CARMEUCLAY ADVISORY BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS
FINDINGS OF FACT DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS VARIANCE
Docket No.: 110300011 V
Petitioner: Doug Bowen
1. The approval of this variance will be injurious to the public health, safety, morals and general welfare
of the community because:
The existing barn, which is approximately 36.5 feet in height, is visible from adjoining properties and
thereby adversely affects the general welfare of the community as it is unsightly and not harmonious
with assessors buildings related to adjoining residential homes.
2. The use and value of the area adjacent to the property included in the variance will be affected in a
substantially adverse manner because:
The existing barn, which is approximately 36.5 feet in height, has been demonstrated to have a
material adverse impact on the value of adjoining properties, as evidenced by the affidavit of Karen
Hyde French dated April 18, 2011.
3. The strict application of the terms of the Zoning Ordinance to the property does not result in
practical difficulties in the use of the property because:
The proposed assessory bam can be constructed in a manner so that it is compliant with the Carmel
Zoning Ordinance and any practical difficulties that exist have been caused by the actions of the
Petitioner.
