FINDINGS OF FACT- DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS VARIANCE
Docket No 14030003 V—Build-to Line, Renaissance Hotel
Petitioner: Carmel Hotel LLC
1 The approval of this variance will not be injurious to the public health, safety, morals and general welfare
of the community because
The reduction in the required 90 foot build-to-line distance resulting from the right-of-way taking
by the State of Indiana will only impact the Applicant's property and therefore will not affect nor
be injurious to the public health, safety, morals or general welfare of the community.
2 The use and value of the area adjacent to the property included in the variance will not be affected in a
substantially adverse manner because.
The reduction in the required build-to-line distance resulting from the right-of-way taking by the
State of Indiana will simply reduce the distance from the building to the right-of-way of U.S.
Highway 31 which will not affect the use and value of the area adjacent to the Applicant's
property. The use of and the improvements to the Applicant's property will not be affected,
maintaining a neutral impact to the use and value of adjacent properties.
3 The strict application of the terms of the Zoning Ordinance to the property will result in practical difficulties
in the use of the property because
The reduction in the required build-to-line distance is the result of the taking by the State of
Indiana to expand the right-of-way of U.S. Highway 31 in conjunction with its upgrade of the
highway to freeway standards. This expansion of the right-of-way makes compliance with the
required build-to-line distance impossible because the hotel building cannot be moved.

FINDINGS OF FACT - DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS VARIANCE
Docket No 14030004 V—Maximum Parcel Coverage, Renaissance Hotel
Petitioner Carmel Hotel LLC
1 The approval of this variance will not be injurious to the public health, safety, morals and general welfare
of the community because
The expansion of the existing U.S. Highway 31 right-of-way by the State of Indiana reduces the
size of the Applicant's parcel, increasing the percentage of parcel coverage and impacting only
the Applicant's property. The improvements, parking areas and driveways are not affected.
Therefore the increase in parcel coverage will not affect nor be injurious to the public health,
safety, morals or general welfare of the community.
2. The use and value of the area adjacent to the property included in the variance will not be affected in a
substantially adverse manner because
The increase in the parcel coverage resulting from the right-of-way taking by the State of Indiana
will simply reduce the size of the Applicant's parcel which will not affect the use and value of the
area adjacent to the Applicant's property. The use of and the improvements to the Applicant's
property will not be affected, maintaining a neutral impact to the use and value of adjacent
properties.
3 The strict application of the terms of the Zoning Ordinance to the property will result in practical difficulties
in the use of the property because
The increase in the parcel coverage is the result of the taking by the State of Indiana to expand the
right-of-way of U.S. Highway 31 in conjunction with its upgrade of the highway to freeway
standards. This expansion of the right-of-way makes compliance with the maximum parcel
coverage impossible without the acquisition of additional real estate which is economically
impractical.

FINDINGS OF FACT- DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS VARIANCE
Docket No 14030005 V—Greenbelt, Renaissance Hotel
Petitioner Carmel Hotel LLC
1 The approval of this variance will not be injurious to the public health, safety, morals and general welfare
of the community because'
The elimination of the greenbelt resulting from the right-of-way taking by the State of Indiana will
only impact the Applicant's property and therefore will not affect nor be injurious to the public
health,safety, morals or general welfare of the community.
2 The use and value of the area adjacent to the property included in the variance will not be affected in a
substantially adverse manner because*
The elimination of the greenbelt resulting from the right-of-way taking by the State of Indiana will
only affect the Applicant's property and will be partially mitigated by replacement landscaping by
the State which will avoid any effect upon the use and value of the area adjacent to the Applicant's
property. The use of and the improvements to the Applicant's property will not be affected,
maintaining a neutral impact to the use and value of adjacent properties.
3 The strict application of the terms of the Zoning Ordinance to the property will result in practical difficulties
in the use of the property because
The elimination of the required greenbelt is the result of the taking by the State of Indiana to
expand the right-of-way of U.S. Highway 31 in conjunction with its upgrade of the highway to
freeway standards, leaving the resulting site without sufficient area to replace the required
greenbelt.
