Petitioner: Guilford Commons, LLC
FINDINGS OF FACT DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS VARIANCE
1. The approval of this variance will not be injurious to the public health, safety, morals and
general welfare of the community because:
The requested variances will allow for the legal subdivision of land underneath homes that are already
approved for construction. The development's overall design has previously been reviewed and approved
by Cannel's Plan Commission and Carmel's Technical Advisory Committee and has been found to be in
compliance with the zoning ordinance.
2. The use and value of the area adjacent to the property included in the variance will not be
affected in a substantially adverse manner because:
The development as previously approved was found to add to the overall character of the neighborhood
and increase property values. The sale price of the homes within the subject development are
significantly higher than any of the adjacent neighborhoods and will therefore increase value in the area
rather than diminish value.
3. The strict application of the terms of the Zoning Ordinance to the property will result in
practical difficulties in the use of the property because:
The ordinance, as written, does not afford the Developer the right to plat the development into individual
lots even thought a Development Plan (DP) was previously approved by the Carmel Plan Commission.
Without approval of each of the proposed variances the Developer will be unable to plat the Tots
underneath the homes to be constructed, so the units will then be sold as condominium units.
IT IS THEREFORE the decision of the Carmel/Clay Board of Zoning Appeals that Development
Standards Variance Docket Nos. 09090003 V, 09090005 V, 09090006 V, 09090007 V, 09090008 V, and
