Reis, Esq. Kite Medical Office Complex Development Standards Variance Hearing Officer Of the Carmel Board of Zoning Appeals May 24, 2004 Table of Contents Introduction and Overview 0 e e Aerial Photograph Site Plan Sample Building Elevation Drawing Findings of Fact KITE MEDICAL OFFICE COMPLEX 126 STREET AND U.S. 31 Developmental Standards Variance Approval INTRODUCTION AND OVERVIEW In the fall of 2000, an ADLS application and Development Plan were approved for the development of this site located at the northeast corner of 126th Street and U.S. 31. Construction of that approved project did not commence. Because the State of Indiana has begun the process of designing the upgrade of U.S. 31, a revised development plan for the site is being submitted to the Plan Commission for approval. The overall project is planned to consist of three office buildings, to be developed in three phases. The first phase consists of: a three story office building containing 96,000 rentable square feet; the associated parking areas and the construction of a retention pond. The amended architectural design, landscaping, lighting and signage (ADLS) for the first phase of this project, which is essentially the same as the prior project, did not require a public hearing and was approved by the Plan Commission Special Studies Committee on May 6, 2004. Because of the anticipated right of way requirements of the State of Indiana, the variance request from Section 23B.08.01(C) of the Carmel Zoning Ordinance is to eliminate the build to line requirements for buildings that front on U.S. Highway 31 and Pennsylvania Street. Instead, the front building setback will be subject to the review and approval of the City of Carmel Department of Community Services.

DATED THIS 3AY OF ,20 Hearing Officer CARMEL BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS CARMEL, INDIANA Docket No.: 04040020 V Petitioner: Kite Development Company. Inc. FINDINGS OF FACT - DEVELOPMENTAL STANDARDS VARIANCE The approval of this variance will not be injurious to the public health, safety, morals and general welfare of the community because: the Department of Community Services will ensure that the front setbacks of the buildings will conform to the approved development plan adopted by the Carmel Plan Commission. 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 vadance establishes the criteda and guidelines approved bv the Plan Commission in consideration of the use and value of the adjacent area and orooerties. 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 State of Indiana's clans will cause a hardship to the applicant and its real estate and thereby creatinq a practical difficulty in developinq the real estate that needs to be removed by this variance.
