HomeMy WebLinkAboutHearing Brief 6t:-- ," ;' HEARING BRIEF IN RE: VILLAGE OF MT. CARMEL APPLICATION FOR ,FINAL APPROVAL OF FIFTH SECTION I.. History of the Village of Mt. Carmel Planning for the Village of Mt. Carmel as a suburban community was begun in March of 1954 with preliminary work and planning being completed in April of 1956. The overall comprehensive preliminary planning for the sub-division included water and sewage utilities approved by the Public Service Commission of Indiana and was, i~ fact, the very first privately owned and operated ~tility for service to an individual sub-division" The First Section was approved by the then existing HamiltonCounty Plan Commission on April 29, 1957, and the Second Seciion by that same organization on April 25, 1958. The first 2 Sections contained a total of some 60 lots. In the interim, between Second and Third Section approval, the Hamilton County Pla,n Commis sion ceased to exist and the Carmel Plan Commission came into being. The original master plan for the Town of Carmel was passed and made effective on' the 27th of October,' 1959" -Early in 1960, the developer s of Mt. Carmel Subdivision submitted the overall preliminary plat to the ~ewly created Carmel Town Plan Commission and it was approved as submitted including a waiver of the minimum frontage on February 9, 1960. Almost immediately thereafter, on March 28, 1960, the Third Section was submitted to the manner. II. History of Fifth Section Final Plat Application The final plat of the Fifth Section of Mt. Carmel Subdivision was submitted on the bas is of the preliminary plat as approved and in accordance with the prior approvals of the original Four" Sections . to the Carmel To\Vl1 Plan Commission. After having been received, it was assigned to the subdivision sub-committee which indicated general agreement with the final plat of this section as submitted. . The application came on for hearing before the Plan Commis sion on the 21st of March, 1972, at which time a number of issues were raised relative to deficiencies in the plat according to the sub -division control ordinance. Motion was made to approve the Fifth Section Final Plat as submitted and the vote was' 8 members ln favor and 7 against and the chair ruled that the motion did not pass and the application -2 - ., was denied. Of the six (6) nlemhers on the ~ub-committee present at the time the application was heard, four (4) voted in favor of it, one (1) voted against it and one (1) was absent. Thereafter, on April 3, 1972, by letter addressed to the Chairman of the Plan Commission, a request was made for an immediate re-submission of the final plat of the Fifth Section to the Plan Commission and on April 18,1972, the Plan Commission unanimously voted to reinstate the application in old business for additional hearing on the 16th of May, 1972. III. Ordinances 217 and Z31 requiring curbs, gutters al1d sidewalks would be unreasonable as applied to the Mt. Carmel Subdivision and would create an unnecessary hardship for the d~velopers: Developers submit that an unnecessary hardship would be created by the imposition of Ordinances 217 and Z31 as to this subdivision for the follo'wing reasons: L The Mt. Carmel Subdivision has been planned, surveyed and set out in a preliminary plat which has previously been approved by the Carmel Town Plan Commission on February 9, 1960, prior to the passages of Ordinances Z17 and Z31. 2. The Mt. Carmel Subdivision was planned, el'evati,ons determined, the shape and dimensions of lots determined, the layout of streets, including roadway widths and gradients determined, and considerable development work performed in obtaining proper -3- drainage for the subdivision by tho proper grading of Iota and the use of swails prior to the application for final plat approval of the Fifth Section being fited. 3. A considerable portion of the Fifth Section is in rolling terrain with some wooded areas and it would be impractical to construct sidewalks in part of the area without removing trees and doing extensive excavation work, not only requiring the additional expense but destroying the asthetic beauty of the subdivision. 4. As shown bythe plans, the subdivision is not designed for thru traffic, and, consequently, there is no heavy traf.fic through the subdivision. The size of the lots run generally from 15, 000 square feet up with large backyards allowing for children playing in the backyards. It is notewor~hy that sidewalks encourage children to play.in the sidewalks and street as opposed to the backyard areas which could in and of itself create a safety hazard by the requiring of sidewalks in this area. 5.. There are no public schools in the area where the Mt. Carmel Subdivision is located with might neces sitate use of sidewalks for children walking to school, nor are any planned. Therefore, children would either be driven to school on.a schoolbus or in the family automobile. U. S. Highway #31 will separate the subdivision from Carmel. 