H. Public Hearing:
Ih. Wingate Inn (V- 93 -99)
Petitioner seeks a Developmental Standards Variance of Section 6.4.1: Maximum
Height to increase the height from 25 feet to 49 feet. The site is located at 1460
West Main Street. The site is zoned S -2 /Residence within the U.S. 31 Overlay
Zone.
Filed by Philip A. Nicely of Bose McKinney Evans for Meridian Hotel Partners
Steve Granner, zoning consultant with Bose McKinney Evans, 8888 Keystone
Crossing, appeared before the Board representing Meridian Hotel Partners LLC. The
petitioner is requesting approval of a height variance in connection with the development
of a hotel property located at the northeast corner of 131 Street and North Meridian.
Also in attendance was John Smeltzer, attorney with Bose McKinney,
A Church is currently located to the east of the property. The Church has sold all of their
property and plans to demolish the present structure and build a new Church one block
s:\BoardolZoningAppeals\Minutes\baz2000mar
east of the existing building. Larry Hannah and Steve Hilbert, church parishioners, have
purchased the ground from the church and intend to build an office park between the new
church site and the Wingate Inn site.
The property is within the U.S. 31 Overlay Zone; the underlying zoning is S -2. A hotel is
a permitted use in the Overlay Zone. The building materials will consist of brick and
dryvit, four stories, approximately 49 feet in height. The site plan complies with all
requirements of the Overlay Zone with the exception of the height requirement in the S -2
zone. The overlay zone has a 25 foot height minimum; the underlying zoning has a 25
foot maximum. The existing zoning would mandate the construction of a building
exactly 25 feet tall.
The petitioner is requesting approval for a hotel of four stories. It is believed that the
height is consistent with what the Plan Commission would like to see in this corridor.
Without the requested variance, any structure on this site would have to be exactly 25 feet
tall and two stories in height. The petitioner is requesting approval of the height of the
four -story structure at this time.
Members of the public were invited to speak in favor or opposition to this petition. No
one appeared and the public hearing was closed.
Laurence Lillig reported that the Department recommends favorable consideration of this
petition. The Department requests that it be made clear by the Board that any favorable
consideration of this petition shall not be intended as a message to the Plan Commission
to influence their decision regarding the DP /ADLS petition currently being considered on
this site.
In response to a request for an update, Steve Granner stated that the Overlay Ordinance
has language in it that references the Loch, Muehler report that proposed the upgrade of
U. S. 31 to an interstate status and provided for certain interchanges and overpasses at
certain locations. The petitioner submitted his plans to the State in January and is
currently seeking clarification as to whether or not the proposed construction impacts the
State's roadway plans.
Leo Dierckman moved for the approval of Docket No. V- 93 -99, although approval
should not have any undue influence on the Plan Commission's actions. APPROVED 4
in favor, none opoposed.
2h. Rod Busters, Inc. (U &V -2 -00) TABLED TO APRIL
3h. World Wide Motors (SUA -7 -00)
Petitioner seeks Special Use Amendment (ZO 14.2) approval to construct an
8,244 square foot, two -story expansion of a previously approved (SU -6 -94)
35,630 square foot auto dealership. The site is located at 3900 East 96 Street
within the Bauer Commercial Park. The site is zoned B -3 /Business.
s:\BoardolZoningAppeals \Minutes \baz2000mar 2
Filed by James J. Nelson of Nelson Frankenberger for World Wide Motors,
Inc.
Jim Nelson, 3663 Brumley Way, Carmel, appeared before the Board representing World
Wide Motors and its president, Horst Winkler, also k present. World Wide Motors owns
and operates a Mercedes dealership at 3900 East 96 Street in Bauer Commercial Park in
the southeast part of Carmel.
The petitioner is requesting an amendment to the previously approved Special Use to
permit a two -story addition to the existing, enclosed service /reception area. Construction
has begun on a single story addition to the enclosed service /reception area and is in
compliance with the Zoning Ordinance. Once construction began, it was determined that
it would be better to add a second story to the one story addition. The increase in square
footage beyond the permitted 10% necessitates an approval by the Plan Commission.
The building materials are consistent with those existing on the principal building and are
of the same color scheme.
Members of the public were invited to speak in favor or opposition to the petition; no one
appeared and the public hearing was closed.
