Carmel Board of Zoning Appeals,
Thank you for allowing the community to provide written and in person testimony. I am the original homeowner at
10775 Belair Drive (34 years in Lexington Farms), and it is my neighbor just two doors away that is requesting a use
variance for Short-Term Rental.
I trust that Carmel’s entire Division of Planning and Zoning exercises due diligence and allows short-term rentals
because:
Short-term Rentals DO NOT lower the neighborhood's property value,
Short-term Rentals DO NOT cause an increase in crime or reports of public nuisance,
Short-term Rentals BENEFIT the community. With Central Indiana planning to host more major
events (e.g. Westfield hosting LIV Golf tournament, etc.) there will be a growing demand for short-
term rentals. Also, there will be the benefit of tax revenue from the rental fee (Lodging Tax,
Income Tax) as well as revenue from the renters’ spending (Sales Tax),
Therefore, I support the approval of the short-term rental petition.
Regards,
Jan Kasper
