CARMEL/CLAY BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS
FINDINGS OF FACT for USE VARIANCE
Docket No. 12110008 UV
Petitioner Midwest Academy, Inc.
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
The Carmel Zoning Ordinance only permits elementary and secondary schools in limited areas (mostly residential)
by Special Use The academy serves a constituency that is not localized in a particular area of the city and is better
able to fulfill its purposes if located in the central area of Carmel where available sites for schools are limited
2. The grant of this variance will not be injurious to the public health, safety, morals and general welfare of the
community because
The present location of the academy on Congressional Blvd in Carmel is close by and is also located in the
M-3 zoning district. Relocation to Chase Court will not substantially change its impact on 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
There are many schools already located in the North Central planning area of Carmel, including a Ball State
University charter school nearby on West Carmel Drive, the academy's existing facility is not far from this location
4 The need for the variance arises from a natural condition peculiar to the subject property because
Midwest Academy is presently located in the North Central planning area of Carmel and there are few, if any,
properties in this area where a Variance or Special Use would not be required for a school use.
5 The granting of this variance does not substantially interfere with the Carmel/Clay Comprehensive Plan because
The Comprehensive Plan recognizes that the North Central planning area is home to many of the city's educational
resources and calls for opportunities to introduce additional educational resources in this area.

IT IS THEREFORE the decision of the Carmel/Clay Board of Zoning Appeals that Use Variance Docket No
12110008 UV is granted, subject to any conditions stated in the minutes of this Board, which are
incorporated herein by reference and made a part hereof

Gentlemen,
Midwest Academy has had an excellent working relationship with Off The Wall
Sports for a few years. In fact, we plan to expand the relationship in the future.
Their new home will be adjacent to our Off The Wall Sports property. Midwest
Academy's application for a use variance will not be detrimental to our property or
value, therefore we are in support of the parking variance and don't think it will
have a negative impact on us.
Sincerely,
A274,---ey)