Laurence Lillig reported that the Department is recommending favorable consideration at
this time.
Earlene Plavchak moved for the approval of SUA -7 -00, World Wide Motors.
APPROVED 4 in favor, none opposed.
NOTE: items 4h. and 7h. were heard together.
4h. University High School of Indiana (SU -8 -00)
Petition seeks approval of a Special Use under Section 5.2: Permitted Special
Uses in order to establish a School of General Secondary Education on 86.75
acres. The site is located southwest of the intersection of West 116 Street and
Towne Road. The site is zoned S -1 /Residence.
Filed by Chuck Webster of University High School of Indiana.
7h. University High School of Indiana (V- 12 -00)
Petitioner seeks a Developmental Standards Variance of Section 5.4.1 in order to
construct a 45 foot tall classroom/gymnasium building. The site is located
southwest of the intersection of West 116 Street and Towne Road. The site is
zoned S -1 /Residence.
Filed by Chuck Webster of University High School of Indiana.
Dave Coots, attorney at 255 East Carmel Drive, Carmel, appeared before the Board
representing the applicant. Also present were Chuck Webster of the University High
School; Mr. Bigler of Olde, McGuire Schook; Bill Riggert; and Brad Yarger.
s:\BoardolZoningAppeals\Minutes\baz2000mar
The parcel is located on the south side of West 116 Street, Towne Road is its eastern
boundary, the southern boundary is the King's Mill Subdivision and the western boundary
is a vacant piece of property owned by the Perlemans.
The surrounding uses are zoned S -1; directly across the street is property owned by the
Carmel/Clay Parks Department that will be developed this summer into a recreational
park.
Neighbors with the Kingsmill Subdivision are concerned about the proposed use.
However, some of the information circulated indicated that this application was a Rezone
rather than a Special Use. A secondary school is a permitted, Special Use in an S -1 zone
classification. The ordinance sets out the criteria that the Board of Zoning Appeals looks
at to determine whether or not this particular Special Use meets the criteria to be
approved by the Board. At the time the Ordinance was written and included this property
as S -1 zoning, the use of the property as a school was contemplated and permitted,
assuming a special use was approved. The applicant is not seeking to change any
underlying zoning or seeking to locate a facility in a neighborhood that doesn't already
qualify or exist. Farther south on Towne Road is the new elementary school that will
open this fall. That particular school is located to the east of the Kingsmill Subdivision
and slightly to the south of the University High School entry off Towne Road. The
University High School also has access from 116 Street.
Initially, University High School expects to have 40 students in the fall at the temporary
facility planned. Overall, the campus is a 10 year build -out project. Construction on the
main campus will begin in two to three years, phased -in construction; academic facilities
first, followed by performing arts and gymnasium. The northwest corner of the site (the
old Reily Farm Implement dealership) will house the gym and multi purpose classroom
facility and is the subject of the height variance. The existing residence on site will be
retained and will become a part of the school for temporary purposes. To the south
(behind) the multi purpose classroom building will be portable structures to be used
during the first two to three years until the main body of the school is constructed. The
temporary facilities will then be abandoned and the main campus will be utilized.
The petitioner is requesting that the Board approve the Special Use for the entire 86 acre
parcel. The Special Use is to be established within one year, and the campus will be
built -out probably over a 10 year period.
The petitioner has complied with requests made by the Technical Advisory Committee in
regard to drainage, and roadway improvements in conjunction with Hamilton County
Highway Department. There will be two points of access; the main access aligns with the
Park access to the north and includes accel/decel lanes. The main parking area is off the
main entrance at 116 Street. The parking on the parcel to be constructed first complies
with the ordinance, one parking space per employee, and 10 parking spaces per
classroom.
s:\BoardolZoningAppeals \Minutes \baz2000mar 4
The building height and setbacks meet or exceed the Ordinance except for the 45 foot
gymnasium height requested. The contemplated height of the gymnasium is 40 feet,
however 45 feet is being requested in that there may be some modifications to the size or
height of the building that would necessitate the 45 feet being requested by variance.
The front side and rear yards are buffered; the trash and material storage is internal.
