CARMEL ADVISORY BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS
(Petitioner to fill out 1-3+ first two blanks)
Docket No.: PZ-2022-0129V and PZ-2022-00130V
Petitioner: William Speidel
1. The approval of this variance will not be injurious to the public health, safety, morals and general
welfare of the community because:
New home will be built to current construction standards and building codes. Home will be built
with up-to-date materials to ensure home meets highest level of safety. New wiring and electrical
systems, fire rated flooring and walls, smoke/carbon monoxide detectors, upgraded glass, etc.
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:
New home will increase the value of my property and will enhance the value of adjacent properties
and make them more desirable. Better to have a brand new house next door than one that needs
maintenance, repairs and is unkept. We are requesting to stay within the 10' side setbacks and
not affect the use of adjacent properties in any way.
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:
Practical difficulties are created because the lot is currently limited by a 50' building line from the
front property line and a golf course to the rear. Home we would like to build is ranch which
requires a larger footprint. Requesting 5' additional width and an additional 15' 1" of room in the
front to keep the house back from the golf course. This will help alleviate the home and our family
and guests being potentially hit by an errant golf ball. This will also increase privacy and limit noise
coming from golfers and maintenance workers. I have personally spoken with as well as mailed
our site plan and elevations to all five of our adjacent neighbors. Every neighbor has given
written approval of our plans. Attached are their approval signatures.
