Worrell (collectively, the “Worrells”) Property: 235 1st Avenue NW, Carmel, IN 46032 Variances: UDO Section 3.64 (C) (3) (c) (i) – Maximum Parcel Coverage: 45% permitted; requesting 49%. FINDINGS OF FACT - DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS VARIANCE 1. The approval of this variance will not be injurious to the public health, safety, morals and general welfare of the community because: The requested variance is necessary in order to construct a new custom residential home on the Real Estate and approval of the variances will not be injurious to the public health, safety, morals and general welfare of the community. 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 construction of the new custom residential home on the Real Estate will be consistent and compatible with the other existing homes that surround and are in the vicinity of the Real Estate and the new custom home should have a positive impact on the use and value of the homes and area surrounding the Real Estate. 3. The strict application of the terms of the Zoning Ordinance to the property will result in practical difficulties in the use of the property because: The subject Real Estate is a narrow lot of a smaller size and is adjacent to alleys on the south and east sides of the Real Estate. The design of the Worrell’s custom home is generally consistent and compatible with other newly constructed and remodeled homes in the general vicinity of the Real Estate. The UDO standard for maximum parcel coverage, as strictly applied to the proposed custom residential home, presents practical difficulties in designing a custom residential home that meets the needs and desires of the Worrells, and which is generally consistent and compatible with other newly constructed and remodeled homes in the general vicinity of the Real Estate.
