Proposed ordinance amendment to exempt Clay Township facilities and buildings from the zoning requirements and procedures of the Carmel\Clay Zoning Ordinance. Staff believes the ideal situation would be for all City, Township, County, State and Federal Governmental agencies comply with the Developmental Standards of the Zoning Ordinance for any facility they would propose, and would be required to TAC and staff review of the facility proposed. Staff does recognize legal conflicts may not allow the enforcement of those standards. 2. Committee to consider Docket No. 43-91 Z, a rezone application for John & Margaret Fillenwarth. Site consists of .41 acre of land located approx. 1000' north of 103rd Street, on the east side of Pennsylvania. Site is currently zoned R-1 (residence). Rezone request is to zone this property to R-3 (residence) for the construction of a two-family dwelling. Filed by John & Margaret Fillenwarth. Staff would comment that the petitioner will need to seek a developmental standards variance of Section 2.4 of the Carmel\Clay Zoning Ordinance (see below) - Lots - In no case shall there be more than one principal building used for residential purposes, and its accessory buildings, located on one lot. every building hereafter erected shall be locatecron a platted lot or on an unplatted lot or tract as approved by the Building Commissioner, which abuts upon and has adequate frontage on a publically dedicated street and has adequate storm water drainage. The petitioner's lot fronts onto Pennsylvania Street in a section that has been dedicated but not accepted by the County as of this date. Therefore, the petitioners lot does not have frontage on a publically dedicated street. Staff, County Highway and the property owners involved have been working to resolve this situation. The Carmel\Clay Comprehensive Plan Update 1991 - calls for this area to be developed as Medium Density Residential - The level of development recommends more intensive types of single family residential development at an average of 2 to 4 dwelling units per gross acre. 11111, Page 2 Committee Staff Recommendations November, 1991 This rezone application is for the construction of a duplex on .41 acres of land. The Comp. Plan would call for that type of development in the High Density Residential Areas designated on the Comp. Plan. Additionally, the development of the site as proposed would not meet the 2 to 4 units per acre (proposed approx. 5 units per acre). of the Medium Density Residential classification. Staff would state that the petitioner has committed to the plans on file as to the Architectural design of the proposed building, if for any reason tho\se plans are modified after approval of the rezone, the petitioner would need to reappear before the Carmel\Clay Plan Commission and the Carmel City Council for approval of the modifications. Staff would recommend the Committee consider the following; - The subject site may not be entirely suitable for single family residential development - Duplexes can be a suitable buffer between existing single family residential and Regional Commercial Development - Approval could set a precedent for this type of development in the area, which should indicate a need to amend the Comprehensive Plan 3.
