RE: 601 East 106 Street
Dear Mr. Smith:
We have reviewed the Use Variance submitted to the Hamilton County Surveyor's Office on
September 3, 2010, for this project and have the following comments:
1. The proposed project falls in the unincorporated area and MS4 jurisdiction of
Hamilton County.
2. The proposed project DOES NOT fall in a Carmel Wellhead Protection Zone.
3. The proposed project does fall in the Clara Knotts Regulated Drain Watershed.
4. The proposed project is adding minimal impervious area and this will not greatly
increase the site stormwater discharge for this property.
5. No permits will be required for this proposed project.
Should you have any questions, I can be reached at 317- 776 -8495.
Sincerely,
Greg Hoyes, AC, CFM, CPESC

Greg,
We have illustrated 4 'new' parking spaces, that will abut the existing drive and will be striped at a slight angle.
Just using standard dimensions of approx. 8' x 16' (x4), would get the new spaces in at about 512 square feet
additional impervious area. Same footage amount for the ground disturbance.

Mr. Smith,
I am glad that you are considering paving the spaces. An expense to be certain, but one that is in the interest of the
business and the property in the long term.
From a pure engineering standpoint, the increase in impervious area will increase the runoff from the property. While
having some grass area to absorb the runoff, it is typically not adequate to truly mitigate the increase in runoff.
Curbing the parking lot does not typically serve an engineering function. Within parking areas, curbing delineates driving
edges, provides edge support to the pavement (and would be expected to make it last longer), prevents vehicles from
leaving the pavement, provides an aesthetic to the parking area and can provide refuge to pedestrians waiting to cross
the pavement. Curbing in parking areas can be utilized to channel and convey storm water runoff (but not typically the
application for parking where areas drain into the parking lot and the perimeter curbing is higher).
My opinion and input as staff is that there is no engineering necessity to delete the curbing. There may be other
hardships that you can claim that the BZA will consider favorably.
Thanks so much,
Gary

Gary,
We spoke briefly on the telephone about this a week ago. I met with Christine Barton Holmes this afternoon
and gave her this revised site plan (attached). The variance I seek is both for use as an insurance agency, and in
standards for the additional parking spaces I will need.
Originally, on the variance for standards, I was contemplating using gravel, without curb, for the additional
parking spaces. After consideration of the street appeal and esthetics, I think I would now prefer to asphalt the
additional-4 spaces, again without curb, providing that I can do so while retaining the natural drainage slope
back towards the yard to the south. This will limit run -off toward 106th Street.
Please let me know if you have any questions.

Angelina,
Can you please e-mail me a use variance application and instruction sheet.
Also, and information on filing fees and any other pertinent information. I will be
assisting Gordon Smith pursue a use variance for an insurance agency at the 601 E. 106th St.
address in the Home Place District.

Hi, Gordon: A fellow planner and I briefly discussed your proposal, and think that a use variance approval from the
Board of Zoning Appeals (BZA) would be your best bet, in order to have an insurance agency at this site, with the site
remaining residential in zoning. This is due to the site's location within the Home Place Business District Overlay zone.
Attached is the use variance application with instruction sheet, filing fee, checklist, etc. The Use Variance process takes
about 45 days. Also, below is a plethora of information.
Here is the BZA calendar with filing deadlines:
http: /www.carmel.in.gov /services /DOCS /BZA2010/ Final %20BZA %20Calendar %202010.pdf
Here is a flowchart of the BZA approval process:

Here is the Technical advisory Committee member list:
http: /www.carmel.in.gov /services /DOCS /TAC2010 /TAC %20Members %207- 9- 10.pdf
Here is the link to the home place overlay requirements:
http: /www.carmel.in.gov/ services /DOCS /DOCSZOchptrs /ZO %20Ch% 2023E% 20Home %20PIace %200verlav %20(Autumn
%202005 %20v1).pdf (on page 7 begins the Business district regulations.)
Some things we will look at are: the road right of way and whether or not you need to dedicate more land to meet the
thoroughfare plan requirements, signage, parking area (gravel vs. asphalt), sidewalk requirement, buffer yard planting
requirement, hours of operation, number of parking spaces, neighbor support, etc.
Some info I found out about the site:
It is lot 36 in the College Plaza subdivision.
The tax id parcel no is 17- 013- 11- 02 -06- 001.000
There are covenants and restrictions associated with the recorded plat. But I am not sure if there is an active
neighborhood association to enforce them today. One restriction was that your lot can only be used for residential
purposes.
The lot is about 0.28 acres in size, with the house having about 984 sq. ft. and the garage having about 604 sq ft.
The lot has 2 front yards, each with a platted 30 -ft front yard building setback line. Side yard building setbacks are 5 -ft.
If you feel that you really want to rezone the property to a business zoning classification, just let me know and I can give
you the details on that. however, that process has a longer timeline and you would have to get approvals from both the
plan commission and city council. That process takes about 4 -6 months. But the end result is a parcel zoned for business,
should you chose to re -sell it.
