Dear Justin:
DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY SERVICES

Original via Mail
Pursuant to Section23D.04 of the Carmel Zoning Ordinance, the Department of Community Services has taken the
following administrative action regarding the request of Site Plan and Design Review (SDR) in Old Town for the
property located at 121 3 Street NW:
APPROVED: The Director approved the demolition of the exiting structures; with the understanding that another
SDR application will be submitted for review /approval of a new house with garage (similar to what was shown with
this application) in the near future.
The Director hereby grants the demolition request for the buildings at 121 3 Street NW, based upon review of
the inspection reports and subsequent field reconnaissance by Jim Blanchard and him, which confirmed the
major structural flaws and substandard construction in floor and ceiling, significant foundation and HVAC
defects, and absence of consistent level of basic upkeep, including significant termite activity.
It is also clear to the Director that the proposed investment in new construction and nearby infrastructure will be
of far greater significance and will exceed any replacement value to the existing home, even following a total
restoration of the home.
In order to assist the Department's review, please attach a copy of this letter when making application for
permits regarding the improvements/ demolition contained within this approval
Do not hesitate to contact me if I canbe of further assistance.
Sincerely,
Ang na Conn
