COME NOW William D. McEvoy, Gregory M. Policka, Susan Becker, Rex
A. Weiper, Rene Pimentel, and Donald K. Craft (the "Appellant Intervenors"), by
counsel, and file with the Carmel/Clay Advisory Board of Zoning Appeals their
written comments, analysis, exhibits, argument, and requests for judgment in the
captioned action as appellants of the determinations by the Director (the
"Director") of the Department of Community Services of the City of Carmel (the
"DOCS") in the Director's letter dated June 24, 2004 (the "Letter of
1
~
-.J
Determination") addressed to the original Appellant, Mr. Thomas Yedlick (the
"Appellant"), and in support thereof. provide the following information and
arguments.
Introduction
On November 15, 1979, the Declaration of Covenants and Restrictions
For Wood Creek, a subdivision in Hamilton County, Indiana, were recorded in the
Office of the Recorder of Hamilton County, Indiana, indicating that the primary
and secondary plats of Wood Creek had been approved. Thus, on or about that
date the land later to be developed as the Wood Creek subdivision was included
within the land planned for residential development by the applicable planning
and zoning authority for the area. Wood Creek is adjacent to the Land, as
defined below, that contains the Carmel Sand and Gravel Plant ("Plant").
~
On February 29, 1988, Ryan Homes, Inc. sold Lot 106 in Wood Creek
subdivision and the new home located thereon to Peter N. Chen and Tina T.
Chen. This was the eighth home, as it turned out later, to be located within the
one quarter mile square that included the site whereon would later be located the
Plant.
In September 1990, the Oak Hill Mansion, which was originally located
adjacent to the east line of the Kingswood subdivision, was moved to its new
location on the south side of 116th Street, east of Hazel Dell Parkway.
Sometime after September, 1990, American Aggregates Corporation moved or
erected the present Plant on the Plant site, defined below as part of the Land,
2
( ,
V
..J
which is located east of Kingswood subdivision, southeast of Wood Creek
subdivision, and commenced a sand and gravel processing operation, which
included loading, sifting, sorting, separating, stockpiling, sales, and shipping of
sand, gravel, and raw aggregate. That use now includes the sale of mulch.
American Aggregates Corporation also stripped the Land, installed a large waterw
borne dredge, and began pumping out the sand and gravel to the Plant for
processing. This operation ultimately created a lake covering approximately 100
acres, extending from very near Kingswood and Wood Creek subdivisions to
Hazel Dell Parkway. This work was all done without any rezoning, application for
special use approval, or variance of use. The records of the DOCS indicate that
there were no permits applied for or issued for the erection of the Plant or the
commencement or continuance of this operation. The Appellant Intervenors
believe that all of this work was done in direct violation of the Carmel/Clay Zoning
Ordinance, specifically Chapter 5 thereof.
In the Fall of 2002, American Aggregates Corporation, also known as
Martin Marietta Materials, Inc. (the "Respondent Intervenor"), see Exhibit R
included herewith, parked the dredge on the bank of the lake and ceased
extracting sand and gravel aggregate from the Land. See Exhibit T, included
herewith. Shortly thereafter, probably in the Spring of 2003, the Respondent
Intervenor began shipping in from other locations than the Land large amounts of
raw sand and gravel aggregate for processing in the Plant, which material is now
being stockpiled on the Land. See Exhibit T, included herewith. Again. no
3
~
~
..J
permits have been found or disclosed to allow this operation and the Appellant
Intervenors believe this continues a clear violation of Chapter 5 of the
Carmel/Clay Zoning Ordinance.
In the latter half of 2002, the Land was annexed into the City of Carmel.
The Appellant Intervenors request that the BZA take administrative notice of such
annexation and date.
On June 24, 2004, the Director of the DOCS issued his Letter of
Determination, included herewith as Exhibit N, stating that:
.J
2. The land uses that were established on Martin Marietta's properties
on or about May 17, 2002, constituted legal, nonconforming uses;
3. Those uses do not appear to have been substantially modified,
expanded, or added to since May 2002; and
4. Therefore, those uses remain legal, nonconforming uses under the
Carmel Clay Zoning Ordinance which may not be substantially modified,
expanded, or added to without a change of zoning classification or Board
approval of a special use or variance.
This appeal was timely commenced by Thomas Yedlick and the Appellant
Intervenors filed a timely Notice of Intervention. The Respondent Intervenor filed
its Notice of Intervention on August 17, 2004.
The principal issue to be decided. by the Carmel/Clay Advisory Board of
Zoning Appeals (the "BZA") is Whether or not the Letter of Determination should
4
~
...J
have been issued by the DOCS. In order to make a defensible decision in that
regard, the BZA must examine whether or not the use appealed from by Thomas.
Yedlick and the Appellant Intervenors was a permitted or legal nonconforming
use as described in the Letter of Determination. Thus, the BZA must hear
evidence and apply the law to the evidence concerning the legality of the use of
the Land and Plant and determine whether or not the Plant and Land constitute a
legal use. When the legality of the use has been determined, then the BZA will
be able to decide whether or not the Letter of Determination was issued in error.
...)
5
~
A.
The present use of the land and Plant are Illegal.
~
All zoning is local. The State of Indiana provides a framework for cities
such as Carmel to adopt zoning ordinances, see Ind. Code S 36-7-4-1 DO, et seq.,
but generally the content of the comprehensive plan, zoning ordinances, and rule
of procedure are left to the sound discretion of the applic~ble legislative bodies.
The Appellant Intervenors hereby request that the BZA administrative notice of
all of the provisions of I.C. S 36-7-4 and the authority granted therein to local
boards of zoning appeals and plan commissions.
In this case, the Town, now City, of Carmel and Clay Township, Hamilton
County, Indiana, on May 2, 1961, entered into a Joinder Agreement for the
purpose of combining the planning and zoning work and authority to be
conducted in their respective jurisdictions into one agency, one plan commission,
~
and one legislative body. Thereafter, all planning and zoning was performed by
the Common Council of the Town, now City, of Carmel, Indiana; the Carmel/Clay
Advisory Plan Commission; the Carmel/Clay Advisory Board of Zoning Appeals;
and the Carmel Department of Community Services. Therefore, since May 2,
1961, the Carmel Department of Community Services (the "DOCS") has been the
agency charged with administering the planning and zoning functions of all of
Clay Township, including the site of the Carmel Sand and Gravel Plant (the
"Plant"), as defined below. The Appellant Intervenors hereby request that the
BZA take administrative notice of all of the provisions of the Carmel/Clay Zoning
Ordinances.

This appeal relates to the land (the "Land") owned by American
Aggregates Corporation that is located in the Northeast Quarter of Section 4,
Township 17 North, Range 3 East, in Hamilton County, Indiana. The tax parcel
number for the Land is 1714040000018.00. See Exhibit A. The general location
of the Land is west of Hazel Dell Parkway, east of Kingswood subdivision, and
north of land owned by the Mueller family limited liability company. It is also the
same land as is described in the Appeal filed by Thomas Yedlick in this case. In
addition to the Land, this appeal relates to the operation of the Plant on said
Land, questions the reasonableness of the Letter of Determination, and
questions whether or not the operation of the Plant is legal.
During all times relevant to this appeal, being 1988 through the present
day, the zoning of the Land has been "S1/Residence District" under the Carmel
Zoning Ordinance, the uses of which are described in Chapter 5 of the
Carmel/Clay Zoning Ordinance, contained herein as Exhibit H. This zoning
classification has always prohibited mineral extraction, processing of materials,
and sales of goods. To escape this prohibition, an applicant must either receive
(a) a Special Use approval or (b) a Variance of Use. Neither of these has ever
been filed with respect to the Land for the purpose of continuing the operation of
the Plant. The request filed by the Respondent Intervenor for the further
extraction of sand and gravel from the Land (but not the operation of the Plant)
was denied by this BZA and the appeal is still pending in the Hamilton County
courts. Therefore, use of the Land for mineral extraction, processing of
7
~
~
.-J
materials, and sales of goods is in violation of Chapter 5 of the Carmel/Clay
Zoning Ordinance and has been in violation since the use was started. Such
uses are, of course, more appropriate In the M1/Manufacturing District, found at
Chapter 20B of the Carmel/Clay Zoning Ordinances, included herewith as Exhibit
C, but even under that zoning classification a Special Use Approval by this BZA
would be required.
On June 29, 2004, the Appellant Intervenors requested a copy of the
entire file of the Director of the DOCS on the matter of his determination that the
uses ofthe Land were legal, as well as other documents in the possession of the
Director. See Exhibit V, included herewith, which includes the responses to
those requests and a list of documents ultimately copied from the DOCS files.
The Director's file contained copies of the 1997 and 2002 agreements between
Martin Marietta Materials, Inc., American Aggregates Corporation, the City of
Carmel, and others, but did not include any photographs, Inspection reports,
disclosures of information, payroll records, sales records, mining history,
construction information, history of other permits issues by governmental
agencies, or third party reports that could lead a reasonable person to conclude
what activities were occurring in 1988, 1990, 1996, 1997, 2002, or the present
time. Without any basis for determining the nature of the activities and uses of
the Land at the crucial times, there can be no reasonable basis for determining
that a use is legal or illegal, conforming or nonconforming, for the Director cannot
know what the use was when the Land first became subject to the Carmel Zoning
8
..J
~
~
Ordinances or at any time since then. This, alone, would create the reason for
the rescission of the Letter of Determination; however, the Appellant
Respondents believe that there is good reason to not only rescind the Letter of
Determination but to issue a new Letter of Determination declaring that the use of
the Land and Plant is illegal.
There are no aoad excuses for the illeaality.
So, on what basis could the DOCS and the Respondent Intervenor justify
the continued operation of an obviously illegal use, pnd how can the DOCS
justify issuing its Letter of Determination?
No Exemption reQardina "urban area"
First, the Respondent Intervenor has alleged that at the time it
commenced operating the Plant on the Land, in 1990 or later, it was exempted
from complying with the Carmel/Clay Zoning Ordinance by I.e. 9 36-7-4-1103,
formerly I.C. 9 18-7-5-61, commonly known as the "urban area" statute. This
statute states in pertinent part:
(b) ADVISORY-AREA. For purposes of this section, urban areas
include a/l lands and lots within the corporate boundaries of a municipality,
any other lands or lots used for residential purposes where there are at
least eight (8) residences within any quarter mile square area, and other
lands or lots that have been or are planned for residential areas
contiguous to the municipality.
.-J
9
~
~
(c) ADVISORY-AREA. This chapter does not authorize an
ordinance or action of a plan commission that would prevent, outside of
urban areas, the complete use and alienation of any mineral resources or
forests by the owner or alienee of them.
I.e. S 36-7-4-1103(b) and (c).
.-J
This statute has been interpreted in several cases, but the most definitive
for our purposes is the case of Clark County Bd. Of County Commissioners v.
King, 160 Ind.App. 152, 310 N.E.2d 560 (Ind.App. 1974), of which a copy is
included herewith as Exhibit D, in which the court refined the second definition of
"urban area" found in I.e. S 36-7-4-1103(b) as follows:
We . . . construe the term "quarter mile square area" as defining a square
one quarter of a mile or 1,320 feet on each side, rather than a square one
half mile, or 2,640 feet on each side.
The number of residences located on the subject property [emphasis in
the original] within any given quarter mile square area is not dispositive of
whether all or any part of the property lies within an urban area. The
identification of an urban area as defined by the statute bears no
relationship to the boundaries of the subject property. Once an urban
area has been defined, the position of the subject property becomes
relevant for the determination of what part, if any, of the property falls
within any established urban area. As to any part of plaintiffs' property
10
~
-.J
which falls within a defined urban area, the statutory limitation on
defendants' authority is inapplicable. However, the statutory limitation
does apply as to any part of plaintiffs' property lying outside of any
established urban area.
310 N.E.2d at 564-5.
Thus, if at any time before the commencement of operations of the Plant
there were eight or more residences occupied within a square measuring 1,320
feet on all sides and including the Plant, then the Plant could not operate without
a Special Use Approval or a Variance of Use. To establish that in fact the Plant
has been operating illegally since its inception, the Appellant Intervenors would
call the attention of the BZA to the following Exhibits:
Exhibit E: Aerial Photograph taken in 2001, large scale, with the
tax assessor's mapping overlaid upon it as of March 2003. This
photograph clearly shows the locations and outlines of the Plant, the lake
surrounding it, the property lines, and the homes in Wood Creek and
Kingswood to the west of the lake. The parcel number of "018.00" is an
abbreviated form of the full parcel number for the Land.
Exhibit F: Aerial Photograph taken in 1985 of the same land as
in Exhibit E above. This photograph shows the commencement of Wood
Creek subdivision, the location of the Oak Hill Mansion on the Land east
of Kingswood, and the farming activity on the Land.

