FINDINGS OF FACT SHEET - DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS VARIANCE
17080006 V (Parking Lot Curb)
Docket No.: _______________________________________________
Financial Plans & Strategies, Inc. by Faegre Baker Daniels LLP
Petitioner: _______________________________________________

drainage pattern unchanged.
_____________________________________________________________________________________
_____________________________________________________________________________________
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:
Stormwater will be able to sheet drain and percolate into the soil, leaving the
_____________________________________________________________________________________
drainage pattern unchanged.

_____________________________________________________________________________________
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:

_____________________________________________________________________________________
unnecessary additional infrastructure.

Avenue (the "Real Estate"). The Real Estate is located generally at the southeast corner of College Avenue
st

to the south and fronts College Avenue to the west. The Real Estate currently is zoned R-1 (Residen al) and

College Avenue, including the Real Estate, to be used for business purposes (please see a copy of the Plat

FPS would like to expand its ŋ nancial service business to Carmel and locate its new o ce within the exis ng
structure on the Real Estate. In order to do so, FPS respec ully requests BZA approval of certain variances
(a use variance and three (3) development standards variances) as follows:
(1) Standard: Ch. 7.01.01. & Appendix A: Schedule of Uses (residen al use
permi ed)
Variance Requested: General o ce use permi ed

without the requested variance. In addi on, the plat restric ons
and the City's Future Land Use Map support the proposed use.

avoids unnecessary addi onal infrastructure.
