CARMEL PLAN COMMISSION
DEP ARTMENT REPORT
JANAURY 24, 2008
1-2H. Docket No. 07110025 .PP: Dapper Estates
The applicant seeks primary plat approval for 2 lots on 0.984 acres. One subdivision waiver
requested is:
Docket No. 07110026 SW SCO 6.05.01 lot with no street frontage
The site is located at 1340 Rohrer Rd. and is zoned R-l/Residence.
Filed by Matt Skelton of Baker & Daniels, LLP for Robert Dapper.
The petitioner proposes to plat 2 lots on 0.984 acres. Currently, there are two existing homes on
the parcel. This plat would clear up any legal nonconformity regarding zoning. This plat is a
density of2.03 units per acre, which is a permitted density in the R-I/Residence zoning
classification where the maximum density is 4.3 u/ac and the minimum density I ulac. The
minimum lot size permitted in R-l is 10,000 sq ft. This plat is exempt from the requirements of
the Open Space Ordinance, since it is less than 5 acres in size and it is less than 5 lots.
The subdivision waiver request is for Lot #2 to not have lot frontage on Rohrer Rd, and have an
access easement through lot one, instead. This request is acceptable by the department, since the
second house already exists behind the 1irst existing house.

outstanding issues. Or, if comfortable with the plat, the Commission can suspend its rules and vote
to approve these items, only after all comments and concerns are addressed.
