CARMEL ADVISORY BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS
(Petitioner to fill out 1-3 + first two blanks)
Docket Nos.: PZ-2022-00226 V & PZ-2022-00228 V
Petitioner: _James Frye
1. The approval of this variance will not be injurious to the public health, safety, morals, and general welfare
of the community because:
We have a large 1.1-acre lot. The garage will be setback far away from our existing home and surrounding
properties. Our HOA reviewed our plans and approved this project.
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:
Similar large 1.1-acre lots surround our property. There are dense woods behind our property owned Carmel Clay
Parks (northwest end of West Park). Items being stored in the garage will be neatly stored inside the structure
and not visible by adjacent properties. This garage structure will enhance the value and use of our property.
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:
The current allowable square footage (24'x30') of a detached accessory building per the UDO is not large enough
to accommodate our vehicles, boat, and jet ski. I am proposing 30'x40' to help accommodate more storage room.
The current allowable height (18') of an accessory building is not tall enough for my proposed attic with dormers. I
am proposing 20'. The attic will be used as a storage space for my kids who are away at college.