Exhibit G: Various building permits issued to Ryan Homes, Inc.
for the construction of homes along the east line of Wood Creek
subdivision.
Exhibit H:
Various deeds from Ryan Homes, Inc. to the first
home purchasers of the homes listed in Exhibit F above.
Exhibit I:
List of Lots, Addresses, Builder, Permit Dates, and
Date of Deed to Consumer for the homes listed in Exhibits G and H
above.
Exhibit J;
Map showing the location of the homes listed in
~
Exhibits G, H, and I within a one quarter mile square that includes the
Plant and a substantial part of the lake on the Land.
The Appellant Intervenors have requested that the Respondent Intervenor
provide the date when the Plant was built on the Land in its present location,
when the Plant commenced operations, when the dredging stopped, and when
the importation of off-site sand and gravel commenced. So far, the Respondent
Intervenor has refused all such disclosures. The Appellant Intervenors therefore
offer the following evidence on the question of when the Plant was built:
Exhibit K:
Affidavit of Rex A. Weiper dated October 13, 2004,
indicating that the Plant was not built before 1990 and providing reasons
to support his statement.
Exhibit L:
1989 Special Use Application by American
Aggregates Corporation to mine the land at the southwe'St corner of 106th
12
~
~
81. and Gray Road in 1989, including an aerial photograph taken at the
request of American Aggregates and filed in connection with its request for
a Special Use Approval. This photograph clearly shows that as of 1989
the Kingswood subdivision was nearly complete, the Oak Hill Mansion
was still on the Land, and the Plant was no where to be seen on the Land.
This photograph was obtained from the offices of the DOCS pursuant to a
valid discovery request and was reviewed by the DOCS and the legal
department of the City of Carmel before being released to the Appellant
Intervenors.
~
Exhibit M: Copy of the home page from the Oak Hill Mansion
web site, indicating that the building was originally south of Cool Creek
and west of River Road, and that when the house was moved it was taken
down a hill and across a corn field in 1990. The corn field would not have
been there to be crossed if the lake were already there, indicating that the
lake was not yet there and the Plant was not yet in operation.
Through formal requests submitted to the DOCS and the responses of the
DOCS, the Appellant Intervenors have discovered all of the permit records for
American Aggregates Corporation and the Respondent Intervenors, and there
are no such records for the Plant. There does not appear to be a Plan Release
issued by the State of Indiana because the Plant is apparently not a building in
which occupancy is expected to occur. Therefore, although the Appellant
Intervenors do not know where the Plant came from (it might have been
13
~
~
relocated from the southwest corner of the Indianapolis North Plant, see Exhibit
E)., the Appellant Intervenors are convinced that the Plant could not have been in
operation prior to the Land becoming an "urban area" under I.e. S 36~7~4~1103,
as interpreted in the Clark County case cited above.
A second reason why the land was in an "urban area" at the time of
commencement of operations by the Plant is that the Carmel Common Council
had adopted a Comprehensive Plan for the area including Wood Creek and
Kingswood subdivisions prior to 1988, amended in 1996 with the Vision 2020
Comprehensive Plan, that indicated that the land was "planned for residential
areas contiguous to the municipality." I.C. S 36-7~4~11 03(b). There is no
requirement in such statute that the Land be contiguous to or included in the
municipality at the time of planning, so long as the planning includes land that is
contiguous to the municipality, regardless of distance. The Comprehensive Plan
constitutes the "planning" required by the "urban area" statute. The fact that the
Comprehensive Plan includes the Land, the areas between the Land and the
municipal boundaries, and the City of Carmel means that the planned areas are
contiguous to the municipality for purposes of the "urban area" statute.
Therefore, upon the adoption of the first Comprehensive Plan that included the
Wood Creek or Kingswood area and the area between them and the municipal
boundaries the Land became part of an "urban area" and the City of Carmel was
no longer restricted from imposing the restrictions of the Carmel/Clay Zoning
Ordinances upon the Land. The Appellant Intervenors request that the BZA take
14
~
~
~
administrative notice of the contents of the Comprehensive Plan that was
applicable at the time of the erection of the Plant.
No Exemption based on aQreement with the City.
A second defense for the DOCS, and perhaps the Respondent Intervenor,
may be that they believe that the May 17, 2002 Settlement and Release
Agreement, included herewith as Exhibit N, somehow cured all of the zoning
defects in the Land and the Plant, and thus allows the Plant to continue as a
legal nonconforming use under Chapter 28 of the Carmel/Clay Zoning
Ordinance. Such reliance is misplaced, for at least the following reasons:
1. Pursuant to I.C. S 36-7-4-201, -202, -205, -402, -405, -501, -601, -
701, -801, -918.1, -918.2, -918..4, -918.5, -919, and -920, the planning and
zoning authority and jurisdiction are vested in the Carmel Common Council, the
Carmel/Clay Advisory Plan CommIssion, and the Carmel/Clay Board of Zoning
Appeals. None of these boards, or commissions, or councils signed the
Settlement Agreement. Therefore, those who have the jurisdiction to change
zoning status are not bound by the Settlement Agreement and it did not alter the
nonconforming status of the Land or the Plant.
2. By its own terms, the Settlement Agreement does not attempt to
alter the zoning status ofthe Land, as follows:
Kingswood, Martin Marietta, Hughey and the City recognize that this
agreement is for the purpose of settlement of ttie Lawsuit and is not
binding on the BZA, the Carmel Clay Plan Commission or the Common
15
~
~
~
Council of the City in the exercise of their responsibilities for land use and
zoning of Clay Township and the City of Carmel.
Settlement and Release Aqreement. dated May 17, 2002, at page 8.
3. Until the June 24, 2004 Letter of Determination, included herewith
as Exhibit 0, no one had followed the proper procedure for determining the
nonconforming status of the Land or the Plant. The Letter of Determination is the
cause of the Appeal by Thomas Yedlick and the Intervention by the Appellant
Intervenors. Until now, the issue has never been properly raised and, therefore,
has never been properly adjudicated or determined by anyone with the
jurisdiction and authority to do so.
No Exemption based on leQal nonconforming use supposedlv
created by the "urban area" statute
Third, the DOCS and the Respondent Intervenor may attempt to rely on
Chapter 28 of the Carmel/Clay Zoning Ordinance, Nonconforminq Uses and
Exemptions, to claim that the Plant is a legal nonconforming use because (a)
during the time it commenced operations it was exempted from compliance with
Chapter 5 of the Carmel/Clay Zoning Ordinance by the "urban area" statute, and
(b) once the exemption was lifted due to annexation of the Land into the City of
Carmel in 2002 the uses of the Plant and Land were by then legal nonconforming
uses; however, that reliance is likewise misplaced. As set forth in the definitions
in the Carmel/Clay Zoning Ordinance,
..J
16
~
.-J
USE, CONFORMING. A Use of a Building, land or premises which
does conform to all of the applicable provisions of this ordinance.
USE, NONCONFORMING ILLEGAL. A Use of a Building, land or
premises existing at the time of the passage of this ordinance which does
not conform to all of the applicable provisions of this ordinance nor those
of any ordinance superseded by this ordinance.
USE, NONCONFORMING LEGAL. A Use of a Building, land or
premises existing at the time of the passage of this ordinance which does
not conform to all of the applicable provisions of this ordinance but did
conform to applicable provisions of any ordinance superseded by this
ordinance.
Carmel/Clay Zoning Ordinance, Chapter 3: Definitions.
As set forth above, the Land and Plant as presently being used do not
conform to any zoning ordinance, thus the uses are nonconforming. Secondly,
because they never conformed to a superseded ordinance, they are illegal
nonconforming. There is nothing in the definitIons to indicate that being
temporarily exempt from compliance with a zoning ordinance will allow a legal
nonconforming use to spring forth when the exemption- is lifted. Therefore, the
fact that I.C. 9 36-7-4-1003 might have provided a temporary exemption from
enforcement of the Carmel/Clay Zoning Ordinance against the Plant and Land
with respect to "complete use" of minerals, had they been conforming in the first
instance, cannot elevate their illegal uses to legal nonconforming uses. An
17
~
~
~
Indiana statute is not "an ordinance superseded by this ordinance," as required
by Chapter 3 quoted above, and even if it were deemed to be the equivalent of
an ordinance, I.C. ~. 36-7-4-1103 is not in the form of an ordinance creating or
restricting rights; instead, It is in the form of a prohibition on certain actions by the
legislative bodies of cities, town, and counties. In other words, I.C. S 36-7-4-
1103 does not seek to directly regulate land use in Carmel, it seeks to restrict
authority of the Carmel Common Council. There is no way that a land use could
"conform to [the] applicable provisions" of such a statute.
No Exemption based on interpretation of ordinance to create a
"permitted use'" o.ut of a nonconforming use that would be eliQible for
special use approval
Fourth, the Respondent Intervenor may be relying upon its interpretation
of Section 28.01.06 of Chapter.28 of the Carmel/Clay Zoning Ordinance, which
states in relevant part:
28.01 Leqal Nonconforminq Use Specifications.
A legal nonconforming use may be continued, although such use
does not conform to all the provisions of this Ordinance, as
hereinafter provided:
..J
28.01.06 Existing uses eligible for special use approval shall not be
18
-..J
-.J
considered legal nonconforming uses nor require special use
approval for continuance but shall require special use
approval for any alteration, enlargement or extension.
The Respondent Intervenor interprets this subsection as granting its illegal
nonconforming use the status of a "permitted use." Nothing could be further from
the intent of the Carmel Common Council. The correct interpretation is to read
"for purposes of this section" after "legal nonconforming uses" to make clear that
subsections 28.01.01, -.02, and -.05 do not apply to those few uses that could be
converted into permitted uses by means of a Special Use Approval. Thus, for
those uses that could be converted to permitted uses by a Special Use Approval.
they may not be extended throughout a building, subsection 28.01.01, the use
may not be changed to another use having the same restrictions, subsection
28.01.02, and, the discontinuance of the use for more than a year will not work a
forfeiture, subsection 28.01.05. While subsection 28.01.06 may not have been
artfully drafted, it clearly applies only within Section 28.01 and to reach the
conclusion that all uses that are eligible for special use automatically become
"permitted uses" is absurd.
Summary of Illegal Nonconformina Use
The Appellant Intervenors have demonstrated that the Plant and the
mining of the Land between the Plant and the east lines of Wood Creek and
Kingswood subdivisions have been illegal since their beginnings. Further, each
potential defense to the allegation of illegal nonconforming use has been
19
~
-..J
-J
addressed and defeated. Therefore, the use of the Plant has been and
continues to be illegal.

B.
Standard of Review of the Letter of Determination
In reviewing the DOCS Letter of Determination, the BZA is not limited to
merely approving or disapproving such Letter, but may modify it in any
~
appropriate manner and may take further steps that are justified to enforce the
provisions of the Carmel/Clay Zoning Ordinance where appropriate.
The Board of Zoning Appeals is not limited to an affirmance or reversal of
the action of the building commissioner or other administrative officer
charged with the enforcement of the ordinance, but may use its judgment
and discretion in making such modification of the official's order and attach
such conditions and restrictions to the granting of a variance as in its
opinion should be made, so that the spirit of the ordinance shall be
observed and substantial justice done.
City of East Chicago, Ind. V. Sinclair Refining Co. 232 Ind. 295, 111 N.E.2d 459
at 467 (Ind. 1953), copy included herewith as Exhibit P.
Therefore, the BZA need not sit merely as a reviewing panel but may take
affirmative action. Further, although it could review the DOCS decisions without
a hearing, once the hearing is granted, it should make its own decision based on
the law and the evidence without any weight given to the DOCS Letter of
Determination. City of New Haven v. Chemical Waste Management of Indiana,
L.L.C., 701 N.E.2d 912 (Ind.App. 1998), copy included herewith as Exhibit Q.
Therefore, decisions should be based on a preponderance of evidence, not on
an arbitrary and capricious standard of review, and the BZA should be able to
21
~
,
-..-J
fashion a remedy and/or direct the DOCS to follow a particular course of action in
order to avoid confusion and/or further hearings and in order to exercise and
preserve its powers granted by the state and Carmel Common Council.

C. FindinQs of Fact and Conclusions of Law. The Appellant intervenors
herewith submit the following Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law for
consideration by the BZA:
Findings of Fact.
1. The Land, as described in the Appeal filed by Thomas Yedlick, is
Iqcated along the east lines of Wood Creek and Kingswood subdivisions,
west of Hazel Dell Parkway,and north of land owned by the Mueller family
limited liability company.
2. Prior to September 1990 the Land was occupied by a vacant home
known as the Oak Hill Mansion and the Land was used exclusively for
. agricultural purposes or was unused.
3. In November 1979 the Wood Creek subdivision was approved for
development and a Declaration of Covenants and Restrictions For Wood
Creek was recorded in the Office of the Recorder of Hamilton County,
Indiana.
4. On February 29, 1988, Ryan Homes, Inc. sold the home located
5260 Westwood Drive, Carmel, Indiana, on lot 106 in Wood Creek
subdivision, to Peter N. Chen and Tina T. Chen.
5. Upon the sale of Lot 106, there were at least eight homes located
within one-quarter mile square of the future, now current, location of the
Carmel Sand and Gravel Plant (the "Plant").
~
23
..J
~
6. Commencing during or after September 1990, the owner of the
Land, American Aggregates Corporation (represented in this case by
Martin Marietta Materials, Inc., the "Respondent Intervenor"), began
operations to extract sand and gravel from the Land an-d erected the Plant
thereon.
7. Since development of the Land as a quarry and until the Fall of
2002, the Land has been used by the owner for mineral extraction by
means of a water-borne dredge; mineral processing at the Plant;
stockpiling of sand, gravel, and mulch; and, sales of goods to customers.
9. The dredging of minerals from the lake created by the owner of the
Land, whether American Aggregates Corporation or the Respondent
Intervenor, terminated in the Fall of 2002 and has not resumed.
10. Commencing in the Spring of 2003, the owner of the Land began
importing large amounts of aggregate for processing at the Plant into
marketable sand and gravel, including the stockpiling thereof and the sale
thereof to customers. Such sales include the sale of mulch.
11. In 2002 the Land was annexed into the City of Carmel.
12. The owners of the Land have never sought to obtain a Special Use
Approval to continue mineral extraction, mineral processing, or sale of
goods on or from the Land.
~
24
-.-J
13. On June 24, 2004, the Director of the Carmel Department of
~
Community Services issued a Letter of Determination stating, in pertinent
part, as follows:
2. The land uses that were established on Martin Marietta's
properties on or about May 17, 2002, constituted legal,
nonconforming uses;
3. Those uses do not' appear to have been substantially
modified, expanded, or added to since May 2002; and
4. Therefore, those uses remain legal, nonconforming uses
under the Carmel Clay Zoning Ordinance which may not be
substantially modified, expanded, or added to without a change of
-.-J
zoning classification or Board approval ofa special use Of variance.
14.
The files of the Director of the Department of Community Services
do not contain sufficient information about the actual uses of the Land to
determine what they were or are at the times mentioned in the Letter of
Determination.
Conclusions of Law.
1. The Land is within the planning and zoning jurisdiction of the City of
Carmel, the Carmel/Clay Advisory Plan Commission, and this Carmel/Clay
Advisory Board of Zoning Appeals (the "BZAIJ).
25
\
~
\
~
2. All parties to this case have timely filed all necessary pleadings to
be subject to the jurisdiction of this BZA and to join the issues herein
determined.
3. Prior to the adoption of the Zoning Ordinance Z-160 in 1980, the
Carmel Town Board adopted a Comprehensive Plan that included the
Land as part of the residential uses of the immediate area.
4. As of the adoption of Zoning Ordinance 2-160 by the Carmel Town
Board in 1980 and at all times since that date, the zonIng classification for
the Land has been S1/Residence District within Chapter 5 of the Carmel
Zoning Ordinances.
5. Uses permitted within the S1/Residence District included and still
include the use of single-family residences, but do not include and have
~
never included mineral extraction, mineral processing, or sales of goods.
6. The uses of the Land and Plant presently constitute nonconforming
uses.
7. The nonconforming uses of the Land are illegal uses unless the
Respondent Intervenor establishes a defense to such allegation, such as
by exemption, Special Use Approval, or Variance of Use Approval.
8. Respondent Intervenor's claim that Ind. Code S 36-7-4-1103
provides an exemption from compliance with the restrictions found in
Chapter 5 of the Carmel Zoning Ordinance is unavailing because the Land
was already part of an "urban area" for purposes of said statute at the time
26
~
of the. commencement of the mineral extraction, processing, and sale
~
uses. Even if the statute did provide an exemption for a period of time, the
exemption is now lifted due to the annexation of the land into the City of
Carmel in 2002.
9. Respondent Intervenor's claim that the Settlement and Release
Agreement granted a permanent legal nonconforming use status to the
Land is unavailing because the Settlement and Release Agreement by its
terms does not purport to alter the current zoning status of the Land, and,
none of the officials of the City of Carmel who have planning and zoning
jurisdiction sufficient to grant a change in zoning status executed the
Settlement and Release Agreement. On the contrary, the Letter of
Determination is the first opportunity that this BZA and the public have had
~
to discuss and decide the issues raised in this appeal.
"
10. Respondent Intervenor's claim that I.C. ~ 36-7.4.1103 allows it to
continue the nonconforming uses after the annexation of the land into the
City of Carmel is unavailing because such statute is not a land use
ordinance of the City of Carmel to which the land was in conformity at the
time of the annexation; thus, the statute cannot assist the Respondent
Intervenor is creating a legal nonconforming use.
11. Respondent Intervenor's claim that Subsection 28.01.06 of the
Carmel Zoning Ordinance grants it a "permitted use" without any
application therefore is without merit because the provisions of that
27
~
~
subsection apply only to the other subsections in Section 28.01 and are
not intended to overturn the several other provisions of the Carmel Zoning
Ordinance that must be complied with to obtain changes of use.
12. Respondent Intervenor has not presented facts or argument to
sufficiently rebut the evidence and argument of the Appellant Intervenor
and thus the Appellant Intervenor has satisfied its burdens of proof and
persuasion.
13. The facts and law lead the BZA to the conclusion that the mineral
extraction, mineral processing, and sales of goods on the Land are illegal
nonconforming uses and are subject to immediate suspension.
14. Because the uses of the owner on the Land are illegal, the
issuance of the Letter of Determination by the, Director of the DOCS was
inappropriate and should not have been done.
15. This BZA has the power to rescind the Letter of Determination, to
order the issuance of a corrected Letter of Determination in conformity
with this ruling, ,and to order the immediate suspension of all illegal activity
at the Plant and on the Land.
--.J
28
~
~
D. Request for Relief
Based on the above discussion and the Exhibits included herewith, it is
clear that continued operation of the Plant will be just as unlavvful as it has been
in the past and cannot be justified. The nuisances caused by the Plant to the
neighbors in Wood Creek and Kingswood have continued long enough and
should be terminated by' immediate closure of the Plant operations.
Accordingly, the Appellant Intervenors pray for the following relief:
1, An Order to the DOCS to rescind its Letter of Determination dated
June 24, 2004 and to issue a new determination in accordance with the BZA's
decision that the Plant operation is illegal and must not be allowed to continue.
2, An Order to the Respondent Intervenor to immediately cease all
operations of the Plant and to immediately begin removal of the stockpiles of
sand, gravel, mulch, aggregate, and/or other materials located on the Land that
are currently for sale or regularly sold from the Land, All such materials should
be removed within a reasonable time to be determined by the DOCS. The Order
should include the right of the DOCS to inspect the Land on a regular periodic
basis to determine compliance by the Respondent Intervenor with the BZA's
Order,
~
3. An Order to the Respondent Intervenor to pay the maximum fines
that may be allowed under Indiana law and the Carmel City Code, as applicable,
and all other relief that is appropriate under the circumstances.

