Findings of Fact - Development of Standards Variance
1. The approval of this variance will not be injurious to the public health,
safety, morals and general welfare of the community because the fence does
not harm or cause injury in any way. The fence will provide for more public
safety by providing additional separation from the adjacent property owner's
pool area. The fence will be gated on the west side.
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. The use of
the area of any adjacent homeowners will not change. The value will not be
affected because the plan as described will give the appearances of a six-foot
fence to the homeowners immediately living west of our property. The
appearance to any other homeowner's will be that of a side yard fence.
3. The strict application of the terms of the Zoning Ordinance to the
property will result in practical difficulties in the use of the property because
of quality of life concerns. Prior to the adjacent homeowners building a
pool, raised patio and retaining wall with fence, our backyard was a
peaceful, private and quiet retreat enjoyed on a regular basis by our family.
While we appreciate the right of other homeowners to enjoy their backyard,
the addition of their pool close to the property line with a raised patio,
retaining wall and fence has made it necessary for us to install a fence. The
fence will provide the necessary privacy for safety, vision and sound. The
application of the Zoning Ordinance would not allow the additional fence
height needed. The height is needed due to the raised patio, retaining wall
and fence constructed by our neighbors. Otherwise, a six-foot fence with
gate built on the existing land would have our neighbors looking over our
fence into our backyard and into our interior living space.

Statement of Variance
ZO Chapter 25.02.02 Fence Height and
Statement of Support
Applicant requests a Development Standard Variance in order to install a
fence along the west side of our property. The fence is a western red cedar
dog ear board on board six foot fence. The fence will be installed on sloping
property beginning at the north end of the side yard and sloping downwards.
We desire to have the fence appear uniform across the top of the fence from
the beginning to the end of the fence. To accomplish this appearance, as the
property slopes, the fence will need to be placed on posts above ground
level. The six foot tall fence will be raised above ground level in order to
compensate for the slope of the property.
This plan as described is necessary due to the adjacent homeowner's
construction of a pool and patio with a retaining wall and fence on top. The
adjacent homeowner raised the l~d level in some areas up to thirty two
inches with the addition of a retaining wall. The fence height needs
compensated for in order to account for this change. When the fence is
constructed, the adjacent homeowner will see a six foot fence from their
perspective straight across the top because of their property being raised.
The need for this request is due to Carmel/Clay Zoning Ordinance 25.02.02
that states, "Residential fences located within any required side or rear yard
shall not exceed six (6) feet in height, as measured from the topmost point
thereof to the ground adjacent to the fence." The fence as described above
will exceed six feet in height as measured from the topmost point to the
ground adjacent to the fence. The fence will begin as a six foot fence and be
raised on the posts as the sloping occurs. The fence will end at its highest
point at 104 inches Gust over eight and one half feet tall). A copy of the
proposed fence plan is attached.
Applicant is installing a fence to provide the privacy and security needed
and reduce sound as a result of the homeowner to the west ("Lot 3")
installing a pool. The variance is needed to respond to the situation created
by Lot 3 in the construction of their pool and landscaping along the property
lines. In the fall of2005, we experienced a change in our enjoyment to a
peaceful backyard once the pool next door began to be used. In addition,
from the ground floor within our home, we can see the pool and patio and
Lot 3 homeowners can see inside our home. We understand it is their right to
build a pool; however, the placement of the pool is very close to our
property line. The line of trees we have going down the west side of our
property does not provide the necessary privacy for safety, vision or sound.
The fence will provide us a greater level of privacy.
The variance in height we are applying for is necessary due to a retaining
wall constructed by Lot 3 close to the property line with a fence on top of
the wall. On January 4, 2006, Carmel Zoning drove by and found Lot 3
building a patio and retaining wall close to the property line. After further
investigation by Carmel Zoning, Lot 3 applied for Consent to Encroach
Agreement in February 2006.The retaining wall is thirty-two inches tall from
the ground. On top of the retaining wall is a picket fence. Attached are
digital pictures of the west side of the property line that clearly reflect the
build up of the retaining wall and pool level compared to the ground.
Because of the retaining wall and fence height on Lot 3, we need additional
height. Otherwise, a six foot high fence built along the sloping land would
not provide the privacy needed. Without the additional height, Lot 3 would
be standing on their patio around the pool looking over our fence. Our
fence, if built to comply with the Zoning Ordinance, would appear to be a 3
foot fence to Lot 3 homeowners at our property's lowest point. Even
without a fence, when Lot 3 homeowners are on their patio they are looking
down into our property from their patio. The trees we have which line the
yard do not completely block the vision.
Additionally, a gate will be constructed to connect the fence to the house.
The gate is to provide additional security for our child and guests since there
is a pool next door. The gate will also provide vision screening for inside
our house. We can see Lot 3' s pool and most of their patio from our first
floor living room and foyer and Lot 3 can see directly into the interior our
home.
