CARMEL/CLAY BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS
CARMEL, INDIANA
Docket No. 04090009 UV (Use Variance)
Petitioner: Dr. Anthony Buzzetti - Veterinarian Hospital
FINDINGS OF FACT - USE VARIANCE
1. The grant of this variance will not be contrary to the public interest, due to the existence of special
condition(s) such that enforcement of the zoning ordinance will result in unnecessary hardship because
located adjacent to the Real Estate and nearby the Real Estate are various parcels which are zoned B-1,
B-2, or B-3, all of which would permit a veterinarian hospital with a commercial kennel. Thus, while
the proposed veterinarian hospital is permitted on sites nearby and adjacent to the Real Estate, it is not
permitted/on the Real Estate. Consequently, the proposed use is consistent with surrounding zoning.
Further, the Petitioner will endure unnecessary hardship if the use variance is not granted because he
will not be able to operate a veterinarian hospital on the Real Estate and he will be denied an
opportunity to construct upon the Real Estate a new building which will be more compatible to the
adjacent buildings along Rangeline Road and he will be denied an opportunity to continue to foster the
redevelopment of sites located along Rangeline Road.
2. The grant of this variance will not be injurious to the public health, safety, morals and general welfare of
the community because located adjacent to the Real Estate and nearby the Real Estate are various
parcels which are zoned B-1 ,B-2, or B-3, all of which would permit a veterinarian hospital with a
commercial kennel. Thus, while the proposed veterinarian hospital is permitted on sites nearby and
adjacent to the Real Estate, it is not permitted on the Real Estate. Consequently, it appears that the
proposed use is consistent with surrounding zoning. The granting of this variance will promote public
health, safety, morals and general welfare of the community because the Petitioner proposes to construct
upon the Real Estate a new building which will be more compatible to the adjacent buildings along
Rangeline Road 'and which will continue to foster the redevelopment of sites located along Rangeline
Road. Further, the building design will be an asset to the community.
3. The use or value of the area adjacent to the subject property will not be substantially affected in any
adverse manner because located adjacent to the Real Estate and nearby the Real Estate are various
parcels which are zoned B-1, B-2, or B-3, all of which would permit a veterinarian hospital with a
commercial kennel. Thus, while the proposed veterinarian hospital is permitted on sites nearby and
adjacent to the Real Estate, it is not permitted on the Real Estate. Consequently, it appears that the
proposed use is consistent with surrounding zoning. Further, if the use variance is granted and the Real
Estate is redeveloped, it should have a positive impact and effect on adjacent properties and their
property values.
4. The need for the variance arises from a natural condition peculiar to the' subject because located adjacent
to the Real Estate and nearby the Real Estate are various parcels which are zoned B-1, B-2, or B-3, all
of which would permit a veterinarian hospital with a commercial kennel. Thus, while the proposed
veterinarian hospital is permitte'd on sites nearby and adjacent to the Real Estate, it is not permitted on
the Real Estate. However, absent a use variance, the Petitioner will be denied the opportunity to operate
a veterinarian hospital on the Real Estate and he will be denied an opportunity to continue to foster the
redevelopment of sites located along Rangeline Road.
5. The granting of this variance does not substantially interfere with the CarmeVClay Comprehensive Plan
because located adjacent to the Real Estate and nearby the Real Estate are various parcels which are
zoned B-1, B-2, or B-3, all of which would permit a veterinarian hospital with a commercial kennel.
Thus, the proposed use appears to be consistent with permitted uses surrounding the Real Estate.
Further, the Comprehensive Plan for this general area seems to suggest a designation of Low
~-"..~
Intensity/Regional- Commercial Employment Area. Thus, the proposed use varIance request IS
compatible with the Comprehensive Plan.