The purpose of the M-I Manufacturing District is to create and protect areas for manufacturing
establishments which may be characterized by objectionable factors which are exceedingly
difficult to eliminate because of specific manufacturing techniques. These industries therefore
require large sites buffered by sufficient land areas .in order to be isolated from non-compatible
uses because of heavy traffic generation, open storage of materials and possible emission of noise,
glare, dust, odor, smoke or other offensive characteristics. This district is intended to insure
proper design, placement and grouping of manufacturing concems within the community so as not
to create a nuisance to other sun-ounding land uses. Land to be placed in this district is intended
to have generallY level topography, public utilities (sewer, water, etc.) and major transportation
facilities readily available. This district should be buffered as much as possible from undeveloped
commercial and residential districts. Establishment of the M-I District directly adjacent to an
established or platted residential subdivision should be avoided. No M-I District should be
created withiIl onc hundred fifty feet (150') of an established or platted residential subdivision.
Vehicular traffic serving the M-I District should .llot be routed into or through a residential
development or onto a street serving a school or community-facility. Truck traffic serving the M-
I District should be prohibited from using surrounding residential strects.

, Plaintiffs relied on IC .l971, 18-7~5-61,
Ind.Ann.Stat. ti 53-759 (Burns 1964),
which reads:
"N othing in this act' [~~ 5~701-53.:.795]
shall be deemed to authorize an' ordi-
nance by law, rule or regulation which
would prevent, outside of urban areas,
the complete use llndalienation ,of any

'of this section, urban areas shall include

poses wnere there are eight [8] or more
residences within any quarter mile

as, have been or are planned for residen-
tial areas contiguous to incorporated cit-
ies or towns;' '
u
Trial was held without ,the intervention
of a jury, and pursuant 'to Ind.Rules' of
Procedure, Trial Rule 52, the court entered
the following findings of fact, conclusions
of law; and judgment:
. "FINDlNGSOF FACT ,
1. That George T. King and Edith R.
King are the owners in fee simple of the

: tion.
2. That Liter's Quarry, Inc., by reason

5. That the subject. real estate and all
adjoining properties within any quarter
square mile area are not located within
the boundaries of an incorporated city or
town, nor contiguous thereto.
u
6. That there ;Ire not 8 or more resi-
dem:es located within any quarter mile
, square area on the subject property.
,7. That plaintiff, Liter's, Quarr)', Inc.,
by and through its attorney, :Robert L.

Board of County Commissioners of
Clark County, Indiana, .on May 15, 1972
to request passage, of an ordinance
granting a change of zoning from agri-
culture to M-l for the subject property,
but prior to any aetilm being taken
thereon, the said Robert L. Sdinat1er, on
behalf of plaintiff, Liter's Quarr.y, Inc.,
withdrew said petition and request and
. further the said County 'Commissioners
have never since said date taken any ac~
tion regarding said withdrawn request,"
"CONCLUSIONS OF LAW
'J. That, the subject property is not lo-
cated within an urban area as defined by
Burns ~ 53'-759.
2. The subject propetiy "nd the intend-
ed use' come within the prohibition set
out in Burns ~ 53-759 and the complete
use and alienation of the .limestone at the
subject pwperty may ~ot be prevented or
controlled by ordinance, rule or regula-
tion,
3. That the defendants have no juris-
diction over the, subject matter, of this
action and the plaintiffs can not be es-
topped in this action by reason of filing
a petition and appe;tring before the
Clark Coullty Plan Commission and ap-
pearing before the Clark County Com-
missioners."
"WHEREFORE, IT IS CONSiD-
ERED, ORDERED, ADJUDGED AND
DECREED that George T.' King and

ject real estate and Liter's Quarry, Inc.,
as the alienee of the plaintiffs King,

u
pea red before defendant Board of COmmis-
sioners a!1d requested passage of aU ordi-
nance rezoning the real estate in question
from A-I Agricu1t1,1ral to ,M~l General In-
dustr,Y. However, the request was subse-
quently, withdrawn prior to alJ.y action
being taken thereon by the Commissioners.
The ilubstanceof appellant's argument is
that plaintiffs waived consideration of the
jurisdictional issue which they submitted
for determination in' the instant case by
failing to raise the issue when they ap-
peared before the Board of Commissioners.
u
'[2,3) It is conceded that as ~ g~~eral
rule, questions of subject matter jurisdic-
ti~m, may be raised at any time. State ex
reI. Standard Oil Co. v. Review Board, etc.
(1951), 230 Ind. 1,101 N.E.2d 60; Park
Improvement Co. v. Review Board, etc.
(1941), 109 Ind.App. 538. 36'N".E2d 985.
However, it is ur.ged that th~ defendants
'were possessed of jurisdiCtion ov~r the
subject matter oi the instant case and that
the issue preserited in this case, merely
turns upon jurisdiction over the particular
case. ' To this extent, we must 'agree with
appellant. Defendants clearly have juris-
diction to hear and, deter!lline cases of the
general class with which the instant case is
identified, whether that class be defined as
pianning and zoning in Clark County or
'the use of mine~al' res(Jurces generally.
Within the general class, ~ 53-759 fashions
a jurisdictional limitation in particular cas-
es-viz., those, involying the use of mineral
resources outside "urban areas."
[4] 'While questions of jurisdiction
over a particular case may be waived, we
cannot agree that plaintiff Lite!'s' request
that the Board act in' it~ legislative'capaci-
ty estopped them irom initiating this action
aiter that request was withdrawn. The in-
stant case is distinguishable in two respects
from the cases cited by appellant in sup-
,part of its ,a:rgument. Here;there has "been
no action taken by an administrative body
acting in a jU<iicIal capacity., Moreover,
there has been no agency decision to which
u
plaintiffs' action could constitute an imper-
missible collateral attack.
At this point, we note that while appel-
lant makes reference in its brief to an al-
leged appearance and petition by plaintiffs
King before defendant Plan Commission,
such tendered evidence was excluded by
the trial court. Appellant offers no ar-gu-
menithat the court erred in excluding this
evidence. Therefore, we may not consider
it in, reaching our determination.
We therefore hold that the trial court
was correct in concluding that plaintiffs
were not estopped from initiating the, in-
stant action for declaratory judgment.
ISSUE 3.
Appellant finany contends that the trial
court erred in concluding that plaintiffs'
realty is not located within an urban area
as defined by ~ 53-759, supra.
[5]' We construe the' statute as provid-
ing 'three separate definitioTls of urban
areas, these being: (1) a.ll lands or lots
within the limits of incorporated cities and
towns: (2) lands or lots' used for residen-
tial,purposes where there are' eight [8] of
more residences' within' any' quarter mile
square area; and (3) lands or lots as have
been or are planned' for residential areas
contiguous'to incorporated cities or towns.
We further construe the term "quarter
mite square area" 'as deiining'a, square one
quarter of a mne or 1,320 feet Qn each
side, rather than a square one half mile, or
2,640 feet on each side. In our opinion,
this constructio~ is more, consistent with
the appaient legislative intent tei protect a
property ownei"s right to use mineral re-
sources located on his property.
By stipulation of the parties at pre-trial
conference, definitions (1), and (3) above
have no application to the facts in the in-
stant case.
:The trial court concluded that plaintiffs'
property was not located wi,thin an urban

area as ddined by ~, 53-759. su~ra.: The

cpnclusion ,that ih~ ,c:ourtmiscons,trued ' ~
53-759. The number of r~sidences locate~
on the subjut properly within any given
quarter mUe sqUare ll,Tea is not, dispositive
of whether a1] or any part ,of the property
lies wi(hin' 'an urban,area~' The identific~-
tion 9f an orbanar~a. 35' defined by the
statute bears no relationship to the bounda-
ries of _th~ subject property. Once an ur-
ban area' has been defined, .the' positiort ,of
the subject property become's relevant 'for
the determination_ot what part, if any, of
the property falls within any established
urban' area. ' As to any part of plaintiffs'
property which' faUs within a defined .ur-
ban area, the statutory, 'limitation on de-
fendants' authority is, in,applicaiJle. How-
ever, the statutory Iim'itation'does apply as
to any part of plaintiffs' property lying
outside of any established urban area.
Therefore, upon rem~hd, it must' initially
be' determitledif any of the subject proper-
ty' and' the areas surrounding it, are urban
within the statutory definition. Once the
urban areas have',been located 'and legally
described, then the frial court must deter-
mine what part,if a~y;,of,pJai~tiffs' land
falls within the defined urban areas.
This cause is affirmed' in part, reversed
inpaft and remanded to trial court for a
determination as to whether any portion of
plaintiffs' land falls within &nurban area
pursuant to the directions'contained in this
opinion. The, ,court shall then enter 'appro-
pri~te judgment. upon the findings.,
Affirmed in part, reversed in part and

AFFIDAVIT OF REX A. WEIPER
Personally appeared before the undersign~cf notary public, duly
authorized to administer oaths, Rex A. Weiper (the "AffiantP), who, under oath,
deposes and states as follO\Ns:
1. My name is Rex A Weiper, and I am over the age of 21 years. f
have personal knowledge of the facts recited herein.
2.
u
I am a professional home builder and I am well acquainted with lot
sales, home building, home 5sles,and land use in the Carmel area
and, in particular, the Kingswood subdivision area.
3. My wife and I moved into our home at 11179 Westminster Ct.,
Carmel, IN 46033 in July 1988.
4. In July 1988, the Carmel Sand and Gravel Plant, now accessed
from Hazel Dell Parkway, was not in operation in its present
location, and, to the best of my knowledge and belief, did not exist.
5. In July 1 gSS, the lake that prQsGntly surrounds the Carmel Sand
and Gravel Plant did not exi;;t and no one was working on it to the
best of my knowledge and belief.
6. In July 1988, a substantial part of Kingswood subdivision was
planned and a substantial pert of the Wood Greek subdivision was
complete, with homes located on most tots.
7. In July HiSS, the Oal< Hill Mansion was in its original location
adjacent to the Kindswood subdivision.
8.
To the best of my knOWledge and belief the Carmel Sand and
Gravel Plant did not commence operation until after the Oak Hill
Mansion was moved.
u

u
u
-u
9.
To the best of my knowledge and belief, there was no public notice
of the commencement of the dredging of the lake east of
KingsWOod or the commencement of operation of the Carmel Sand
and Gravel Plant in its present location.
10. To the best of my knowledge and belief, the Carmer Sand and
Gravel Plant is operating without any license or permit from the
State of Indiana or the City of Carmel.
Further, Affiant saith not.

Page 1 of 1
The Mansion at Oak Hill was originally located on a 110 acre farm west of River Road on a kno
overlooking Cool Creek south of 116th Street in Carmel, Indiana. Built in approximately 1940,
house was'built for an Indianapolis entrepreneur, Gerald Canfield, who ovmed a local manufal
business. The structure was designed by well known architect, Hugh Bremmerman. It exempli
grand colonial style and has the graceful architectural features of many turn of the century sou
homes with modern dimensions. The ground floor consisted of a formal living room, gum woo
paneled library,formal dining room, a kitchen with a breakfast nook, three-car garage and a f(
entry that ran directly through the center <ifthe house to a circular drive in the backyard with.
fountain. The second floor consisted of four bedrooms and three bathrooms, in addition to the
servants' living quarters above the garage. The home totaled 7,000 square feet of lhing space.
In September 1990, 5,500 square feet of The Mansion was.moved to its present location. This.
included pulling and winching down a hill, crossing a specially-made bridge across Cool Creek
going through.a corn field, across River Road and under a power line. Once the home was set,
renovations and 10,000 square feet were added to the south end ohhe home. The Mansion fir:
reopened in April of 1992.

