STATEMENT OF DEVELOPMENTAL STANDARDS VARIANCE
The Applicant, Ma~hews Auto Repair, Inc., requests the Board of Zoning Appeals to vary
the Home Place Overlay Zone (Carmel Zoning Ordinance Chapter 23 E) to the extent that the
Ordinance requires Plan Commission approval of improvements to locations within the overlay zone,
the general provisions of the overlay zone requirement and the architectural design requirements of
the overlay zone in that petitioner is required to reconfigure his automobile repair facility located at
725 E. 106th Street by the Hamilton County Condemnation of Right of Way to enlarge the 106th
Street College intersection. The existing building will be shut off from 106th Street, requiring
reoriantation of the building to permit the entrance of automobiles from the east instead of the north.
To replace lost service bays within the building, petitioner seeks to add a 30 by 50 addition to the
south of the existing building to be constructed the same as the existing structure (standing seam
metal roof and exterior). The requested variance will relocate overhead doors from the 106th Street
elevation to the east elevation and improvements to the front exterior of the building will be made
to include windows and landscaping.
Strict compliance with the requirements of Home Place Overlay Zone (the creation of a
development plan, architectural design, landscaping, exterior lighting and signage compliance,
landscaping and architectural design including brick facing, bicycle and pedestrian traffic oriented
and the developmental standards) are all impractical considering condemnatiun by the county to
widen a highway is the cause for the need to expand the facility to replace portions of the building
made inaccessible by the relocation of 106th Street.
WHEREFORE, Applicant requests the Board of Zoning Appeals to grant the Developmental
Standards Waiver, authorize the Department of Community Services to prove the recordiguratiun
of the existing building and the proposed addition as to its orienlation, exterior materials,
landscaping and traiTm pattern circulation.

CARMEL BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS
CARMEL, INDIANA
Docket No.:
Petitioner:
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 change to the existing building is caused by Hamilton County Condemnation of
RIght of Way for 106th Street.
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 same use will exist, but redesign of the site is required by the 106th Street widening
condemnation.
o
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 redesign and enlargement of the building is the result of condemnation. The cost to
bring the building into compliance with the overlay zone far exceeds the condemnation
proceeds.
DECISION
IT IS THEREFORE the decision of the Carmel Board of Zoning Appeals that Variance
Docket No. is granted, subject to any conditions stated in the minutes of this Board,
which are incorporated herein by reference and made a part hereof.
Adopted this day of ,20__
