Carmel Clay Board of Zoning Appeals
One Civic Square
Cannel, IN 46032
Property location: 2640 W. 96th Street, Indianapolis
Docket No. 07070012 SU (Special Use)
Religious Uses in a Residential District
We opposed the granting of the Special Use and Lot Width variances (06050007 and 06050008)
that had been requested by Lubavitch of Indiana in the fall 2006.
Once again, we strongly oppose the granting of the Special Use variance that is being requested
by Lubavitch of Indiana at this meeting.
Contrary to its fall 2006 petition, Lubavitch ofTndiana has not filed for a minimum lot width
variance. We understand that the approximate width of the property is 136 ft. rather than the 200
ft. minimum width as specified in Zoning Ordinance 5..04.03.E for special use. Since this would
require about half again as much more width, do they not need to apply for a minimum lot width
variance? In as much as the proposed use of this property is NOT for a private residence, we
strongly believe that the required 200 minimum lot width should apply to building a place of
worship on a lot zoned for residential use.
Not all of the affected homeowners received a notice of this public hearing. In fact, five of the
homeowners who abut the new facility have purchased their homes since the fall 2006. Two of
these new neighbors, who have moved in within the past two weeks, will abut the parking Lot and
had no idea of the proposed development. Another is moving into their home presently and was
unaware as well. A fourth moved in about three months ago, and the fifth several months earlier.
Furthermore, the signagefor the October 22,2007 hearing is very difficult to see along 96th Street
and also is difficult to read because of small print. Traveling east on 96th Street, nobody can see
the signage until one is almost past it and even then could not even read the sign going 30 mph.
Heading west on 96th Street, the signage is visible at the east property line, but is partialLy
obstructed by weeds.
The reasons we oppose the variance are:
. Lubavitch ofIndiana correctly states that the property east of the new facility, owned by
College Park Baptist Church, is currently zoned "S-} with special use variance." However,
the College Park Baptist Church structure is placed on the property at a distance of
hundreds of feet from the adjoining common area(s). The new facility being proposed by
Lubavitch ofIndiana will be constructed as close to the common area as regulations allow.
This is a totally different situation than College Park Baptist Church.
. When Shelborne Greene homeowners purchased their properties along Cypress Way, we
understood that 2640 W. 96th Street was zoned residential that would permit only a single
family dwelling on the lot. When the owner purchased the property at 2640 W. 96th Street,
he had to have understood the same zoning restrictions. We do not believe that one
person's desire to construct a new facility for any purpose should supersede the rights of
the 18 adjacent property owners along Cypress Way and Inverness Boulevard in Shelborne

Greene. Lubavitch of Indiana will argue that College Park Baptist Church has a special use
variance. And so they will say that Shelborne Greene homeowners should not object to
having another religious structure adjacent to their properties. However, College Park
Baptist Church preceded the development of Shelborne Greene neighborhood. All
homeowners building or buying homes were aware of its presence at the time of their
purchases. The lot in question at the present time served as a perfect buffer between
Shelborne Greene and College Park Baptist Church and afforded a sense of privacy because
it was zoned residential. So their argument is not a valid one.
o Construction wilL require removal of many large trees that otherwise would provide a visual
and sound buffer between adjacent homes and the building. Any new landscaping would
not likely serve as suitable replacements and would take years to grow. Thus, we and other
neighbors west of the new facility will be directly affected by having to view the back of a
building or a parking lot rather than the current natural landscape. This fact alone will have
a direct affect on the resale value of our homes, some of which were purchased at a
premium due to the fact that they abutted the natural landscape.
· Because the new facility will not be a private residence, security will be an issue since the
building will not be occupied overnight as would a private residence, with the exception of
Friday nights. Furthermore, the architect's design of the driveway and north parking lot
would give access to the public to drive unseen after dark into the parking lot and
potentially gain easy access to the adjacent lots in Sherborne Greene. If the security Lights
remain lit at night, this might attract the public to unauthorized use of the parking lot,
including skateboarding, juvenile partying, etc. If the security lights are turned off
overnight, this might make the area attractive to criminals seeking access to the building
and adjacent homes under the cover of darkness, and quick, easy egress from the parking
lot after committing their crimes. Moreover, the building itselfwould serve as a visual
barrier, hiding 1he parking lot from many angles and enable illegal or unauthorized activity
to occur undetected.
1& We have lived in this property for ten years this month and, in that period of time, we have
seen less than 10 people on that lot. All were affiliated with the property in some way or
another, including the surveyors for this project. What was planned to be a private place,
and what has been a private place, could now become a very public place. The homeowners
who abut the property have always felt very safe and many did not have window coverings
facing east. If you approve this variance, these homeowners would lose this feeling of
being safe. .
III People have purposefully chosen the lots abutting the property at 2640 W. 96th Street
because of the heavy tree line and resultant privacy. One of the homes abutting the property
is presently for sale. There is no doubt that any home will be more difficult to sell in 1he
future with tbe proposed development and diminished lack of privacy. Not only will these
homes be harder to sell, they will be devalued. Furthermore, the domino effect will devalue
other homes in Shelborne Greene neighborhood.
· The swale at the back of our properties ends in our lot at the drain that connects the run off
to the street sewer. Following heavy rains, the swale has on occasion fLUed. Because of the
slope of the property from the common area to the swale, we bave a major concern of run
off water from the proposed new facility, especially from the parking lot, which is very
close to the StOITIl drain. We are very concerned about water damage to the foundation of
our home if the swaLe should flood due to the additional run off.