CARMEL, INDIANA
Docket No. 04090010 V (Variance from Chapter 27.05 regarding required number of parking spaces)
Petitioner: Dr. Anthonv Buzzetti - Veterinarian Hospital
FINDINGS OF FACT - USE VARIANCE
1. The approval of this variance will not be injurious to the public health, safety, morals and general
welfare of the community because the reduction in the required number of parking spaces allows the
building to be located closer to the street in furtherance of the spirit and intent of the new Rangeline
Road Overlay. Further, in attempting to comply with the spirit and intent of the new Rangeline Road
Overlay, the Petitioner is actually prevented from adding additional parking spaces to the site. Finally,
because of the small size of the site, it creates site constraint issues which also prevent the inclusion of
additional parking spaces on the site.
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 the reduction in the required number of parking spaces allows the
building to be located closer to the street in furtherance of the spirit and intent of the new Rangeline
Road Overlay. Also, by granting this variance, it allows the Petitioner to redevelop the site, which has
been vacant for a significant time. The redeveloped building will be an asset to the community and
should have the effect of improving the adjacent property values.
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 due to the fact that the Petitioner will be prevented from
constructing upon the site a building which is consistent and compatible with the spirit and intent of the
new Rangeline Road Overlay.
DECISION
IT IS THEREFORE the decision of the Carmel/Clay Board of Zoning Appeals that Use Variance
Docket No. 04090010 V is granted, subject to any conditions stated in the minutes of this Board, which are

CARMEL, INDIANA
Docket No. 04090023 V (Variance from Chapter 26.04.05 regarding buffer yard planting requirements)
Petitioner: Dr. Anthonv Buzzetti - Veterinarian Hospital
FINDINGS OF FACT - USE VARIANCE
1. The approval of this variance will not be injurious to the public health, safety, morals and general
welfare of the community because a significant number of plantings will still be located on the site and,
due to the small size of the site, it creates site constraint issues which prevent the proper planting of all
required landscape material.
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 allowing this variance permits the Petitioner to redevelop the site,
which has been vacant for a significant time, pursuant to the spirit and intent of the new Rangeline Road
Overlay. Further, because the redeveloped building will be an asset to the community, it should have
the effect of improving adjacent property values.
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 due to the fact that the Petitioner will be prevented from
constructing upon the site a building which is consistent and compatible with the spirit and intent of the
new Range line Road Overlay.

CARMEL/CLAY BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS
CARMEL, INDIANA
Docket No. 04090025 V Variance from Chapter 19.04.02 regarding front yard set back)
Petitioner: Dr. Anthony Buzzetti - Veterinarian Hospital
FINDINGS OF FACT - USE VARIANCE
1. The grant of this variance will not be injurious to the public health, safety, morals and general welfare of
the community because the Phase 1 expansion of the building will be located 45' from the front
property line. If the Phase 2 expansion occurs, it would allow the building to be located adjacent to the
front property line which is compatible with the spirit and intent of the new Rangeline Road Overlay.
Further, the redeveloped building will be an asset to the community, and it should have a positive effect
on adjacent property values.
2. The use or value of the area adjacent to the subject property will not be substantially affected in any
adverse manner because the Phase 1 expansion of the building will be located 45' from the front
property line. If the Phase 2 expansion occurs, it would allow the building to be located adjacent to the
front property line which is compatible with the spirit and intent of the new Rangeline Road Overlay.
Further, the redeveloped building will be an asset to the community, and it should have a positive effect
on adjacent property values.
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 due to the fact that, if the variance is not granted, the new building
expansion will not have a consistent set back as future development along Rangeline Road as would be
required by the new Rangeline Road Overlay. The denial of this variance would have a negative impact
on the Petitioner and community and would not be consistent with the overall vision for this corridor of
Rangeline Road.
DECISION
IT IS THEREFORE the decision of the Carmel/Clay Board of Zoning Appeals that Use Variance
Docket No. 04090025 V is granted, subject to any conditions stated in the minutes of this Board, which are
incorporated herein by reference and made a part hereof.
