Location Maps: Adam & Shelly White 13695 Autumn Lake Ovlk Carmel, IN 46032 January 14, 2025 Dear Neighbor: We are Adam and Shelly White, owners of 13695 Autumn Lake Ovlk, Carmel, IN 46032. We are sending you this required legal notice because you have been identified as an adjoining or adjacent property owner by the City of Carmel. We have a current deck that is in disrepair and are seeking to replace it with a composite deck with aluminum railing and a 3-Season room that will match our existing architecture of the home. To do so, we are seeking a variance to 16.5-ft instead of the minimum 20-foot setback. The current deck is built to the same dimension, but a variance was never applied for when the original deck was built by previous owners. If you have any questions, please visit the public portal listed below in the legal notice. It will make available all documents submitted to the City of Carmel. If you have a question or concern after visiting the portal, feel free to contact our builder, Kevin Schluchter, owner, Cutting Edge Hardscapes at 317-409-9644 for any other questions you might have regarding this variance request.

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 use will maintain as R1/Residence and value of the property will be enhanced due to the new improvements.
