RE: Proposal for a Home Occupation at 3309 E. 146'h Street
Ms. Marcotte:
ThlS letter is being written in response to your email dated Wednesday, July 27, 2005. Based upon
the proposal you provided in this email, a home occupation could be feasible provided you maintain
adherence to the standards outlined in Section 25.18 of the Cannel/Clay Zoning Ordinance and City
Code (see attached) and to the following additional commitments, "vhich were included in your
email:
I.) The property at 3309 E. 146th Street "would be utilized for visiting clients' only.
Appomtments would be scheduled on an hourly basis for a designated period oftime; ie, not
beion: 8:00 a.m. or after 5:00 p.m. Appointments would only be scheduled during a morning
block, or an afternoon block on a given day. In other worus, appointments would be e tither
from 9:00 a.m. until 1:00 p.m, or 1 :00 p.m. until 5:00 p.m. Appointments would average
30-45 minutes pel' client."
2.) "The main occupation will operate out of the existing office at 20811 Hague Road,
Noblesvllle, IN 46062. This will ensure a limitation of clients seen per day. Any procedures
requiring in-patient services will also be conducted at this location only. This will ensure
appomtments will be on an out-patient ONLY basis and, therefore, no animals will remam
on the premises."
Please be advised that in the operation of a home occupation it is your responsibility, as the property
owner, to estahlish and maintain compliance to the ordinances at all times. Please feel free to call
me at (317) 571-2417 should you have any turther questions.

C ARMELlC LA Y BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS
CARMEL, INDIANA
Docket No.:
Petitioner:
FINDINGS OF FACT -USE VARIANCE
1. The grant of this variance will not be contrary to the public interest, due to the
existence of special condition(s) such that enforcement of the zoning ordinance will
result in unnecessary hardship because: the drastic changes along the 146th St corridor
have caused the value of the home to depreciate by an estimated $50,000 since 2003. The
property was purchased in June 2003 for $149,900. Since then, the current owners (Eric
and Mary Marcotte) have invested over $15,000 in updates and repairs. Based upon
current market value, the resale value as a residence is approximated at a mere $120,000
(per conversations with Craig Kaiser of Kaiser Realty.) The reason for this depreciation is
the undesirability of living in a home with conunercial entities in close proximately (the
property immediately ea<;t is owned by Cannel Hope Fellowship and the property to the
north is being developed by Bridgewater) in addition to the dramatic increase in traffic
flow along this road.
If the current building were to be torn down (costing the current owner $20,000) for the
purpose of selling the lotalolle for a single residence, the property value would only
approximate $50,000. (Net loss to owner $135,000) The reason for this is because the
Hamilton County Highway Department will take 552 square feet (85feet from the center
line is required per Dave Lucas from Hamilton County Highway Department. The
measurement from the centerline to the south edge of sidewalk = 40 feet. This means that
45 feet ofthe current property will be taken as right-of-way {45x138= 552 square feet}
without compensation to current owner if the house is torn down. If a builder were to
purchase this lot, they would be unable to meet the standards ofCanneI (set-back
requirements), covenants and restrictions of Taylor Trace (size of home), and keep within
the requirements of Hamilton County Highway Department, thus making use of the land
virtually impossible.
In summary, the current zoning of this property (RI) is no longer appropriate due to the
changes of the property's surroundings. This will inevitably cause an mmecessary
hardship on the property's current owners.
2. The grant of this variance will not be injurious to the public health, safety, morals
and general welfare of the Community because: a doctor's office is a very positive
contribution to any community. As a veterinary office, the property will be used to
provide a service to keep animals within the community healthy, and therefore decrease
the potential for animal-human disease transmission. In 2007 alone, the applicant has
been a professional witness and provided necessary evidence for the prosecution in 4
animal abuse/cruelty cases. These efforts have improved the safety, public health, moral
and general welfare of the entire community of Hamilton County.
