paths within the property total to 35.7%of the lot coverage
• We will contribute to the Carmel Engineering stormwater detention fund
• The house has 3 street frontages.It was difficult to conform with the 35' front yard setbacks off of Emerson Road
and 4th Avenue SW.
• We met with the Cannel Historic Commission to discuss our plans and they requested to position our garage to
the north,so it conforms with the aesthetics of the neighborhood. We now have a 13' setback instead of a 11'.
• 25' setback to the north(Emerson)and to the east(4th Ave SW)
• We received comments from a neighbor about concerns of the sightlines and visibility around the corner and we
exceed all requirements.

the driveway apron width

Board Comments:Jim Hawkins
• Did you receive comments from the neighbor,David Gagliano?He asked you to shift the house. What's the
purpose behind that?Tom Lazzara: Yes,we did speak with him and did a site visit.If we were to shift the home,
there would be less of a view of the new home from his home office window. We designed the location of the
home to align with the home to the north.Mr.Gagliano told us he was supportive of the design of the home.
Angie Conn: I'm aware of these conversations.It's more a preference for Mr. Gagliano.He is not here to speak
of it.Jim Hawkins: If Planning Staff and the Historic Society are fine with the plans,I will approve.
Approved 1-0 subject to addressing all Carmel Engineering Comments.
