OLD TOWN'
DESIGN GROUP;
March 14, 2013
Dear Carmel Board of Zoning Appeals Member:
We have filed a Development Standards Variance request on behalf of our clients Sue
Maki and Tom Kapostasy for the property at 317 2"Ave NE, which is a part of the
Blackwell Park subdivision our company developed at the corner of 2nd Ave NE and 3rd
Street NE.
The final design plan for our client resulted in a lot coverage that was approximately
51.6% where the zoning ordinance only allows for 45% coverage for a single family
home. Lot coverage includes all structures (house & garage), porches, patios, sidewalks
and driveways. We believe that an overage of 460 square feet in coverage is negligible
and allows our client to build an "age in place" home with adequate main level square
footage. A copy of the homes elevations is included in this package along with a site plan
and area map. We believe the elevations are attractive and will be a good fit for the
neighborhood.
The property is zoned R-3 which would allow for a duplex structure and up to 70%
coverage for that use. It may be helpful to know that a greater percentage of coverage
could be allowed on the subject property per the zoning ordinance.
We look forward to the BZA Hearing Officer meeting on March 25 and will gladly answer any
questions you may have at that time.
Sincerely,
`k ' 1,x.11