Re: Your Letter of December 16, 2003
Dear :Mr. Yedlick:
u
After the pre-hearing conference held on Tuesday, J1ine 22, 2004, I reviewed the arguments submitted by
Mr. Weiss and Mr. TIirasher (m their respectiVe documents submi~ed to this department on June 18, ,
2004), in consultation withlegal counsel. M, a result oftbis review, Ihave reconsidered my earlier
determination that the issue raised in your letter,should be presented to the Board of Zoning Appeals for
resolution under Section 28;06 of the Carmel Clay Zoning Ordinance, and I have withdrawn the petition
'that I previously filed with the Board which called, for a public hearing on this matter to be held on June
2~200~ '
MoreoVer, I have now made the following deterlninations under the Zoning Ordinance:
1. The Board of Zoning Appeals le.cksjurisdictionto hear the question of nonconforming use 1.II1less
and until ~s department makes a decision or determination regarding 'such' question and an
appeal of such decision, or determination is filed with the Board.;
2. The land uses that were established on Martin Marietta I s properties on or about May 17, 2002,
constituted legal, nonconforming uses; , .
3. Those uses do not appear to have been"substantially modified, expanded, or added to sinc~ May
~~~ ' .
4. Therefore, those uses remain legal, nonconfonning uses under the Cannel Clay Zoning
Ordinance which may not be substantially moditiedJexpanded, or a.dded to without a ,change of
zoning classification or Board approY3l of a special use or variance.
Should you wish to appeal. any or all of the above d,etenninations to the Board, please contact the
department and we wiUproyid~ you with the appropriate fonns and hearing schedules. If you have any
questions~ or wish to discuss this matter further, please do not hesitate to contact me at S71~2422.
Very truly yours,

The application of doctrine that citY

variance from zoning ordinance to avoid
unnecessary.hardship is not governed solely
by size of area or particular piece of prop-
erty on which such hardship is imposed and
no single factor determines what consti-
tuteS unnecessary hardship, but all reievant
factors, taken together, must indicate such
special conditions that property cannot rea-
sonably be put to a conforming use because
of limitation imposed by its classification
under ordinance to warrant variance on
such ground. Burns' Ann.Sl ~ 53--778.

This motion raised a question of the
jurisdiction of ~he . subject matter of the
particular case, which was not .waived by
the subsequent presentation of evidence by
appellant (defendant).
Twelve other reasons are stated in sup-
port of the. motion, but in view. of the con-
clusion which we have reached we s~l.
confine ourselves to a consideration. only of
the ones quoted above.
Appellant contends that since' appellee
sought only to have said ordinance declared
unconstitutional and void as it affected and
applied to its two parcels of land,- it should
have pursued and exhausted the administra-
tive remedy provided by statute and the Or-

dinance before seeking a determination' of
its rights in the..courts. .
Appelke contends that where the factual
situationdisc1oses thll:t.th~re'has been a vio-
lation of constitutional rights, or that the
exercise of the police power is clearly un-
reasonable, .or where. it' is clearly' shown
that there is .no real relation between the
ordimmce and its" professed Object, resort
may be had to the. courts to test the validity
of the. ordinance as it applies to One or
more parcels of land, without first exhaust-
'ing any administrative remedies which may
be available and adequate.
[1, 2J Appellant relies upon City of
South Bendv. Marckle; i939, 215 Ind. 74, 18
N.E2d 764, to support i"ts position.
That was also an action 'for a declaratory
judgment seeking to declare a zoning ordi-
nance of the city of .South Bend, Indiana,
unconstitutional insofar as it restricted or
related to appellee~ real estate. Appellees
there sought to use.certain real estate which
WaS zoned for, residenqal use for the pur-
pose of building a 1iIling station thereon or,
. in the alternative, to sell said property to a
purchaser to be u;sed for commercial pur-
poses. The complaint inter alia alleged that
the real estate .was not suited for residential
purposes and that its. value for commercial
tlse would be :four to SIX times.greater than
for residentiah%se: and that the ordinance
. constituted a taking of appellees' property
without just compensation in violation of
section 21 of article 1 of the'Indiana Con-
stitution, andfue Fourteenth Am~ndment to
the Constitution of the United States. .
The o'\rerruling .of appellants' demurrer in .
the Marckle case was assigned as. an i"de~
pendent error. The memorandum aCCOm-
panying the demurrer asserted that the Com-
plaint was had becaltse 'it failed to show
that any appeal was taken to the Board of
Zoning Appeals Or that certiorari '''!is re-
quested of the Circuit Court. ..
This court, at pages 82, 83 .of 215 Ind., at
page 767 of 18 N.E.2d,said;

, nndthat they are authority for the fol-
lowing rules; (1) A court will not re-
view an exercise ,of the discretionary
powers of a board of zoning appeals
, unless, of course, there is a clear abUse
of discretion; (Z) an appeal to thecir-
cuit court by way of certiorari is au-
thorized when the board has acted ille-
gally, and this is tru'e even though the
illegality arises out of a violation of the
petitioner's constitutional rights, so
long as it IS not claimed.that the entire
, zoning ordinance is invalid; and (3)
where it is claimed that the entire zon-
ing ordinance is void the remedy is not
'by resort to certk.rari, but may be as-
serted by direct action. Applying the
rules stated, itisapparent that the ap-
pellees have misconceived their remedy.
They are not concerned with a modif1-
, cation of the terms of the ordinance as
, they apply to the district in which their
properties are situated, so there was no
occasion for them to ask an amendment
thereof by the common council. They
claim only that the ordina.nce, in its ap-
plicatipn to them, is; unreasonable, in
that the classification ot their real es-
tate for residential rather than com-
mercial uses, deprives them of valuable
property rights without due process or
j~st. compensation. Their properties
a're shown to be located at the bounda.ry
of a zone district. Their case comes
within the terms ofthat part of section
48-2304 .Burns 1933, ~ n657 Baldwin's

Their complaint ,should have been di-
rected, in the first instance, t~ the board
of zoning appeals, and if that did not

in the circuit court by way of certio-
rari."

We think the rules asserted by this court
in City of South Bend ~.,Marck1e, 1939, 215

in keeping with the recognized orderly pro-

Appellee' asse;:rts that the bolding,af the
Appellate Court in Civil City of Indian-
apolis v. Ostrom: Realty, etc., Co., 1932, 9S
Ind.App. 376, 176 N.E. 246, supra, pre-
cludes its use of the administrative remedy
in the case at bar, because of the area of
the parcels of ground involved.
In that case the 'Board of Zoning Appeals
attempted, upon it,S' own motion, when no
petition for variance or a.ny apPeal from
any officer Or board, was pending before
it, to reclassify. a.nd rezone six separate
lots, comprising an 'entire dtyblock. The
Appellate Court there correctly held that
the Board had no authority" to act in the ab-
sence of an appeal from an administrative
officer or board ,charged with theenforce-,
ment of the ordinance. The court furtner
held that an attempt to amend or change a
whole city 'block without an 'ordinance by
the common council was not contemplated
by the act then in force, and such action
was, therefore, void.
We a'pprove the rule that a 'Board of
Zoning Appeals has no authority to act un.
less its autho.rity to do so has'been legally
invoked. However, vie do not b'elieve that
the language used by Judge Kime in the
Ostiom caSe to the etfectthat a Board of
Zoning Appeals cannot, under the guise of
a variance, reclassi:l'y an el1tir.e. city block,
can be adopted 'and used aSa general rule
or measuring stick, to be arhitrarily applied
in every case. a.nd under all cir<:umstances
arid conditions, for the purpose of deter-
mining what size tract or parcel of land ~ay

peals under the hardship provisions 'of the
ordinance, or to determine at what par-
ticular point it becomes a matter for amend-
ment of the ordinance by the common coun-
cil. '

, "Before the Board may exercise its
discretion and gra.nt a variance upon

the record must show that (I) the land
in question cannot yield a reasonable
return if used only for a purpose al-
lowed in that ;r:one: {2) that the plight
of the owner is due to unique circum-
stances and not to the general condi-
tions in the neighborhood which may

use to be authorized by the variance
will not alter the essential character of

We approve the rules above stated. In
view of appellee's position that the land
here in question cannot be made the sub-
ject of a variance because of its area, it
may be pointed out that the above rules
make no reference 'to the area or size of the
property which may be considered in a va-

(8) The Board of Zoning Appeals is
a.uthori:>'ed by statute to grant variances
from the terms of the ordinance where,
owing to special conditions, a literal en~
forcement of the provisions of. the ordi-'
nance, win result in unnecessary hardship,
,sp long as such action is not contrary to
the public interest and the spirit of the or-
dinance is preserved and stlbst'antial justice'
is done. Whether or' not' an unnecessary
hardship exists is a question of fact to be
determined by the Board of Zoning Ap-
peals. Board of Zoning Appeals v. Moyer

Appellee asserts that City of South
Bend v. Ma.rckle, 19,39, 215 Ind. 74, 18
N .E.2d 764. supra, is in conflict with the
hOlding of the United States Supreme
Court in Euclid, Ohio v. Ambler Realty Co.,
1926, 272 U.S. 365, 47 S.Ct. 114, 7L LEd.
303, 54 A.L.R. 1016, upon which it relies,
because the overruling by the trial court
of a motion to dismiss on the ground that
appellee had made nO effort to obtain a
building permit or apply to the Board of
Zoning Appeals for relief and, therefore,
the suit was premature, was sustained.
That was a suit to enjoin the enforcement
of a zoning ordinance and all attempts to
impose allY of the restrictions, limitations
or conditions thereof as to appellee's prop-
erty.
The attack there was directed "not
against any specific provision or provi-
sions" but against the ordinance a"s an en-
tirety." While in the Marckle case ap-
pt:lIees sought, in an action for declaratory

u
judgment, to have the ordinance declared
unconstitutional only lnsofar as it reo
- .strictedor related to the use of their real
estate, and it was not claimed tha.t the
entire ordinance was invalid:
- These caSes are clearly - distinguishable.
The Marckle case falls within rule 2 as
stated by this- court in City of South Bend
v. Marckle, 1939, 215 Ind. 74-, 82, 18 N.R.
2d 764, supra, while the Euclid case
clearly faIls within rule 3.
Appellee further relies upon Nectow v.
City of Cambridge, 19Z8, 48 S.Ct. 447, 277
U.S. 183,72 LEd. 842, where an ordinance
of the City of Cambridge, Massachusetts,
was directly attacked under circumstan<:es
and for the same reasons as are present
in the case at ibar. However, in that case
_th~ question of the failure of tbe appeilant
to exhaust the administrative remedy pro-
vided, it any, (namention of such is made
in the opinion) before resorting to (:ourt
aetion, was not raised. Hence _ it is not
authority for declining' to pursue and
exhaust the administrative remedy avail.
. able to appellee herein.
Appellee cites a number of cases in
support of its alIeg'edright to follow the
method of procedure which it has elected
:to pursue herein. Without unne<:essarily
extending this opinion by a discussion of
these a.uthorities, we believe it sufficient to
note that in some of them the question of
remedy was not an issue, in others the at-
tack was upon the ordinance - as a whole,
while others arc distinguishable because
of the factual situations upon which the de-
cision rests.
u
In some jurisdictions resort may,. under
certain circumstances, be had to the courts
for a direct 'attack upon a Zoning Ordi-
nance because of its effect on a particular
I?icce of property witbout first exhausting
any available administrative remedy. How-
ever, the factual situation here does not
prescnt such a set of .::ircumstances.
The case at bar falls clearly within City
of South Bend v. Marc;:kle, 1939,215 .Ind. 74,
18 N.E.2d 764, supra. As we- have said,
that was an action for a declaratory judg-
ment to declare the South Bend Zoning Or-
dinance unconstitutional and void insofar
u
as it restricted or related td the use of three
contiguous lots owned by appellees. There,
-as here, appellees sought only to Use their
property for a purpose different from the
use cIassification imposed upon it - by the
ordinance. They alleged, as dOcS appellee
herein, that their real estate was not suit-
able for residential purposes, and that it
wQuld 'be worth several times as much for
business purposes; and that the ordinance
constituted a taking of their property with-
outjust compensation.
The prayer for relief in the Marclde case
was that the ordihance be. declared. uncon-
stitutional in5(1fa~ as oft restricted or -re-
lated to appellees' (Marckte and otlters)
real estate, while in the case 'at bar appellee
seeks a determination of the force and
effect of the ordinance and. if any, its
effect upon the use of said parcels 1 and 2
as described- in tbe complaint. The end
result sought is the satnein both cases.
The fact that one ease .invo1ved three con-
tiguQUS lots, the dimensions of which. are
nett mentioned in 'the opinion, and the other
involves two undeveloped parcels of land
containing 8.118 and 24.244 acrcs,respec-
tively, does not, under the issues -here in-
volved, distinguish one case from the other
as a. matter of principle.-
Insofar as City' or Indianapolis v. Ostrom
Realty; etc., Co., 1932, 95 Ind.App. 376, 176
N.E. 246, supra, proposes to restrict the
area which may-be considered by a Board
of Zoning Appeals under ,the ,unnecessary
hardship rule, it is limited to the particular
circumstances of that case.
[10] The' factual s,ituation here brings
appellee's case within the prOVIsions of ~
77, of ch. 174, Acts 1947, being ~ 53-778,
Burns' 1951 ~eplacement,supra, which au-
thorizes the Board of Zoning Appeals to
vary a zoning ordinance too prevent unneces-
sary hardships which, by the provision of
the ordinance, may be imposed upon a
particular property.
In seeking a variance, under the circum-
stances herein, <lppellee should have applied
to .the building commissioner for a permit
and, if denied, then an appeal trom the
order of denial should have been prose~uted
to the Board of Zoning Appeals_ and, if

dissatisfied with the decision of this Board,
then it should have pursued the administra-

setting forth, as provided by statute, that

of the illegality. Ii the order complained
of amounted to an invasion of appellee's

the older person, with intent to arouse or
satisfy the sexual desires of either the
child or the older person, commits sexual
misconduct with a minor, a CIl1sS D felony.
However, the offense is a Class B felony if
it is committed by using or threatening the
use of deadly force or while armed with a
deadly weapon.
(c) It is a defense that the accused per-
son reasonably believed that the child was
at least si..'I.'teen (16) years of age at the
time of the conduct.
(d) It is a defense that the child is or
has ever been married.
IC g 35-42-4-9 (West Supp.1995). Thus, a
review of the history of the child molesting
statute, including the changes made which
resulted in the enactment of the sexual mis-
conduct with a minor statute, convinces us
that the Legislature did not intend to exempt
perpetrators on the basis of age.
[9] As a final matter, we note again that
the trial court dismissed all but one of the
allegations of delinquency .based upon J.D.'s
lack of consenl Consent is neither an ele-
ment to be proved in a child molestation case
nor a defense to such a charge, Thompson v.
State, 555 N.E.2d 1301 (Ind.Ct.App.1990),
trans. denied, and there is nothing in the
statute that correlates age with a perpetra-
tor's ability to consent. Nonetheless, even if
the perpetrator's consent were an element of
the offense, such "consent" could be estab-
lished by showing the required element of
criminal intenl
Based on the foregoing, we conclude that
the trial court erred in interpreting the child
molestation statute to exempt perpetrators
who are younger than fourteen years of age
at the time they commit. the molestation.
