CARMEL ADVISORY BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS
(Petitioner to fill out 1-3 +first two blanks)
Docket No.: PZ-2022-0096 V
Petitioner: James E. Thomas, Jr.
1. The approval of this variance will not be injurious to the public health, safety, morals and general welfare of the
community because:
The increase in coverage is a small percentage, the percentage includes a pool that will
essentially detain water, and approved plans include a significant stormwater detention
sytem sized for the requested coverage.
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:
Coverage is less than the coverage granted for many prior variances nearby, and
Applicant is installing a significant, engineered stormwater detention system to detain
runoff to pre-construction levels.
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:
Strict application would pose a unique burden for under-utlizing the property, compared
to many previously-granted variances for coverage. In addition, coverage defination was
updated to include drives/sidewalks/etc but the standard was not increased.
