Docket No. PZ-2023-00065 V
Robbins Subdivision
11400 Westfield Boulevard
Carmel, IN 46032
Dear Mr. Jordan:
Section 102.05.iii (a) of the current City of Carmel Stormwater Technical Standards Manual states that
the submitted drainage design include a ”Post-developed watershed map including off-site drainage
areas that need to be accommodated, including the fully developed right-of-way per the City of
Carmel 20-year Thoroughfare Plan.” Please know that the project site and the Westfield Boulevard
west half right-of-way both drain to the same roadside drainage swale which drains south along the
west side of Westfield Boulevard. It’s not practical to drain the right-of-way through the roadside
swale onto the subject site and “accommodate” the runoff from the public right-of-way.
Accommodating the right-of-way drainage would impose an unnecessary hardship on the developer.
The project drainage design does accommodate the developer’s stormwater and there are no local
adverse drainage impacts anticipated following construction of the proposed stormwater
management system.
We’re respectfully requesting a variance of technical standards as described by Section 105.05.iii (a)
and ask that the City Engineer’s Office accept the proposed drainage design as submitted. There are
no plans to “accommodate” the public right-of-way drainage with this project.
Should you have any questions or request additional information pertaining to this project, please
contact me at 317-490-4036.
