CARMEL ADVISORY BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS
CARMEL, INDIANA
Docket No.: __________________
Applicant: ______
Property: 670 1st Avenue NE, Carmel, IN 46032
Variance: UDO Section 3.64(C) 1) b) – Maximum Building Width: 55’ permitted; requesting 81’
FINDINGS OF FACT - DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS VARIANCE
1. The approval of this variance will not be injurious to the public health, safety, morals and general welfare
of the community because:
The requested variance is necessary in order to construct a new custom residential home on the Real Estate
consisting of two wings and approval of the variance will not be injurious to the public health, safety,
morals and general welfare of the community. Further, the two portions of the home comply with the 55’
building width standard and the two wings appropriately mass with the other homes in the area.
2. The use and value of the area adjacent to the property included in the variance will not be affected in a
substantially adverse manner because:
The construction of the new custom residential home on the Real Estate will be consistent and compatible
with the other existing homes that surround and are in the vicinity of the Real Estate and the new custom
home should have a positive impact on the use and value of the homes and area surrounding the Real
Estate. The design and location of the home should have positive benefits and impacts on the use and value
of the homes and area surrounding the Real Estate.
3. The strict application of the terms of the Zoning Ordinance to the property will result in practical
difficulties in the use of the property because:
The style of the home is in is keeping with the historical character of the Old Town Sub -Character Overlay
and many of the new homes in the District. The lot is approximately 132’ in width. The proposed home is
divided into two (2) principal and distinct wings with a connector hallway and basement. The north wing is
approximately 25’ wide, the south wing is approximately 40’ wide. The two wings are connected by a
basement and hall that is approximately 16’ wide. The combined width of the two (2) wings and connector
is approximately 81’ not including a covered porch attached to the south wing. While the combined width
exceeds the 55’ limit, the individual wings do not. The connector hallway is located 35-40’ behind the
building line of the two wings, so the two (2) wings will appear to be two separate structures from the
street.
