CARMEL BOARD OF ZON1ING APPEALS
CARMEL, INDI~NA
Docket No.:
1.
Wagner Reese & Crossen, LLP I
FINDINGS OF FACT - DEVELOPMENTAL STANDARDS VARIANCE
The approval of this variance will not be injurious to the J1UbliC health, safety, morals and general welfare of the
community because:
1) The lack of curbina on a small parkina area will not cause traffic or drainaQe issues. 2) A smaller plantina area
adiacent to the buildina will preserve additional trees on the property
I
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: I
1) The lack of curbina on a small Darkina area will not cause traffic or drainaae issues. 2) A smaller plantina area
adiacent to the buildina will preserve additional trees on tthe property.
Petitioner:
2.
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:
1) Curbina is not necessary on a commercial parkinalot of this size. The ordinance should distinauish between
larae and small Darkina lots and where exterior curbina should be required. 2) Without the variance, additional
trees on the property will not be preserved.

IT IS THEREFORE the decision of the Carmel Board of Zoning Al4>peals that Developmental Standards Variance
I
Docket No. 04050049 V is granted, subject to any conditions statej'd in the minutes of this
