CARMEL ADVISORY BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS
(Petitioner to fill out 1-3 +first two blanks)
Docket No.: PZ-2021-00088 V
Petitioner: Heather&Jason Allen
1. 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 adverse 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 no
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.
