Meridian Street, Indianapolis. A new clubhouse building will be constructed on about the same location as the existing clubhouse and used for the same purposes.

Without the variance, Crooked Stick would need to take up the existing parking lot and build a new one with sub-surface drains, to meet the newer requirements. Installing curbing would interfere with the existing across-the-parking-lot drainage. The Urban Forester, Scott Brewer, has approved the tree preservation plan and the perimeter-landscaping plan. These plans will Preserve a large number of mature trees in the clubhouse area. Only one homeowner abuts the parking lot and he has submitted a letter in support of the variance and screening.
