CARMEL ADVISORY BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS
(Petitioner fills out 1-3, and first 2 blanks)
Docket No.:
PZ-2022-00159 V
Petitioner: The Old Town Design Group, LLC
1. The approval of this variance will not be injurious to the public health, safety, morals and general welfare of the
community because:
the maximum width of the home is not reached until the back garage wall; the home's elevation along the front is
staggered with the narrower elevation at the front. 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 1st 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 primary bedroom on the first floor.

FINDINGS OF FACT SHEET -DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS VARIANCE
CARMEL ADVISORY BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS
(Petitioner fills out 1-3, and first 2 blanks)
Docket No.:
PZ-2022-00161 V
Petitioner: The Old Town Design Group, LLC
1. 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.
DECISION
It is therefore the decision of the Carmel Board of Zoning Appeals that Development Standards Variance Docket No.
FZ-20 Zz-001(0l V is granted, subject to any conditions stated in the minutes of this Board, which are
incorporated herein by reference and made a part hereof.
