I am commenting on the appeal to a proposal for a zoning variance for the property at 10791 Belair Dr in
the Lexington Farms community (application ID PZ-2024-00142 SE). This appeal is to be heard at the
Nov. 25 meeting.
Lexington Farms is a community of owner resident, single family homes of which I am a home owner. To
allow the variance to permit short term (Air B&B type) rentals at this address would be the equivalent of
dropping a single unit motel into our residential community. This would be terrible for the Lexington
Farms community and a very bad idea for Carmel to start allowing essentially single unit "motels" to
appear in residential areas.
In summary, allowing short term rentals (single unit motels) embedded in a residential community is a
bad idea for Lexington Farms and for any other residential community in Carmel. The original denial for
this variance was the correct decision. This appeal should be denied.
