CARMEL BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS – HEARING OFFICER
DEPARTMENT REPORT
OCT. 28, 2019
(V) Ranginani Residence, Front Setback.
The applicant seeks the following development standards variance approval:
5. Docket No. 19090026 V UDO Section 2.04 Min. 30’ front yard setback for neighborhood
allowed, 25’ requested. The site is located at 10465 Woodhall Ln. (Lot 8 in Woodhall Lane
Subdivision). It is zoned S1/Residence. Filed by Archana Ranginani, owner.
General Info & Analysis:
The Petitioner seeks approval for a 5-ft variance, to build a house with a 25-ft front yard building setback (a
17% variance), rather than 30-ft. Please see the Petitioner’s informational packet for more detail on the
variance request.
This neighborhood received BZA variance approvals in 2007 for: 30-ft front yard building setbacks (instead of
40-ft), and for 20-ft aggregate of side yard setbacks (instead of 30-ft).
The subject lot has a few encumbrances: a 25-ft wide regulated drain easement that runs across the front of it,
and a 30-ft wide regulated drain easement that runs across the rear of it. This makes the placement of a home
limited. In general, the lots are shallow and not deep.
The design of the home will be upscale, and the neighborhood developer is tasked with reviewing and
approving each home’s architecture.
The Petitioner addressed all planning/zoning review comments, and the Planning Dept. supports this
variance request.
Petitioner’s Findings of Fact:
Please refer to the petitioner’s Findings of Facts included in their info packet.
Recommendation:
The Dept. of Community Services recommends positive consideration of Docket No. 19090026 V.