We reinstate the six allegations of delinquen-
cy against J.D. which were dismissed by the
trial court.

owner, and city, which had permissively in-
tervened. The Allen Circuit Court, Paul R.
Cherry, Special Judge, denied city's motion

summary judgment, partially granted and
partially denied o,^,lIer'smotion to vacate or-
der, and partially reversed decision of BZA,
and afterwards entered agreed judgment
based on settlement between BZA, zoning
administrator, and landfill owner. Appeals
were taken, and the Court of Appeals, Riley,
J., held that: (1) BZA violated due process
rights of owner when it placed burden of
proof, and burden of going forward, on owner
during appeal of stop work orders issued by
zoning administrator; (2) stop work order
issued by zoning administrator was imper-
missibly vague; (3) prior determination that
city had right to appeal acted as law of the
case; (4) closing of landfill did not require
dismissal of appeal; (5) fact issue existed as
to whether there had been impermissible
bias against landfill owner; (6) city was prop-
erly allowed to intervene; and (6) fact issue
had existed as to whether landfill was "build-
ing" or "structure" for purposes of county
zoning ordinance.

OPINION
RILEY, Judge.
S1'ATBMENT OF THE CASE
Appellant~Intervening Plaintiff, the City of
New Haven, Indiana ("City"), brings this
consolidated appeal of four trial court deci-
sions pursuant to two lower court cause num-
bers (02COl-9506-CP'-M2 & 02COl-9506-
CP-764) concerning the operation and exis-
tence of a landfill, owned and operated by
Chemical Waste Management of Indiana,
L.L.C. ("CWMI"). The four trial court deci-
sions at issue in this case are: 1) the denial
of City's motion for summary judgment on
six counts alleging CWMJ's violation of sev-
eral stop work orders and notices of violation
(CP-642); 2) the court decision partially
u
916 Ind.
701 NORTH EASTERN REPORTER, 2d SERIES
granting and partially denying CWMI's mo-
tion for summary judgment (CP-642); 3) the
court decision partially granting and partially
denying CWMI's motion to vacate the Allen
County Superior Court's November 27, 1995
order (CP-764); 4) the court decision partial-
ly reversing the Allen County Board of Zon-
ing Appeals ("BZA") decision (CP-764). As
cross-appellants, Chemical Waste Manage-
ment of Indiana, L.L.C., Chemical Waste
Management, Inc., Waste Management, Inc.,
and WMX Technologies, Inc. (collectively
"CWMI") raise several procedural errors
committed by the BZA and not corrected by
the trial court as well as several procedural
and substantive errors made by the trial
court.
We affirm.
ISSUES
u
The City raises several issues for our re-
view which we consolidate and restate as
follows:
1. Whether the trial court erred in rul-
ing that the BZA offended CWMI's consti-
tutional due process rights by imposing the
burden of proof on CWMI to disprove the
Zoning Administrator's allegations con-
tained in the stop work orders and notices
of violation.
2. Whether the trial court erred in
finding that a stop work order issued
against CWMI was invalid and unenforceac
ble based On vagueness. grounds.
CWMI raises several issues on cross-ap-
peal, which we consolidate and restate as:
1. Whether the City's appeal is moot
and should be dismissed because this court
has already ruled that the trial court did
not err in the entry of the agreed judg-
ment.1
2. Whether the BZA applied the cor-
rect standard .to review CWMI's appeal of
the Zoning Administrator's orders.
3. Whether the trial court erred in de-
nying CWMI summary judgment on the
issues of institutional bias of the BZA and
personal bias of a BZA member.
4. Whether the trial court abused its
discretion in pennitting the City to inter-
vene permissively in CP-642 and in hold-
ing that CWMI Was "conditionally" in vio-
lation of the stop work orders.
5. Whether the trial court erred in fail-
ing to give res judicata or collateral estop-
pel effect to the judgment in CP-308 deny-
ing the City's application for a temporary
restraining 'order against CWMI.
6. "\-I.'hether the trial court erred in fail-
ing to enter summary judgment for CWMI
fmding that there was nbt sufficient factual
information to determine whether the
landfill constituted a "structure" as a mat-
ter of law pursuant to the Allen County
Zoning Ordinance ("ACZO"), and in failing
to enter summary judgment for CWMI
that the 1974 covenants were ultra vires,
void ab initio, or otherwise unenforceable
as a matter of law.
FACTS AND PROCEDURAL HISTORY
On June 22, 1974, the ACZO was amended
to include sanitaJ.'y landfills as a permitted
use in the district of the original site of
CWMI's landfIll. CWMI's predecessor in in-
terest and then owner of the original site,
Amon Brooks (Brooks), applied fOl' a landfill
permit. The Allen County Zoning Adminis-
trator refused to issue the permit and Brooks
appealed at a BZA hearing. On September
17, 1974, the BZA reversed the Zoning Ad-
ministrator's decision and ordered the Zon-
ing Administrator to issue the permits to
Brooks. Together with the BZA decision,
Brooks agreed to a set of restrictions on his
use of the property, recorded as restrictive
covenants. CWMI acqillred ovmership of
the original site on .July.2, 1981.
A simplified version of the ensuing com-
plex procedural background was set forth in
City of New Haven v. Chemical Waste Man-
agement of Indiana, LLG., 685 N.E.2d 97
(Ind.CtApp.1997), tran:s. dismissed:

one another began on February 23, 1993,

u
when the City filed its 'Complaint to En-
force Zoning Ordinance and for Declarato-
ry Relief naming the Allen County Board
of Zoning Appeals ("BZA") and CWMI as
defendants. The City alleged that CWMI
was operating its landfill facility in viola-
tion of the Allen County Zoning Ordinance
and sought a court order for CWMI to
cease operations. During the pendency of
the City's zoning enforcement proceedings
('CP-308') [Allen Superior Court Cause
No. 02DOl-9302-CP-308J, and in response
to the trial court's initial orders in CP--308,
the Allen County Zoning Administrator
served several 'stop work orders' on
CWMl, after which time CWMI [ftled a
cross-claim against the BZA and] moved'to
join the Zoning Administrator as a party
[defendant] to the City's zoning enforce-
ment case. In addition to issuing several
stop work orders, the Zoning Administra-
tormed its counterclaim and an applica-
tion for injunctive relief against CWMI. All
parties moved for summary judgment in
CP-308. The trial court issued its find-
ings, conclusions, and order granting in
part and denying in part CWMI's motion
for summary judgment. The'relevant por-
tion of the trial court's order stayed all
further proceedings 'pemling CWMI's ex-
haustion of administrative remedies before
any administrative agenc.ies having pri-
mary jurisdiction over CWMI's land use:
CP-764
u
Accordingly, CWMI initiated an appeal
to the BZA challenging, among other
things, the Zoning Administrator's stop
work orders. During the pendency of the
BZA appeal, the Zoning Administrator is-
sued additional stop work orders, as well
as two notices of "iolation. On April 12
and 24, 1995, the EZA heard CWMJ'sap-
peal of the Zoning Administrator's stop
work orders and notices of violation. The
City appeared at the EZA hearings and
urged the EZA to affirm all of the Zoning
Administrator's orders. The BZA issued
its decisions on May 10, 1995, affIrming
some of the Zoning Administrator's orders
and reversing others.
On June 1, 1995, CWMI filed a petition
for writ of certiorari in the trial court
challenging those BZA determinations
which were adverse to CWMI ('CP-764')
[Allen Circuit Court Cause No. 02C01-
9506-CP-764]. The City ftled its appear-
ance in the certiorari case as a remon-
strator. On February 6, 1996, the trial
court issued numerous orders which af-
firmed in part and reversed in pll1t the
findings of the EZA. The' trial court certi-
fied its decision as a final appealable order
pursuant to Trial Rule 54(E). Thereafter,
the BZA, the Zoning Administrator, and
the City initiated [this] appeal of CP-764.
CP-642
During the pendency of the CP~764 cer-
tiorari case before the trial court, the BZA
fIled a verified complaint for injunctive re-
lief, damages, and attorney fees, seeking to
enforce those orders of the Zoning Admin-
istrator which the BZA had affirmed and
which were adverse to CWMI ('CP-642')
[Allen Circuit Court Cause No. 02C01-
9506--CP-642J. The BZA also sought pen-
alties against CWMI under the Allen
County Zoning Ordinance. The City fIled
a petition to intervene as a plaintiff in the
EZA's enforcement action. The trial court
granted the City's' petition and joined the
City as a permissive intervening party in
CP-642.
The parties moved for summary judg-
ment in CP-642. On February 6, 1996, at
the same time the trial court issued its
ruling in CP-764, the trial court [Paul R.
Chen'Y, Special Judge] also issued its rul-
ing in CP-642, ,granting in part and deny-
ing in part CWMI's motion for summary
judgment. The BZA, the Zoning Adminis-
trator, and the City ftled a joint praecipe
for appeal of CP-642, [which is this ap-
peal].
llgreed Judgment
On July 19, 1996, the EZA, the Zoning
Administrator, and CWMI reached a set-
tlement agreement and subsequently filed
motions in CP--308, CP-764 and CP-642
requesting the trial court to enter an
agreed judgment in each case. The trial
u
918 Ind.
701 NORTH EASTERN REPORTER, 2d SERIES
court entered an agreed judgment in each
case dismissing all claims with prejudice.
The City was not a party to the agreed
judgment.
Id. at 99-100.
As a result of the agreement reached be-
tween those parties, the BZA <lend the Zoning
Administrator dismissed their appeal of CP-
642 and CP-764. The City, now the sole
appellant, brings this consolidated appeal of
the trial court's rulings in CP-642 and CP-
764 while CWMI also brings several issues
on appeal as cross-appellant.
DISCUSSION AND DECISION
u
We will address the City's issues first.
1. Burden oj ProoJ
The City argues that. the trial court erred
in ruling that the BZA violated constitutional
due process when it imposed upon CWMI
the burden of proof and the burden of going
forward on CWMI's appeal to the BZA of
stop work orders issued by the Zoning Ad-
ministrator. Specifically, the City contends
that given the informal nature of BZA hear-
ings, the strict rules as to burden of proof
which are imposed in Judicia] proceedings
have no application. We disagree.
[1,2J The various stop work orders and
notices of violation issued by the Zoning Ad-
ministrator were allegations of violations by
QWMI of the ACZO rather than a matter of
CWMI seeking a permit, variance, or a spe-
cia] exception. In order to sustain a suit for
injunctive relief concerning a violation of a
zoning ordinance against the landowners, the
moving party must :f"Irst prove the existence
of an applicable ordinance and a violation of
that ordinance. Hannon v. Metmpolitan
Development Comm'n oj Marion County,
685 N.E.2d 1075, 1078 (lnd.Ct.App.1997).
The BZA failed to carry this initial burden of
proof. We must agree \vith the trial court's
finding that at the April 24, 1995 BZA hear-
ing session, CWMI was improperly required
to go forward frrst and bear the burden of
proving that it was not in violation of the
zoning ordinance. Instead, the burden of
proof and the burden of going forward should
have been on the Zoning Administrator to
establish that he did not act arbitrarily, ca-
u
priciously, or illegally. See Saurer v. Board
oj Zoning Appeals, 629 N.E.2d 893 (Ind. Ct.
App.1994). We find no error.
II. Void for Vagueness
The City argues that the trial court erred
in holding that the September 2, 1994 stop
work order issued by the Zoning Administra-
tor was invalid on due process and vagueness
grounds. SpecificaUy, the City asserts that
neither CWMI nor the trial court cited au-
thority holding that a stop work order must
meet a constitutionally imposed standard of
specificity. In response, CWMI contends
that the burden was on the Zoning Adminis-
trator to apprise CWMI as to the precise
facts that violate the zoning ordinance.
[3] On February 6, 1996, in the "Court
decision partially granting and partially de-
nying CWMI's motion for summary judg-
ment," the trial court refused to afford the
City injunctive enforcement of the stop work
order affirmed by the BZAbecause the order
was "too vague and general to be enforceable
because it fails' to specify what conduct or
condition on the land is in violation." (R.
3846). We agree.
The September 2, 1994 stop work order
issued by the Zoning Administrator to
CWMI states:
I do hereby order stayed all operations 011
your original 151 acres which do not con-
form to the provisions of improvement lo-
cation permit No. 12964 (dated 25 Septem-
ber 1975) and the restrictive covenants.
(R. 785).
[4J Although our research of Indiana law
has revealed no cases holding that a stop
work order must meet some constitutionally
imposed standard of specificity, we find Yater
v. Hancock County Planning Commission
instructive. 614 N.E.2d 568 (Ind.Ct.App.
1993). In that case, we held that the Plan
Commissioner had a duty to furnish specific
and concrete reasons so that developers
could comply with applicable ordinances. Al-
though that case stands for the rule that
zoning ordinances must be specillc and cer-
tain so as to apprise the property owner, we
apply that rule to violations of zoning ordi-
nances. Thus, basic constitutional due pro-
NEW HAVEN v. CHEMICAL WASTE MANAGEMENT
Cite as 701 N.E.2d 912 (Ind.App. 1998)
cess considerations about fair notice require the power to revisit prior decisions of its own
that a stop work oreler issued by a Zoning or of a coordinate court, as a rule, court<;
Administrator be reasonably specific and should be loathe to do so in the absence of
concrete so as to fairly apprise the wrong- extraordinary circumstances. Id.
doer of the specific violation.
u
u
I. Mootness
[5-9] First, we must address CWMI's
contentJon that the City's appeal is moot
because closure of its landfill has deprived
the City of any remedy on remand, and the
agreed judgment entered into by CWMI, the
Zoning Administrator and the BZA renders
moot the City's claims in this appeal. In
response, the City argues that its appeal is
not moot because this court has already ruled
on the mootness issue in City of New Haven
v. Chern'ical Waste Management of indiana,
a prior decision in this same case. We found
that:
The City's status asa. party to the lawsuit
and the judgment rendered therein does
not end merely because the original parties
decided to settle their claims and to forego
the pursuit of an appeal. Dismissal of the
suit as between the original parties does
not render moot the City's claims.
685 N.E.2d 97, 102 (Ind.Ct.App.1997). Spe-
cifically, the City contends that this ruling is
the law of the case as to the issue of moot-
ness, and effectively precludes this court
from ruling that the present appeal is moot.
Under the law of the case doctrine, an appel-
late court's determination of a legal issue is
binding in subsequent appeals given the
same case and substantially the. same facts.
State v. Lewis, 543 N.E.2d 1116, 1118 (Ind.
1989). All issues decided directly or implicit-
ly in a prior decision are binding in all subse-
quent portions of the same case. Indiana
Farm Gas Prodttclion Co. v. Southern
Indiana Gas & Elect?-ic Co., 662 N.E.2d 977,
981 (Ind.Ct.App.1996), trans. denied. The
doctrine is based upon the policy that once
an issue is litigated and decided, "that should
be the end of the matter." Lewis, 543
N.E.2d at 1118. However, unlike the rule of
res judicata, the law of the case doctrine is
not a uniform rule of law, but rather a discre-
tionary rule expressing the practice of the
courts to refuse to reopen what has previous-
ly been decided. ld. Mthough a comi has
u
Ind. 919
[10J ]n City of New Haven, this court
affirmed the trial court's ruling that the City
had satisfied the conditions of permissive
intervention because its claims against
CWMI had questions of law or fact in com-
mon with those of the BZA. Specifically, we
held that the City met the procedural re-
quirements to bring an appeal to this court
even in light of the Agreed Judgment. City
of New Haven, 685 N.E.2d at 102. However,
CWMI argues that it is free to raise the
issue of mootness in its present appeal be-
cause that issue was not previously resolved
or addressed by this court. Furthermore,
CWMI contends that the law of the case
doctrine does not apply in this case because
the doctrine only precludes subsequent litiga-
tion on the precise legal issue previously
determined. We disagree vtith CWMTs rea-
soning.
Although we did not specifically address
the issue of the mootne'ssof the City's claim
in City of New Haven, we nevertheless ruled
