Respectfully,
Brent and Devela Dilts
Statement of Request:
We are seeking a BZA Variance from UDO section 2.06 which specifies a max lot coverage of
35%in zoned S2/Residence.Our variance request is to allow a 47%lot coverage in order to
receive a building permit to construct a paver patio and patio covering on the back side of our
home.
Statement of Support:
The backside of our home at 11033 Lakeview Drive faces toward the lake.We would like to add
a paver patio and patio covering to the back of our home to make the current space more
enjoyable for our family to use.As it sits currently,it is very difficult to enjoy and utilize given the
amount of grass and outdated outdoor living space.The addition of a paver patio and patio
covering will be very aesthetically pleasing and add value to our property,which will also benefit
the other homes in The Woodlands subdivision.The patio covering will allow us to stay out of
the sun and the rain so that we can enjoy the patio space no matter the weather.There will be
no adverse impact to the properties that surround us,as the new patio will sit at the current
grade of the yard and the patio covering will be tucked in between the garage and sunroom.
The Woodlands HOA has approved our project and that letter can be viewed in this document.
The patio covering will be 12’x 32’and will be located within the proposed paver patio that will
total approximately 2800sf.

FINDINGS OF FACT SHEET -DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS VARIANCE
CARMEL ADVISORY BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS
Docket No.:PZ-2024-00030 V
Petitioner:Brent Dilts
1.The approval of this variance will not be injurious to the public health,
safety,morals and general welfare of the community because:
We are seeking approval to add an outdoor living space to the back
of our home.This will include a paver patio,fire pit area,and patio
covering.We have hired a reputable contractor to design and
install the project for us.It will not be a detriment to public health,
safety,morals or general welfare and it will add value to the home.
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 adjacent properties will not be affected because all rainwater
will drain from the patio area into the adjacent lake.The patio will
be appropriately sloped at a rate of 1 inch of slope for every 10 feet
of run towards the lake to prevent drainage from running on to
adjacent properties.The patio portion will sit at a similar grade to
the current yard and will not offer any obstruction of view to the
neighbors.The patio covering will be tucked back between the
sliding glass doors on the sunroom and the garage area and will
only be visible from the lakeside.The patio covering and paver
patio will be a nice update to the home increasing the property
values of surrounding homes.
3.The strict application of the terms of the Unified Development to the
property will result in practical difficulties in the use of the property
because:
The definition of lot coverage today includes all impervious materials such as asphalt,concrete,
and building footprints.The house,which was built in the late 1970’s,was not subject to all of
these impervious materials counting as lot coverage.It was more so about the building
footprint.The 35%lot coverage maximum limits the homeowner who has a
large circle driveway that has been there since the house was built.We are requesting 47%so
that the homeowners can make updates to the exterior of their home,increasing it’s value and
the surrounding properties.If we cannot obtain the variance permit,it will make it nearly
impossible to add value to our home by means of exterior property updates.