There is a tree farm that the Reilys planted at the northwest corner of the site that will be
used for buffering. Initially, the west property boundary will be buffered; the ultimate
construction will also be landscape buffered according to the commitments submitted to
the Department of Community Services and to the Board. The landscape commitments
require that before any construction of a permanent nature takes place, the petitioner will
submit an architectural design, lighting, landscaping and signage application to the Plan
Commission at the time approval is requested to construct permanent facilities. The
petitioner has made the following commitments: To construct sidewalks on adjoining
property boundaries when an overall sidewalk plan for the area is available; to install and
maintain bufferyard design along the east, south, and west borders, according to the
Carmel Clay Plan Commission bufferyard design; and to not oppose annexation.
In regard to drainage, there will be an on -site, storm water detention area that will detain
water during heavy rain periods and release at a slower rate. The site accepts water from
the park site to the north. The water flows under 116 Street, comes across the high
school site and into the storm detention area along with water from the school site itself.
The drainage has been designed to accommodate water so that the ultimate drainage
outflow is no greater than it exists today.
Chuck Webster, 2894 Wooded Glen Court, Indianapolis, 46268, head of University High
School, addressed the Board and gave a brief history of the school and its origin. Mr.
Webster stated that he is from Michigan and came to the area last December to start the
school. The project started over three years ago; the Board was composed of parents with
children at Sycamore, St. Richard's, and Orchard, K -8, independent schools. There were
not enough openings in independent schools to get high school placements. A
demographic study was done; the need for independent schools will be intense in the next
5 to 10 years. The program is designed to have develop /mentoring relationships between
staff members and students so that the students can learn to hold themselves accountable.
There will be some students on the Board of Trustees and hiring committees for staff.
The entire project will be $25 million. It is certain that there is demand for this project
and there is a lot of positive feedback regarding fundraising. It is hoped that there will be
25 to 30 students in the fall; the second class will probably be around 40; and the third
freshman class could be 70 to 80 students. Eventually, the school enrollment will be 400
with 100 students per class; the time frame to achieve this enrollment is probably 7 to 10
years.
Dave Coots commented that Carmel Junior High School occupies 35 acres with 1466
students; Clay Junior High occupies 76 acres with 1259 students; Carmel High School
consists of 88 acres, including the athletic compound north of 131 Street, and has an
enrollment of 3263 students.
s:\BoardolZoningAppeals\Minutes\baz2000mar
Brad Yarger, Traffic Consultant, 1401 Alamingo Drive, Indianapolis, addressed the
Board and highlighted the traffic report that was submitted to the Board. The traffic
study covered an area on 116 Street from Shelborne Road to Ditch Road, and on Towne
Road from 106 to 131 Street. Mr. Yarger stated that the traffic generated from the high
school does not produce any different lane geometry at any of the major intersections,
excluding the driveways. The traffic study for the high school was prepared utilizing the
Village of WestClay as a background. The number of students triggers certain roadway
improvements; if there are more than 50 students, there is a need for a passing blister. If
there are more than 150 students, there will be a need for a full, left turn lane into the
school, and two lanes exiting the facility -less than 150 students only requires one exit
lane.
Dave Coots commented that the petitioner is working with the County Highway
Department who will be improving 116 Street this summer.
Members of the public were invited to speak in favor of the petition; no one appeared.
Members of the public were invited to speak in opposition to the petition; the following
appeared:
Kevin Gartenhaus, 3350 Shore Drive, Greenwood, Indiana, owner of Lot 97 in Kingsmill
Subdivsion, appeared before the Board and expressed the following concerns: The
Gartenhaus' property line is located closest to one of the facilities on the high school
property (about 20 yards from one point on the track and field.) Mr. Gartenhaus
presented a petition with 17 names in opposition to the high school. There is no
Homeowners Association for Kingsmill as yet. Mr. Gartenhaus stated that there are three
lots owned by individuals whose property abut the school property and they have signed
the petition; the other 8 lots adjacent to the school are currently owned by the
builder /developer. Mr. Gartenhaus stated that he had spoken with Mr. Webster of the
school and they do have good intentions. There is a walking path around the field that is
5 to 10 yards from the Gartenhaus property; there is also a storm detention pond that is
close to the Gartenhaus lot. Mr. Gartenhaus was opposed to the variance that would
allow the gymnasium to be 45 feet high. There are tennis courts and a parking lot
approximately 40 yards from the Kingsmill northern property line. Mr. Gartenhaus was
also concerned about noise that would accompany sporting events and band practice,
light spillage for athletic events in the evening, the security factor given the proximity of
the walking path, increased automobile traffic in the area, the safety factor as it relates to
the location of the storm detention pond, and property values. In Mr. Gartenhaus'
opinion, to allow the high school at this location would be contrary to the Comprehensive
Plan. Mr. Gartenhaus asked that this petition be denied or at the very least, not approved
this evening to allow the high school an opportunity to address issues stated.