that the City had the right to appeal a prior
judgment "to the extent that it is adverse to
those interests which made intervention pos-
sible in the fIrst place." ld. Thus, the law of
the case doctrine does apply because we
implicitly ruled on the mootness issue in a
prior decision in this same case with substan-
tially the same facts and we will not reopen
what we have previously decided.
[11] CWM] next contends that the City
has no remedy available on remand because
CWMI received its last shipment of waste at
the facility in May 1998, the facility is effec-
tively closed, and therefore CWMI can no
longer violate. or continue to violate the
ACZO provisions. Specifically, CWMI ar-
gues that the City has no available remedy
for an alleged violation under the ACZO, and
therefore this appeal should be dismissed.
We disagree.
First, in City of New Haven, we found that
the City, as a remonstrator, had a right to
petition for review by writ of certiorari pur-
suant to Ind.Code SS 36-7-4-1000, et seq.,
u
920 Ind.
701 NORTH EASTERN REPORTER, 2d SERIES
u
which provides. for remedies and enforcement
of BZA decisions by aggrieved parties. City
of New Haven, 685 N.E.2d at 102. In partic-
ular, we held that pursuant to Ind.Code
S 36-7-4-1005(b) the City satisfied the defi-
nition of an adverse party as "any property
owner whose interests are opposed to the
petitioner. . . ." Id. at 103. Thus, we have
already determined in this case that the City
is entitled to petition for review of the BZA
decisions as an adverse party. Second,
ACZO S 3-13-4-4 does provide the City as
"any property O\~l1er" with the right to ob-
tain an injunction against CWMI. This ordi-
nance states that:
any property ovmer who may be especially
damaged by any such violation of this Or-
dinance may initiate an actiDn for injunc-
tion ... to restrain arty person or govern-
mental unit from violating or continuing to
violate any provision of this Ordinance and
to cause such violation to be prevented or
abated. (R. 3080).
Finally, CWMI contends that the City is not
entitled to a negative injunction under ACZO
S 3-13-4-3 because the words "restrain,"
"prevent," and "abate" all refer to actions of
present or future violations that cannot occur
because the facility is closed. However, the
City seeks to enforce the underlying cove-
nants prohibiting visibility of the landfill
from any existing residence as well as the
ACZO provisions limiting the existing landfill
height and requirement of permits and Spe-
cial Exceptions for landfill construction.
Therefore, the City c.an initiate an injunction
action against CWMl for alleged continued
violations of the covenants and ACZO provi-
sions. The City's appeal is not moot.
n. BZA Standat'd of Review
Next, CWMI contends that the trial court
eITed by not invalidating the BZA's decisions
because the EZA did not afford CWMI a de
novo review of the evidence supporting the
Zoning Administrator's claims of ACZO vio-
lations in the stOp work orders and notices of
violation. CWMI argues that due process
was violated because the BZA instead used
an arbitrary, capricious, illegal or contrary to
state law standard of review in hearing
CWMI's appeal of the Zoning Administra-
tor's orders. In response, the City asserts
u
that due process does not require that the
EZA provide CWMI a de novo hearing;
Specifically, the City argues that due process
of law was not contravened where the BZA
applied the standard of the ACZO Rule of
Procedure 4.01, which provides that an ap-
peal to the BZA of the Zoning Administra-
tor's decision be "on the basis of such deci-
sion being arbitrary, capricious, illegal or
contrary to state law or the provisions of the
Ordinance or the Rules." (R. 1274). We
agree.
[12] Ind.Code ~ 36-7-4-918.1 authorizes
BZA review of any order or decision made by
a zoning administrator. Furthermore, Ind.
Code S 36-7-4-919(d) prOvides: "Upon ap-
peal, the board may reverse, affirm, or modi-
fy the order, requirement, decision, or deter-
mination appealed from. For this purpose,
the board has all the powers of the official,
officer, board, or body from which the appeal
is taken." Thus, we affIrm the trial court's
finding that the BZA's decision to limit the
exercise of its power by applying an arbi-
trary, capricious, or illegal standard rather
than broadening its power by affording
CWMI a de novo hearing with the BZA
standing in the shoes of the Zoning Adminis-
trator was well within the BZA's discretion.
We find no error in the trial court's failure to
vacate the BZA decisions of CWMI's appeal
for not applying a de novo review standard.
III. Bias
Next, we consider the trial court's denial of
CWMI's motion for summary judgment find-
ing that CWMI was not denied due process
of law on the basis of institutional and per-
sonal bias of the EZA. CWMI argues that
the trial court eITed in failing to vacate all
BZA decisions on the ground that a single
member of the BZA, George W. Pond (Pond),
was biased against CWMI as well as the bias
of the entire BZA. The trial court denied
CWMI's motion for summary judgment and
found that by necessarily knowing of the bias
hut failing to timely raise the issue at three
different hearings, CWMI waived it.<; asser-
tion that the EZA was biased against it.
Furthermore, the trial court was unable to

u
participation with the Allen County Dump
Stoppers, Inc., an organization actively and
publicly opposed to CWMI's operations at
the landfill, created a reasonable basis for
doubting his impartiality.
On February 23, 1993, the City filed a
complaint against CWMI and the BZA in the
Allen County Superior Court, alleging viola-
tions of the ACZO by CWML On September
8, 1994 CWMI flied a counterclaim against
the BZA, joining the Zoning Administrator
as a party defendant. On September 13,
1994 the Zoning Administrator filed a coun-
terclaim against CWMI but the BZA contin-
ued to defend itself against CWMI's claim
rather than affirmatively filing a complaint,
cross-complaint, or counterclaim against
CWML CWMI now claims that the BZA was
biased because it was in litigation against
CWMI at the same time it was ruling on
CWMI's appeal of the Zoning Administra-
tor's allegations of ACZO violations. Howev-
er, as the trial court pointed out, CWMI
failed to raise the issue of bias with the BZA
due to its litigation with CWMI at any of the
BZA hearings on April 12 and 24 and May
10, 1995. Thus, the trial court ruled that
CWMI waived its claim that the BZA was
biased against it at the April 12 and 24 and
May 10, 1995 hearings because CWMI "can-
not initiate a legal claim in a lawsuit against
the BZA (September 8, 1994) then later pur-
sue zoning appeals and requests before the
BZA (April 12 and 24 and May 10, 1995) and
then later (on Odoberll, 19(5) fIrst raise an
allegation of bias by the BZA yet having at
all times necessarily known of these circum-
stances of which it fIrst complains in late
1995." (R. 3833).
CWMl's second claim of bias is that the
trial conrt erred in failing to invalidate all of
the EZA proceedings because a biased BZA
member participated in any of them. In
1995, Pond was a board member of the Allen
County BZA and also a member of the Allen
County Dump Stoppers, Inc. Prior to the
initial BZA hearing on April 12, 1995, CWMI
registered three written objections to Pond's
participation in the BZA hearing. However,
Pond still participated as a member of the
BZA in the April 12 hearing and then re-
cused himself prior to the next BZA hearing
LJ
on April 24, 1995. CWMI now argues that
the trial court should have concluderl that
Pond was biased against it, thereby tainting
all BZA proceedings, and therefore the COluot
should have invalidated all of the BZA pro-
ceerlings relating to CWMI. The trial court
was "unable to determine whether as a mat-
ter of law Pond had a conflict of interest and
whether as a matter of law a reasonably
objective person would have a reasonable
basis for doubting [Pond's] impartiality and
therefore CWMI's motion for summary judg-
ment is denied as to this issue." (R. 3835).
[13-17] Due process in administrative
hem"ings requires that all hearings be order-
ly, judicious, fundamentally fair, and conduct-
ed before an impartial body. McBride v.
Board of Zoning Appeals of Evansville-Van-
derburgh .4rea Plan Commis.~ion, 579
N.E.2d 1312, 1315 (Ind.Ct.App.1991). This
requirement means that agency members'
decisions may not be swayed by preconceived
biases and prejudices. R-ipley County Board

board member participates in a decision, the
decision "vill be vacated. ld. Nevertheless,
because a zoning board is a body usuaJIy
composed of persons without legal training,
courts are reluctant to impose strict technical
requirements upon their procedure.
McB?ide, 579 N:E.2ci at 1315. Furthermore,
in the absence of a demonstration of actual
bias, we will not interfere with the adminis-
trative process. Ripley Cty., 663 N.E.2d at

In the case at hand, we are reviewing
decisions by the trial court that CWMI
waived its assertion of institutional bias by
falling to timely raise the issue and the exis-
tence of genuine issues of material fact as to
Pond's impartiality. The issue on appeal is
whether denial of summary judgment against
CWMI on the issue of hias was in error.

ment is to terminate litigation for which
there can be no factual dispute and which can
be determined as a matte!' of law. Brown v.

judgment our standard of review is the same
as that used by the trial court: whether
there is a genuine issue of material fact and
whether the moving party is entitled to judg-
ment as a matter of law. Webb 'V. Jarvis, 575
N.E.2d 992, 994 (Ind.1991). On review, we
may not search the entire record to support
the judgment, but may only consider that
evidence which has been specifically desig-
nated to the trial court. Irvine v. Rare
Fel'ine Breeding Center, Inc., 685 N.E.2d
120, 123 (Ind.Ct.App.1997), trans. denied.
The party appealing the trial court's grant or
denial of summary judgment has the burden
of persuading this court that the trial court's
decision was erroneous. Id. A summary
judgment determination shall be made from
any theory or basis found in the evidentiary
matter designated to the trial court.
Ind.Trial Rule 56(C). Thus,!Jur standard of
review is limited to determining whether the
trial court's decision to deny summary judg-
ment to CWMI is erroneous, and we must
affmn on any theory supported by the judg-
ment.
u
[22] In the case at hand, because of the
existence of genuine issues of material fact
before the court, the trial court was unable to
find as a matter of law that either the entire
BZA or Pond, as a member of the BZA, was
biased against CWMI. Specifically, the court
found that the record was silent as to what
extent Pond was a member of the Dump
Stoppers organization and whether his asso-
ciation ",,>jth the Dump Stoppers affected the
BZA proceedings. Additionally, the court
found that CWMI waived its assertion of
institutional bias because it necessarily knew
of the circumstances of bias but continued
litigation mthout raising the issue. Thus, on
the basis of the lack of designated evidence
and our deferential standard, we cannot say
the trial cow.t's denial of summary judgment
against CWMI on the issue of bias was erro-
neous.
u
IV. Abuse oj Discretion
A. Intervention
First, CWMI argues that the trial court
abused its discretion in allowing the City to
intervene permissively in, CP-642, the en-
forcement action of the stop work orders and
notices of violation, Specifically, CWMI. con-
tends that the City failed to show any issues
of fael or law in common with the main
action because the City merely duplicated
the BZA's and the Zoning Administrator's
complaint.
[23-26] Pursuant to Ind.Trial Rule
24(B)(2), an applicant may be permitted to
intervene in an action when the applicant's
claim or defense have a question of law or
fact in common with the proceeding and in-
tervention will not prejudice or unduly delay
the adjudication of the rights of the original
parties. On appeal, the trial court's determi-
nation on a motion to intervene is only re-
viewable for an abuse of discretion. Heri-
tage House of Salem, Inc. v. Bailey, 652
N.E.2d 69,73 (lnd.Ct.AppJ995). In review-
ing the trial court's exercise of discretion, the
facts alleged in the motion must be taken as
true. Id. To constitute an abuse of discre-
tion, the trial court's decision must be clearly
against the logic and effect of the facts and
circumstances before the court or reasonable
and probable inferences to be drawn there-
from. Developmental Disabilities Residen-
tial Facilities Council v. Metropolitan Dev.
Comm'n of Marion County, Ind., 455 N.E.2d
960, 965 (Ind.Ct.App.1983). Further, it is
well settled that where the effect of granting
a motion to intervene would open up new
areas of inquiry or raise unrelated issues, the
motion should be denied. Heritage House,
652 N.E.2d at 74.
[27] On June 26, 1995, the City filed a
petition to intervene in the action of the
Allen County BZA seeking injunctive relief
to rectify zoning violations found by the BZA
to exist in its affirmance of certain stop work
orders issued by the Allen County Zoning
Administrator. In support of its motion, the
City asserted that it had a direct interest in
the enforcement of local zoning against
CWMI and it must be permitted to intervene
to protect its interests. On October 16, 1995,
the trial court granted the City's motion to
intervene, finding that the City's claims have
questions of law and fact in common mth the
BZA and intervention will not unduly delay
or prejudice the rights of the original parties.
We must agree v.>jth the trial coru"t in permit-
u

Cileas 701 N.E.2d 912 (Ind.App. 1998)
ting the City to intervene permissively in this order based upon the condition of the ulti-
case. We find no abuse of discretion. mate validity of the stop work order on ap-
peal. We find no error.
u
B. Conditional Violation
Next, CWMl argues that the trial court
abused it.s discretion in conditionally fmding
that CWMI was in violation of the stop work
orders between February 6 and August 30,
1995. Specifically, CWMI contends that the
w-ial court could not find CWMI in violation
of the stop work orders because the trial
court already concluded that the stop work
orders and notices of violation issued during
this period were unenforceable because of
the BZA's improper placement of the burden
of proof on CWMI. However, pursuant to
ACZO 3-13-3-3, the trial court conditionally
found that between February 6, 1995 and
August. 30, 1995, CWMI was in violation of
the February 6, 1995 stop work orders.
Further, the trial court denied the Zoning
Administrator's motions for summary judg-
ment on four' counts "because CWMI's ap-
peal of the February 6, 1995 stop work or-
ders and notices of violation has not yet been
legally determined by the BZA and presently
the appeals pending before the BZA and the
stop work order mayor may not ultimately
be upheld as valid and enforceable by the
BZA." (R. 3882). Therefore, CWMI's argu-
ment is misplaced because the trial court had
not yet ruled upon the validity of the Febru-
ary 6, 1995 stop work order and CWMl is
arguing about the validity of the September
2 and 9, 1994 stop work orders that were
already determined to be invalid and unen-
forceable.
[28] Pursuant to ACZO 3-13--3-3, a deci-
sion by the Zoning Administrator to issue a
stop work order may be appealed to the
BZA. "However, the decision of the Zoning
Administrator to issue a stay order shall
remain in effect during the pendency of the
appeal, and thereafter unless modified or
revoked by the Board.... A violation of
such an order issued by the Zoning Adminis-
trator .. shall be considered a violation of
this ordinance." Thus, CWMI was required
to obey the stop work order until there was a
judicial determination of its legality on ap-
peal. The trial court properly found that
CWMI was in violation of the stop work
u
V. Res Judicata/Collateral Estoppel
CWMI contends that the trial court eITed
in refusing to give res judicata or collateral
estoppel effect to rulings on preliminary in-
junction in the Allen Superior Court case
CP-308. Specifically, CWMl argues that the
requests by the BZA and the City for injunc-
tive relief for GWM:I's refusal to adhere to a
stop work order were barred by res judicata
because t.he Zoning Administrator and the
City had alre<idy sought. injunctive relief in
CP-308 on several occasions with the judge
denying those requests. In CP-308, the
BZA, Zoning Administrator and the City
pursued claims against CWMl seeking judi-
cial injunctive enforcement of the September
2 and 9, 1994 stop work orders by seeking
the issuance of a TRO. Further, in the Allen
Circuit Court case CP--642, the BZA, Zoning
