BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS:
Please find for your review this informational letter for the proposed Blackwell Park Phase II
development located just north of 5t Street NE and east of 2"Avenue NE. In addition, you should
receive the following documents, Blackwell Park Phase II site map, Blackwell Park Phase II variance
exhibit, Blackwell Park Phase II Plot Plans (55 &65 foot wide lots), copy of the onginal H.C. Burnett
Subdivision Plat and Proposed Elevations.
The original Blackwell Park development which consisted of seventeen (17) single family residences is
located just south of Blackwell Park Phase II at 2"d Street NE to just south of 5th Street NE and just east of
2nd Avenue NE. Although Blackwell Park Phase II is not directly adjacent to the original Blackwell Park
project, Phase II is a continuation of that original development. The homes in Phase II will be built out
by our sister company Old Town Design Group which constructed all the homes within the original
Blackwell Park. The homes to be constructed in Blackwell Park Phase II are proposed to be of a similar
style and configuration to Blackwell Park with the same architectural,design guidelines and commitments
previously approved by the City. The requested variances, as listed below, were previously granted by
the Board of Zoning Appeals for the original Blackwell Park development:
Docket No. 14040018 V ZO CH: 8.04.02: Min Lot Size 10,000 sq.ft.,6,600 sq.ft. requested
Docket No. 14040019 V ZO CH: 8.04.03.A: 35 ft.Min Front Yd.Setback,20 ft. requested
Docket No. 14040020 V ZO CH: 8.04.03.E: Min Lot Width 80 ft.,55 ft.requested
Docket No. 14040021 V ZO CH: 8.04.03.F: 35% Max Lot Coverage,45% requested
Blackwell Park Phase II is designed to allow for the construction of single family residential homes that
will be harmonious with the original platting of the area. The lots sizes and design match the design of
Old Town Carmel despite not being located within the Old Town Overlay district as defined by the
Zoning Ordinance. Blackwell Park Phase II shall replace the various older building structures,
deteriorating homes and vacant land by building modern, high quality, single family custom homes. The
R-2 residential zoning district where this property is located is designed for a suburban residential area
which creates a practical difficulty for this property to fit within, since Old Town Carmel is designed as a
gridded block pattern urban area. Therefore we are respectfully requesting variances in order to conform
as desired to Old Town Cannel. Thank you for your time and consideration of our request.
Respectfully Submit,,

CARMEL/CLAY ADVISORY BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS ,
FINDINGS OF FACT- DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS VARIANCE
Docket No.: 14040018V, 14040019V, 14040020V, 14040021V
Petitioner: Old Town Development L.L.C.
1. The approval of this variance will not be injurious to the public health, safety, morals and general welfare of the
community because:
the Variance(s)would allow for construction of single family residential homes which would be harmonious with
the general welfare of the community and a suitable use of the property in accordance with the zoning plan and
city desires.
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 various older building structures,deteriorating homes and vacant land currently on the property shall be replaced
and improved by the site construction to be completed and the building of modern, high quality single family homes.
These improvements to the property will substantially increase both the use and value of the 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 R-2-residential zoning is designed for lot sizes and the characteristics of a suburban residential area.
Therefore without Variance(s) the property cannot be altered to conform to its location within the gridded pattern
urban area of Old Town Carmel and maintain the property's unique characteristics.
