Subject: RE: Question
Hi, Tami The Old Town Overlay Character Subarea regs state: "New buildings must follow the dominant or average
frontyard Setback dimension of existing buildings on the same block and on the same side of the street, with a
variation of up to three (3) feet allowed (See Figure 2a)': (Click this link for the old town character subarea
regulations online: http: /www.carmel.in.gov/ Modules /ShowDocument.aspx ?documentid =318.) It looks like the
front yard setback of your neighbor to the south is anywhere from 13 -16.5 feet. Can you confirm that building's
front yard setback?
Please submit to us a revised plot plan of the building location on the parcel, that shows the new building footprint
and the lesser distance from 2nd Ave NW. Also, please submit the new building floor plans and elevations that show
the deeper porch.
However, you /I will also have to calculate the maximum lot cover percentage (building footprint, pavement, etc.)
to make sure it is not over the 45% requirement.

Subject: Question
Hi Angie,
After the meeting this evening, Steve and I were talking to Justin and we discussed the depth of my porch.
Would it be possible to add 3 feet to the depth of my porch, which would be keeping in line for the setbacks,
with the three houses Justin will be building to the south of me? To change this, would we need to go through
this entire process again?
Please let me know your thoughts on this.
Thanks!

Demo request 141 Third St NW
demo 141 third Street NW Sept 2011.pdf
Attached to this email you will find a letter of determination approving with conditions the
removal of the house at 141 Third St. NW. The original letter has been placed in the mail
which you should receive in the next day or so.
It is important for me to point out that ordinance does allow for an appeal of this
determination by an interested party, which would result in a hold on any activity on the
property until a hearing on the appeal can be conducted. The adjoining property owners to
the north, south and east are being sent a copy of this letter too; they have 30 days to file
an appeal. 1.-.). 10 -25 -11
I greatly appreciate your patience while waiting for the City's response. We look forward to
working with you on the construction.

Dear Mr. Reeve:
CITY OF CARMEL
JAMES BRAINARD, MAYOR
Re: Proposed demolition -141 Third Street NW, Carmel, IN
This letter is written in response to your request for demolition dated September 9, 2011,
to remove a Contributing Building as defined and identified in the Old Town Overlay Zone
Ordinance, adopted by the Carmel City Council in 2001.
The Director of the Department of Community Services takes seriously every request to
remove a Contributing Building in Old Town. As such, your request and key points of
explanation to support the demolition have been thoroughly considered, per the following
findings and explanation.
There are four main areas of criteria which the Zoning Ordinance has established when
considering the removal of a Contributing Building in Old Town:
i. Structural conditions of the building that pose an imminent safety hazard.
ii. An advanced state of dilapidation or fire damage would make it unfeasible to repair
the building for any reasonable economic use.
The architectural and historical significance of the structure individually, in relation
to the street, and as a part of the district as a whole.
iv. Replacement value, if it can be determined that the proposed new development with
which it will be replaced is of greater significance to the enhancement of the overlay
district than retention of the existing structure.
When reviewing the material provided to support the demolition, supplemented by the site
visit with you on 9/7/11, it is clear that the existing building does not fit the first two criteria,
as it is neither an imminent safety hazard, nor is its condition so poor that it is beyond
reasonable repair.
The criteria iii, architectural significance, does require some explanation. The building,
constructed in 1950, is not recognized in the Hamilton County Interim Report by the
Historic Landmarks Foundation of Indiana. It is, however, recognized by a recent Ball State
historic preservation survey of Old Town as a contributing structure to a (potential) National
Register Historic District.

MICHAEL P. HOLLIRAUGH, DIRECTOR
Mr. Stephen Reeve
Re: Proposed demolition 141 Third Street NW, Carmel. IN page 2
The home is small, approximately 625 square feet, plus an approximate 310 square feet of
one -car garage. The lot is small, limiting the ability to add onto the home in order to allow
enough living space to function in today's real estate market.
Further, the building's historic context has been altered somewhat with the odd garage
addition, and there exists a new home adjacent to the east, as well as a recent redevelopment
approved for the Applegate real estate located south of this building.
Our review finds criteria iii to be inconclusive, as the related facts neither solely support
demolition nor support preservation of this building.
In reviewing criteria number iv, Replacement, consideration of the location and visibility of
this lot are of significant value to the area, i.e., a corner parcel with adjacency to the Monon
Trail, in the SW quadrant of Old Town.
Any replacement structure must, without question, be built consistent with the design
requirements for new construction found in the overlay zone. Further, its exposure on two
sides to public right -of -way, plus the Monon exposure, would indicate that a high level of
attention to detailing of the north and west facades is important, especially when weighing a
demolition which relies upon Replacement as the prime consideration.
The house design submitted with this demolition request, would represent a substantial
investment which, when completed, will be of greater significance than the existing
structure. It appears from our review, however, that the house design as proposed would not
fully meet the ordinance requirements for building height in the Character sub -area, Section
C.3.k.iii; for garage setback found in C.3.d.i (b), and chimney brick exterior, Section
C.3.g.v.
In conclusion, the City does hereby find that the demolition of this Contributing
Building shall be allowed based upon criteria number iv., Replacement, except that the
demolition may only occur pursuant to the below conditions:
1. An amended site plan and house design plans shall be submitted and approved pri 'r to
demolition. Such tans shall properly address the provisions for garage setbac buildin hei
an 'rick chimney, d otherwise shall compl ith Z- 374 -02, as amen ed.
2. Any ont will be a minimum depth of 6-0 fee an accepted minimum dimension for a
functional porch.
3. Any fireplace venting, if visible from the public right -of -way, will consist of a r�nasonry chimney
rather than a shed chimney.
4. Additional windows will be provided where feasible in the southern facing facade, in order to
allow for more natural light in the house, and to provide architectural relief from the unbroken
expanse of siding.
5. This determination shall take effect at 12:00 PM on Monday, September 27, 2011.
This Director's determination may be appealed to the Carmel Board of Zoning Appeals by
you or any other interested party pursuant to Chapter 30.0 of the Carmel Zoning Ordinance.
Mr. Stephen Reeve
Re: Proposed demolition 141 Third Street NW, Carmel. IN page 3
An appeal must occur within thirty (30) days of issuance of this letter, or the determination
is final.

Please see attached proposal. There is a legal drain in that area. Will this be an issue, if the existing house lies within it
