If you have any questions, please give me a call at 571-2417. Docket No. 08030001 OA: Qualifying Subdivision Exemptions Amendment, Part n The applicant seeks to Amend the Subdivision Control Ordinance, Chapter 7:0pen Space RequirementsJor Major Subdivisions, in order to delete exemptions from the lot area and lot standards in qualifying subdivisions consistent with Council Ordinance Z-508-07. Filed by the Carmel Department of Community Services on behalf of the Carmel Plan Commission. Last fall the Plan Commission unanimously recommended and the Carmel City Council adopted Z-508-07, which eliminated the exemptions from the minimum lot area and setback requirements for lots in Qualifying Subdivisions (ROSO). It has come to the Department's attention that there is a corresponding section in the Subdivision Control Ordinance which should also have been deleted; it reads as follows: 7.00.01 Major Subdivisions with community water and community sewer that meets the Standard Open Space Requirement (SOSR) set forth in Section 7.01 shall be exempt from the area, yard, width, and coverage standards set forth in Sections 5.04.02, 5.04.03, 6.04.02, 6.04.03, 7.04.02, 7.04.03, 8.04.02, 8.04.03, 9.04.02, 9.04.03, 10.05.02, and 10.05.03 of the Zoning Ordinance, however, the minimum distance between dwellings shall be six (6) feet.
