It is zoned R3/Residence and within the Old Town Overlay Character Subarea. The Kings will be building a custom two-story single-family home. The home's final design plans have resulted in Old Town requesting the following variances. The first variance of development standards we are requesting is for building width. The design plans for the Kings resulted in a home with a width of 80 feet. The zoning ordinance allows fora maximum of 55 feet. The second variance of development standards is for height. The height of the home from approximate grade to the top of the highest peak is 36 feet and 1 9/16 inches. The zoningordinance states thatthe maximum house height is not to exceed the heightof the tallest dimension of the nearest two (2) Character Buildings by more than seven (7) feet; we are estimatingthe tallest dimension of the nearest Character Buildings just north of the subject property at 421 Pt Ave NE to be twenty-five (25) feet. We are requesting an additional height of 11 feet and 19/16 inches for the King's residence. The height of the King's residence is overthe allowable 7 feet maximum additional height by 5 feet and 19/16 inches. Lastly, the final design plans for the home resulted in two (2) window wells that encroach into the yard 42 inches. The zoning ordinance allows for a maximum of 24 inches of encroachment into the yard. We lookforwardto discussing these variance requests. September 16, 2022 Dear Carmel Board of Zoning Appeals: We have filed Development Standards Variance requests on behalf of our clients, Thomas and Yvonne King, fortheir property at 401 1st Ave NE, Carmel, IN in the Old Town Overlay Character Subarea. The final design plan for our clients resulted in a building width of 80 feet. The Unified Development Ordinance (UDO section 3.64.C.1) allows a maximum building width of 55 feet. The subject property is a wide lot in comparison to others Old Town Design Group has built upon when compared to others in this area. This particular lot was chosen by the Kings to help achieve the desired square footage and layoutfor theirforever home. The King's home design does not reach its full width until the garage wall toward the back of the home; this givesthe home a narrower appearance from the street. There is a home located at 521 11t Ave NE that is approximately72 feetwide atthe front of the home settinga precedentforthe width of homes on this street. Additionally, the final design plan for our clients resulted in a building height of the home from approximate grade to the top of the highest peak of 36' 19/16". The Unified Development Ordinance (UDO section 3.64.C.11) states that buildings shall not exceed the height of the tallest dimension of the nearest Character Buildings by more than 7 feet. We are estimating the tallest dimension of the nearest Character Building located just north of the subject property at 421 1st Ave NE to be 25 feet. The proposed variance we are requesting is for 11' 19/16", which an additional 5' 19/16" more than the allowable 7 feet. Finally, the final design plan for ourclient also resulted in the windowwells projecting into the yard 42 inches where the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO section 5.78.J) requires that windowwells project into a required yard a distance not to exceed 24inches. The window wells in the design of the home are consistent in design and scale. The Fitness Room in the basement istechnically a bedroom as it has a closet and due to the Building Code requires the egress window. We believe thatthe increase in building width, height, and projection of windowwells into the side yard will allow our clients to build their "age in place" home with adequate square footage and the desired living space. The proposed home's width, height, and window well projection has been designed to be consistent and compatible with adjacent new construction. We believe the custom home will have elevationsthat are attractive and will be a good fit forthe neighborhood, keeping in line with the quality of The Old Town Design Group, LLC'ssingle-family homes. We look forward to the BZAmeetingon Monday, September26,2022, and will gladly answerany questionsyou mayhave at thattime.

The lot is a wider lot and accommodates the width of the home. The home's width is similar to others in the area, for example, the home at 521 1 st Ave NE. 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: the proposed construction of the home and its design is consistent with and compatible to the character and size of other single-family homes in the area. 3. The strict application of the terms of the Unified Development Ordinance to the property will result in practical difficulties in the use of the property because: it would not allow the sufficient space or design quality to build the home in a manner that fits with the lot, nor would it be consistent and comparable to the character and size of other newly built homes in the area. The width of the home allows for age in place design such as the primwy bedroom on the first floor. nF_CISION It is therefore the decision of the Carmel Board of Zoning Appeals that Development Standards Variance Docket No. is granted, subject to any conditions stated in the minutes of this Board, which are incorporated herein by reference and made a part hereof. Adopted this day of CHAIRPERSON, Carmel Board of Zoning Appeals SECRETARY, Carmel Board of Zoning Appeals 20 Conditions of approval of the Board, if any, are listed on the Letter of Grant.

The approval of this variance will not be injurious to the public health, safety, morals and general welfare of the community because: the maximum height of the home is not reached until the main ridge in the middle of the home's elevation and is staggered with the gables to achieve the desired architectural elements while seeking to elevate the design and quality of the homesite. The home's height is similar to others in the area. 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: the proposed construction of the home and its design is consistent with and compatible to the character and size of other single-family homes in the area. The staggered height of the roofline provides transition from the tallest ridge to the lower ridges of the home. 3. The strict application of the terms of the Unified Development Ordinance to the property will result in practical difficulties in the use of the property because: it would not allow the sufficient space or design quality to build the home in a manner that fits with the lot, nor would it be consistent and comparable to the character and size of other newly built homes in the area. The height of the home allows for age in place design and the primary living space on the first floor while still having the ability to have the additional living space that fits their needs for the present time.

The approval of this variance will not be injurious to the public health, safety, morals and general welfare of the community because: the window wells that project into the side yard are along the side of the home that offers no other access and opposite the garage. Their purpose is to achieve the desired light in the basement and seeking to elevate the design and quality of the homesite. 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: the ro osed construction of the home and its design is consistent with and compatible to the character of other homes in the area. The window wells provide natural light to and egress from the basement of the home. 3. The strict application of the terms of the Unified Development Ordinance to the property will result in practical difficulties in the use of the property because: the window well that projects into the side yard toward the front of the home outside the "Fitness" labeled room could also be a Bedroom as it has a closet and therefore requires the egress window. I he second window well toward the rear of the home has the same dimensions to be consistent in design. Without the window wells, it would not allow the sufficient natural light into the space or provide the design quality to build the home in a manner consistent and comparable to the character and size of other newly built homes in the area while allowing for age in place design. The clients have an allowance in their build for railing or grate covers for the window wells.
