Docket No.:
CARMEUCLAY ADVISORY BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS
FINDINGS OF FACT DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS VARIANCE
12040024 V
Petitioner: _Gayle A. Carlson
1. The approval of this variance will not be injurious to the public health, safety, morals and general welfare of
the community because:
It is merely a roof over our patio. It takes no additional property at the back of our
house on our private property. Plans call for this roof to be securely attached to our
house.
2. 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:
It does not encroach on any property beyond the existing patio. It will improve the
looks of the back of our house and in the long run will enhance the value of the
adjacent property due to the permanent and co- ordinated look of the structure
3. 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:
_Our patio furniture is constantly getting dirty due to the droppings from the tree
canopy. The direct line of vision between our neighbor's bedroom and our kitchen eating
area wills continue to exist .The morning sun blinds people at our kitchen table and the
hardwood flooring will continue to bleach out by the direct sunlight through our patio door
DECISION
IT IS THEREFORE the decision of the Carmel/Clay Board of Zoning Appeals that Development Standards 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.

Statement of Variance
Docket No. 12040024 V
Chapter 7.04.03D: Construct a roof over our Patio
Our Patio extends twelve feet towards our property line, is sixteen feet wide and the far edge is 10 feet
from our property line. The city ordinance for our property states that the minimum yard setback is 20
feet. We are not extending any closer to the property line than the existing patio.
Statement of Support
When our home was built in 1979 a cement patio was constructed with a foundation so that later a
screened -in porch or just a roof could be built over it. At this time we wish to build just a roof over the
patio to protect it from the runoff from a large Tulip Tree, as well as all the droppings from the Tulip
Tree, (flower petals, the empty buds, the little thorns, etc). The patio roof would also block the direct
line of site from our kitchen eating area to our neighbor's bedroom as well as block the direct sunlight at
our breakfast table.
Prior to moving forward with the project, we discussed this construction with all of the neighbors that
are most directly involved, those that have visibility of our patio, and all have been supportive.