6. The developers have incurred considerable expense in planning, . surveying and constructing proper drainage according to their plan for development of the subdivision prior to the requirements for curbs, -4- gutters and sidewalks and has set a pattern for the sale price of lots in the subdivisions' reliance upon the preliminary plat approval. The developers will incur a substantial additional expense if they are required to install curbs, gutters and sidewalks in the balance of the subdivision and particularly, the Fifth Section, which will result in increased cost per lot. 7. Becaus'e the Mt. Carmel Subdivision is not in the incorporated Town of Carmel, there is currently no goyernmental agency which will maintain the curbs, gutters and sidewalks in the subdivision if they are installed. Thus, the developer isfaced with the problem of selling lots to people and having to advise them that neither the To"Wl1 of Carmel nor the Com.ty Gommis.sioners of Hamilton County will maintain the curbs, gutters and sidewalks in future years should the n'eed for maintenance arise. 8. The First, Second and Third Sections which were approved prior to the sidewalk,' curb and gutter ordinances, and the Fourth Section ,which notibly was approved without sidewalks after the pa_ssage of the sidewalk, curb and gutter ordinance have established a pa1fern in the area. It is notable that the subdivis ion has been planned as an area for country type living and that people' who wish to live in such a subdivision do not want curbs, gutters and sidewalks. Thus, the lots in the Fifth Section would los e much of their appeal to such potential -5- purchasers, especially where part of the subdivision would have sidewalks and part would not. IVa Ordinance # Z 17 In the fall of 1961, pursuant to the statutory requirement that ,aTr:lendments to the master plan originate by resolution in the Plan Commission, the Carmel Town Plan Commission began studies of a sidewalk ordinance. The first entry in the minutes of the Plan Conunission which dealt with the sidewalk ordinance are set out as follows: l!October 31, 1961. The public hearing on sidewalks in all new subdivisions held by the Plan Commis sion was called to order at 7: 30 p. m. with all members and the Building Com.mis sianer present. Docket #16 - 61Z llthat sidewalks be required in all new subdivisions with more than one house to an acre!1 was discussed. The following builders and interested persons were present: Tom Wilson, John Bauer, Harry Elliott, Dave Hasten, Ralph Cramer and S. B. Beach. John Bauer expressed an objection that s'ide-walks should not be required in all instances as in a cul-de-sac, but also said that if sidewalks were required, he would certainly comply with the ordinance and he will put sidewalks in the Flair North Subdivision. Harry Elliott expressed disapproval on the same basis as did Tom Wilson. S. B. Beach spok.e in favor of the amendment. The Board will act upon this amendment at the next regular meeting on November 21, 1961. There being no further business -6- the meeting adjourned. IT R. P. Roblee, President Martha Ferrin, Secretary Subsequently, on the 21st of November, 1961, f~rther reference to the proposal appears in the minut~:s of the Carmel Town Plan Commission: I!November 21, 1961. Docket #16-61Z-Peters moved to amend Ordinance #Z8, Section 7, Paragraph A, to read as follows: All new subdivisions within the jurisdictional area of the Carmel Plan Commission must have sidewalks where there is . more than one house per acre. Applegate seconded the motion and it carried by the following vote: Applegate, Aye; Davis, Aye; Hasten, Aye; Hinshaw, Aye; Peters, Aye; Pfotenhauer, Aye; St€fL'1ens, Aye; Wachtstetter, Absent; Zerbe; Aye; Roblee, Aye" Again, onDecember 19, 1961, there is reference in the minutes of the Plan Commis aon to the sidewalk ordinance: J1December 19, 1961. The regular meeting of the Plan Commission was called to order at 7:30 p.m. with all members preserit. The Building Commissioner was also present. The minutes of one regular meeting and two public hearings were read and corrected as follows: The n1.otion by Peters in the November 21 minutes should read as f0llows: lISidewalks shall be installed on each side of the street in all new subdivisions within the jurisdictional area of the Carmel Plan Commission where there is more than one house per acre." II' -7- Every reference in the :rninutes to the sidewalk ordinance specifically includes the qualification that it applied to all new subdivisions. However, on January 2, 1962, after having received the resolution, the Plan Commission, Carmel Board of Trustees passed Ordinance #Z17 which contained the words 'Iall subdivisionsl' as oppos ed to the language which was carried in the resolutions throughout the Plan Commission meetings, "all new subdivisions. " Burns Annotated Statute Section 53 -742 sets out the specific method for amending the master plan and the procedure is clear. Either on its O'W11. motion or by direction of the Town Board, the Plan Commis s ion must originate a propos ed amendment. It is the Plan Commission which holds public hearings on the prop.osed change and not the Town Board. It should be fairly obvious that the due process requirements which protect property owners and developers through the means of a public hearing would be for naught if the Town Board co~ld simply ignore the results or findings or the form of the resolution and without hearing or dher opportu,nity for public discussion make changes and then pass .the amendment into law by way of an ordinance. It is apparent that one of two things occurred: 1. The Town Board in enacting Ordinance Z17 made a mistake and failed to incorporate the word new into the ordinance