The Johnson Addition neighborhood is located in the City of Carmel, Clay Township, Hamilton
County, Indiana. Located directly west of Old Town Carmel, the Johnson Addition
neighborhood represents one of numerous post-war neighborhoods to be built in Carmel. The
neighborhood includes 95 properties and retains a remarkable amount of its original fabric,
from the placement of original homes to the streetscape which define its significance.
In 2013, residents of Johnson Addition approached the Carmel Historic Preservation
Commission seeking designation as a Conservation District. With Johnson Addition's location
in proximity to nearby schools and shopping, the residents play an integral role in supporting
the growth and economic development of the Arts and Design District. With the rapidly
growing population of Carmel, the convenient location of the area of Johnson Addition places
its current and future tenants close to the incredible amenities of downtown Carmel. The
unique architectural design of these homes adds to the value of Carmel and Clay Township by
preserving the City's heritage as one of the first developed suburbs of Indianapolis. To lose this
diversity in style and substance would be a great loss to the preservation of the history of
Carmel.
As set forth in the Carmel Historic Preservation Ordinance, the City of Carmel directs the
Historic Preservation Commission to establish Historic and/or Conservation Districts. These
districts will guide the harmonious development of the city and help maintain established
residential neighborhoods and commercial areas to ensure their distinctiveness. Through the
designation of districts, the preservation of historic and architecturally worthy buildings,
structures, sites, streetscapes, and neighborhoods will impart a distinct aesthetic quality to the
City and serve as visible reminders of its historic heritage. The minimally restrictive designation
as a Conservation District will provide a level of protection to the neighborhood to maintain its
character and significance as a post-war neighborhood in the City of Carmel.
The purpose of these design standards is to guide appropriate design within the Johnson
Addition Conservation District. The following standards regulate new construction within the
boundaries of the district, if such a circumstance should arrive. They do not regulate
modifications or additions to existing structures, but can be used as guiding principles.

and Pape, City of Carmel/Clay Township Historic Property Survey, Carmel, Clay Township,Hamilton County,Indiana(2014).

Statement ot S'i5ni4icance
For much of its history, Carmel remained a quiet and sleepy farming village, tucked away in the
southwest corner of Hamilton County, Indiana. The townships of Clay and Delaware consisted
of a patchwork of farmsteads, most of whose origins dated to the early nineteenth century.
Many of the early settlers who comprised the population of early Carmel, consisted of
members of the Society of Friends (Quakers) and their Methodist neighbors. Agriculture would
remain the predominant theme of the community through the nineteenth century and well into
the next.
Located twenty miles north of Indianapolis, Carmel and Clay Township would evolve into a
commuting suburb of the state capitol. During the post-war years of late 1950's and 1960's the
township became a patchwork of ranch style housing developments. The developing concept
began replacing the disconnected patchwork of working farms. Carmel and Clay Township
made an ideal area for those seeking to escape the congestion of the city. This transformation
would continue through the 1970's and 1980's, until much of the township's landscape had
shifted from agriculture to suburban development. From surviving farmstead homes to Mid-
century modern ranch houses, the architecture of Carmel and Clay Townships provides telling
evidence of this long fascinating transformation.
Even with the influx of residents from Indianapolis, Clay and Delaware townships would remain
predominantly rural through World War 11 and into the 1950's. Early indications of suburban
sprawl; however, appeared on the landscape soon after the war. Aerial imagery and census
records from the years 1940 to 1970 clearly show the results of the suburban movement as it
played out in Carmel and Clay townships. Between 1940 and 1950, the population of Carmel
jumped from 771 to 1009, an increase of 30.9 percent.
To provide housing for the growing population of Carmel and Clay Township, developers
platted residential additions on the surrounding landscape. Farmland gradually gave way to the
bulldozer as demand for suburban housing escalated. Most of these developments were
concentrated between Route 31 and South Range Line Road/Westfield Boulevard. Typical of
mass-produced housing of the post war area, these early additions followed a simple grid plan
with streets oriented from north to south and east to west. Housing stock consisted largely of
ranch type architecture and some subtle derivation thereof. Almost without exception, the
houses sat near the center of their respective lots, giving them an ample front yard and a
comfortable buffer between house and street. Providing a sense of space and rural living, these
ranch developments symbolized the American dream of the post war era.
Sherman D. Wilson and Son was one of a handful of builders during the 1950s and 1960s
building boom in Carmel. Sherman worked alongside his wife, Hilda, who served as a realtor for
their firm, and his son, Thomas. Touted as "Builders and Developers," Sherman D. Wilson and
Son plotted the eastern half of Johnson Addition as early as 1 955 and the western half in 1958.
Sherman D. Wilson and Son frequently advertised available lots and homes for sale in the local
circular, the Carmel Booster. Advertisements for Johnson Addition appeared often during the
2
late 1950s and align with most of the building activity in the development. In an ad from January
17, 1958, Wilson advertised his Johnson Addition properties:
4.-LFor the Budget Purchaser, only 51,600 down for this new l
home in Johnson Addition,Carmel, 1050 sq. feet living arel
3 bedrooms, living room 16x16—family kitchen, 11 car

