HomeMy WebLinkAboutExplanation of Variance EXHIBIT “B” PROJECT AND DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS VARIANCE DESCRIPTION The applicant, Wedgewood Building Company, LLC (“Wedgewood”), is the owner of a parcel of real estate that is commonly known as 12183 Hobby Horse Drive, Carmel, IN, 46032 (Jackson’s Grant on Williams Creek Subdivision, Section 4, Lot 239) and per the Office of the Auditor of Hamilton County, Indiana, has a Tax Parcel Identification Number of 17-09-34-00-13- 041.000 (collectively, the “Real Estate”). Site location exhibits are included that show 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, the Estates/Northvale planning area and Wedgewood is seeking to build a custom home on the Real Estate. Also included is the proposed site plan, as well as the proposed custom home elevations. Associated with the construction of the custom home on the Real Estate, Wedgewood is seeking approval of the following development standards variance request from the Board of Zoning Appeals Hearing Officer: Silvera PUD, Section 6.1, Exhibit “L” Maximum Parcel Coverage – Maximum 50% lot coverage allowed for Bridgecreek lots; requesting 53% lot coverage. The application of the Silvera PUD Lot Coverage standard results in practical difficulties in the use of the site because the Applicant is seeking a home footprint and home size for the proposed custom home that is generally consistent and compatible with the other custom homes that surround the Real Estate. Also, many of the homes in this Section of Jacksons Grant are on relatively smaller lots with larger homes and building a home on the Real Estate that is consistent and compatible with the other surrounding custom homes, combined with the Applicant’s need to construct a home of a certain size and footprint, necessitates the Lot Coverage variance request. Construction of the home will comply with all other required standards and requirements related to drainage and the variance only requests the relief necessary to accommodate development on the Real Estate for the desired custom home design. Due to the foregoing, absent approval of the requested variance pertaining to the maximum allowable percentage of lot coverage, the Applicant will be substantially impacted on how it is able to accommodate the desired home design for its intended buyer.
