Petitioner:
CARMEL /CLAY ADVISORY BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS
CARMEL, INDIANA
11100018 V
Meridian Heights Associates, LLC (Compliance with Thoroughfare Plan)
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 requested variance to reduce the right -of way width of North -South Drive and Pennsylvania Parkway will permit the
streets to be constructed in compliance with the Thoroughfare Plan's accepted number of lanes, lane widths, and
pedestrian paths, therefore not being detrimental to the public health, safety, morals, and general welfare of the community.
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 requested variance is limited to and only affect the interior of the development of Meridian and
Main II and does not adversely impact any adjacent properties.
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:
The right -of -way width required for urban collector streets presumes a need for either four vehicular lanes or on- street parking.
The proposed mixed use development does not require either of these items and to provide the space needed for them
would result in the misuse and under utilization of ground within the proposed development.