bath, all Brick, Hardwood floors, 2 car attached garage for
17x800 in Johnson Addition, Carmel, landscaped, yards, 2
frees, concrete street, city water and sewer, street lights.
An advertisement for Johnson Addition from April II, 1958 in the Carmel Booster highlighted
the "concrete streets, city water and sewers," with models costing $14,500. This same
advertisement illustrated an early home in the development, with 4 bedrooms and a I-car
garage for $16,475. The pictured home is most likely 475 Emerson Road, which dates from
1957 and has been heavily altered.

Carmel Booster Ad, April I 1 1958 475 Emerson Road, 1957
A large majority of the homes in Johnson Addition date from 1959 and 1960, with the
development predominately constructed by 1962. The development consists primarily of small,
rectangular plan Ranch houses. Home developers during the 1950s and I 960s challenged to find
ways to simplify home plans that met Federal Housing Administration (FHA) financing
guidelines. FHA encouraged developers to build an entire neighborhood at once, so builders
differentiated houses by rotating the house orientation, employing different roof forms, flipping
plans, and using a variety of materials. The custom built homes by Sherman D. Wilson and Son
feature similar designs, but may vary in placement of exterior building materials, roof shape, and
3
garages. Wilson advertised charming house names for his standard plans, ranging from the
Caroline, Harrison, Bently, Concordia, and Car-Mel.

The Caroline and Bently appear to be the most popular of the house designs constructed.
Examples of the Caroline are found at 602 Emerson Rd, 612 Emerson Rd, 637 Emerson Rd, and
825 Emerson Rd. Each property differs slightly, with the most prominent difference in the color
of brick veneer. Examples of the Bently are found at 413 Emerson Rd, 474 Emerson Rd, and
817 Emerson Rd, with design differences ranging from hipped to gabled roofs and brick to
wood exterior wall finishes. A small percentage of homes in the subdivision do not follow any
of the illustrated house designs. These include a Bi-level at 624 Emerson Rd and two more high-
style Modern designs at 142 Lantern Ln and 102 Sherman Dr.

After Wilson platted the second section in 1958, he advertised the affordability of a new home
and the benefits of Johnson Addition's location. This Carmel Booster advertisement from June 5,
1959 shows how Wilson worked to integrate both their real estate business with their
construction of new homes, by offering to assist buyers in disposal of their"too-small home.

Typical of developments of the period, homes are built towards the center of their lot, with
ample front yards. The setback varies slightly from house to house to provide some irregularity
with the overall neighborhood design. Corner lots feature houses built on a diagonal facing the
intersection. Slightly curved streets and a cul-de-sac on Lantern Lane are both mid-century
influences on the development design. Sherman D. Wilson and Son advertised Johnson Addition
as convenient to churches, schools, public transportation, and near the Carmel High School.
Residents find the benefits of living in Johnson Addition similar to when it was first constructed.

Johnson Addition is significant and nominated as a local historic district for its integrity as a Mid-
Century neighborhood in the City of Carmel. It represents part of the building boom
necessitated by the population growth of Carmel in the 1950s and 60s. The conservation area
includes 94 contributing structures and I non-contributing structure. This illustrates the quality
of construction and high value the neighborhood has placed on the preservation of its
character. The average lot size in Johnson Addition is .34 acres with the average home totaling
1,469 s.f. The designated area includes all the original lots of the original Johnson Addition plat.
The affordable housing in Johnson Addition has attracted many starting families and single
professionals. The neighborhood itself currently houses several schoolteachers, nurses, police
and fire emergency personnel. Historically speaking,Johnson Addition has been one of the
centers of the community of Carmel, with its location, affordability, and sensible design
attractive to those looking to find a home.

