HomeMy WebLinkAboutPacket for HO 06-28-21Page 1 of 12 Filename: Hearing Officer Development Standards Variance Application & info packet FINAL Revised 2/25/2021 Short memo/letter introducing the project Thank you for considering our application. We reside at 13048 Southampton Ct Carmel IN have lived here since 2002 timeframe. Through course of time the family has grown and also in our interests, particularly in swimming. Our desire for this project is to install a liner based pool and surrounding concrete deck. We have a challenging lot due to 100 year flood plain covering a larger portion of yard, sizeable drainage easement and steep hill on one side of the yard (and gradual hill on the other side). There is really only 1 location on the property for a pool and in order to accomplish encroach on the drainage easement. Statement of Variance request (short paragraph explaining what you are asking for) 5.02.c.7.a states a requirement that pool and decking have to be 3 ft off any easement. Variance request is for pool and concrete decking to encroach into the easement. The easement line runs diagonally, the encroachment would be a few feet on the northside of property to a maximum of 14’ 3’’ inches as you move toward the south. As we put together the design 32X20 we selected smaller size than desired 40X20 , as to avoid a situation where the pool and/or decking would go into the flood plain. Additionally, a 5’9” side yard setback is requested, 10’ required to allow for decking on the north side of the pool. Statement of Support (short paragraph explaining reasons supporting the request, including analysis and comparison of what is allowed vs. what is proposed) This project should be supported because it will bring the family together and will allow a nice space for family and friend gatherings. The addition of a pool is one of the many renovations/ add-ons that are happening in this area, which ultimately increase the property values of the neighborhood and across Carmel. We are asking for 14’3’’ encroachment into drainage easement as it is really the only way we can get the minimum pool size that will handle our family. Since this easement is on a gradual slope which is already quite bit above flood plain, there is no additional flood risk by this encroachment nor any impact to our neighbors. We are also asking for 5’9” setback instead of 10’ in the side yard so we can have space for seating, lounge chairs. We believe this is also limited impact as this is basically concrete that you won’t even see due to neighbors privacy fence. And we think there is precedence here as on the for this type of concrete as on the other side of the house, the driveway is built essentially within a foot or two of the property line. 30.9'4 0 . 4 '29.7'3 5 . 1 '3.0'139.2' ArcGIS WebMap Esri, HERE, Garmin, INCREMENT P, USGS, EPA, USDA Parcels FIRM Panels Cross-Sections Flood Hazard Boundaries Other Boundaries Limit Lines SFHA / Flood Zone Boundary Flood Hazard Zones 1% Annual Chance Flood Hazard Regulatory Floodway Special Floodway Area of Undetermined Flood Hazard June 14, 2021 0 0.01 0.020.01 mi 0 0.01 0.030.01 km 1:960 ArcGIS WebApp Builder CONCRETE WASH OUT BAG LOCATED ALONG ACCESS 50' FROM ANY DRAIN, DITCH OR WATER RUN OFF FEATURE ACCESSEXISTINGHOUSE56' - 3"66' - 3"13' - 9"EXISTINGDRIVEWAYEX.

Up to 70% quieter - Variable speed means it can operate at lower horsepower depending on need. Most homeowners run more filtration at night and can run lower during the day when they are using the pool. - Lastly there is a fence between our neighbor and we will connect to our house to close off the street/front of house, which will have noise mitigation benefits.

The approval of this variance will not be injurious to the public health, safety, morals and general welfare of the community because: There will be no impact to the public health, safety or community. There is a ~5 ft privacy fence along property closest to the pool between us and the neighbor. We will be extending a fence from the neighbor to our house. So, there will be no access or visibility from front of house. We will also be installing a lockable pool cover as well for safety reasons. 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: Adjacent owners will not be affected in a substantially advers e manner. We live on a private lot with no visible neighbors behind the lot. There is a ~5 ft privacy fence along property closest to the pool between us and the neighbor. We will be extending a fence from the neighbor to our house. So, there will be n o access or visibility from front of house and this will help with sound mitigation. We are installing a JANDY high efficiency variable speed pump, which can do the job with less HP than standard pumps. The proposed variance will not create increase flood hazard as the pool will be built well elevated above the flood plain. The house is well elevated above the flood plain and pool will be in alignment with the bottom of the house. 3. The strict application of the terms of the Unified Development to the property will result in practical difficulties in the use of the property because: The topographical condition of the property involved brings hard-ship in terms of constructing a pool, if the strict letter of the regulation were to be carried out. The only buildable space is the one targeted and a variance is required to achieve the minimum pool size to accommodate the pool and seating around it.