III Finally, other concerns are light pollution from the new facility and parking lot; pedestrian
traffic along 96lb Street on the Sabbath - unsafe for them and automobiles; and the rumors
that a day care program may be instituted in the future.
We thank you for your consideration of our concerns and urge you to deny the Special Use
Application for the property located at 2640 W. 96th Street, Indianapolis. We don't believe that
the 18 adjacent homeowners, and other as well, in Shelbome Greene should have to suffer
because Lubavitch of Indiana purchased property that was only zoned for private residential use
and was too narrow for his proposed new facility. .

Prepared for October 22, 2007 Public Hearing by Steve Hantz
Docket No. 07070012 SU (Special Use)
Lubavitch ofIndiana proposed worship center variance
This letter is in opposition to the special use variance requested by Lubavitch of Indiana. My wife, son, daughter
and I Jive at 9605 Cypress Way in Carmel, immediately adjacent to the Lubavitch property.
As was the case when this proposal was first rejected by the BZA in 2006, my main arguments in opposition to the
special use variance are based on the last section of the Application for Special Use Approval Request entitled
Findings of Fact. I have provided board members with a portion of the minutes from the BZA meeting held on
October 23rd, 2006, highlighting my arguments. In that meeting I addressed 5 of the 6 requirements listed in the
Findings of Fact section of the application required from Lubavitch by the BZA. This newest proposal by Lubovitch
still fails to meet any of these requirements. Rather than repeat my concerns voiced in the previous meeting, I would
instead like to address the remaining point point #4, which requires the following:
"The special use will not injuriously or adversely affect the adequacy and availability of water, sewage and
storm drainage facilities and police and fire protection."
We now have a police officer living in our neighborhood that I believe is planning to address police protection
concerns. My latest concern focuses on the storm drainage facilities. With 21,500 sq. ft. of proposed paving area,
storm water run-off becomes a major problem, further taxing an already inadequate drainage situation.
Our basement has flooded several times. A temporary stream forms along the eastern property line of ShelboW11e
Greene, which includes our backyard, after every rainstorm. The standing water remains for days after the rain has
ended. Without an additional drainage system or retention pond on the Lubavitch property, the flooding in this area
would increase to an unacceptable leveL
I believe the Lubavitch property should retain its current zoning, as not one of the six requirements listed under
the Findings of Fact section of the Special Use Approval Request have been met. Although it is regrettable that
the property was purchased with the assumption that the zoning could be easily changed, it is my hope that the
land will be used as intended by the original wning and by the requirements of the Board of Zoning Appeals.
Thank you for your time and consideration.

Robert McLaughlin, 9649 Cypress Way, adjacent to the parcel. He appreciated the neighborhood
meeting \\lith the Rabbi and bis urchiteds and attorney on September 12. It was informative. but at the
end the conccrns some of the neighbors had at the beginning still remained. One of his greatest
concerns was the lack of a master plan for the north portion of the parcel. They have been told verbally
that there were no plans and it was not part of the project. Yet it was part of the property and it needed
consideration. It was relevant to the neighbors. It raised a significant concern over lhe economic
impact in the future. He did not have any concern with the Special Use and hoped they could find a
suitable location. I lis main concern was with the lot width variance. The) were told at the September
I ih meeting that there was no real awareness Ibatthe 101 width wus a particular concern. Yet he has
since learned there was dialogue between Lub<lvitch and College Park to discuss the use of property to
the east of l.uhavitch in order to accommodate their planned construction, He thought it was
unfortunate they had purchased property that was not suitable for their intended use. This project does
not encroach upon the legul setbacks that were imposed; however. it certainly is a tighter fit than
anyone \vould want. He \\'as surprised that Lub,n'itch bought this property. knowing what they needed
to do, when there is an abundance of property available. They were led to believe thaI it was the ready
availability (Ind the price of the land that were good. In listening 10 Mr. Coots and learning that the gate
would not be benelicial t~'r law enforcement. it was contrary to \-\'hatthey had discussed in terms of the
lighting, They \vere concerned there would be substantial light pollution ti'0l1l the parking lot area.
They were told if there was going to be expansion: it would be additional parking to the north.
requiring more lighting. Now the lighting will not be on timer. but be dusk to dawn lighting fm
security. He felt that was not a realistic thing to ask the neighbors to do. There were some other
environmental concerns. While Mr. Coots showed photos oCthe dense foliage between the properties
that is not true all year.

