RE: PZ-2023-00059 Variance Request APR 1 12023
Stephen and Nancy Rasmussen, Property Owners BY:
A) Short Letter Introducing Project
Thank you for your consideration of variance request#PZO 2023-00059 for the property owned by
Stephen and Nancy Rasmussen, located at 13835 Towne Road, Carmel, Indiana. As an introduction, we
are the new owners of this property. After 50 years of living and raising a large family with eight children,
on five acres with a large lofted barn and other outbuildings, we recently bought this 1.77 acre property to
live nearer to some of our children and grandchildren who currently live in Carmel. This property will be
our full-time residence. Because the property had become very run down, and even sat vacant for the
previous two years, we have had to embark on completely renovating the house and property. In its
current condition, the property is not befitting of the neighboring property owners nor the other well-
maintained properties in the area. We have begun major renovations of the primary home and are in
need of an accessory building space whose exterior will be finished to match the new exterior of the
house. We have a large extended family who gather frequently with us for holidays, special events and
visits in general. As the result, we have quite a bit of yard furniture and other larger holiday and seasonal
items that are used periodically throughout the year. We also have a large amount of lawn maintenance
equipment, gardening tools, enclosed trailer, gator, snowblower, roto-tiller, etc. for which this accessory
building (detached garage) is much needed. Once completed, the property, home and accessory building
will be a welcome improvement to the area.
B) Statement of Variance Request
We are specifically asking for this variance request for a 30 x 60 accessory building. Plans for the
building have been previously submitted and describe the specifics. There will be three garage doors,
two man doors and windows on three sides. The building will sit between and horizontally to the primary
home and the adjacent PSI power station. The building will be constructed and finished to match the
primary home and will be esthetically pleasing, blending as well with the landscape and trees that
currently exist.
C) Statement of Support
Current Carmel ordinances dictate that an accessory building shall be limited to 24x30 if the property is
under 3 acres. Although our property is just under 2 acres (1.77) there is ample green space to position
our requested 30x60 accessory building without intrusion, even allowing us to move it further in from the
adjacent property lines than is required. Our neighbors to the north, Will and Lindsay Gilbert, have stated
their full support of our request. The property owner to the NE is a PSI power substation. The property to
our south consists of four acres of undeveloped land. The property to our E, offset by a sizeable tree line
and greenspace, is the Lakeside Park Homeowners Association, Inc. As stated above, allowing this
variance will provide the opportunity for us to park additional vehicles, yard maintenance and gardening
equipment, off-season lawn furnishings and holiday decor in a neat and orderly fashion, thus improving
the overall esthetics of the property. In addition, the new building will break up the site line from the back
of our property to the power station that sits immediately adjacent to our property. Finally, this building
will be constructed and finished with the same materials and color scheme as the renovated house, using
only high quality building materials. The property, home and accessory building will be maintained in a
neat and esthetically pleasing way for which we and the neighbors will appreciate and be proud.