Historic District: A full historic district regulates all exterior changes to a property, site or
setting.
Conservation District: A conservation district is a less regulated version of a historic district.
In a conservation district, only new construction of a principal new or accessory building,
demolition, and moving buildings are reviewed by the CHPC.
Principal Building: Also known as a primary building, the single family dwelling occupying a
single lot.
Subject to Review and Approval: Items that must be submitted to the CHPC through an
application for a Certificate of Appropriateness.
Classifications
The following terms are used in the Carmel Historic Preservation Commission Ordinance to
classify buildings:
Outstanding (0)
The "0" rating means that the property has enough historic or architectural significance that it
is already listed, or should be considered for individual listing in the National Register of
Historic Places. Outstanding resources can be of local, state, or national importance.
Notable (N)
A rating of"N" means that the property did not quite merit an Outstanding rating, but is still
above average in its importance. Further research or investigation may reveal that the property
could be eligible for National Register listing.
Contributing (C)
A "C" rating was given to any properties meeting the basic inventory criterion of being pre-
1960, but that are not important enough to stand on their own as individually outstanding or
notable. Such resources are important to the density or continuity of the area's historic fabric.
Contributing properties can be listed on the National Register of Historic Places if they are part
of an historic district, but would not usually qualify individually.
Non-Contributing (NC)
Properties rated "NC" are not important enough to stand on their own as individually
outstanding or notable and were not included in the inventory unless they were located within
an historic district. Such properties are usually either post-I970 or they are older structures
that have been badly altered and have lost their historic character or they are otherwise
incompatible with their historic surroundings.
Note: In these pages the term"contributing"properties often refers to all of the properties that contribute to the historic
significance of the area,including both outstanding and notable properties.

The purpose of new construction standards is to present concepts, alternatives, and
approaches which will produce design solutions that recognize the characteristics of the
Johnson Addition Conservation District and bring harmony between new and existing buildings.
The standards are not meant to restrict creativity, but to set up a framework within which
sympathetic design will occur. It should be noted that within an appropriate framework there
can be many different design solutions which may be appropriate.
CONTEXT FOR NEW CONSTRUCTION
Design standards serve as aids in designing new construction which reacts sensitively to the
existing context. The most important first step in designing new construction in any
conservation district, therefore, is to determine just what the context is. Contributing
properties are important to the density and continuity of Johnson Addition.
Every site possesses a unique context, which comprises the contributing buildings immediately
adjacent, the nearby area (often the surrounding block), and the district as a whole. Generally,
new construction will occur on sites which fall into the following categories. For each one
described below, there is an indication of the context to which new construction must be
primarily related.

PRINCIPAL BUILDINGS
Definition:A principal building is the single family dwelling occupying a single lot.
SUBJECT TO REVIEW AND APPROVAL
Construction of any new principal building within the district boundary.
The first step to take in designing new construction is to define the context within which it will
exist. Once the context is understood, the following standards are meant to assist in finding a
compatible design response. Setbacks, orientation, entry, spacing, heights, and outline are
elements that generally relate to a building's fit within its surrounding street and alley character.
Mass, foundation, elevations, materials, openings, fenestration, and porches are elements that
generally describe the architectural compatibility of a new building to its existing neighbors.
SETBACK
Definition: The distance a building is set back from a street or property line.
In Johnson Addition, the longest sides of houses are most commonly placed parallel to the
street and relatively in line with adjacent houses. New residential buildings should also be
parallel to the street with setback to fit with adjacent contributing buildings.
Recommended
A new building's setback should conform to the setback pattern established by the
existing block context. On corner sites, the setbacks from both streets must conform
to the context. Structures that are much closer or further from the street than the vast
majority of houses in a given block should not be used to determine appropriate
setback.

ORIENTATION
Definition: The direction a building faces.
In Johnson Addition, houses are usually oriented with their longest side and main entrance
facing and parallel to the street.
Recommended
New buildings should be oriented toward the street in a way that is characteristic of
surrounding contributing buildings.