New Facility Proposal
Christine,
I am writing to you to express our opinion against the attempts of Lubavitch to construct
a religious facility behind our property. while it being a religious facility doesn't
concern me at all, it is just the fact that there will be the construction noise to deal
wit.h then the possible noise and/light pollution that may resul.t from the building being
there. Not to mention that having the facility behind our property might mean that anyone
(those who don't use the facility) can drive back in the parking lot of the facility and
do who knows what.
My wife has health problems and cannot work and one of the results of her condition is
that her sleeping patterns are thrown off and getting to sleep can be difficult, so she is
often trying to sleep during the daylight hours. Noise from the construction could very
well interfere with her trying to sleep. To add to her difficulties is the fact that her
daughter passed away last month so she does not need any other stress to have to deal
with.
We vote to disallow the facility to be constructed. Thank you!

Subject: Objection to docket 07070012 SU Lubavitch of Indiana
To whom it may concern,
I would like to express my objection to the special use described in docket # 07070012. As a home owner in the
area, 1 have to object to this request. I purchased my home 4 years ago with the knowledge that the undeveloped
land adjacent to the complex which I now call home was zoned for residential use. Given the size of the land I
assumed there was no way that I would ever be faced with having a non-residential neighbor. Unfortunately this is
what I am now faced with. My objections are based on the follow:
1) The impact the facility will have on my home's value. I understand that someone could have built a home on
this lot and could have removed all the tress and other landscaping that now fills this lot, but I do not think that
such a person would have a 35 car parking lot and a dumpster enclosure in their back yard. There is no question
that this facility will have a negative impact on the home values in the area.
2) The impact the facility will have on the noise level in the area. It is bad enough that we have to deal with the
occasional 8:00 AM Sunday morning music that comes from the church on the other side of this lot, and the
fireworks and other celebration noise that comes from the estates just north 01 this lot. Adding a new facility that
will add more noise is just asking too much of the current residents of Shelbarne Green. This is a quiet area and
we want it to stay that way.
3) The possible crime related issues that could arise from having this facility located deep into our neighborhood. I
would hope that this facility would only attract reputable people, but there is a possibility that people with
questionable intentions could enter homes via this new facility. The parking lot, which is out of site from the main
road, will be less than one hundred feet from six homes. This would give easy, concealed access to burglars,
rapist, kidnapers, child molesters, and others to homes that are now mostly inaccessible except via their main
entrances. Although crime is not an issue in the area, this facility could bring crime to us.
Due to these issues I must ask you to reject the Lubavitch of Indiana's request for special use on this land. I will
not be able to attend the board meeting on 10/22/2007 to discuss this issue in person, but please consider this e-
mail my final opinion on the subject If any clarification is needed, please feel free to contact me.

To whom it concerns,
My wife and I just purchased our first home. We spent our time, looking at all options
and weighing all factors in deciding where to move to and what to buy. It didn't take
us long to decide to move out of Marion County into Hamilton County. And although
the house we purchased is not the nicest or most expensive house in Hamilton County,
it is a dream come true for us and a definite statement to our success so far in life. But
we were educated on an issue that is very relevant to our investment in Hamilton
County and our future, and we wanted to make sure that our voices were heard in the
matter,
The property that we purchased is in Shelborne Greene. Our property backs up to what
is currently undeveloped land. It is our understanding that College Park Baptist Church
has purchased this land on 96th Street near their existing campus with the intent of
building a new facility. While both my wife and I support the development of organized
religion, we feel that this lot is not the place for College Park Baptist Church to expand
their already-sprawling campus,
It is also our understanding that there are two variances that are needed to allow this
project to move forward. One is the assignment of a special use variance to allow
Religious use of Residentially-zoned property. The second is a variance based on the
width of the lot in relation to the type of construction proposed. With this in mind, we
think it is very important that it be remembered that College Park Baptist Church carries
the burden of proof that this development will not impact our investment, nor anyone
else that is in the same situation as us. We feel, however, that there would be a
tremendous impact to our investment.
We are very concerned with the safety and security aspects of this plan, When we look
at the proposed site plan, we see a secluded lot perfect for illegal activity. We see a
private driveway that parallels the rear of 13 moderately priced homes. We see the
potential for noise and sound pollution. We see an eye-sore in our back yard where
beautiful trees and animals now roam, And we see the value of our property dropping,
There has been much criticism of Carmel in the past for their stance on annexation. This
is the opportunity to prove to all of the opponents one of the values of the annexation.
Thank you for allowing our voices to be heard.
Sincerely,
Sean and Elizabeth Cheesman