Brad Donaldson, 11500 Towne Road, Carmel, Indiana, stated he was basically in favor of
the petition but opposed to the initial drawings in terms of the eastern boundary of the
school property and the buffer between his property and the School. Mr. Donaldson's
s:\BoardolZoningAppeals\Minutes\baz2000mar
western boundary is 300 feet along the school property and 900 feet along their inlet.
The drawing does not show any buffer. Lighting is also a concern.
Jim Fish, 11550 Towne Road, stated he was in favor of the overall project. The school
will benefit the area, but development needs to be in a planned, organized fashion. Mr.
Fish commented that there are definitely some issues with existing lots surrounding the
project -the properties need to be protected as much as possible.
Dave Coots' rebuttal. Before anything can be done with the campus itself, the petitioner
would go before the Plan Commission with Architectural Design, Landscaping, Lighting,
and Signage. Most schools do not have this type of review, but in an effort to be a good
neighbor, the petitioner is willing to submit to this review. The population of the school
will come from the community, and the petitioner has no intention of not working with
the area residents and their concerns. Approval is not being requested this evening of the
drawing presented by Mr. Gartenhaus. This is a 10 year process and there will probably
be changes. The issue before the Board is whether or not the petitioner has met the
criteria to establish the use of this property as a school. The 45 foot tall gymnasium is
more than one quarter mile away from the northern boundary of Kingsmill Subdivision.
There may be additional screening, buffering, or mounding requested when the petitioner
appears before Plan Commission, but the issue of building height will not have an impact
on the Kingsmill property owners.
In regard to other issues, the petitioner is not opposed to negotiating a buffer if the
location of the track 75 feet from the boundary is a major concern. The Plan Commission
does possess the ultimate hammer in that if the petitioner does not satisfy concerns
expressed by the area residents, they can refuse to grant approval for the permanent
facility. Most schools are not fenced to allow adjacent residents ready access to
playground areas.
In regard to property values, there are different opinions within the real estate field as to
whether or not a school devalues single family residence structures. The proposed school
is not a change in the zoning, it is a permitted, special use in an S -1 zone according to the
Comprehensive Plan.
Mr. Webster reported that according to the engineer, there will hardly ever be standing
water in the retention pond. The school agreed to purchase the land in December 1998.
Within 60 days, the rough, conceptual plans were done. All 19 Homeowners Association
presidents were called together to meet at Shapiro's, the homeowners were then invited to
meet at the Zionsville Presbyterian Church to view the first set of plans. Mr. Webster
stated that he had called Mr. Gartenhaus and asked for a meeting. At the end of that
meeting, Mr. Webster suggested that the School would get back to him within 4 to 6
weeks regarding his concerns. The School's process from the start has been to consider
the neighbors; Mr. Webster and his family intend to reside on the property and they
would like to have the best possible relationship with the neighbors.
s:\BoardolZoningAppeals \Minutes \baz2000mar 7
Laurence Lillig asked that a copy of the exhibit and petition given to the Board be made
available for the Department's file. The commitments submitted by the petitioner do not
recite the Docket numbers correctly. There is also a typographical error in the Findings
of Fact. At this time, the Department is recommending favorable consideration of both
petitions.
There were procedural questions from Board members regarding commitments from the
petitioner.
Leo Dierckman asked that the petitioner commit to a building height of 40 feet for the
gymnasium. Jack Bigler, design architect, 6030 Evanston Avenue, Indianapolis,
responded that they are in process of coordinating the HVAC system within the
gymnasium and the size of the HVAC system may require that it go from 40 to 42 feet.
There is a flexibility factor with 45 feet in height.
In response to questions from Mr. Dierckman, a continuance would be appropriate;
however, because of the circumstances of fund raising, etc., the 30 day delay will cost
construction time. Therefore, the petitioner is asking that the 45 foot variance be
considered with the representation that it will be less than 45 feet.
