Mr. Bill Mathews , 222 Beechmont Dr. , was not speaking against the
CARMEL BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS MINUTES - SEPTEMBER 24, 1990 5
served. It is not a blanket variance , it is only those lots that • •
we think are necessary to do . If it is precedent setting whereby
over 20% of your land is unused then so be it . Perhaps anyone
with that kind of thing should be able to receive some treatment .
Mr. Sweet does not believe personally that it is a financial
hardship on them whether they get this or not , they are
attempting to serve a market . They have the right to petition, so
they exercise that right . Mr. Sweet is very concerned that often
these proceedings get into innuendos and peoples intent and it
seems that those who are in the development community and attempt
to create homes that some of these people live in. Mr. Hansen
lives on a 100 ft . lot . They are very proud of them and they
feel that, as Mr. Hansen has chose this area and his lot size ,
there are others that might like to do that too . Others have had
the opportunity in the past, they don ' t think that others in the
future should be precluded. Their intent here tonight is not to
somehow make more dollars , but in fact to offer a product for
many people his age or older who are not looking forward to
spending their weekends mowing acres of grass , and yet would like
to spend a pretty reasonable amount for housing.
The public hearing was closed at 8 : 14 P .M.
Mr. Klar asked how many of the 52 lots that are left will be over
16 , 000 sq. ft . ?
Mr. Sweet stated that he could not answer that because they have
not submitted a primary plat at this time . There will be in
excess of 10 acres in parks and meadows .
Mr. Klar asked Mr. Brandau what the regulations were on the • •
number of curb cuts?
Mr. Brandau stated that primarily the lot width dimension
dictates the regulation . Our ordinance does not say how many
curb cuts you can have per linear feet, however, we do have the
120 ft or the 100 ft . lot width requirement that would dictate
that or influence the number of curb cuts that you would have
along the linear stretch of street .
The public hearing closed at 8 : 22 P .M.
