CARMEL ADVISORY BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS
Docket No.: PZ-2022-00234
Petitioner: Steve Stein Blue Door Builders
1. The approval of this variance will not be injurious to the public health, safety, morals and general welfare of the
community because:
Switching the driveway materials from standard concrete should have no effect on the above list of concerns. It will
be a compliment to the neighborhood which has many similar materials already being used. The main portion of
the drive is on private property and should not effect the neighbors.
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:
By changing the driveway materials to combine concrete next to the house, adding paver boarders and accents,
and decorative gravel in between will enhance the overall project and create more curb appeal to this home.
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:
If we are held to the strict application of the UDO we will have a hard time getting this home to look aesthetically
pleasing in the front. The front yard motor court will look more like a basketball court than a decorative center
piece which will look very out of place and become more of an eyesore than a high end driveway.