as had been . intended by the Plan Commisoion, or; -8- 2. The action of the Town Board in changing the resolution which had previously been submitted to a public hearing and had J passed out in the form of a resolu'cion from the Plan Commission was arbitrary and illegaL Had the Town Board complied with the law and had an amendment been intended1 pur suant to Burns 53 -741, they should have l' eturned the pr oposal with the amendments to the Plan Commis sion for further consideration. This was not done, and we must conclude, therefore, that the failure to include the word new by the Town Board was a mistake. In 19631 this specific issue was raised in the case of Jordan Woods, Inc., vs. Carmel Town Plan Commission, Charles Byfield, Warren ConleY1 Donald Wilson1 in the Circuit Court of Hamilton County, Cause #63-537. Jordan Woods1 like your applicant herein, had received preliminary plat approval and section approval prior to the passage of Ordinance 217 and was sub- sequently refused final plat approval for failure to include sidewalks following the adoption of the Ordinance. In that case, Judge George B. Davis acting as Special Judge in the Hamilton Circuit Court, spec- ifically. found that, 110rdinances 2-17 and 2-31 were intended by the Town Board to apply to all new subdivisions and since Appellants filed a docurnent designated "Preliminary Plat~J and obtained Plan Commiss.ion approval therefore on February 22, 1960, sometime before the ordinances were passed, the finding and judgment of the Court in this matter is strictly , confirJ€rl. and limited to the particu,lar' facts in this case. It is not intended as a precedent for any other -9- subdivisions not involved here.. II We have attached a copy of the entry made by Judge Davis In that case to this hearing brief in its entirety and marked it "Exhibit All. While, as Judge Davis points out, the Jordan Woods case was not intended to be pr ecedent for other subdivisions, it is appar ent that the facts are exactly the same and not unique to the Jordan Woods case, inasmuch as the Mt.. Carmel developer s sta:nd in exactly the same position as did the developers in the Jordan Woods case.. Judge Davis held in his decision that Ordinance Z17 and Z 31 as they related" to the final plat approval in the Jordan Woods cas e, ". . . constitute an unnecessary hardship and an unreasonable restriction upon the Plaintiff in the use of its particular property.. 11 Judge Davis further pointed out that the action was, 11. . . illegal, and arbitrary interference with the Plaintiff's property rights, and constitutes a deprivation of Plaintiff's property rights without due proces s of law. 11 V. Variance The subdivision control ordinance contains a specific provision in Article 7 which anticipates situations where flexibility is required. It is the opinion of your applicant herein that the variance provision contained in Article 7 is the specific legal method for implementing. variations from the requirements of the subdivision control ordinance and not as has been suggested in some cases an application for a change for the Board of Zoning Appeals. Article 7 specifically provides as follows: -10- ; I'Where the Huhd:i.vidcl' can Hhow fh:\.1; ~L prov'i.Hi()n of this ordinance would cause nnn.ccc:s..::lary hardship if strictly adhered to, and where, in the opinion of the Commis sian, becaus e of topographical or other conditions peculiar to the site, a departure may be made without destroying the intent of such provision, the Commission may authorize a variance". Any variance thus authorized is required to be entered in writing in the minutes of the Commis sian and the :reasoning on which the departure was justified shall be set forth. 11 It is the opinion of your applicant herein that if the sidewalk and curb and gutter ordinances are required that such a requirement will constitut e both a legal and a practical hardship on the developer and that it is a case where a variance is both reas onable and purpos eful. VI. CONCL USION The Village of Mt. Carmel Subdivision is unique in many ways as it relates and compares to other subdivision developments in the Carmel area. To begin with, it is one of the earliest of the comprehensive type subdivisions and it has many.aspects about it which have yet to be equalled by any of the more recent developments, such was water and s"ewage facilities, which were put in by the developer at a cost of nearly a quarter of a million dollars. In its 15 year s of existence, it has "develop ed a certain reputation and a continuity of style and asthetics which in and of itself should justify retaining the character of the neighborhood as it exists currently. Furthermore, in the 15 years of- its existence, there has never been a complaint by any resident of the -11- --i~ development about the Jack of curbs 1 gutters or sidewalks 1 nor has there ever been a safety problem, let alone a safety problem which could be linked to the lack of sidewalks, curbs or gutters. In the opinion of the applicant, herein, there are numerous legal reasons in addition to the practical considerations for considering the imposition of the ordinance requirments for sidewalks, curbs and gutters to be an unneces sary hardship justifying a variance in this cas~ and we would urge the Plan Commission to grant a variance and accept the final plat with such a variance..
