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”). Behind Tab 2 is a site location exhibit showing the location of the subject 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 pool
and pool deck. Enclosed is a site plan for the custom home showing the location of the proposed
pool and pool deck (see Tab 3), as well as the proposed home elevations (see Tab 4).
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 and
a small concrete pad for pool equipment 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. Further, a small concrete pad is proposed on the back side of the
garage for placement of pool pump and equipment, and this small concrete is also located along the
30’ rear Drainage and Utility Easement, but not inside of the 30’ rear Drainage and Utility
Easement. The variance only requests the relief necessary to accommodate development on the
Real Estate for the proposed pool, pool deck and small concrete pad. Due to the foregoing, absent
approval of the requested variance pertaining to the rear setback for a pool, pool deck and small
concrete pad, 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.
Included behind Tab 5 are the Findings of Fact and Ballot Sheets for the parcel coverage
variance request described above.
We look forward to presenting this request to you the BZA Hearing Officer at your
November 27, 2023 meeting.
Respectfully submitted,

CARMEL ADVISORY BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS HEARING OFFICER
CARMEL, INDIANA
Docket No.: PZ-2023-00236 V
Petitioner: Paul and Amanda Hanna
Request: 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 swimmi ng pool/pool
deck and small concrete pad for pool equipment to be 0’ from an Easement.
FINDINGS OF FACT - DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS VARIANCE
1. The approval of the requested variances will not be injurious to the public health, safety, morals
and general welfare of the community because:
The approval of the requested variance will not be injurious to the public health, safety, morals
and general welfare of the community because the proposed custom residential home, including
the pool and pool deck, have been designed to be consistent and compatible to the other custom
homes that are built and will be built in this section of the Jackson’s Grant community and
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 construction of an appropriately sized pool and pool deck. If approved,
the request should not result in any negative impacts to the public health, safety, morals and
general welfare of the community.
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:
The use and value of the area adjacent to the real estate that is the subject of the requested
variance will not be affected in a substantially adverse manner because the proposed use is a
permitted use on the Real Estate and the site will comply with all other standards and
requirements related to drainage and the variance only requests the relief necessary to
accommodate the construction of an appropriately sized pool and pool deck on the Real Estate.
Further, the proposed custom home to be built on the Real Estate is well-designed, aesthetically
and architecturally appealing; and, as a result, the requested variance should not have a
substantially adverse impact on the use and value of the area adjacent to the subject Real
Estate.
3. The strict application of the terms of the Zoning Ordinance to the property will result in
practical difficulties in the use of the property because:
The application of the UDO Section 5.02 (C) (7) (a) pertaining to private swimming pools and
the minimum rear yard setback provision results in practical difficulties in the use of the site
because the proposed pool/pool deck and small concrete pad for pool equipment, 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. As other
pools have been installed for homes in the Jackson’s Grant community, the Applicant desires to
install a pool and pool deck that is an appropriate and practical size. Due to the foregoing,
absent approval of the requested variance pertaining to the rear setback for a pool/pool deck
and small concrete pad, 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.
