Page 2 of 7
8) State reasons supporting the Development Standards Variance: (Additionally, complete the attached
question sheet entitled "Findings of Fact-Development Standards Variance").
146th Street, a Hamilton County jurisdictional street and not a City of Carmel thoroughfare, was
reconstructed between 2000 and 2004, at which time, Hamilton County acquired a complete right-of-way
from all abutting real estate owners in order to construct the existing street cross-section. The County does
not anticipate additional right-of-way needs along this section of 146th Street, therefore, no such dedication
to the County is required. Without additional right-of-way dedication, a sign setback variance is
unnecessary.
9) Present zoning of the property (give exact classification): R-1 Residence District (no overlay district)
10) Size of lot/parcel in question: 9.5 acres +/-
11) Present use of the property: Salsbery Brothers Landscaping

Continuation of the existing approved use.

CARMEL BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS
CARMEL, INDIANA
Docket No.: ________________________
Petitioner: Salsbery Brothers Landscaping, Inc.
Variance: 0’ right-of-way dedication (146th Street)
FINDINGS OF FACT - DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS VARIANCE
1. The approval of this variance will not be injurious to the public health, safety, morals and general welfare of
the community because:
The 146th Street, a Hamilton County facility, was reconstructed between 2000 and 2004, at which time the
requisite additional right-of-way to construct the current cross-section was acquired. While the Hamilton
County recommended right-of-way for 146th Street is 150’, the plan is notated with language stating that the
right-of-way “may be reduced in an urban context”, which describes how the area around the site has
developed over time. Hamilton County holds jurisdiction over 146th Street. (Carmel’s Thoroughfare Plan
recommends a right-of-way width for 146th Street of 120’.)
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 146th Street was reconstructed between 2000 and 2004, at which time the requisite additional right-of-
way to construct the current cross-section was acquired from all abutting real estate owners.
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 there are no County plans to further widen 146th Street in this area, and practical difficulties in setbacks
for an existing sign and existing building would result if additional right-of-way were to be required.

CARMEL/CLAY ADVISORY BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS
CARMEL, INDIANA
Docket No.: ________________________
Petitioner: Salsbery Brothers Landscaping, Inc.
Variance: Sign setback from right-of-way (146th Street)
FINDINGS OF FACT - DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS VARIANCE
1. The approval of this variance will not be injurious to the public health, safety, morals and general welfare of
the community because:
The existing sign was placed after the reconstruction of 146th Street and the establishment of the current
right-of-way for that reconstruction. (This variance becomes unnecessary if additional right-of-way is not
required to be dedicated.)
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 sign location will not be shifted closer to the drive lanes of 146th Street or the vision clearance triangle at
the business driveway intersection with 146th Street.
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 sign is currently zoning compliant (based on existing right-of-way) and may need to be relocated if
additional right-of-way dedication is required.
DECISION
IT IS THEREFORE the decision of the Carmel/Clay Board of Zoning Appeals that Development Standards Variance
Docket No. ________________________is granted, subject to any conditions stated in the minutes of this Board, which