The petitioner is willing to commit that the variance will apply only to the building on the
northern part of the site. None of what the petitioner seeks this evening, other than the
establishment of the use, affects the "southern" campus. Also, the Board would look to
the petitioner for a commitment on the maximum number of students. Mr. Coots stated
that the petitioner is willing to commit that the number of students will not exceed 500; in
the event the petitioner wanted to increase the number above 500, the petitioner would
again appear before the Board of Zoning Appeals for a review of the Special Use
Application.
Kevin Gartenhaus stated his understanding that at present, there is no Kingsmill
Homeowners Association. Kingsmill Corporation runs the homeowners association until
such time as the development is complete; then it would be turned over to the
homeowners.
Pat Rice closed the public hearing at this time.
NOTE: There was no representative in attendance from Kingsmill Corporation for the
Homeowners Association, either in favor or opposition to the University High School
project.
In response to questions regarding the plans for phase I after the completion of phase II,
Chuck Webster explained that the plan is two -fold. It is to be a community resource for
residents of the community; it will also be an auxiliary gymnasium. At the time the
permanent classrooms are constructed, the portable building "will be history."
s:\BoardolZoningAppeals\Minutes\baz2000mar
Leo Dierckman asked if the petitioner were willing to commit to a 50 foot buffer around
all property lines. Dave Coots responded that the commitment tendered by the petitioner
adopts the City's bufferyard standards. Dave Coots asked if there were something about
this particular use in an S -1 zone classification that would necessitate something more in
the way of buffering than Cherry Tree Elementary has done for the benefit of the adjacent
property owners or Carmel High School or the Carmel Public Library.
Michael Mohr asked if Mr. Gartenhaus was opposed to the school at this location or
opposed to the way the campus is laid out. Mr. Gartenhaus stated he would not be
opposed if his lot were farther south in the Kingsmill Subdivision. The primary concern
is as an adjacent property owner and the situation of his lot backing up to what the school
has laid out. Mr. Gartenhaus did not like backing up to the field (or the layout of the
campus.)
Earlene Plavchak expressed concern that the rendering shown would not be the final
layout of the campus. Ms. Plavchak felt that it might be more appropriate to consider
buffering and mounding at a later time when the school is in a financial position to be
responsive to landscaping requests.
In response to questions from Michael Mohr, John Molitor stated that if the Board
approves the use of the property for the school, the school would be allowed to make use
of the entire site. The commitments do put some limitations on the petitioner without
Plan Commission review, however, once it is approved, it would then go forward to the
Plan Commission for their review and approval. It should be noted that the Plans
Commission has less leverage than the Board of Zoning Appeals.
Leo Dierckman was in favor of tabling to allow the petitioner an opportunity to meet with
the neighbors and address their concerns. The petitioner would return before the Board
with more information relative to site design and the overall plan for the property.
Leo Dierckman moved to TABLE Docket Nos. SU -8 -00 and V- 12 -00, University High
School of Indiana, until the April Board of Zoning Appeals meeting. APPROVED 4 -0.
Ms. Plavchak asked about the City's requirements and restrictions regarding buffering
between a residential neighborhood and a school, and wondered if there were different
requirements for a private school as opposed to a public school.
University High School of Indiana was TABLED to the April meeting by a vote of 4 -0.
Mr. Coots asked for direction from the Board as to how negotiations on buffering were to
be handled, i.e. with the Board, the Department, or the neighbors. The current drawings
show 25 yards of buffer along the south property line, but the petitioner may not be
willing to commit to that today.
s:\BoardolZoningAppeals \Minutes \baz2000mar 9
Ms. Rice asked that the petitioner address some of the concerns and questions raised by
the remonstrators and advise what resolution is willing to be made by the petitioner when
he again appears before the Board.
5h. Cedar Point, Lot 51 (V -9 -00)
Petitioner seeks approval of a Development Standards Variance of Section
5.3.1(8) in order to erect a 576 square foot garage encroaching 15 feet into a
platted utility easement. The site is located at 10044 Cedar Point Drive. The site
is zoned S -1 /Residence.
Filed by Michael A. Sarah R. Burnham.