Administrator and the City sought judicial
injunctive enforcement of the February 6,
1995 stop work order. However, the trial
court judge rejected CWMl's res judicata
and collateral estoppel arguments, finding
that in CP-308, the judge "denied an applica-
tion for a t.emporary restraining order
against CWMI ,for no sUited reason other
than to maintain the status quo that existed
prior to the filing of the applicat.ion which
decision was not a decision on the merits of
the case." (R. 3859). Further, the court
concluded:
that the issues of whether non-compliance
with an Allen County Zoning Administra-
tor stop work order constitutes a violation
of the Allen County Zoning ordinance ...
have not been fully litigated on the merits
in [CP-308] and therefore [the BZA, Zon-
ing Administrator and the City] can raise
and argue these issues in this case because
the doctrines of res judicata and collateral
estoppel do not. bar them from doing so.
(R. 3860).
[29,30] The law of res judicata is well-
established in Indiana. It operates to "pre-
clude litigation regarding matters which have
already been litigated. . .. [A] judgment on
the merits is an absolute bar to a subsequent

terlocutory orders is that the case is not fully
developed before the case proceeds to a final
hearing on the merits. Id.
[31] In this case, the trial court properly
found that res judicata or collateral estoppel
did not apply because the trial on the merits
in CP-308 had not yet been held when the
Superior Court judge denied the TRO and
ordered "all pending requests for injunctive
relief consolidated with the trial on the mer-
its in this cause of action." (R. 3859).
u
VI. Summary Judgment
A. The Landfill: A Stmcture
as a Matter of Law?
[32] Next, CWMI argues that the trial
court erred in denying it summary judgment
on the "height" stop work order, since as a
matter of law, the landfill is not a "building"
or a "structure" under the ACZO. Specifical-
ly, CWMI contends that no reference to facts
was necessary and the court needed only to
examine the language of the ACZO to deter-
mine that CWMI's landfill was not a struc-
ture. However; the trial court'found that it
was without sufficient factual information to
make a determination whether CWMI's land-
f"ill units in fact exceeded 75 feet in height
and constituted structures. Further, no-
where does the record of proceedings estab-
lish that the landfIll operations exceeded 75
feet in height other than the Zoning Adminis-
trator's stop work order. Thus, because gen-
uine issues of material fact existed, the trial
court denied CWMl's motion for summary
judgment on the height limit stop work or-
der.
On February 6, 1995, the Zoning Adminis-
trator issued a stop work order against
u
2. The 75 foot height issue concerns landfill oper.
ations called "residual management units" or
"cells" which are multiple ,layers of waste inter-
CWMI alleging that the Adams Center
Landfill Phase III operations exceeded 75
feet in height, thereby violating the ACZO.2
ACZO ~ 3-8-1-1 provides;
No building or structure shall be erected,
altered, enlarged, or reconstructed to ex-
ceed the height limit established for the
District where such building or structure is'
located, as follows .., I-I, 1-2, 1-3, 1-4
. , 75 feet.
(R. 3850).
ACZO ~ 3-2-2-2 defines "building" as:
a structure having a roof supported by
columns or walls designed, built or used
for the enclosure, shelter or protection of
persons, animals, chatlels or property.
(R. 3850). We must agree with the trial
conrt that the Phase III landfill operations
do not fit this definition. ACZO ~ 3-2-2-2
defines "structure" as:
Anything ,~_onstructed or erected with a
fixed location on the ground, or attached to
something having a fIxed location on the
ground. Among other things, structures
include buildings, mobile homes, walls,
fences, billboards and poster panels, and
pools.
(R. 3850). CWMI argues that as a matter of
law, ACZO S 3-8--1-1 does not apply to its
landfill operations because it is not a building
or a structure. Specifically, CWMI asserts
that ACZO S 3-2-2-2 defines a sanitary
landfill as "a method of disposing of refuse
on land .... ," and thus the landfill is not
constructed with a fixed location on the
ground, rather it is the ground.
Summary judgment IS appropriate when
the designated evidence demonstrates that
there is no genuine issue of material fact and
that the moving party is entitled to judgment
as a matter of law. Ind.Trial Rule 56(C).
The purpose of summary judgment is to
determine litigation about which there can be
no factual dispute and which can be deter-
mined as a matter of law. Ho'Well v.

u
summary judgment is clothed with a pre-
sumption of validity and the losing party
bears the burden of proving that the trial
court erred in its deternrination of summary
judgment. ld. When revie\ving a motion for
summary judgment, we stand in the shoes of
the trial court, applying the same standard
utilized by the trial court, and we resolve any
doubt as to a fact, or an inference to be
drawn therefrom, in favor of the party oppos-
ing summary judgment. Id. Summary
judgment is inappropriate if we must weigh
conflicting evidence to reach a decision, or if
there are conilicting inferences which may be
drawn from undisputed facts. National City
Bank, Indiana v. Sh01iridge, 689 N.E.2d
1248, 1250 (Ind.Ct.App.1997).
In this case, the City argues that the trial
court did not err in denying CWMI's motion
for summary judgment since, as a matter of
law, the landfill cells are "structures." In
the designation of materials upon which it
relied in opposition to CWMI's lllotion for
summary judgment, the City cited evidence
supporting the conclusion that the landfill
cells were structures. In particular, the City
designated: CWMI plans, diagrams, and bro-
chures showing landfill cells as structures,
CWMI's testimony at a BZA hearing de-
scribing the landfill cells as structures, and
CWMJ's description of the cells as elaborate-
ly engineered and constructed. On the other
hand, CWMI argues that its attorney consis-
tently maintained \Jefqre the BZA that its
landfill was not a "structure" as defined un-
der the ACZO, even submitting a brief to the
BZA urging dismissal of the height stop
work order because the landfill was not a
structure. Further, CWMI argues that
CWMI's reference to aspects of the landfill
as "constructed" is not an admission that any
part of the landfill is a "structure." Thus,
the trial court properly denied CWMI's sum-
mary judgment because there were genuine
issues of material fact and conflicting evi-
dence. We agree 'Nith the trial court that
summary judgment was inappropriate.
B. 1974 Covenants
[33] CWMI next contends that the trial
court erred in failing to enter summary
judgment in its favor that the 1974 cove-
nants were ultra vires, void ab initio or oth-
u
erwise unenforceable. Specifically, CWMI
argues that the trial court erroneously decid-
ed that CWMI's predecessor in interest him-
self proposed the 1974 covenants, therefore
equitably estopping CWMI from challenging
them. Further, CWMI argues that the trial
court erred in concluding that CWMI was
judicially estopped from challenging the 1974
covenants because. CWMI had previously ac-
knowledged the validity of the 1974 cove-
nants.
The foIlowing is the factual background of
the 1974 covenants. On July 19, 1974, Amon
Brooks (Brooks), then the owner of the origi-
nal site, flied an application with the Allen
County Plan Commission for the construc-
tion, operation and occupancy of a landfill on
the original site. On ,Iuly 22, 1974, the Allen
County Zoning Administrator refused to is-
sue a permit for the use proposed by Brooks,
and Brooks appealed this decision to the
EZA. On September 18, 1974, the BZA re-
versed the Zoning Administrator's denial and
ordered the Zoning Administrator to issue
the permits sanctioning construction and op-
eration of a sanitary landfi.ll on the original
site. This reversal and order to issue per-
mits to the landfill was contained in a pub-
lished and recorded document agreed to by
the EZA and Brooks, and included several
requirements to be included in the deed of
conveyance from Brooks to his successor as
covenants running with the land. On Sep-
tember 18, 1974, the BZA granted to the
Zoning Administrator the power to enforce
the 1974 covenants. On Febl"Uary 6, 1995,
the Zoning Administrator issued against
CWMI a stop work order alleging several
violations of the 1974 covenants. On May 10,
1995 the BZA affirmed and upheld certain of
the alleged violations of the 1974 covenants.
On February 6, 1996, the trial court denied
CWMI's motion for summary judgment on
the February 6, 1995 stop work order and
the BZA's affIrmance of notices of violation
regarding the 1974 restrictive covenants,
finding that there. existed no genuine issue of
material fact regarding the validity of the
1974 covenants running with the land. In
particular, the court found that CWMI's op-
erations on the original 151 acre site re-
mained subject to the site-specific 1974 cove-
u
926 Ind.
701 NORTH EASTERN REPORTER, 2d SERIES
u
nants as well as the ACZO in effect an July
19, 1974 when Brooks. suhmitted his permit
application to the BZA Further, the court
found that CWMI was precluded from chal-
lenging the vaUdity of the 1974 covenants
because it failed to timely pursue a certiorari
action within thirty days of September 18,
1974, and that CWMI had previously ac-
knowledged in court proceedings the validity
of the 1974 covenants and the right of the
Zoning Administrator to enforce them.
We must agree 'With the trial court in
denying CWMl's motion for summary judg-
ment regarding the stop work orders and
notices .of vialation in connection ;vith the
1974 cavenants. The covenants were not
ultra vires or unenfarceable as a matter of
Jaw. In fact, there is substantial evidence in
the record to support the finding that
CWMI's 151 acre site remained under the
1974 cavenants voluntarily entered into by
Brooks. As we stated above, when reviewing
a motion for summary judgment, we stand in
the shoes of the trial caurt, applying the
same standard utilized by the trial court, and
we will resolve any conflicting inferences
from undisputed facts in favor of the non-
moving party. In this case, the undisputed
facts reveal a conflicting 'inference of whether
Brooks voluntarily agreed to the restrictive
covenants. However, there is substantial ev-
idence in the record to support the conclu-
sion that Brooks agreed to the covenants and
that they ran with the land to remain in
effect upan CWML
CONCLUSION
In conclusion, we find that the trial court
did not err or abuse its discretian in its
ruUngs of CP--642 and CP-764, the City's
appeal is not moot, and the BZA did apply
the correct standard to review CWMI's ap-
peal .of the Zoning Administrator's stop work
orders.

3.
In September 1993, the Carmel Sand and Gravel Plant (the

operation in its present location, and, to the best of my knowledge
and belief, processed raw aggregate sand and gravel that was
delivered to it pursuant to a dredge that was working in the quarry
now surrounding the Plant.
4. In the Fall of 2002, the dredge that had operated in the quarry
surrounding the Plant was parked on the lake shore and the tubes
that connected it to the Plant were disconnected.
5. To the best of my knowledge and belief, no more sand and gravel
aggregate has been taken from the quarry east of Kingswood and
processed at the Plant since the Fall of 2002.
6. During the spring of 2003, I was informed by John Tiberi of Martin
Marietta that the plant was being used to process sand and gravel
from their Noblesville site in order to have material to keep it

:Mr. Michael Hollibatlgh
Department of Ccnnmunity Semces
City of Carnlel
One Civic Square
Cannel, IN 46032
RE: J.etter from Thomas C. Yedlick
Dear Mike:
This is in response to :Mr. Yedlick's letter to you of December 16, Z003. in which- he
asserts that certain activities carried on by Martin Marietta Materials, Inc. (''Martin ~etta") 'on
its Cmmel S and and Gravel site do not comply with the Carmel/Clay Zoning Ordinance.
Your letter of June 11, 2004,' asks Martin Marietta to address questions "regarding the
processing elf' outside materials a:nd whether that importation constitutes an lmIawful expansion
of use." The short answer is that there is an Indiana Court of Appeals case on point that is
contrary to :M:r. Yedlick's "S01.1rCe" of materials analysis. It rej eots a. change in source as a change
in or expansion of a nonoonfomrlng 'Use. In light of this case and the other matters set forth
her~ we do not believe there is anything for the .Board of Appeals to address. Thus, we
respectfully ask that Mr. Yedlick's inquiry be dismissed. .
We lire also compelled. to comment on. why Martin Marietta. must currently import
material from its Noblesville site. The original plan, of COU11ie~ was for Martin. Marietta to mine
Mueller North and relocate its plant to the east side of Hazel Dell Parkway. It thought it had
Kingswood's support in that endeavor~ As you know, however, that support evaporated and
Martin Maril~tta's application was turned down. Had it been approved, Martin Marietta's plant
would have been moved. it would be mining the Mueller North property, and this issue would
neverbave arisen. Indeed, Martin Marletta would probably be within five years or so of being
through with mining, sand and gravel on the Mueller North property and would be moving the
dredge and implementing some plan to make the resulting lake an amenity for all concerned.
Likewise. if local circumstances bad not interfered with the consideration of Martin
Marietta's other applications, including its subsequent application for e,. special use permit on
Mueller North, the plant would have been moved and:Mr. Yedlick's issue would never have
arisen.
Instead, Martin Marietta now must bring this material in from Noblesville, at a cost of
several dollars per to~ solely so that it can preserve an area east of H~el Dell Parkway for the

relocation 0 f its plant site, as the Kingswood neighborhood has requested. I think you know the
effort Martin Marietta haz made to preserve that plant sitet but it could end up all being for
nothing iftbfl YedlickfKingswood position were to prevail. In that event, Martin Marietta wOllld
have little choice but to miDc the plant site east of Hazel Dell Parkway. John Tiberi has said on
many occasi.ons that he does not want to do th~ and his decision to bring material in 'at great
cost to Martin Marietta shows his desire to presexve the plant relocation option despite actions by
Kingswood neighbors that make mining that area its only realistic option. We hope that aU
involved 'With this, especially the Kingswood community, Ullderstandthe implications of Mr.
Yedlick's position.
If the Kingswood neighbors now move to keep Martin Marietta from bringing in material
to continue its aggrega.te business on this siteJ that will make it'c]ear that IdngswClod places little
value on preserving the plant site east of liazel Dell and its real intention aU along bas been to
put tbis comp~y out of business. lithe neighborhood no longer values that optio~ there is little
reason for :Martin Marletta to do so~especially as it costs several million doUars for Martin
Marietta to implement iL Martin Marietta will continue to do all in its power to preserve the
option of relocating the: J)lant, but at some point there win simply be no other reasonable option.
That will be an unfortunate result.
u
Mr. Yedllck's Claim
According to Mr. Yedlick's letter, the Carmel/Clay Zoning Ordinance allows Martin
Marietta to process sand and gravel taken from its site under what Mr. Yedlick describes as the
"alienation otmineral resoUrces:" .
Specifically, when Carmel Sand is completing th.e alienation of mineral resources from
its property. i.e. from' the Cannel Sand location, then clearly this is alienation of mineral
resources. However when existing plant facilities are converted. to processing sand and gravel
from other loca.tions, it fails the source test. Thusiprocessmg sand and gravel from other
locations cannot be considered alienation of mineral resources.
Mr. Yedlick further statcsJ nit is clear that when the processing of sand and gravel follows
the extraction of these mineral resouxces, the processing can be considered as an intragal (sic)
part of the 'complete use of ali~tion of my mineraI resourees.11I
Thus, to paraphrase:Mr. Yedlick, JY!artin Marietta is entitled to process sand and gravel
extractea from the Carmcl site. but cannot bring materials in from my other location and process
them there.
u
Mr. Yedlick is correct that processing is an integral 'Part of the business of extracting and
selling sand and gravel at. the Carmel Sand and Gravel location. He is incorrect, however, that
processing is limited tomateriaI obtained on site.
We also note that :Mr. Yedlick's premise that Carmel Sa:nd and Gravel is a non-
comoIlIling use is incorrect. Section 28.1.6 of the Carmel Clay Zoning Ordinance expressly
. . \.
.'
June 18,2004
Page 3 of6
u
provides that uexisting \1ses eligi.ble for special use approval shall not be considered legal non-
confonnmg uses nor require special use approval fur continuance. . . ." Martin Marietta's uses
are th.us correctly analyzed as existing, pei:mitted uses, and not as nOIl-conforming uses. That
alone is tfason to dismiss Mr. Yedlick's complaint, premised as it is on an inconect
understanding of the ordinance.
u
Furt:ler, even if MI. Yedlick were correct and this matter presented a nonconforming use
question, be would mn be WIong as to his conclusion. Mr. Yedlick's .premisf; albeit an incorrect
one, is that processing and extraction are separate uses. Irthat were'so, Section 28.1.2 sayS that
:Martin Marl etta could change to a110ther legal nonconforming use Dithe same restriction.
Ertraetion and Sale of -Sand and Gravel Indndes PrOCesSh12
The Cannel zoning' ordinance does not cOntain a definition of mineral extraction, or
mining and quarrying. However, Section 20B.2 contains the following special use: "Mineral
extraction operations including san~ grave~ soil, aggregate and all related processing
operations." We als9 note that the mining regulation ordinance previously adopted by the City
of Carmel expressly defined mining to include pIOcessing~ as does the new ordinance currently
under considetation. These proposed and present ordinances recognize that the use of the
property is for mining puryoses and that processing is simply one of the activities that make up
the use. It is not a separately defined use itself. Indeed, the Carmel Zoning Or(HnA"~e does not
contain a listing for processing as a separate "use" in any district. We thus agree with Mr.
Y edlick's cO:J.c1usion that processing is a part oithe use conducted on the site.
" '
The Source of the Material Is Irrelev3bt
.Mr. Yedlick's letter is grounded on the assumptiOll that a Imvfu1 use of land can ~omehow
become unlawful because the materials processed and sold on it are ,not sourced from the land
itse~ but rather come from elsewhere. Mr. Yedlick cites no Indiana. authority for this
proposition End Indiana law is. in fact, to the contrary. .
In Day v. Ryan. 560 N.E.2d 77 (Ind. App.~ 1990). the landowners were engaged in
fanning activities. Among other things, they dealt in livestock, and at some point began bringing
in livestock that were not raised on their propeny. Later, the activities expanded yet again to the
point that the landowners were effectively operating a stockyard.business. Some neighbors then
complained, arguing that both the operation of the stockyard business and the sale of RTliTnAlc: that
had not been-raiSed on site, were unlawful. As:Mr. Yedlic:k does here. they complained 1hat the
sale of livestock raised elsewhere cbangedthe underlying, use to something other than its
pennitted agricultural use. The Court of Appeals explicitly rejected that contention, holding that
the .'trading ot livestock raised elsewhere. . . . did not wor~ a tranSformation of the basic
agricultural nature ofllie Ryans' use of the property."
.
.'
u
Likewise~ in another case,' Cooper v. Calandro. 581 N.E.2d 443 (Ind. App., 1991), an
owner of a septic tank company wanted to put waste from his business on his farm. rather than
having to P~~{ to dispose of it. He argued that the spreading of this waste as fertilizer was an
u
June 18~ 2004
Page 4 of6
agriculmral use, but bis neighbors argued that it wasn't because the waste came from off site.
Once again; the Court of Appeals held that the source of me :material was irrel.ev8Dt~ and that the
use was agrIcultural.
In this eas~ the use of Martin Marietta's Cannel Sand and Gravel property is for the
extraction. processing and sale of sand and. gravel. Each of those is a component of the use
known as mining and is, therefore, a.part of the use. There is no requirement that each and every
component I)f a use be carned on in order for other components of the use to be allowed. Indeed,
were this a !:i.te where blasting had been done to extract materials, one can envision the neiShbors '"
being thrilled that extraction (blasting) was no longer being done. The elimina.tion of one aspect
of a use do~s not change tbe use.
Martin Marietta Has Acquired Statuto"" and Contra.ct Ri2hts that Entitle It to Continue
Its Uses
Mr. Yedlick's letter fails to take into accmmI tho I;onsiderable rights Martin Marietta
acquired by virtue of its status as a lawful use under Ie 36...7~4--1103, the agreement entered into
between the:: City and Martin Marietta in connection with Hue! Dell Parkway. and the
subsequent Kingswood agreement.
U1
You will recall that, prior to 20001 the Carmel Sand and Gravel operation was located
entirely outside of Carmel.s municipal boundaries. During some or all of that time it was
outside an Ulban area. It was subsequently annexed into the City of Cmnel. The predecessor to
10.36-7-4-1103 was Ie 18...7MS-61) which prohibited a local government from interfering ''by
Jaw. rule .or regulation. . .outside of urban area!!, [with] the complete use and alienation of any
m.in:eral resources. . . . by the owner or alienee thereof." The Indiana Court of Appeals made it
- plain in UhI v. Liter's QUarry oflndi,g Inc., 384 N.E.2d 1099 (Ind. App. 1979), that when a
quarry is outside an urban area it has the right to engage in any activity furthering the Ilcomp lete
use and alienation of any mineral resourcesl1 on its property. There is 110 requirement that its
uses be broken down into princi~a1 or. accessory, as nothing related to the complete use and '.
alienation of the mineral resources can be prohibited, no matter how characterized.
The f.actthat local gcrvermnents have subsequently beell authorized by statute to regulate
quarries i:n flood plains does not affect this result Hamilton County did not enact any regulation
applicable to the quarry, flood plain or otherwise, that would have divested it of any riglrtg prior
to the annex&ion of the Carmel Sand and Gravel property by the City of Cannel. Hence, when
Carmel tooi that Fmperty into its j1.IIisdiction it was with aU of the. rights that had acaued to
Martin Marietta prior to annexation under I.e. 36,:,7-4-1103. Thoserlghts~ by definition,
included everything re]atingto "complete use and alienation" ofminera1 resources, including the
processing ofmatenaI. As Day v. Ryan makes clear, the source oftbat material is irrelevant.
~
'.~
I
u
MarLin Marietta was careful to protect its rights in its various agreements with the City
_ and with the Kingswood neighborhood. For example, in the 1997 Hazel Dell agrccrn.ent, the
City 'racknowledge[d] that [M:artin Marietta] ~1 continue to conduct mining operations on all of
its remaining real estate in Clay Township. . . _II Furthert the City undertook a broad obligation
...... .. ...-
,
u
June 183 2004
Page 5 of 6
not to "initl ate any proceeding or take any action, or participate in any proceeding or action to
limit, prohibit or restrict (Martin Mariena's] mining opern.tions or the operations of the related
industries on [MartinM:n1etta's] real estate whatsoever3 includin& but not limited to nuisance or
. trespass. n The tCl'I'It proceeding was defined to include "civiI~ GIiminals $Inm1T1;strative or
inveSti.gativ.~" proceedings and "formal or iniormaP' matters. Importantly, these undertakings by
the City we:-e covenants that expressly ran with the land imd a breach of them may thus have far-
reaching consequences.
. .
The Hazel Dell agreement also acknowledges the City's desire to annex certain teal estate
then owned by American Aggregates. The City expressly agreed., however, that such
"annexation shall not divest American of its mining rights. . . . n
In the subsequent May 2002 agreement betWeen Martin Marletta, the City and
Kingswood, among others, the City expressly "recogrrlze[d] ~ha.t the uses now established 011 the
Martin property. . . constimte legal non-confo:rmmg uses." There is no question that aU of the
activities in which Martin Marietta is currently engaged on this property, including sand md
gravel extraction, processing,. stock piling, sa1~ and alIrclated Operations. were being conducted
on the property at the time. It is also worth noting that Kingswood made the same
representation.
u
ill li,ght of the above referenced )ndiana code provision and the various agreements
between MfIl1:in Manetta, the City and Kingswood, the only question that can be raised is
whether the importation of material to the site is somehow a change m use. The decision in Day
v. RYan makes it plain that processing and sale of materials is not made a different use or activity
simply because the roate:r.ial comes from a different location. This is consistent with the general
role that a change in the way a particular non-conforming use is carried out does not alter i~
statuS unless the change is so ftmdamental as tQ alter the underlying nature of the use.
CONCLUSION
Martin Marietta acquired broad rights while it was operating in a rural area before
annexation. Those broad rights include all operations relatin,g to the complete use and alienation
ofits minera.lresource8D including processing of those resources. Martin Marietta was careful to .
pr~serve those rights in. its various agreements with the City of Cannel and to make some of
them run with the conveyanc~ ofits property to the City. Indiana case law makes it clear that its .
rights are no11ost because it importS some material to its site tor processing.
We trust that the foregoing responds adequately to :Mr. Yedlick's letter.
u
Lastly, as we have conveyed many times to yo~ as well as to representatives of the
Kingswood Neighborhood Association, Martin Marietta remains committed to working towards
a mutually acceptable resolution of all pending issues. !hat resolution would, by its very nature;
acknowledge the concerns of the KinGSWood NeighboThco~ as well as legitimate rights and
interests of Iv.!artin Marietta. Our aliempts to meet with representatives of the Kin,gswood
Homeowners Association have been rebuffed on several occasions. Nonetheless, we will

Re: Your Letter of December 16,2003
Dear Mr. Yedlick:
u
After the pre-hearing conference held on Tuesday, June 22, 2004, I reviewed the arguments submitted by
Mr. Weiss and Mr. Thrasher (in their respective documents submitted to this department on June 18,
2004), in consultation with legal counsel. As a result of this review, I have reconsidered my earlier
detennination that the issue raised in your letter should be presented to the Board of Zoning Appeals for
resolution under Section 28.06 of the Carmel Clay Zoning Ordinance, and I have withdrawn the petition
that I previously filed with the Board which called for a public hearing on this matter to be held on June
28, 2004.
Moreover, I have now made the following determinations under the Zoning Ordinance:
1. The Board of Zoning Appeals lacks jurisdiction to hear the question of nonconforming use unless
and until this department makes a decision or detennination regarding such question and an
appeal of such decision or determination is filed with the Board;
2. The land uses that were establi~hed on,M:artin Marietta's properties on or about May 17,2002,
constituted legal, nonconforril:ifug9ses;( . . p', .... .'
3. Those uses do not appear to have beet s'ubs.tanually m~difieH: expandedj' or added to since May
2002; and
4. Therefore,.those uses remain legal, nonconforming uses under the Carmel Clay Zoning
Ordinance which may not be substantially modified, expanded, or added to without a change of
zoning classification or Board approval of a special use or variance.
Should you wish to appeal any or all of the above determinations to the Board, please contact the
department and we will provide you with the appropriate forms and hearing schedules. If you have any
questions, or wish to discuss this matter further, please do not hesitate to contact me at 571-2422.
Very truly yours,

I represent the City of Carmel, Indiana. This letter serves as the City's response to your fonowing request.
Request:
U
"Any building permit for Martin Marietta and .American Aggregates for Thrasher, Busrunann,
Griffith & Voelkel.'"
Response:
Your request is denied to the extent it does not identify with reasonable particularity the documents
you seek. Moreover, the. City's records, especially prior to 1996, are not such that I am confident that
copies of all building permits issued by the City from its creation forward were kept. Subject to the
above, your request is granted to the extent it seeks building permits issued between January 1, 1975
and July 12, 2004. These records, if any exist, should be available for your review and copying (at
SO.05 per page) in my office during nomla] business hours on and after 1 :00 p.m. on July 28,2004.

I represent the City of Carmel, Indiana. This letter serves as the City's response to your following request.
Request:
"Any pernlit issued to Martin Manetta and any permit issued to American Aggregates for anything."
(....)esponse:
Your request does not identify with reasonable particularity the documents you seek. Moreover, the
City's record-keeping, especially prior to 1996, was not such that I am confident that copies of all
permits issued by the City "to anyone" were retained. Finally, the City has already granted your law
firm's following requests regarding permits:
1. "All permits issued to Martin Marictta Materials, Inc. andlor American Aggregates,
Inc. between January 1,1975 and June 24,2004"
2. "Any building pennits for Martin Marietta and American Aggregates"
3. "The building permits of the enclosed (57) addresses"
For these reasons, your request is denied. The city reserves all rights and defenses that may exist
under IC 5-14-3 or otherwise as regards this request.

Response:

This request, as written, does not contain a time frame. As with your previous request, however, I
will presume for purposes of this response that you are requesting any relevant Department of
Community Services or Department of Community Development documents dated between January
1, 1976 and the date of your request. The City denies your request as it pertains to "other
proceedings," as this language is too vague and does not identify with particularity the document(s)
you seek. Subject to the above, your request is granted and copies of such documents will be made
available for your review and copying (at $.05 per page). I anticipate that the City will be able to
review the thirty (30) years of documents identified in your request and identify any relevant
documents contained therein within five (5) working days. Therefore, the same will be made

RE: Your Written Document Request of June 29, 2004
Dear Mr. Thrasher:
I represent theCity of Carmel, Indiana. This Jetter serves as the City's response to your following request.
Request:
"ALL NOTICES OF CODE VIOLA nONS, INFRACTIONS, NUISANCE COMPLAINTS AND SIMILAR
CORRESPONDENCE TO MARTIN MARIETTA MATERIALS, INC. AND/OR AMERICAN AGGREGATES
we. BETWEEN JANUARY 1, 1975 AND JUNE 24, 2004; AND ALL DOCUMENTS RELATING THERETO,
U INCLUDING RESOLUTION OF SUCH MATTERS"
Response:
Your request, to the extent it asks for "similar correspondence" and all documents "relating thereto," is
too vague and do not identify with reasonable particularity the records you seek. This portion of your
request is denied. The "documents relating thereto" portion of your request may also encompass attorney
work product, personal notes, internal memoranda or deliberative material generated for decision-making
purposes that are exempt from mandatory disclosure under Indiana Code 5-14-3-4 but nonetheless
"related to" other documents you seek. Your request is denied as regards these exempt documents also.
Subject to the above, your request is granted and copies of disclosable documents relevant to your request
will be made available for your review and copying (at $.05 per page). I anticipate that it will take a
minimum of ten (10) working days to review the thirty (30) years of documents at issue and to identify
therein any disclosable documents relevant to your request. Therefore, I anticipate that such documents
should be available for your review in my office during regular business hours on and after 1 :00 p.m. on
Wednesday, July 14, 2004. Please bring cash, in denominations of $20.00 or less, to pay for any copies
you wish to make. Pennies cannot be used to pay for copies. If you have any questions, please contact
me directly..
