Re: Property on 131 st Street in Carmel
Dear Mr. Newport:
I am following up with you per to our recent conversations regarding the above.
The Carmel Zoning Ordinance establishes a minimum lotlparcelarea of one (1) acre for
homes in the 8-1 Residence District that do not utilize public water or sewer.
The Department of Community Services does not generally require property owners of
parcels less than one (1) acre in area to immediately hook onto to public water or sewer
utilities when they become available.
However, in this case, the City of Carmel will initiate and execute, at no cost to the
property owner, a variance in order to obtain legally binding relief of the minimum lot
size requirement by the Carmel Board of Zoning Appeals. This will require signatures
from the property owner. This variance will not relieve the owner from connecting to
public sewer should that be required by the County Health Department or the Clay
Township Regional Waste Authority. We understand that you already have a letter from
John Duffy, the Director of Carmel Utilities, stating that you will not be required to
connect to the proposed water main being constructed along 131st Street.
Please feel free to contact me should you have questions or comments regarding any of
the above, 571 2422.
Yours truly,
/!~
