Dear BZA Hearing Officer,
Re: Docket 19010011V PUD Ordinance Z-533-11, Section 6.1
We are residents of the Jackson Grant subdivision, STABLESIDE section. We are NOT in support of the variance filing for Lot 274
(528 Terhune Lane) to decrease the side setback. We built in this neighborhood with the understanding that a 5-foot side setback was
the necessary requirement. The 5-foot side setback should be the absolute minimum standard.
The 5-foot side setback in both the City of Carmel ordinance (26.04) and the development ordinance (Z-533-11, Section 6.1) are
defined to maintain the integrity of our neighborhood. A setback of less than 5 feet will negatively impact the overall appeal of our
neighborhood. This 5-foot side setback minimum is important from the stand point of property value, noise level, lighting for our
required side yard landscaping, and lighting for our homes. As well as, the safety needed to exit an egress window well in the event of
an emergency!! Anything less than a 5-foot side setback is also a potential fire concern.
We ask that you please uphold the ordinance requiring the 5-foot minimum for a side setback.
Sincerely,
Michael & Lisa Browne
533 Dickson Ln, Lot 271
