Home My WebLink AboutRE: response requested: Grandin Hall: Lot 13 building permit and Lot 12 & 13 replatThanks, Nick and Angie. We will take care of the ROW permit with Engineering before submitting the building permit. We heeded the advice Gary Duncan provided in December and have located the tennis court in the flat portion of the back yard outside of any easements.

If it is a private tennis court that the homeowner would use for personal use, there would not be a zoning issue, as long as it is located within a side or rear yard and not in a front yard. Also, the tennis court can have a maximum 16-ft tall open wire mesh fence to enclose the tennis court area and standard apron areas. This is per zoning ordinance section 25.01.01.C.6. Also, the land owner should check if there's recorded neighborhood declaration of covenants and restrictions to make sure that the homeowners association (if there is one) would not need to review/approve the plans, too. (But that is a private matter between the land owner and the neighborhood residents.) -Angie Conn, Planning Administrator -----Original Message----- From: Mishler, Nicholas F Sent: Tuesday, January 04, 2011 3:55 PM To: 'Bryan Stumpf'; Conn, Angelina V Cc: Estridge (McNutt, Gary); Estridge (Webber, Mark); Eddy Deckard; Schneider Corporation, The (Sexton, Dave); Barnes, David R; Blanchard, Jim E Subject: RE: response requested: Grandin Hall: Lot 13 building permit and Lot 12 & 13 replat I just talked to Jim and we are OK with taking in a building permit application. However, the tennis court that is planned for this parcel would be through engineering, not our department. They would need to approve construction entrances, etc. through their right-of-way permit process. When we take in building permit applications, we require either an approved right-of-way permit, or a signature on our application from engineering that a ROW permit is not required. Either way, this would need to be taken care of before the application is submitted to our office. Also as far as a tennis court on this parcel, this isn't an issue with the zoning for this property, right?

And thank you for explaining the situation and putting it in writing, so that all parties involved understand what is needed. Nick - do you need me to add a 'hold' to the parcel in question, to lot 13?

After talking with Nick Mishler, our builders and the surveyors, I think I can clarify the approvals we are seeking from the City and how to overcome the chicken-and-egg issue regarding the building permit. To briefly summarize the situation, the Baileys own Lot 12. They would like to purchase Lot 13 to construct a carriage house and a tennis court. These are accessory uses to the primary dwelling on Lots 12, therefore to legally establish them on Lot 13 requires combining the two lots into one through the replat process. Before purchasing Lot 13 the Baileys want to know that they will be able to build the desired carriage house and tennis court on the property. To that end, the purchase agreement for the lot requires that we secure the building permit before the Baileys purchase the lot. Here is my proposal for securing the required approvals and protecting all the parties involved. 1. The replat has been filed. The surveyors are making some changes as directed by the City and will have the revised replat back to the City by the end of the week. The replat will be addressed at the Board of Public Works meeting on 01-19-11. 2. On 01-05-11, LoMac Construction LLC (the Estridge Custom Company) will file the building permit for the carriage house and tennis court on Lot 13. 3. City of Carmel reviews and approves the building permit; estimated approval by 01-12-11. If necessary, the building permit can be issued with the Certificate of Occupancy contingent upon the recordation of the replat. 4. With the permit approval granted by the City, the Baileys can now purchase Lot 13; estimated closing on or before 01-18-11. 5. On 01-19-11 the Board of Public Works reviews and approves the replat combining the two lots. 6. On 01-21-11 the replat will be available for recording. LoMac will record the replat. 7. With the replat recorded, the certificate of occupancy can be granted as usual when construction is complete. The above approval schedule protects the City of Carmel, the Baileys, and Estridge. If this seems reasonable to you, please let me know and we can proceed with our building permit submittal. Let me know if you have any questions about this matter. Thank you, Bryan D.
