Re: Use Variance - Coram Deo Academy, PZ- 2022-00079 UV
Dear Mr. Crabtree:
This letter is confirmation of our meeting on April 19, 2024, regarding the fulfillment of
Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) requirements and the Board of Zoning Appeals
Conditions of Approval for Docket PZ-2022-00079 UV as referenced in the Letter of Grant
for that petition dated June 29, 2022.
It is the belief and understanding of this office that the Coram Deo Academy has met the
provisions of LIDO Article 9.15, including the need for continuous construction within three
(3) years, and including completion of the landscape installation and approval by the City's
Environmental Planner, Daren Mindham, which occurred on June 20, 2023.
While it was clearly communicated by the Board of Zoning Appeals (BZA) that all site and
building improvements were to be completed by June 27, 2025, the Coram Deo Academy
has requested an extension for completion of the sidewalks and multi -use path
requirement which includes:
0 425' of 5' sidewalk along E. 117th Street
• 600' of 10' multi -use path along Congressional Avenue
• 810' of 10' multi -use path along College Avenue
The Department of Community Services (DOCS) supports the extension request, due in part
to the significant investment already made on building and site improvements. Based on
our phone conversation earlier this week, it is my understand that you and the Coram Deo
Academy Board agree to a three-year phased construction plan for completion of the
improvements, as follows:
Phase I - completion not later than August 1, 2025
Phase II - completion not later than August 1, 2026
Phase III - completion not later than August 1, 2027

Construction details for the improvements will require plan submittal to and final approval
by Carmel's Engineering Department and the Board of Public Work and Safety.
If you would like to discuss any of the above, or if I can assist further, please call my office
at 317 571 2422, or email anytime, mhollibaugh@carmel.in.gov
Sincerely yours,
Mich el Holli gh, irector
