The need for the variance arises from a natural condition peculiar to the subject because:
Options Charte'r School.is considered a conversion charter school. A'
conversion charter school "means a charter school established under
I.C. 20-5.5-11 by the conversion of an existing school into a charter'
school. Carmel Clay Schools and Charter Options School have entered (see attachment
The granting of this variance does not substantially interfere with the Carmel/Clay Comprehensive Plan
because:
Similar schools have existed and currently still exist in the area.

question from January of 1998 until June of 2002. Moreover, the Matrix School was not
the only school in the area. Academy Plus is a private school currently located at 488
Gradle Drive.

into an agreement whereby the Matrix School would be converted into the Charter
Options School. In order for Charter Options School to open in time for the next school
year, the school must be located at the same facility previously used by Carmel Clay
Schools. If the requested variance is not allowed, then Charter Option Schools will not
open and numerous students previously served by an alternative education, as well as
numerous others in need of an alternative education, will suffer.

7. The applicant seeks a use variance, which would allow the applicant to operate
a charter school at 340 Ridge Point Drive. A charter school is an alternative school
which is designed, pursuant to I.C. ~20-5.5-2-1, "to provide innovative and
autonomous programs to do the following:
(a) serve the different learning styles and needs of public school
students;
(b) offer public school students appropriate and innovative
choices;
(c) afford varied opportunities for professional educators;
(d) allow public schools freedom and flexibility in exchange for
exceptional levels of accountability; and
( e) provide parents, students, community members, and local
entities with an expanded opportunity for involvement in the
public school system."
Options Charter School is planning to hold classes on property that is currently zoned
1-1 and does not recognize a school as a permitted or special use under Section 10-45
of the Carmel Code of Ordinances. Section 10-134, however, states that the Board of
Zoning Appeals may authorize a variance from the Zoning Code when such a
variance would not be contrary to the public interest, when a literal enforcement of
the provisions of the ordinances would result in unnecessary hardship.
The applicant is requesting that it be allowed to use a total of6,300 square feet for
a charter school created in accordance with I.C. 920-5.5 et seq. This area would
consist of two separate areas identified as 340 Ridge Point Drive (3,300 sq. feet) and
1054 Summit Drive (3,000 sq. feet). The fonner address was used by Carmel Clay
Schools as its Matrix School until June of2002. The latter address is an adjacent
unit. Charter Options School is planning to connect the two units by the installation
ofa door on the adjoining wall of the two units. The only other construction which
would need be completed in the new section would include: the installation of
carpet, drywall and a ceiling in one class room; the installation of a wall around the
furnace; and the installation of windows in lieu of existing garage doors. The
applicant has attached site maps, zoning maps, and construction plans, which are
attached as Exhibits D-l through D-4, to better illustrate the area and proposed
construction.
Options Charter School does not believe that Qarking will be an issue at this
location. The school will not exceed 125 students between the grades of nine through
twelve (9-12). Consequently, it is believed only a fraction of these students will need
parking while attending school. When the Matrix School was in operation, which had
an enrollment of fifty-five between grades ten through twelve (10-12), it is believed
that approximately only fifteen students drove their vehicles to school. While the
student enrollment will increase with the opening of the Options Charter School, this
increase will be mainly due to the addition of ninth grade students who will not be of
driving age. Therefore, it is believed that the approximately thirty-five (35) spaces
which the landlord is willing to commit to the school would accommodate the
parking of the school's students and nine employees. In the event a parking issue
does arise, however, Options Charter School is willing to shuttle students from a
Carmel Clay School parking lot. No other plans exist, however, to bus students to the
school as it will be the parents' responsibility to transport the students.

8. In support of its request for the Use Variance, the applicant would advise that
Option Charter Schools would neither be contrary to the public interest nor injurious
to the public health, safety, morals and general welfare of the community in that the
school would provide education for students of City residents. Moreover, the
applicant would advise that Charter Option Schools would suffer unnecessary
hardship in that the school will close before even opening if the variance is not
allowed. This would create an unnecessary hardship on not only the school hut also
on the students who are in need of alternative schooling in order to obtain their
education and become productive members of the community.
The applicant would further state that value of the area adjacent to the subject
property would not be substantially affected in any adverse manner because Charter
Option Schools is seeking to operate its school on the same premises which was
previously leased by Carmel Clay Schools for its Matrix SchooL The Matrix School
was an alternative school, similar to the proposed Options Charter School, which
operated at the location in question from January of 1998 until June of 2002.
Moreover, the Matrix School was not the only school in the area. Academy Plus is a
private school currently located at 488 Gradle Drive. Lastly, the landlord is agreeable
to the requested variance. Consequently, it is not believe that the proposed variance
would have any impact on property values.
The applicant would further advise that the need for the requested variance arises
in that Charter Options School is considered a conversion charter schooL A
conversion charter school "means a charter school established under Le. 20-5.5-11 by
the conversion of an existing school into a charter schooL Carmel Clay Schools and
Charter Options School have entered into an agreement whereby the Matrix School
would be converted into the Charter Options SchooL In order for Charter Options
School to open in time for the next schooL year, the school must be Located at the
same facility previously used by Cannel Clay Schools. If the requested variance is
not allowed, then Charter Option Schools will not open and numerous students
previously served by an aLternative education, as well as numerous others in need of
an alternative education, will suffer.
The applicant further states that the granting of this variance would not
substantially interfere with the CarmeVClay Comprehensive Plan because similar
schools have existed and currently still exist in the area_
