To Carmel BZA hearing officers:
The project before you at 1034 Oswego Road Carmel, Indiana is for an enhanced outdoor living
space. This space is to include a 18’ x 35’ gunite pool with autocover and a modest paver pool
deck on the east and south sides. The outdoor space will be adjoining an existing elevated
paver patio and replacing a lower paver patio. The space will be landscaped to integrate the
structure into the existing terrain.
We are asking for a variance in UDO Section 2.10 Max 35% lot cover allowed. We are asking
for 42.5% coverage.
The reason for this additional coverage is so that a pool and associated pool deck of
appropriate architectural scale and styling can be constructed on the site. Without a variance
the necessary adjustments to the proposed project may have an adverse effect to the safety of
the property due to the reduced size of the pool and associated pool deck as well as the closer
proximity to other outdoor spaces with alternate uses. It may also negatively affect the property
value as alternatives may be inferior in styling and architectural design and appropriateness.

The use of the property will remain residential and the proposed improvements are
consistant with that of the community and site.
The proposed improvement will increase the value of the subject property and in turn
the adjacent properties; the development would be cohesive and consistant with
existing developments on the site.
It will limit the ability improve the property as proposed. The strict application would limit the
ability to safely and aesthetically integrate the pool and associated elements into the
property. The proposed improvement is otherwise consitant with residential ordinances
RE: PZ-2020-00186 v
To Carmel BZA hearing officers:
The project before you at 1034 Oswego Road Carmel, Indiana is for an enhanced outdoor living
space. This space is to include a 18’ x 35’ gunite pool with autocover and a modest paver pool
deck on the east and south sides. The outdoor space will be adjoining an existing elevated
paver patio and replacing a lower paver patio. The space will be landscaped to integrate the
structure into the existing terrain.
We are asking for a variance in UDO Section 5.02.C.7. The standard states that a pool and
associated pool deck be 3’ from any easement. We are asking to encroach 3 feet into the rear
drainage and BMP easement.
The reason for this additional encroachment is so that a pool and associated pool deck of
appropriate architectural scale and styling can be constructed on the site. Without a variance
the necessary adjustments to the proposed project may have an adverse effect to the safety of
the property due to the reduced size of the pool and associated pool deck as well as the closer
proximity to other outdoor spaces with alternate uses. It may also negatively affect the property
value as alternatives may be inferior in styling and architectural design and appropriateness.
Due to the topography of the site and distance from the drainage elements, in this case a
communal rain garden for the Coombs minor plat, the encroachment should not have an
adverse effect on the access or usage of the aforementioned easement.