3. The use or value of the area adjacent to the subject property will not be
substantiaUy affected in any adverse manner because: the property will remain
residential in character and the proposed structural and cosmetic improvements will add
to the aesthetic appeal of the Taylor Trace Subdivision. The exterior changes are a
positive addition to the subdivision (see photo). The applicant's professionaJ corporation
can invest a substantial amount of finances into the overall improvement of the property's
appearance whereas the current owners, as a single family, can only provide the
necessary property upkeep. The improvements of the property include, but are not limited
to: new roofing, superior grounds keeping and maintenance, the addition of trees, shrubs
and paving (as illustrated in Photo). The subdivision will benefit from the markedly
improved exterior appearance of this property. The adjacent property owners wi\] not be
adversely affected because the operation of the applicant's business is comparable with
regards to degree of traffic, noise, and daily exchanges than a single family residence.
4. The need for the variance arises from a natural condition peculiar to the subject
property because: The property was zoned a'l Rl when 146th street was a two lane
minimally trafficked street. Today this corridor is 4 lanes wide and the home sits at the
corner of a major intersection directly across from what will be a gasoline station. The
cmrent location of the house is impractical for residential use due to the proximity to this
major thoroughfare (the front of the house is 19 feet from 146th St - see Photo 1 taken
from front door.) Although it is true that there are multiple subdivisions closely abutting
the street, it must be noted that these subdivisions were built PRIOR to the roads'
expansion, resulting in the purchase of the right-of-way up to the enclosing privacy
fences of these subdivisions by the Hamilton County Highway Dept (per conversation
with Dave Lucas on December 13, 2007) The property in question was not included in a
similar purchase. The right-of-way abuts the last step of the front door (See figure 1)
which prohibits the building of a privacy fence and/or landscaping in the front yard. Such
changes could buffer the road noise, create privacy, and provide safety for children and
pets. Without these important features, the home is not only unappealing for housing, but
also quite dangerous for a single family with children. It is impossible to create a barrier
to protect a child from running out into the street (The current speed limit is 45mph. In
April of 2005, the owner's dog was killed instantly after running into the road despite
precautions of reasonable restraint)
5. The granting of this variance does not substantially interfere with the
Carmel/Clay Comprebensive Plan because:
I. The property is in close proximity to a zoned regional employment area. It
is stated in the Comprehensive Plan 1.1.2, "Transitions in scale and
density should occur between residential communities and
community/regional employment areas to facilitate maintenance of
neighborhood stability. In areas where zoning changes are requested, such
transition shall be encouraged and considered as part of the approval
process. "
II. The property will remain residential in character. It is stated in the
Comprehensive Plan 1.1.1. "Commercial development within residential
communities generally should occur only when the intensity and scale is
compatible with the surrounding residential uses." As stated previously,
the applicant's business is no different in traffic, noise, or daily exchanges
as a single family residence. (See detailed business operation)
III. Under the neighborhood-serving community policies, it is stated,
"Neighborhood serving office and retail should be located in residential
In an email sent on 2/12/08, David Lucas of the Hamilton County Highway
Department wrote:
Mary,
I was aware of the letter from Steve and his comments. That letter was written almost 5
years ago and conditions have changed. For example: in '02 the ADT (average daily
traffic) for that segment \vas 17,000 and in '06 the ADT was just under 30,000. Without
going into great detail, that is probably the biggest reason for closing the median.

After discussing your request, and the changes that have occurred in the surrounding area since
your last variance petitions, we've decided we can make a positive recommendation. We are
asking for one condition, though~that signs be kept to a minimum or not used at al/, beyond the
3 sq ft door sign permitted for home occupations The decision is ultimately up to the Board of
Zoning Appeals, of course.

Support by Taylor Trace Subdivision
The following is from the Homeowners' Association Meeting minutes for Taylor Tmce
Subdivision on February 5, 2008. The main concerns of the surrounding neighbors have
been addressed in the following manner:
1. Dr. Marcotte has agreed to exclude kenneling of animals to reduce the risk of
excessive noise by barking dogs.
2. The amendment in the covenants and restrictions states that the owner is not
permitted to seek are-zone of the property. (Homeowners are in favor of the
veterinary clinic proposal, but fear the use by a future homeowner should Dr.
Marcotte decide to sell the property)
3. All medical waste is placed in sealed containers and is picked up via a special
service and will not be disposed by regular trash removal.
Taylor Trace consists of 12 lots. Ten of the 12 homeowners are in favor ofthis use
variance. One is opposed and one has not made contact with Dr. Marcotte or the
association. The two lots most affected by this variance are in favor (lots 11 and 10
abutting the property).
