CARMEL BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS
HEARING OFFICER: DEPARTMENT REPORT
May 21, 2007
I-3d. 10555 Hussey Lane - Accessory Building
The applicant seeks the following development standards variance approval:
Docket No. 07030029 V Section 25.01.01.B.1 accessory building height
The site is located at 10555 Hussey Ln. and is zoned S-2/Residence. Filed by Larry Jones.
106TH ST
General Info:
The petitioner seeks variance approval to construct an
accessory building that exceeds the 18-ft height limit. The
structure will be close to 30-ft in height, so that it can be
used for an indoor basketball court. It will be clad in wood,
with a standing seam metal roof, and will be built 4 feet
above grade in case of flooding events. The existing tennis
court will be moved to accommodate the new building, and
both will be landscaped. Neither the building nor the
tennis court will have exterior illumination.
Analysis:
The property is 15 acres in size, and an indoor basketball
court could easily be placed on this site and far away from
the house and the street. The height of the structure is
necessary to appropriately be able to play basketball
indoors, without any interferences of a low ceiling. The
building is also proposed to be placed towards the back of
the property, which is heavily wooded and has a grade change of approximately 30 feet from front to
back. The existing woods, grade change, and proposed landscaping will all help screen the proposed
building from surrounding properties.
Findings of Fact:
1.) The approval of this variance will not be injurious to the public health, safety, morals, and
general welfare of the community because: the large size of the property and the building
placement will allow the accessory building to not create a negative impact.
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 large size of the property and the
building placement will allow the accessory building to not create a negative impact.
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 property owner will not be able to
adequately construct an indoor basketball court on this large parcel, possibly having a negative
effect of the property owner's quality of life and property value.
Recommendation: The Dept. of Community Services recommends positive consideration of Docket
No. 07030029 after all questions/concerns are addressed.

Dear Sirs,
We have reviewed the Site Plan, Elevations and Landscape Plan for the proposed Accessory
Building and have found that this structure will not affect our project. The amount of existing
mature trees and the distance between our location and the proposed structure is
substantial. The Reserve is located on the East side of Spring mill Street and the proposed
structure should not be visible from our developments site.
Please include this letter in support of the project with any documentation provided for the Simon
Accessory Building Variance.
Sincerely
~A#L
Steve Pittman
