The Honorable Jim Blanchard
City of Carmel
One Civic Square
Carmel, IN 46032
Dear Commissioner Blanchard,
I am writing for information regarding a zoning situation that is of concem to me, and
many of my neighbors here in the Woodland Springs sub division. We are fairly certain
that a for profit commercial business is being operated out of a recently sold property,
specifically 3529 Brian Place. The deed in&rmation with Hamilton County indicates
ownership as ORP Real Estate Holdings, LLC, of Dousman, Wisconsin.
Through some inquires by others on our block, I believe that this was done with city
approval, or otherwise sanctioned by the City of Carmel, However, we also have found
that this would be in violation of both city occupancy ordinance, and Woodland Springs,
Inc., association occupancy regulations.
Can you please provide information on a.) how this approval came about, b.) when public
notice was givens regarding the usage variance granted this holding company, and c.)
when was the ordinance waiver granted?
This request is not just to please our interests; we have concerns regarding high morning
and afternoon automobile traffic, the large number of vehicles parked at this location at
any one time, and the adverse affects this may have on our property values.

these concerns at your earliest convenience.

Subject: RE: Group home
Adrienne -
The pertinent provisions of our ordinance are found in the following definitions:
DWELLING, MULTIPLE-FAMILY. A residential Building containing three (3) or more Dwelling Units and
occupied by three (3) or more families. Except as otherwise provided by state statute, a Group Home shall
not be considered a Multiple-Family Dwelling and treated as such under this Ordinance.
DWELLING, SINGLE-FAMILY. A residential Building containing only one (1) Dwelling Unit and not occupied
by more than one (1) Family. Pursuant to IC 12-28-4-7, a Group Home for the mentally ill shall be treated
as if it were a Single-family Dwelling, unless the Group Home will be located within three thousand
(3,000) feet of another Group Home for the mentally ill, as measured between lot lines. Pursuant to IC 12-
284-8, a Group Home for not more than ten (10) developmentally disabled individuals which is
established under a program authorized by IC 12-1 1-1.1-11(e)(1) or IC 12-11-1.1-I(e)(2) shall be treated as
if it were a Single-family Dwelling.
FAMILY. One or more persons living as a single housekeeping unit, as distinguished from a group occupying a
hotel, club, nursing home, fraternity or sorority house, or Group Home.
HOME, GROUP. Any of the following:
1. a residential. Structure (licensed under IC 12-17.4) in which care is provided on a twenty-four (24) hour
basis for not more than ten (10) children; or
2. a facility (licensed under IC 12-28-4) that provides residential services for developmentally disabled
individuals in a program described in IC 12-11-1.1-1(e)(1) or IC 12-11-1.1-1(e)(2); or
3. a facility (licensed under IC 12-28-4) that provides residential services for mentally ill individuals in a
program described in IC 12-22-2-3.
We need to find out, either directly from the owner or from the State, whether the home at 3529 Brian Place is
licensed under either IC 12-17.4 or IC 12-28-4. If it is, our hands are probably tied because of the state statutes
(not Federal) that preempt any local review or regulation of these facilities.
Mr. Gibson states in his e-mail that this operation was condoned and approved by the City Council without
knowledge of the Woodland Springs neighborhood. He has the wrong end of the stick. When the Council passed
the above definitions (in the year 2000), it intended to pass the strictest ordinance that a city could pass to restrict
these types of operations. If he is looking for a villain in this picture, it is the state legislature, which has
preempted local regulation on this topic now for almost 20 years.
By the way, there is a bad error in the text of the definition of Multiple-Family Dwelling, and I don't know how h
could have occurred. (My original draft of the ordinance from February 2000 is correct!) The word "not" does not
belong in the definition - the phrase should read, "a Group Home shall be considered a Multiple-Family Dwelling
and treated as such under this Ordinance." The point is this - we do not want them to be treated as Single-Family
Dwellings unless state law forces that result.

Check with John Molitor and see if they have a federal exemption from our zoning rules-I believe they
will claim that andlet's have him evaluate what our options are.

Mayor,
I've searched our Plan Commission and BZA databases and find no action (approval or denials) on
that address. If the City Council took action, it certainly wasn't a rezoning. I also asked around the
office, and found that Kevin Brennan has also been researching this and speaking to neighbors
this week.
I've not read the finer points (lately) of the Code which preempts municipalities from enforcing
zoning on group homes, but enforcement of private covenants might be an easier angle for the
association to try.

