The applicant seeks the following development standards variance approval:
7. Docket No. PZ-2021-00209 V Silvara PUD Section 6.1 Maximum 50% lot cover allowed,
55.9% requested. The site is located at 517 Dickson Ln. (in Jackson’s Grant on Williams Creeks
Subdivision Lot 267). It is zoned PUD/Planned Unit Development (Z-652-20). Filed by Matt Huffman of
Old Town Design Group on behalf of Scott & Jamie Bowers, owners.
General Info & Analysis:
The Petitioner seeks approval to construct a new single-family home with attached garage. The maximum lot
coverage allowed by the PUD Ordinance is 50%, and the proposed lot cover is 55.9%. This is a 5.9% increase.
Please see the Petitioner’s info packet for more detail on the variance request.
The stormwater detention and management for the entire development was master planned with the original plat
and construction plans. Per the Carmel Engineering Dept., the owner needs to provide some on-site stormwater
detention. If we keep having lots exceed the allowable lot coverage, there could be capacity issues down the
road…

request, with the condition that the Petitioner works with the Carmel Engineering Dept. to gain drainage
plan approval.
