This investigation was performed due to a Zoning Code Violation letter from the City of Carmel, dated August 19, 2010. This letter was issued based on; inaccurate parcel boundaries shown on the City of Carmel GIS mapping, which showed the southern gravel employee parking lot lying over the southern property line. Our review of the GIS mapping determined that there is a distance error of 20 feet in the overall North -South distance of the Pro Care property line dimension. Keeler -Webb Associates issued an ALTA/ACSM Land Title Survey of the subject property, last revised on October 19, 1998. On November 3, 2010, an on -site inspection was performed and it was determined that the properties substantially match the conditions reflected in the survey. Additionally, we obtained and Aerial Photo of the subject property, provided by the City of Carmel, GIS mapping, dated 2009. This aerial photo closely represents the current condition of property. On November 8, 2010, a meeting was held at Carmel DOCS with DOCS staff, the owner, and land surveyor present. All of the above evidence was reviewed with staff at that time, and it was determined that there is no zoning code violation. Based upon the data collected, along with observations made at the time of our inspection and analysis, it is our surveying opinion that the southern gravel employee parking lot lies entirely within the bounds of the subject real estate. Furthermore, the North -South dimensions of the properties along the East side of North Augusta Drive (per the City of Carmel GIS parcel dimensions) do not match the deed distances. The opinions stated in this report are based upon the physical conditions present at the time of our inspection and the ALTA/ACSM Land Title Survey of the subject real estate. Unless additional detail, assistance, or other land surveying effort is requested, this investigation is considered to be complete as per the scope of land surveying work required and no further professional support will be provided.

Lakes at Hazeldell Clubhouse (SU- 37 -99) Petitioner seeks approval to construct a private recreation facility in an S -1 residential district. The site is located at the intersection of Hazel Glen and West Lake Boulevard. Filed by Richard Henderson of The Schneider Corporation. Charlie Frankenberger, attorney with Nelson and Frankenberger, 3021 East 98 Street, Indianapolis, appeared before the Board on behalf of Zaring Homes. The applicant is seeking approval to construct a swimming pool and amenity area in a residential community known as the Lakes at Hazeldell. Also present on behalf of Zaring Homes were Robert Krohngold and David George. At the initial hearing, Zaring was requested to change the dimensions of its pool and to agree that a lifeguard would be present at all time the pool is open. Zaring is willing to comply with both conditions but asks for the following consideration' The problem with the reconfiguration of the pool is two -fold. The petitioner has already obtained from the State the permit for the original design. If reconfigured, the process would take an additional twelve weeks and out of the current construction season. In addition, Zaring has stated that they have designed a pool more for family and recreational purposes than competitive swimming: more for lounging than laps In light of the hardship of waiting until next year's construction season, the applicant is asking the Board to reconsider their requirement. In regard to pool safety, in a pool of this size. the State has decided to remain silent and does not require a lifeguard. The Zoning Ordinance does not specifically address the issue. This is deemed to be a private matter. Residents would want the flexibility of enjoying the pool at will and not contingent upon the presence of a lifeguard. There are liability concerns and also concerns about how this requirement can consistently be applied to future pools. In short, the question is whether or not this is an area that we want to regulate. Based on the foregoing, the petitioner is asking that the Board reconsider its requirement of the presence of a lifeguard during pool hours.

INDIANA 46032 844-6433 It has been brought to my attention by neighbor complaint and my inspector's report that you have several violations not permitted for the use of this land as approved. 1. The first complaint is a trailer being used for general nursery storage. Only construction trailers are permitted to be used while construction is in progress to facilitate telephone, plans and construction tools or instruments. 2. Storage shed constructed near or on fence. This is not in the original plans approved and no variance or permit has been granted for this. 3. Trash and open garbage are being dumped on the property. This also violates the Indiana Board of Health rules, as well as our ordinance, as this debris will draw rats and other rodents. This type of use is not in the original plans approved. This letter is to advise you that immediate compliance and corrections be made to your property. I would also advise that no future uses be considered without permits and to comply with the original approval of use of your land. A copy of this letter is being filed with the Board of Zoning Appeals this day, July 28, 1980, and the original handed to you, if present, or will be mailed by registered mail if you are not present.

Board to question decision concerning Pro Care Nursery, located at 98th and New Augusta Drive in S -1 zoning. Mort Rolsky and Mitch Rolsky were present. Mort Rolsky stated that it was called to his attention that two of the adjoining property owners did not receive notice for last January's Public Hearing. Mr. Rolsky said that that was not his fault but an error in the County Clerk's office. Warren Pettitt, W. 97th St., stated that on New Augusta Rd. only one house was notified and three should have been and they were not aware of the Public Hearing. Mr. Adler said if the people feel aggrieved they may appeal to the Circuit Court within 30 days of the meeting of the BZA. Mr. York related that the Board has no jurisdiction in this matter. Joe Hoover, W. 97th St., stated that they want assistance and that they wish to present their side. Mr. York asked if they have had advise of counsel and stated that the Board cannot at this time do anything and that the court is the place they should go. Jim Doom, adjoining property owner, questioned what recourse they have if Mr. Rolsky does not remove the trailer when he is through and if he does not keep his word. Remonstrators complained of the trailer, trash and garbage on the property Mr. Anderson submitted a letter to Mr. Rolsky, with a copy for the record (which is a part of the official minutes and attached to the master copy). Mr. Anderson read the letter which cited violations by Mr. Rolsky that were called to his attention. Mr. Anderson said that immediate compliance and corrections are to be made to the property. Mr. Anderson said he will meet with Mr. Rolsky to work out these points of violation. Mr. York stated that the remonstrators will have to go to the Circuit Court regarding the notice error for the January BZA Public Hearing. 2g. Rules and Procedures The Board members are to review the 1958 rules and those of 1977 and determine some standards. The Board will meet next month at 7:00 P.M. and no Public Hearings are to be scheduled until 7 :45 P.M. in order that the rules and procedures can be reviewed.

While seemingly tolerant 6 -7 years ago, the noise situation has grown increasingly worse. The owner, Lowell Rolsky, and I have failed at attempts to resolve the matter. Unfortunately, another neighbor and I have sadly resorted to calling Hamilton County Sheriff's department when after 8:30 p.m. on a Sunday night the power equipment was still being run. We would like to resolve this amicably. The city of Carmel 's encouragement of this company to be a less conspicuous neighbor would be most welcome. Installing fence, trees, etc. would be appropriate and welcome (and feasible given this IS a landscaping company!). Attached is a photo shot from my back yard. The video clips I have are too large so I will send a link separately. Thanks in advance for your reply and suggestions on how we can resolve this peacefully (pun intended.)

The question is, should the neighbors to the south get a letter as well, since their property is being illegally parked on? I've combed through all the files, and it doesn't seem as though anyone was /is aware that Pro Care is encroaching. All of their site plans show the lot on their site, but our GIS and County GIS aerials show them encroaching for at least the last ten years.

Charles Spray Charles Spray MS, LMHC (317) 431 -4598 2/3/2010 rage 1 of 2 Mr. Hollibaugh, My name is Charles Spray and I live on West 97th St, and have for about the past seven years. In those seven years this area has been severely wrecked by a couple of investors who have bought homes either and use them for commercial business, or just let them sit and fall apart. I'm in a situation where I own a nice home, but the area has become very trashy and unsafe, but my options for selling are limited. Right now, I cannot sell my home as a residential property since no decent human being would want to live around here, and I can't sell it commercially either as things have really slowed down in the area the past couple of years. I was wondering if you could give me an idea of what you expect to happen in this area during the next year so that I might have an idea of what I need to do.
