for the property at the intersection of State Road 9 and Morristown Road on the city’s north side.

The property, located across Morristown Road from Culver’s, has traffic concerns at that busy intersection that must be addressed. No specific site plan is in place for the property, according to local attorney Jake Brattain, who represented the property owner Monday.
