Home My WebLink AboutPacket for HO 09-28-20Docket No: PZ-2020-00134 V September 12, 2020 Docket No: PZ-2020-00134 V Petitioners: David and Amy Wilson Subject: Variance Request Overview & Summary To: City of Carmel Board of Zoning Appeals Hearing Officer We are requesting variance approval for a 5-foot fence at our home at 2979 Winterset Drive, Carmel, IN 46032. According to UDO section 5.09, the current fence height allowed is 42 inches for a front yard or corner lot. We are requesting approval for a 5-foot tall black metal ornamental fence to be installed around the perimeter of our backyard, which is a corner lot. On the east side, the fence will run parallel to Kings Mill Drive. There are two reasons we are requesting this variance for a 5-foot fence. First, we would like to safely contain our dog, Noodle, who as a puppy can already scale a 3-foot gate. Second, we would like to ensure safety for our neighborhood children and pets. We are in the process of installing a swimming pool in the back yard. Our back yard (corner lot) is accessible to the common areas of the neighborhood. Having a 5-foot barrier will ensure that children and pets cannot access the swimming pool. The proposed fence has already received approval from our Kings Mill Homeowners Association (see attached). The 5-foot fence will match the fence height and style of our adjoining neighbors. The fence runs parallel to the street but does not extend to the corner intersection; it will not obstruct vehicular sight lines or safety. We appreciate your consideration of this matter. Please let us know if you require additional information to support our request. David and Amy Wilson Petitioners Docket No: PZ-2020-00134 V Statement of Variance Request Petitioners request a variance to build a 5-foot tall fence along the perimeter of the back yard (corner lot) at 2979 Winterset Drive in Carmel in order to contain the family dog and protect neighborhood children and pets from the new swimming pool being installed in Fall 2020. The current UDO section 5.09 only allows for a 42” fence in front yards and corner lots. The proposed fence is black metal ornamental and has been approved by the Kings Mill Homeowners Association.
