The approval of this variance will not be injurious to the public health, safety, morals and general welfare of the community because. This lot is one of the shallowest lots in the area,therefore doesn't allow for the additional non-pervious area. The frontage of the lot is consistent with the remaining homes in the area,and with the addition of the rain garden we will be able to make up for the non-pervious area needed and still provide an aesthetically pleasing landscape to help enhance the highly visible corner of the lot. 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 home that we are proposing is designed to highlight the highly visible corner by taking advantage of a wrap around porch and a mixture of materials and colors. The new custom home will be a considerably higher value than the existing home. The rain garden will address the transfer of excess water runoff while still providing an beautiful landscape to be viewed by all in the area. 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 current custom home that we have designed is not an excessively large home,and to be able to design a home that would fit within the existing 45%coverage range would result in a much smaller home that would not be able to support the investment being made for a home of this caliber. Without this approval the existing lot does not lend itself to a new home investmentDECISION IT IS THEREFORE the decision of the Carmel/Clay Board of Zoning Appeals that Development Standards Variance Docket No. is granted, subject to any conditions stated in the minutes of this Board, which are incorporated herein by reference and made a part hereof. Adopted this day of , 20 CHAIRPERSON, Carmel/Clay Board of Zoning Appeals SECRETARY, Carmel/Clay Board of Zoning Appeals Conditions of the Board are listed on back. Petitioner or representative to sign. • Page 10 - filename:development standards variance 2014 rev 1/2/2013 r I : >DB KLAIN CONSTRUCTION, LLC April 17, 2014 Statement of Variance My name is DB Klain, and I am currently working with a client, Ms. Rembusch, that would like to demolish the existing home located at 410 1st Ave. NW with the intention of constructing a new custom home in place of the older structure. The new home is going to be built with the intention of blending with the current architecture along the street,while still incorporating current day construction materials and designs. The current lot is considered one of the smallest lots along the street, so therefore we are seeking a variance from the current Development Standards of 45% lot coverage to 59% lot coverage to allow for the new structure to be built on this lot. As you can see the lots to the north and south of our property are double the size of our lot. Our current lot is 5,564 square feet and with our proposed new home we will have a lot coverage of 59%. If this same home were to be built on any of the lots to the north or south it would only have a lot coverage of approximately 29%. In order to achieve the additional lot coverage, we are proposing to install a rain garden that will help eliminate any concerns of water runoff and will also enhance the landscape on the southeast corner of the lot for everyone that lives in the area to enjoy as they walk or drive by the home. The proposed home will maintain all of the current setback requirements shown on the proposed plot plan, so the amount of lot coverage is the only variance we are seeking.

The proposed home is within the similar size range of other new homes being built in the area and will help enhance the overall streetscape and values in the area. The home will blend nicely and will have the same proportions of other homes as it relates to the front and side yard setbacks. If this home were to be built on any of the lots to the north or south we would only be covering 29%of the lot. In order to eliminate the engineering departments concerns about water runoff, we propose to install a rain garden on the south east corner of the property and to comply with the city engineering departs rain garden requirements. The rain garden would be similar to what was recently approved and constructed at 32 First Street NE for a commercial office building to be able to achieve their variance for lot coverage. . It is our intent to construct a home that will help enhance the community and increase the home values in the area. The overall investment my client is proposing to invest in this home is approximately four times the value of the existing home and will therefore produce a significant increase in property tax income for the city. Thank you for your consideration. Thank you, .vi• ‘. ai • �., amain Construction, LLC 2159 Glebe Street,Suite 200,Carmel,IN 46032 Office: 317.846.9992 Fax: 317.846.2070 E-mail: david @dbklain.com