Orientation
BUILDING ENTRY
Definition: The actual and visually perceived approach and entrance to a building.
Recommended
New buildings should reflect a similar sense of entry to that which is expressed by
surrounding contributing buildings. Frequently, mid-century entrances are located
perpendicular to the facade at the end of a jutting addition or a porch.
45
SPACING
Definition: The distance between contiguous buildings along a block face.
Recommended
New construction that reflects and reinforces the spacing found in its block. New
construction should maintain the perceived regularity or lack of regularity of spacing on
the block.

Building Spacing
BUILDING HEIGHT
Definition: The actual height of buildings and their various components as measured from the ground's
existing grade at the foundation, relative to the grade of the street that the building faces.
In Johnson Addition, the topography of the lots is often gently rolling and varied; therefore, new
construction must blend and flow with the existing topography.
NOTE: In areas governed by this plan, building heights should be determined using these
standards, rather than those noted in the zoning ordinance.
Recommended
Generally, the height of a new building should fall within a range set by the highest and
lowest contiguous contributing buildings if the block has uniform heights.
Uncharacteristically high or low buildings should not be considered when determining
the appropriate range. Cornice heights, porch heights and foundation heights in the
same block face (on the same side of the street) should be considered when
determining the appropriate range. Consider the grade of the lot against the grade of
the adjacent street, as well as the grade of the adjacent contributing buildings.

BUILDING OUTLINE
Definition: The silhouette of a buildin g as seen f rom the street.

The basic outline of a new building, including general roof shape, should reflect building
outlines typical of Johnson Addition. The outline of new construction should reflect the
directional orientations characteristic of the existing contributing buildings in its context.

DESIGN STANDARDS
The following standards relate to the construction of any new principal (or primary) building.
Mid-century modern forms and designs are considered appropriate. Contributing buildings in
Johnson Addition should be studied for their characteristic design elements. Significant features
define compatibility, such as roofing, entryways, how a house is set on its foundation, chimneys,
gables, overhanging eaves, and porches. When analyzing the design of contributing buildings,
consider original materials and designs, rather than later modifications to the buildings.
MASS
Definition: The three dimensional outline of a building.
Depending on the block face, buildings in Johnson Addition may reflect the traditional
horizontal mass of the mid-century modern house forms. The architectural description of the
properties in Johnson Addition provides examples of typical house forms and building parts.
Recommended
The total mass and site coverage of a new building should be consistent with adjacent
contributing buildings. The massing of the various parts of a new building should be
characteristic of adjacent contributing buildings. Consider the mass of all building parts
(i.e., house, attached garage, integrated porch, and breezeway).
11 El
Massing
48
FOUNDATION/ FIRST FLOOR ELEVATION
Definition: The supporting base upon which a building sits and the finished elevation of the first floor
living space.
Recommended
New construction first floor elevation and foundation height should be consistent with
contiguous contributing buildings. New construction first floor elevation and foundation
height should fit into the natural (not man-made) gradient of the land.

✓ ✓ x ✓ ✓
Foundation
OPENINGS/FENESTRATION
Definition: The design, arrangement, and proportioning of windows, doors, and openings.
Recommended
Paying attention to the proportion of openings in a wall visible from the street can help
blend new construction into the streetscape.
Horizontal shapes and combinations of windows are integral to the look of the wall.
Creative use of commercially available window shapes and sizes can help mimic typical
mid-century modern patterns. Creative expression with fenestration is not precluded,
but should not conflict with or draw attention from the basic fenestration pattern of
adjacent contributing buildings.
Doors are important to the overall design as well. They usually feature small glass panes
in various geometric patterns. Entryways are often hidden, but distinctive.

