EXPLANATION
The applicant, Paul and Amanda Hanna (collectively, “Hanna”), are the owners of a parcel
of real estate that is commonly known as 518 Almond Creek Drive, Carmel, IN (Jackson’s Grant on
Williams Creek Subdivision, Lot 330) and per the Office of the Auditor of Hamilton County,
Indiana, has a Tax Parcel Identification Number of 17-09-34-00-17-013.000 (collectively, the “Real
Estate”).
The Real Estate is zoned per the Silvera PUD, Ordinance No. Z-553-11, including any
applicable amendments thereto, including Z-652-20, the Estates/Northvale planning area and Hanna
is seeking the below described development standards variance in order for Old Town Design
Group to construct a custom residential home on the Real Estate that will include a swimming poo l
and pool deck.
1. Silvera PUD, Section 5.2 and UDO Section 5.02 (C) (7) (a) Private Swimming Pool
Minimum Rear Yard Setback – Minimum rear yard setback for swimming pool/pool deck
to be 3’ from any Easement; requesting rear yard setback for swimming pool/pool deck to be
0’ from an Easement.
The application of the UDO provision set forth above results in practical difficulties in the use
of the site because the proposed pool and pool deck, in order to be of a size that is appropriate and
practical, is located along the 30’ rear Drainage and Utility Easement, but not inside of the 30’ rear
Drainage and Utility Easement. Development of the site will comply with all other standards and
requirements related to drainage and the variance only requests the relief necessary to accommodate
development on the Real Estate for the proposed pool and pool deck. Due to the foregoing, absent
approval of the requested variance pertaining to the rear setback for a pool/pool deck, the Applicant
will be substantially impacted on how it is able to design an appropriately sized pool and pool deck
for its use on the Real Estate.
