RE: POSSIBLE ZONING ORDINANCE VIOLATION – LAND USE
Dear Mr. & Mrs. Polokoff:
This letter is being provided to inform you that our department has recently received some
concerns regarding 3834 Earhart Dr., in Clay Township, a property listed under your ownership.
This property is currently zoned residentially (S1), which does not permit for business operations to
be run from the property. The only standards that permit for a business to be run from a residential
property are the Home Occupation standards of §25.18 of the Carmel Zoning Ordinance (see
enclosed).
The nature of the home occupation standards is to allow a home business to operate with NO
visible evidence or impact upon the property’s residential character. Activities such as the daily
arrival of employees violates these regulations.
A site inspection was performed of the property on March 2, 2005. On that occasion no
discernable exterior evidence of a violation of the Home Occupation Regulations was observed.
Please understand that the failure to abide by the conditions of the Ordinance could result in
enforcement action. Please feel free to contact me at (317) 571-2672 if you have any comments or
questions. Thank you for your cooperation.
Respectfully,
Kevin Brennan
Code Enforcement Inspector