Dear Mayor Jim,
It is with some concern that I write to inform you of a'group home' that recently was
established in Woodland Springs in violation of the by laws of the Woodland Springs
Association. Specifically this home is at 3529 Brian Place and caters to
emotionally/mentally handicapped young adults, from what has been told to a few of the
neighbors. It is a commercial operation. I cannot speak to this first hand, but I trust the
reporters.
Our bylaws state, in part, "No structure shall be erected... other than a single family
dwelling." and further "No hotel, boarding house ...of any kind for commercial use shall be
erected or maintained on any lot herein."
Why do I bring this to your attention? Because we are also advised this operation was
condoned and approved by the Carmel City Council without knowledge of or consultation
with Woodland Springs officers or members. No hearings were held or opportunities given
for remonstrators to speak.
Needless to say there are concerns among the neighbors that this was allowed to happen.
Left to our own actions we would probably take legal action to quash the operation. But if
the Council is involved, then the matter gets more complicated.
Speaking for myself, I would appreciate your looking into this and giving me your opinion
and advice.
Thank you. Richard K. Gibson 3817 Dona Ct. 46033 rkirkgib@s_bcglobal.net

Incident Narrative - C Wiegman
On June 30th 2007 at approximately 5:09pm I was dispatched to 11311 Lakeshore drive East to speak with a
complainant in reference to a group home that is next door to his residence. Upon arrival I came into contact
with the complainant, Wade D. Cook DOB 01/24,11961.
Mr. Cook stated that approximately 4:45pm to 5:00pm he was in his driveway and his wife had just gotten
home. He stated that he was talking with his wife and he turned around and a black male approximately 16 to
17 years old was walking into his garage. He stated that he said something to the black male and he stopped.
Mr. Cook stated that at that time he realized that it was one of the mentally challenged kids that lives in the
group home located next door at 3529 Bryan Place. Mr. Cook stated that he then walked the kid back to the
group home and rang the door bell. He stated that a black female by the name of Katrice answered the door.
According to Mr. Cook, Katrice is an employee of the group home and stated to Mr. Cook that the mentally
Incident Report
challenged male got out of the yard. Mr. Cook was concerned due to Ms. Kilbert not being very concerned that
the male had left and also Ms. Kilbert or other employees not looking for him.
Mr. Cook stated that since the group home moved in April he has had many problems with it. He stated that
approximately six weeks ago his wife was in their backyard that backs up to the group homes back yard. He
stated that his wife heard a lot of yelling like there was a fight so she looked over the fence from their deck.
According to Mr. Cook she saw two of the mentally challenged kids that live their fighting in the back yard and
nobody stopping them. One of the kids saw her looking at them and then stopped. Mrs. Cook then heard one of
the employees yell at one of the kids to pull his pants up. At that time Mrs. Cook looked back and one of the
kids was up against the fence with his pants down. Mr. Cook was very disturbed over this incident due to him
having a nine year old daughter.
After I spoke to Mr. Cook I went to the address of 3529 Bryan Place and came into contact with Katrice L.
Kilbert DOB 10%18/1980. Ms. Kilbert was the on-duty supervisor at the time. I explained to Ms. Kilbert why I
was over there and asked to speak with her supervisor. She stated that her supervisor's name was Jeff and she
would not give me his phone number. I asked her why she wouldn't give me his phone number and she stated
she didn't think it was right to give his phone number out to people. I then asked her who ran the group home.
She stated that it was run by the Indiana Developmental Training Center. I asked dispatch to find an address and
phone number of that and I called them later to get the name of the managers.
I asked for other phone number from Ms. Kilbert and she went inside the group home to get them. While she
was inside one of the mentally challenged kids living there opened the door and stood at the door with it open
for approximately 10 seconds. The alarm on the door was going off and no other staff came to check to see why
the alarm was going off. Finally approximately another 10 seconds later another employee came to the door and
grabbed the mentally challenged male who had opened the door. According to Ms. Kilbert there are 7 teenage
boys who live there with severe autism and severe mental retardation. My concern is that there is a large lake
approximately 200-300 yards from the group home and the employees are not watching the residents to where
they could walk away without them knowing.