TAYLOR TRACE HOMEOWNERS' ASSOCIATION
MINUTES OF MEETING ON FEBRUARY 5,2008
A meeting of the Taylor Trace Homeowners' Association, Inc. (the "Association") was held at the home of
David and Mona Lambdin, 14566 Taylor Trace Drive on February 5,2008 at 6:30pm. The meeting was
called in the manner prescribed by the Association's covenant and notice was duly and timely given to
each lot owner in the Association.
The following lot owners were present:
Bob Barnes (lots I & 4) Jason Risser (lot 8) Steve Snaver (lot 5)
Mary Marcotte (lot 12) David and Mona Lambdin (lot 10)
Eric Wulfand Joung Kim (lot 6)
The meeting was called 10 order by Bob Barnes, President of the Association. who conducted the meeting.
Lut 12 Proposal for VeterinarY Clinic
Mary Marcotte summarized her proposal to continue practicing out of the house on Lol 12 without it being
her primary residence.
David Lambdin expressed concerns with the following issues:
1. Danger of tile pool if the house is not lived in
2. Concern for noise pollution of barking dogs
3. Concern for future use of the house should the current owner wish to sell
4. Concern for the disposal of medical waste
L Pool
The danger of the pool was discussed by the group and it was stated to be no more of a danger if the house
is utilized for a business verses the current situation oFbeing un-occupied.
2. Noise
Mary Marcotte explained that there will be no kenneling of dogs. Eric Wulf asked about patients staying
over-night for post op care. Mary Marcotte explained that the only overnight procedure is a feline de-claw
and that all other procedures are out-patient.
3. Future Use of House
Mary Marcotte eXplained that she is applying for a use variance and that this means the property will revert
back to R I classification if the lot is sold. Steve Snaver asked if she foresees keeping this property as her
pcrmanent clinic. Mary Marcotte responded that her intentions are to stay at this location for the duration of
her career.
4. Medical waste and Bio-hazardous material
Mary Marcotte explained that she utilizes a service that picks up all hazardous material on an as needed
basis (average 4 times per year). All medical waste is placed in separate sealed containers.
Steve Snaver asked Mary Marcotte if she has altemative plans for the property. Mary Marcotte explained
that she is not able to absorb the loss of value if sold as a residence. She said that the neighboring church.
Carmel Hope Fellowship, has expressed intcrest in purchasing the property. but they do not know when the
Funds would be available for this. The alternative of renting the property was discussed by the group and all
parties agreed that they would rather see it utilized for the proposed LIse as a veterinary clinic instead of
being used as a rental. Mona and David Lambdin stated that they would be happy with the church owning
the property. Steve Snaver stated that he would rather see it utilized as the small proposed veterinary clinic
above all other options.
Bob Barnes made a motion to vote on Mary Marcotte's proposal and the motion was seconded by Mona
Lambdin. The motion passed unanimously. (David and Kelly Coradini voted in favor by proxy via written
notification to Mary Marcotte & Rich Locke voted in favor hy proxy via verbal notification to Bob Barnes:
both lot owners were out of state for this meeting)
The amendment was drafted and signed by the necessary officers. This amendment will
go to the recorder's office and be officially incorporated into the covenants and
restrictions. (I have included a copy of this amendment for your review.)
The previous variance sought by Dr. Marcotte was opposed by neighbors who feared an
increase in traffic on 146th St. The latest data available shows that traffic has increased
on 146th Street from 17,000 vehicles per day in 2003, to 30,000 vehicles per day in 2006.
(See email from David Lucus of the Hamilton County Highway Department) Dr.
Marcotte's current practice located in Noblesville has an average of 12 clients per day
and one UPS delivery. The practice size will remain the same ifpermitted at this location,
and therefore the effect on traffic is nominal.
The other concern of neighbors from the previous hearing was the fear of this variance
allowing other commercial entities to establish along 146th Street. This concern was
addressed by members of the BZA at the hearing explaining that any change in zoning
must go before the Board of Zoning Appeals. They also stated that they have no control
over the property located across the street from this lot. The property across the street is
in Westfield and has since been zoned commercial.
