CARMEL ADVISORY BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS
(Petitioner to fill out 1-3+first two blanks)
Docket No.: PZ-2022-00011 -00012 V
Petitioner Tom I a772ra
1. The approval of this variance will not be injurious to the public health, safety, morals and general welfare of the
community because:
The proposed house is set back 25' or more from the curb on all sides, providing ample sight
lines, which is greater than the setbacks of the properties east of 4th Street and north of
Emerson on 4th Street. The east setback compliments the setbacks of existing houses on the
north on 4th Street.
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:
In the proposed new structure we are adding sidewalks around street perimeter for
neighborhood use. We are positioning the structure 8' farther north than the existing to
provide more privacy for the south neighbor. The proposed new home will provide clearer
site lines than the neighbors east of 4th street. The proposed also will mirror similar
setbacks on the east elevation to the homes north of Emerson on 4th street.
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 UDO requirement of 35' setback is intended to be for a front yard. As this site is
classified as having three front yards, the use of a 35' setback on all three sides from the
property line makes for an unreasonably small building site. The existing home would not
conform to this standard.