49
MATERIALS
Definition: The visual, structural, and performance characteristics of the materials visible on a building
exterior.
Recommended
Building materials, whether natural or man-made, should be visually compatible with
surrounding contributing buildings. When hardboard or concrete board siding is used to
simulate wood clapboard siding, it should reflect the general directional and dimensional
characteristics found historically in the neighborhood. Limestone/stone veneer, brick,
clapboard, and wood siding are appropriate materials.
PATIOS AND PORCHES
Definition: Flat constructed areas, adjacent to the house, which extend the living space into the exterior
environment.
Recommended
Building materials include laid brick, concrete, stone, and wood.
50
ACCESSORY STRUCTURES
SUBJECT TO REVIEW AND APPROVAL
Construction of any new accessory building within the district boundary.
Definition:Any structure secondary to the principal building on the lot and greater than 150 square
feet in size is subject to the following standards.
Recommended
New structures should be placed in a subordinate position and, where possible, to the
rear of the principal building on the lot. In some cases, garages should be placed
attached to the principal residence. New structures accessory to principal buildings
should be visually compatible in shape and materials with existing Johnson Addition
patterns.
New structures should be proportionately smaller, both in height and size of footprint,
than the principal building on the lot.
OTHER ISSUES
UTILITIES & EQUIPMENT
Definition:Any utilities that might be above ground and visible (such as meters and electric lines) and
any mechanical equipment associated with the building (such as air-conditioning equipment).
PARKING & STORAGE ACCESS
Definition:Locations of driveways and access to storage of all vehicles, including but not limited to cars,
RVs, boats, ATVs, trailers, etc.
Recommended
Driveways should be built with direct access to parking or storage structures and pass
along the side or rear of the princiapl building. Oversized parking pads in view of the
street are discouraged.
FENCES
Fences are not regulated in Johnson Addition, but an inappropriate fence can deface the
streetscape. Wooden, metal, and vinyl privacy fences (including stockades, basket weave, and
chain link) are relatively modern styles of fencing and should be hidden in rear yards, if possible.

MOVING BUILDINGS
SUBJECT TO REVIEW AND APPROVAL
Relocation or move of any building within the district boundary.
The moving of any building in the Johnson Addition Conservation District should only be done
as a last resort to save the building. It may also be considered when necessary to maintain the
historic context of Johnson Addition. The following standards are meant to assist in
determining the appropriateness of moving any building within, into, or out of Johnson
Addition.
STANDARDS
The following standards are enforceable by the Carmel Historic Preservation Commission and
are less comprehensive and less restrictive than for an historic district.
Recommended
The building to be moved should be compatible with the contributing architecture
surrounding its new site relative to style, scale, and era.
Small non-contributing storage buildings (under 150 square feet) in backyards may be
moved without review.
Contributing accessory structures (over 150 square feet) require review according to
standards for compatible new construction.

