Support: Additional proper archival storage space wOuld enhance the Society's programs in numerous ways. In particular, an archivally sound storage facility would further protect CCHS collections of unique historical materials, and would greatly aid the use of those materials by the public by greatly increasing accessibility to CCHS staff and volunteers who process, conserve and use the materials.

The use or value of the area adjacent to the subject property will not be substantially affected in any adverse manner because: o The need for the variance arises from a natural condition peculiar to the subject property because: , The granting of this variance does not substantially interfere with the Carmel/Clay Comprehensive Plan because: DECISION IT IS THEREFORE the decision of the Carmel/Clay Board of Zoning Appeals that Use 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. Adopted this day of ,20 CHAIRPERSON, Carmel/Clay Board of Zoning Appeals SECRETARY, Carmel/Clay Board of Zoning Appeals Conditions of the Board are listed on the back. Page 8 of 8 - Z:~shared~forms~BZA applicalions~ Use Variance Application rev. 03/01/05 Finding of Fact- Use Variance Background regarding the Carmel Clay Historical Society need for additional storage: The Carmel Clay Historical Society (CCHS) is a 501 (C) 3 not-for-profit organization which since, 1975, collects, preserves, displays, interprets and publishes the local history of the Carmel Clay locality. The CCHS serves the entire Carmel Clay community, including school students. The Society needs to construct a secure building according to archival professional standards (for interior temperature and humidity and for fire and flood safety) in which to safeguard significant collections of historical manuscripts, journals, diaries, books, photographs, period clothing, and other select artifacts. The planned structure will be used by CCHS staff and volunteers (public reference services, including genealogy, are and will be offered in an existing structure close by). In pursuing its goals and purposes, the CCHS has far outgrown its current storage capacity. But CCHS collections must be housed on CCHS property, and must be easily accessed by staff and volunteers, hence the placement of the planned structure close beside an existing structure (the CCHS office and current archives). Application page 8, questions 1-5' The granting of these variances will enhance a cultural aspect of the community--the interpretation of local history. . . The proposed structure will be on a property used since 1975 for the museum, office and activities of the Carmel Clay Historical Society--the structure does not represent a change in the type of activity taking place on the property. That activity has been an attraction for school students in organized tours for many years. The chief structure on the CCHS property--the former Monon Railroad depot, now the Monon Depot Museum--was constructed in 1883 and predates many of the structures in its immediate neighborhood. The depot has long been a local landmark and since acquisition by the CCHS has been restored as a community cultural attraction. The proposed structure will be of similar exterior construction as the Depot Museum and compliment the property. . The dimensions of the property, the location of existing structures (2), the drip line of a large tree to be preserved, and a legal drain across the property combine to dictate the proposed location of the planned structure. o The Depot MuseUm structure is near its original location (an important fact in regard to the city's historical perspective, and the interpretation of local history), and near the eventual pedestrian traffic of the new Arts and Design District and as such will be another attraction for visitors to the area.

Developmental Standards Variance, explanations and supporting reasons in answer to application page 1, question 7~ and p. 2 question 8' The Carmel Clay Historical Society (CCHS) requests variances because (05070023) Explanation- the site does not allow for the required minimum side yard of five (5) feet as stated in Carmel Zoning Ordinance, Chapter 23.D.03.C.3.b. The placement of the planned structure must be immediately accessible to the CCHS office facility (existing structure) for security reasons, and for the Society's local history reference service as well as for display construction and processing and general conservation of the unique and historically valuable materials which the structure will house. Support: While this placement does not include the required five feet side yard, this east side yard of the proposed new structure adjoins City property which already extends several yards to the Monon Trail Greenway rather than to any private property owners less than the required five feet away from the Society's property. (05070024) Explanation: in regard to Carmel Zoning Ordinance, Chapter 27.05, parking at present on the CCHS property is limited to three vehicles, and the only access to the CCHS property and building site is by a driveway not owned by the CCHS. The proposed new structure will take the place of two of theSe parking places. Support: The public parking area for the Second Street SW trailhead of the Monon Trail is just a few yards away and that public parking lot will accommodate many vehicles of visitors to the CCHS property.
