Background Information: Excerpt from Nov. 19 TA
Minutes:
DOBOSIEWICZ Would l to see a direct connecting walk to the pool house not through
the parking lot.
WERTH: Just o ne?
DOBOSIEWICZ: Considering the small size of the parking lot you may e xtend it a couple
of feet for bette maneuverability and I will need a copy of the revised
p lan.
BREWER: Do you have a copy o f the site with the dimensions?
WERTH: We will get that to you.
DOBOSIEWICZ: Do you have site lighting?
WERTH: Only on the bathhouse.
DOBOSIEWICZ: I would suggest the light fixture flush 90- degree cut off.
CROSBY: The landscape buffer, the fifteen feet (15') buffer we can calculate the
trees and move them around?
DOBOSIEWICZ: The fifteen feet (15') is a set back,and the parking is behind the set back.
The plantings between the parking, street and the e of the pool do not have to be in that area..
Analysis:
The pool would prov an amenity and a recreational activity for the neighborhood. The
location of the pool and poolhouse is in a common area, and will become an amenity and
11
focal meeting point in the neighborhood. The Urban Forester stated that a revised
landscape plan would be submitted.
Findings of Fact: SU
1.) The Special Use in the Flood Plain District, Ordinance Z -160, Section 21.6 as
amended does not apply and all prerequisites have been met by the Petitioner
as verified by:
The site plan does not show the property in a flood plain.
2.) The Special Use will be consistent with the Character and the Permitted
Land Use of the Zoning District and Carmel/Clay Comprehensive Plan
because:
While the Comprehensive Plan does not address the estate residential areas, the
low- intensity residential area policy states that these areas should be served by
and accessible to: parks or playgrounds and schools and bicycle and/or
pedestrian trails... (Comp. Plan, pg.5 -5).
3.) The Special Use is physically suitable for the land in question because:
The poolhouse and pool are physically suitable for the site because it is in a
common area, so that residents may enjoy an amenity in the neighborhood.
4.) The Special Use will not be injuriously or adversely affect the adjacent land
or property values because: The poolhouse and pool will increase or keep
property values the same, since the proposed use is an amenity to the
neighborhood.
5.) The Special Use will not adversely affect vehicular or pedestrian traffic flow,
nor the adequate availability of water, sewage, or storm drainage facilities or
police or fire protection because:
The poolhouse and pool will not affect the availability of facilities. All utilities
already exist.
6.) The Board has reviewed the requirements of the Ordinance Z -160, Section
21.3 (1 -25) as they relate to this Special Use, and does not find that those
criteria prevent the granting of the Special Use:
The site plan has been reviewed, and the meets all requirements for a pool and
poolhouse, except a commitment of a lifeguard and the pool being a minimum of
2000 square feet in area.
Recommendation:
The department recommends positive consideration of Docket No. SU- 114 -03 -03 with
the following condition:
1.) Letter stating a commitment to have a lifeguard and that the pool will
be at least 2000 square feet in area.
