CARMEL, INDIANA
Docket No. 11060005 V
Ordinance Chapter 23D.03.C.3.c.ii.a minimum lot width of 50 feet
Petitioner: The Old Town Design Group, LLC
FINDINGS OF FACT DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS VARIANCE
1. The approval of this variance will not be injurious to the public health, safety, morals and
general welfare of the community because:
The proposed primary plat for three lots will create lots of similar size to others in the area
and the lot lay -out is more conducive to traffic flow than what could be developed without
the variance. Aesthetics for the neighborhood will be improved by demolishing an
abandoned older home and rebuilding three custom homes that comply with the Old Town
Overlay Ordinance.
2. The use and value of the area adjacent to the property included in the variance will not be
affected in a substantially adverse manner because:
The three new custom homes will be of significantly higher value than the surrounding
homes while having approximately the same density per acre. The underlying zoning
would allow for multi family homes, but the proposed plat is for single family homes.
3. The strict application of the terms of the Zoning Ordinance to the property will result in
practical difficulties in the use of the property because:
Without a Development Standards Variance three lots could still be platted, but it would
create more impervious surface, require additional curb cuts on the surrounding streets,
and the aesthetic of the project would be less appealing from the dominant street /trail view.
