RE: Revocation of Permit No. 07040094
Dear Mr. Steffen:
Pursuant to the authority vested in me by the general ordinances of the City of Carmel,
Indiana, I hereby revoke the above referenced permit.
This office has determincd that the premises on which your proposed barn (or detached
garage, as described in your application for an Improvement Location Pemlit) would be
situated constitutes a Double Frontage Lot under Chapter 3 of the Carmel Zoning
Ordinance. Pursuant to Section 26.02.01 of the Zoning Ordinance, a front yard or setback
must be provided on both adjacent streets, namely Gray Road and Windpointe Pass.
Section 5.04.03.A provides for a minimum front yard in the S-I Residence District of
forty (40) feet from the right-of-way of the public streets. In addition, this office has
determined that the proposed barn would not conform to the definition of an Accessory
Use set forth in Chapter 3 of the Zoning Ordinance, which requires that the Accessory
Use be both "subordinate to the main use" and "incidental to the main use" on the same
lot. In view of the fact that the barn would not be used in conjunction with the existing
residential use (the house situated on the same lot), the barn is determined to be neither
"subordinate" nor "incidental" to the main use of the premises. Finally, it is this office's
determination that, even if the barn otherwise constituted an accessory building or use,
that such building or use would alter or change the residential character of the premises,
in violation of Section 25.01.01.A.I of the Zoning Ordinance.
Pursuant to Section 30.01 of the Zoning Ordinance, you may appeal this revocation of
your permit to the Cannel Board of Zoning Appeals. Appeals must be filed within thirty

RE: Revocation of Permit No. 07040094
Dear Mr. Steffen:
I
On Saturday, May 19, 2007, your building permit referenced above was revoked by the Department of
Community Services of the City of Carmel, Clay Township. At this time, we would like to make you I
aware of some options regarding this situation.
First, if you do not have any intention of building the structure, or a modified version of the project, yoP
are able to apply for a refund of certain portions of the permit fee you paid. The fees available for
refund for this permit would be the Certificate of Occupancy cost of $55 .50, and the fees for the three
(3) inspections that were assessed as required. The inspection fees were assessed as $57.50 each, so the
total for those is $172.50. The total amount you can then apply for in a refund request is: $228.00.
Attached is our refund request form, should you choose this course of action.
If, however, you intend to appeal the decision, or intend to apply for a variance, in order to proceed with
the project or a modified version of the project, you could hold off on applying for a refund. If you
gained approvals, we could then reinstate the permit. If there were changes to the project from that
which was originally approved, we would have you apply for an amendment/revision to the original
permit.
If you have any questions regarding these options, please let us know. (317) 571-2444.
Thank you,
