Subject: Proposed Variance for 1502 Mairn Avenue, Carmel
To Whom It May Concern:
My understanding is my neighbor (Cynthia Ackelmire) at 1502 Mairn Avenue, Carmel, IN is requesting a
variance to allow completion of her side/back patio that is presently under construction, but stalled by
the City of Carmel.
Cynthia’s home and my home nearly back up to each other with an alley in between that provides
access to our backload garages. Her home is very visual from our back patio and at present we’re
extremely hopeful she has the opportunity to complete her patio project that requires approval of a
variance.
Cynthia shared her vision for her patio with us and other neighbors from the very beginning and we
were in favor of her ideas and design. Additionally, the HOA Board approved it. Construction began but
was halted by the city due to a building ordinance issue (or something of that nature). She continues to
communicate her plans for a revised design that we find to be quite logical in relation to functionality
and the general appearance will offer significant appeal to her home and our neighborhood.
As a direct neighbor to Cynthia, my wife and I are in absolute favor of approval of the variance. She has
proven to really care about the appearance of her home and the ambiance of the neighborhood and her
efforts to further improve both is welcome.
Further, I also happen to be the President of the Clay Corner HOA so I am charged to fairly assess and
analyze proposed neighbor improvements for all home improvements to ensure they meet the
expectations for the individual home and the community overall. Speaking for myself and for the HOA
Board, we find that Cynthia’s plans for completion of her side/back patio will enhance the look and
appeal of her home and the neighborhood overall.
Please consider this as a recommendation from Felix and Tamara Melchor as direct neighbors, and from
Felix Melchor as Clay Corner HOA President for approval of the proposed variance by Cynthia Ackelmire