Mike Burnham, 10044 Cedar Point Drive, Carmel, appeared before the Board as
applicant; Sarah Burnham was also in attendance. Mr. Mrs. Burnham are requesting
approval to construct a permanent storage garage in their back yard to store lawn
furniture, garden tractor, garden supplies, and other outdoor equipment.
The petition is for a Developmental Standards Variance that requires accessory buildings
to be built at easement plus 3 feet. The storage garage is planned at the northeast corner
of the lot and will encroach upon the 20 foot easement. The accessory building will be
surrounded by trees on the north, east, and toward the south sides. The 20 foot drainage
and utility easement on the northern end of the property; there is also a 15 foot drainage
and utility easement on the west side of the property that is mostly open field. Mr.
Burnham distributed photographs of his lot and explained the proposed positioning of the
storage garage.
The storage garage will be hidden from the front yard as well as from the east, west, and
north sides by the trees on site. Mr. and Mrs. Burnham have talked with the adjoining
neighbors about constructing the storage garage, and the neighbors feel that the proposed
location is the most inconspicuous.
Mr. Burnham stated that the proposed garage would be placed in an easement that is un-
used, un- regulated, utility and drainage easement, and because of this, all entities were
contacted that have a current or future interest in the easement, including the Hamilton
County Surveyor's office. All agencies have responded favorably to the encroachment.
The petitioner is requesting approval at this time.
Members of the public were invited to speak in favor or opposition to the petition; no one
appeared.
Laurence Lillig reported that the Department has received correspondence from the
various utilities stating that they do not object to the encroachment in the drainage and
utilities easement. The County Surveyor has raised no objection. The petitioner is
meeting the 5 foot setback from lot line requirement. The Department is recommending
favorable consideration at this time.
s:\BoardolZoningAppeals \Minutes \baz2000mar 10
The public hearing was then closed.
Leo Dierckman moved for the approval of Cedar Point, Lot 51 (V- 9 -00). APPROVED
4 in favor, none opposed.
6h. Goad Residence (V- 10 -00)
Petitioner seeks a Developmental Standards Variance of Section 5.3.1(5) to erect
a 32 foot tall accessory building. The site is located at 845 East 116 Street. The
site is zoned S -1 /Residence.
Filed by Philip A. Nicely of Bose McKinney Evans for Robert Linda Goad.
John Smeltzer, 11218 St. Andrews Lane, Carmel, attorney with Bose McKinney
Evans, appeared before the Board requesting a variance for the height of a pool house
that the Goads will be constructing.
The lot is bordered to the east by a fairly dense woods, Estancia Way is to the south, and
private residences to the west. The building height is actually 30 feet, 6 inches; 32 feet
includes the chimney. The petitioner will return to the Board for a variance regarding the
height of the primary structure.
The site is presently not served by public water; the petitioner will be bringing public
water to the site. The use and value of the adjacent properties will not be adversely
affected; there are a number of structures surrounding the residence that are also very
large structures of similar height. The strict application of the zoning ordinance would
result in a practical difficulty in that the pool house could not be replaced with a
comparable structure or structure compatible with other structures in the immediate area.
Members of the public were invited to speak in favor or opposition to the petition; no one
appeared.
Laurence Lillig reported that the Department is recommending favorable consideration of
this petition.
The public hearing was then closed.
In response to questions from Earlene Plavchak, Mr. Smeltzer "guesstimated" that the
total square footage of the pool house is between 8,000 to 10,000 square feet range. The
Goads will be living in the pool house while the main house is being constructed.
Steve Granner stated that the maximum height for accessory structures is 18 feet per
ordinance. The existing pool house on site that was demolished exceeded 18 feet. The
petitioner will be building a new structure around the existing pool and the height will be
30 1/2 feet to the roof line. Upon completion of the pool house, the petitioner will move
from the existing house into the pool house while a new residence is being constructed;
the height of the residence will be at least 48 feet tall and the petitioner will return to the
Board for a variance in height.
s:\BoardolZoningAppeals \Minutes \baz2000mar 11
John Molitor stated that this is essentially an accessory structure that is being built. Even
though it is a large structure, it is still an accessory building with respect to this particular
lot and use.
Michael Mohr moved for the approval of V- 10 -00, Goad Residence. APPROVED 4 -0.
There being no further business to come before the Board, the meeting was adjourned at
9:30 PM.