gtancla.sr.d3 bet Demolition
STANDARDS FOR DEMOLITION
SUBJECT TO REVIEW AND APPROVAL
Demolition of any building within the district boundary.
This section explains the type of work considered in this plan to be demolition to be used when
reviewing applications for Certificates of Appropriateness that include demolition. A
Certificate of Appropriateness must be issued by the Carmel Historic Preservation Commission
before a demolition permit is issued by other agencies of the city and before work is begun on
the demolition of any building in Johnson Addition. Review and approval is required for
demolition of principal buildings within the boundaries of the Johnson Addition Conservation
District.
STANDARDS
The following standards relate to the above actions and they are enforceable by the Carmel
Historic Preservation Commission. For the purpose of this plan, demolition shall be defined as
the razing, wrecking or removal by any means of the entire or partial exterior of a structure.
The following examples are meant to help define demolition and are not all-inclusive:
I. The razing, wrecking or removal of a total structure.
2. The razing, wrecking or removal of part of a structure, resulting in a reduction in its mass,
height or volume.
3. The razing, wrecking or removal of an enclosed or open addition.
Partial demolition includes the alteration, pulling down, destruction, or removal of a portion of
a structure which may include, but not be limited to, the removal of a defining architectural
feature or element which defines or contributes to the historic character of the structure.
Partial demolition may also be defined as the removal of twenty-five percent (25%) of the
structure, including its roof, if the part which is removed is on a façade which is subject to view
from a public thoroughfare. Partial demolition may be required as part of construction of an
addition onto a principal building, but shall be reviewed by the Commission if the demolition
work is such that it shifts the project into substantial new construction and it is visible from a
public right of way.
Examples of work not included in demolition:
I. Any work on the interior of a structure.
2. The removal of small exterior elements of the structure that are not structurally integrated
with the main structure and are generally considered rehabilitation, such as utility and
mechanical equipment, awnings, gutters, downspouts, light fixtures, fire escapes, signs, paint,
fencing, sidewalks, streets, curbs, landscaping, asphalt, and clear glass with no historic
markings. Such work may require a Certificate of Appropriateness under other standards
in this plan.
53
APPROVAL
The CHPC requires a Certificate of Appropriateness for demolition if any of the proposed
activities include razing, wrecking or removal of any part of the structure. The CHPC may ask
interested individuals or organizations for assistance in seeking an alternative to
demolition. The Commission will also consider how the loss of a building, or a portion thereof,
will affect the character of the surrounding area, and in the case of partial demolition,
the building itself. When considering a proposal for demolition, the CHPC shall consider the
following criteria for demolition as standards for determining appropriate action:
I. The structure poses an immediate and substantial threat to the public safety. The condition
of the building resulting from neglect shall not be considered grounds for demolition.
2. The historic or architectural significance of the structure or part thereof is such that, in
the Commission's opinion, it does not contribute to the historic character of the structure
and the historic area, or the context thereof.
3. The building is incapable of earning an economic return on its value, as appraised by a
qualified real estate appraiser.
4. In the case that the building is accidentally damaged by storm, fire, or flood, it may be
rebuilt to its former configuration and materials without regard to the demolition and new
construction standards if work is commenced within 6 months.
With the exception of Criterion #4, all replacement of demolished properties should follow
new construction standards.
CONDITION
Demolition of a structure may be justified by condition. In certain instances, demolition of
selective parts of the building may be authorized after proper evaluation by the Carmel Historic
Preservation Commission.
SIGNIFICANCE
The Commission has the responsibility of determining the significance of a structure and
whether it contributes to the district. It shall consider the architectural and historical
significance of the structure individually, in relation to the street, and as a part of the district as
a whole. These same considerations will be given to parts of the building.
The Commission will also consider how the loss of a structure, or a portion thereof, will affect
the character of the district, the neighboring buildings, and in the case of partial demolition, the
building itself. Buildings that are noted in the plan as non-contributing or potentially contributing
shall be researched to confirm that there is no obscured architectural or historical significance.
In making its determination of significance, the Commission shall consider the following:
I. Architectural and historical information included in this plan.
2. Information contained in the district's National Register nomination (if one exists).
3. Information contained in any other professionally conducted historic surveys pertaining
to this district.
4. The opinion of its professional staff.
5. Evidence presented by the applicant.
54
6. Evidence presented by recognized experts in architectural history.
REPLACEMENT BUILDING
When proposing new construction as the result of the demolition of an existing structure, the
applicant must follow the Standards for New Construction. To guide the Commission in
evaluating the compatibility of the replacement building within the new construction design
standards, the applicant shall submit the following information as required by the Commission
or its staff:
I. Elevations and floor plans.
2. A scaled streetscape drawing showing the new construction in its context (usually
including at least two building on either side).
3. A site plan showing the structure(s) to be demolished and the new building.
4. A written description of the new construction.
5. A time schedule for construction and evidence that the new construction will occur.
6. Any other information which would assist the Commission in determining the
appropriateness of the new construction.
ECONOMICS
The owner has the responsibility of presenting clear and convincing evidence to the
Commission as to the incapability of the structure of earning an economic return on its value.
The Commission may prepare its own evaluation of the property's value, feasibility for
preservation, or other factors pertinent to the case. To afford the Commission the ability to
consider the economic factors of demolition, the applicant shall submit the following
information when required by the Commission:
I. Estimate of the cost of the proposed demolition and an estimate of any additional costs
that would be incurred to comply with recommendations of the Commission for
changes necessary for the issue of a Certificate of Appropriateness.
2. A report from a licensed engineer or architect with experience in rehabilitation as to
the structural soundness of the structure and its suitability for rehabilitation.
3. Estimated market value of the property both in its current condition, and after
completion of the proposed demolition to be presented through an appraisal by a
qualified professional appraiser.
4. An estimate from an architect, structural engineer, real estate consultant, appraiser, or
other real estate professional experienced in rehabilitation as to the economic feasibility
of rehabilitation or reuse of the existing structure.
5. For property acquired within five years of the date an application for a Certificate of
Appropriateness is filed: amount paid for the property, the date of acquisition, and the
party from whom acquired, including a description of the relationship, if any, between
the owner of record or applicant and the person from whom the property was
acquired, and any terms of financing between the seller and buyer.
6. Remaining balance on any mortgage or other financing secured by the property and
annual debt service, if any, for the previous two years.
7. All appraisals obtained within the previous two years by the owner or applicant in
connection with the purchase, financing or ownership of the property.
55
8. Any listing of the property for sale or rent, price asked and offers received, if any, within
the previous two years.
9. Copy of the most recent real estate tax bill.
10. Form of ownership or operation of the property, whether sole proprietorship, for
profit or non-for-profit corporation, limited partnership, joint venture, or other
method.
I I. Any other information which would assist the Commission in making a determination as
to whether the property does yield or may yield a reasonable return to the owners, e.g.
proforma financial analysis.

