CARMEL/CLAY BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS
Carmel, Indiana
Docket No.: UV-30-97
Petitioner: Westel-Indianapolis Company, dlbla Cellular One
FINDINGS OF FACT -SPECIAL USE
1. The particular physical characteristics of the premises are suitable for the Special Use because the premises are located in a
business district of mixed use. The past and present development of the area indicates that the Special Use is not
inconsistent with the comprehensive plan because the area around the premises is heavily commercialized. Just as other
forms of infrastructure are required for the development of a community, relay antennas for commercial mobile radio public
utility service are an important part of that infrastructure. Applicant, a public utility, is required to provide adequate and
reliable commercial mobile radio telecommunications service. The site is uniquely suited for and required for the Special Use
because of geographic,engineering, and other technical qualifications and requirements dictating the location for radio relay
towers and antennas and the system of which such antennas are a part. An antenna is needed at this specific location to
provide adequate public utility communications service to the surrounding community and public.
2. Special will have a positive cost/benefit effect related equipment building is to be constructed, operated and maintained is
directly adjacent to a government center with public safety agencies which intend to utilize the tower for their own
communications antenna needs. The Special Use will not adversely affect surrounding property values because the site is
located in a heavily commercialized business district with a heavy degree of existing utility poles, structures and lines and
because the site will be landscaped with adequate trees and shrubs to enhance its outward appearance and create and screen
and buffer around the site.
3. The Special Use is compatible with the existing uses and those permitted under current zoning in the vicinity of the premises
and does not adversely affect the neighborhood's integrity or other social and neighborhood considerations because the area
is currently zoned B-2/ Business and includes heavily commercialized and mixed uses. The site for the special use is located
on an alley behind several commercial businesses and will be shielded from the view of the general public traveling on nearby
thoroughfares.
4. The Special Use premises have adequate and available utility services because the property is located near existing telephone
and electrical facilities. The Special Use premises will not have any need for water or sewage services,even though both are
adequate and available, because it is an unmanned telecommunications facility without need of water or sewage facilities. The
Special Use premises will use existing storm drainage facilities and will not have any increased demand or effect upon such
facilities because of the nature of the telecommunications tower and communications building. There is adequate and
available police and fire protection for the property because of its proximity to the nearby fire station and the regularity of
Hamilton County Sheriff Department patrol of the immediate area.
5. The Special Use will not adversely affect vehicular or pedestrian traffic flow in and around the premises because the tower and
communications building are unstaffed and will not require regular travel to and from by applicants personnel other than for
periodic and remedial maintenance visits.
6. The Board has reviewed the requirements of Ordinance Z-320, Section 21.3(July 11, 1997)as they relate to this Special Use,
and does not find that those criteria prevent the granting of the Special Use:
