' Docket No. 08110009 UV: Brunson & Co Office
he applicant seeks the following use variance approval: Appendix A: Use Table --
Office uses in residential district/building. The site is located at 501 East 116~h
Street and is zoned R1/Single-family residential. Filed by Michael Godfrey and Kumiko
Brunson, owners.
Mike Godfrey presented for the petitioner. He was accompanied by his wife Kumiko
Brunson. We have areal-estate business, currently our home office is on 96th St. just
east of Westfield. We are in a fortunate situation in that our business is growing, which
is interesting in this kind of economy. We have been fortunate in Carmel and in
Hamilton Country who have been good to us. I don't now how many of you have this
information (blue folder). But in here we are requesting a use variance for a second
property that we are either going to sell or open a second branch office in. That area
needs a little refreshing right now. We bought the property 2 years ago, went
completely through, inside and out, remodeling it by a building permit that we got from
Carmel. We have tenants in it currently. We don't think it is a good use for the property.
We have 4 new sales going on as of last year and half so our property on 96~h is getting
cozy. This would be an asset to the immediate neighborhood. We think it is more
appropriate for it to be used as light commercial or small office as opposed to
residential. We don't believe it would draw resident occupants. So we request the use
variance.
Joanie Clark, Vectren Energy- Are you going to be adding any more load to it?
Mike Godfrey - No all the rehab is completed in fact we are not even going to ask for a
sign at this point.
Joanie Clark, Vectren Energy- No Further Questions.
Greg Hoyes, Hamilton County Surveyor's Office- Have no objections to the use
variance.
Nick Redden, City Engineers Office- Should-have received an email on Jan 6`h about
the situation that needs to be taken care of before we will support the use variance.
Mike Godfrey- and I may have that with me; you want to recap that quickly.
Nick Redden-I believe it had to deal with the right of way
Mike Godfrey- the eng. Had requested that we agree to a future release of the
easement of what will be the north end of the property
Nick Redden- yes
Mike Godfrey- we have no objection, which is fine, I e-mailed Gary Duncan to see if
there were any steps or something to sign but at this point we have lost communication.
So if someone could please let us know the steps we need to take to commit to that.
Chris Ellison, CFD-What is the Square Footage? Any structural additions?
Page t of 1
Mike Godfrey- 1800 total Square Feet. We took an attached two car garage and made
it into a large office space which will not be adding to the physical existing foundation
plan.
Chris Ellison- I have no further questions
Scott Brewer, Urban Forestry- W e talked about certain landscape plans, no objection
to land use variance, once use change I would need you to submit a plan
Mike Godfrey-absolutely, just let us know what you would like us to submit.
Steve Volumber, Duke Energy- IPL territory, no comments.
Ryan Hartman, CTRWD- Do you know how many employees will be occupying the
space?
Mike Godfrey- No more than 6 total
David Littlejohn, DOCS - We spoke on the phone about the letter I sent you. I think as
part of a resolution with our engineering office we can discuss the path with them.
Christine Barton-Homes, DOCS- To eco Nick and David we do need to get the right of
way taken care of. Lately the BZA has been tabling issues that have things that are un-
resolved;just cc me on the a-mail to get resolved prior to the hearing. You should get
our department report sometime later this after noon. No further comments.