7'ri¢nnial Review.
In accordance with state (IC 36-7-I I) and local (D-2064-I I) statutes regarding local historic
preservation commissions, a conservation district automatically becomes a historic district after
three years, provided the majority of property owners in that district do not object to the
change in designation. Please see the Carmel Historic Preservation Ordinance for guidelines on
maintaining a conservation district or establishing a full historic district, which regulates all
exterior changes to a property, site or setting.
"FOR CONSERVATION DISTRICTS
The Carmel Historic Preservation Ordinance (D-2064-I I) permits the Carmel Historic
Preservation Commission to establish a historic district in two (2) phases. The first phase, a
conservation district, continues for a period of three (3) years from the date the ordinance is
adopted. This requires a Certificate of Appropriateness for the following activities:
I. The construction of a new building or accessory building
2. The moving of any building
3. The demolition of any building
At the expiration of the initial three (3) year period, the first phase of a conservation district
continues and the second phase, a historic district, does not become effective if a majority of
the property owners in the district object to the Commission, in writing, to the requirement
that Certificates of Appropriateness be issued for the following activities:
1. A conspicuous change in the exterior appearance of historic buildings by additions,
construction, alteration, or maintenance involving exterior color changes;
2. A change in walls and fences or construction of walls and fences, if along public ways;
3. A conspicuous change in the exterior appearance of non-historic buildings subject to
view from a public way by additions reconstruction, alteration, or maintenance involving
exterior color change.
In order to stay a conservation district, the objections of a majority of the property owners
must be received by the Commission not earlier than one hundred eighty (180) days, or later
Y g tY ( ) Y
than sixty (60) days before the third anniversary of the adoption of the conservation district
ordinance."

VETO MEMORANDUM
I have spent a great deal of time and given much consideration to Ordinance D-2193-14 which would
establish a Conservation District in the Johnson Addition in the City of Carmel.
I am supportive of the arguments from both the supporters and opponents of this issue. The supporters
argue that they want to ensure that affordable housing is available in Carmel and the character of their
neighborhood does not change. The opponents point out that their property rights are being
diminished because the ordinance would limit their ability to modify and alter their property.
In determining whether I would approve the ordinance, I first looked at whether the process of
establishing the Conservation District was done properly. The ordinance, in essence, amounts to inverse
condemnation. If a legal challenge was filed, a court would look very carefully at whether due process
was followed. Property rights are considered among the handful of basic rights protected by the
Constitution of the United States and the Bill of Rights. A court is going to closely scrutinize the process
to determine whether it was properly done. A property owner is entitled to due process if his or her
property rights are going to be restricted.
Upon examination of the process, I found that of the last six meetings of the Carmel Historical
Preservation Commission,five of the meetings were not noticed to the public as required by Indiana
law. The Commission appears to have met on February 13, March 13,April 17,June 12, and August 14,
2014 without publicly noticing the meetings as required by IC 5-14-1.5. On October 2,2014,the
Commission met and conducted a public meeting and hearing on the proposed Conservation District.
That meeting appears to have been noticed correctly under the law.There is evidence that the
preservation district was discussed at every one of the 2014 Commission meetings.
The Johnson Conservation District was discussed at multiple public meetings that were not noticed. This
is a fatal flaw in the process and would put the City in a non-defensible position if it were sued. More
importantly,transparent and open government is paramount; secret meetings cannot be countenanced.
For the above reason, I veto Ordinance D-2193-14.