We are writing as concerned residents of Shelborne Greene in regards to the Special Use
Application filed by Lubavitch of Indiana 10 be heard on October 22,2007 (Docket No.
07070012 SU).
My husband and I purchased our home (3487 Inverness BI vd, Lot 310) on October 1,2007 which
is immediately behind the proposed building site. One of our main reasons for purchasing the
home and leaving our previous residence in Marion County was for the private and quite
backyard the home provided. Our understanding was the area directly behind our home could
only be used for a single family dwelling due to the minimal width of the land. With this
understanding, we purchased the home this month. With the proposed variance submitted by
Lubavitch of Indiana, we have the following reasons for opposition along with many other
concerned residents of Shelborne Greene:
.
Proximity of proposed facility to adjacent homes in Shelborne Greene. No longer could
residents enjoy their backyards without seeing parking lots, buildings and/or roads.
The proposed construction would reduce/eli minate privacy for many Shelborne Greene
residents due to the removal of much of the existing and established vegetation. Addition
of new vegetation would take decades to return to the current height and density.
Elimination of natural animal habitat.
Potential far an increase in crime due to the proposed secluded parking lot.
Reduction of property values in Shelbarne Greene and surrounding areas.
Elimination of natural drainage provided to the backyards of many Shelborne Greene
residents after changes inland elevation.
Increased noise both during the day and at night from people and vehicles.
Increased lighting at night from car lights, parking lot lights and security lights.
Increased traffic flow onto 96th street.
.
.
.
.
.

.
.
Please know that weare opposed to any facility construction behind our home, excluding a single
family dwelling which would provide both parties reasonable separation distance. As new tax
paying citizens of Carmel, we hope you understand our concerns and continue to maintain the
zoning standards previously set forth in this area. We hope to be able to enjoy the privacy of our
backyard for many years to come with our newborn SOil.

Subject: Docket # 07070012 SU
Lubavich ofTndiana proposed worship center variance
This letter is my fonnal opposition to the variance requested by Lubavich of Indiana. My wife and I live in
the Shelborne Green subdivision immediately/o the property in question. We oppose the petitioner's
request for the following reasons: AW~r'
I. We do not believe the property purchased by Lubavich of Indiana is adequately suited for its
intended purpose. This issue arose during the first petition (2006), and to our knowledge that
concern has not been addressed. The amendments referenced by Lubavich's attorney, Coots
Henke & Wheeler, in their letter dated September 24 does not address this concern.
2. The physical dimensions of the property would force construction, vehicular traffic patterns and
parking in unacceptable proximity to neighboring home owners. The previous petition failed to
adequately address this issue as well.
3. We are concerned that development of anything other than a single family residence would
negatively impact the environment. Removal oftress and natural foliage would substantially
devalue adjacent residential properties and remove a natural habitat for local wildlife.
4. Any reduction in residential property values would be especially harmful given the current
housing market.
5. It is not reasonable to expect neighboring property owners to support this variance in the absence
ofa fully disclosed master site plan. This issue was not addressed during the previous petition and
should not be allowed to go forward unless and until a master site plan is fully disclosed.
6. We are concerned about increased vehicular and pedestrian traffic in the Shclborne Green
neighborhood during times when children and families are most likely to be present. Our
neighborhood is not designed to accommodate non-residential traffic.
7. Safety is another concern due to the potential unattended parking areas becoming used by those
who wish to avoid public view. Risks include vandalism, burglary and other criminal activity
against local property owners, not to mention the proposed worship center and occupants.
Neighborhood watch enorts would be ineffective due to sporadic and unfamiliar traffic.
We appreciate the opportunity to voice opposition and trust that the Board of Zoning Appeals will carefully
consider our concerns. Residents of Carmel rely on local authorities to protect our interests and enhance the
community.
