EXHIBIT “B”
524 2nd Avenue NE, Carmel, IN 46032 - Development Standards Variances Project Description
The applicant, Wedgewood Building Company, LLC (“Wedgewood”), is the owner of a parcel
of real estate that is identified by the Hamilton County, Indiana Auditor’s Office as Tax Parcel
Identification Number 16-10-30-05-02-013.001, which parcel has a common address of 524 2nd
Avenue NE, Carmel, IN 46032 and is also identified as Lot 32 in CW Weidlers Addition (collectively,
the “Real Estate”). The Real Estate is west of and adjacent to 2nd Avenue NE and north of East Small
Street and is zoned R3/Residential and is within the Old Town Overlay - Character Sub-Area.
The Real Estate is undeveloped and Wedgewood desires to construct a new custom home on
the Real Estate. Associated with constructing the new custom home, Wedgewood is seeking the
following development standards variance:
1. UDO Section 3.64 (C) (3) (c) (i) – Maximum Parcel Coverage: 45% permitted;
requesting 54%.
The narrow configuration and smaller size of the lot presents practical difficulties in designing
a custom residential home on the Real Estate that meets the demands and desires of Wedgewood’s
client. In the event the parcel coverage variance is approved, Wedgewood understands it is required to
submit payment of $6,000 into the City of Carmel’s Stormwater Fund/Fee.
EXHIBIT “B”
524 2nd Avenue NE, Carmel, IN 46032 - Development Standards Variances Project Description
The applicant, Wedgewood Building Company, LLC (“Wedgewood”), is the owner of a parcel
of real estate that is identified by the Hamilton County, Indiana Auditor’s Office as Tax Parcel
Identification Number 16-10-30-05-02-013.001, which parcel has a common address of 524 2nd
Avenue NE, Carmel, IN 46032 and is also identified as Lot 32 in CW Weidlers Addition (collectively,
the “Real Estate”). The Real Estate is west of and adjacent to 2nd Avenue NE and north of East Small
Street and is zoned R3/Residential and is within the Old Town Overlay - Character Sub-Area.
The Real Estate is undeveloped and Wedgewood desires to construct a new custom home on
the Real Estate. Associated with constructing the new custom home, Wedgewood is seeking the
following development standards variance:
1. UDO Section 3.64 (C) (11) (c) – Buildings shall not exceed the height of the tallest dimension
of the nearest two (2) Character Buildings by more than seven (7) feet. If there are no
Character Buildings in the same block, or across the street, then Section 3.64.C.11.b shall
apply”; the subject home will be 24’9” in height and pending determination of the heights of
two (2) Character Buildings across the street and in the same block, a variance may be needed
from this standard.
The proposed home height on the Real Estate will be 24’9’ as calculated to the mid-point of the
roof. This home height complies with UDO Section 3.64 (C) (11) (b) which permits the maximum
height to be 30’.
However, there are two (2) Character Buildings located at 611 2nd Ave. NE and 651 2nd Ave.
NE, which are across the street and in the same block as the subject Real Estate which makes UDO
Section 3.64 (C) (11) (c) applicable. If it is determined that 611 2nd Ave. NE is approximately 23’10”
in height and that 651 2nd Ave NE is about 22’ in height, then the variance from this standard will not
be needed, because the proposed home will not be more 7 feet taller than 611 2nd Ave. NE. However,
pending confirmation of the building heights of the 2 Character Buildings in the area, Wedgewood is
filing for this variance.
