Executive Summary
We are seeking the following variances so we can build an
attached villa on the lot located at the South East corner of
Cornell Ave North and East 105 Street in Indianapolis, IN
46280 (parcel number 1713120103003000) that would fit
into our potential plans to develop a PUD that would
incorporate several of the surrounding lots. In its current
state the lot has front setbacks on two sides of the lot
reducing the area on which to build. We are asking the
board to allow us to have a 10' set back on the front yard
along 105 street and also a 10' setback on the front yard
along Cornell Ave. We are also requesting a variance to
allow us to build a 2 story attached villa with 536 SF of first
floor space per unit (the total per unit SF is 1074 including
both 1 St and 2 nd floor).
Thank you for your consideration.

CARMEL /CLAY ADVISORY BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS
CARMEL, INDIANA
Docket No.: 09110004 V, 09110005 V
Petitioner: Leopold Building Group
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:
Are intention is to build a nice attached villa (2 units) on the lot that should improve the area
and add to the overall aesthetics of the neighborhood. Resulting in an increase in the property
values of the surrounding homes.
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:
We will be adding villa units that can be replicated across the street creating a sense of space.
Which should affect the area in a very positive way.
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 current front setbacks on the property (two front yard setbacks (because it's a corner lot))
limit the buildable area on the lot that would allow us to build the attached villa units that we could
replicate on the adjacent lots under a new PUD.
