[D. (V) Wolf Residence, Pool Equipment Variance.]
WOLF RESIDENCE POOL EQUIPMENT VARIANCE. >> IS THE MIC ON? OKAY. MY NAME
[00:05:16]
IS DANIEL, ON BEHALF OF CARMEL POOLS. I'M HERE FOR THE WOLF FAMILY AT 14457 NEW GARDEN LANE. THE POOL EQUIPMENT, THERE WAS NOT A GOOD SPITE AROUND THE HOUSE TO PUT THE POOL EQUIPMENT. ON THE RIGHT-HAND SIDE OF THE HOUSE, THERE IS A FOOT DRAINAGE EASEMENT. THAT IS WHERE THE POOL EQUIPMENT IS SUPPOSED TO BE PLACE. THE AIR-CONDITIONERS ARE ON THE SIDE OF THE HOUSE. AIR-CONDITIONERS DO STICK OUT FURTHER THAN POOL EQUIPMENT WOULD STICK OUT. WE REQUESTED THE VARIANCE TO KEEP THE POOL EQUIPMENT ON THE OUTSIDE OF THEHOUSE IN THE 15 FOOT DRAINAGE AND UTILITY EASEMENT. >> OKAY. AND YOUR INTENTION IS
TO KEEP YOUR EQUIPMENT BEHIND -- >> TO THE RIGHT OF THE
AIR-CONDITIONERS. >> WILL NOT PROJECT FURTHER? >> NO.
>> OKAY. DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING ELSE TO ADD? DOES ANYONE ELSE HERE WISH TO SPEAK FOR OR
AGAINST THE PROJECT? OKAY, SEEING NONE. >> THE PETITIONER HAS RECEIVED APPROVAL FROM THE HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION AND THE POOL PUMP EQUIPMENT WILL BE OF A QUIET DESIGN. THERE WILL BE VERY LITTLE NOISE OR VIBRATIONS. ALSO, THE POOL EQUIPMENT WILL STILL BE 12 FEET FROM THE PROPERTY LINE AND WILL STILL BE SENT BACK A FAIR AMOUNT.
PLANNING STAFF DOES RECOMMEND POSITIVE CONSIDERATION OF THE VARIANCE ALONG WITH CONSENT OF
APPROVAL FROM THE BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS. THANK YOU. >> I AGREE WITH THE DEPARTMENT.
I WILL APPROVE THE VARIANCE WITH THAT CONDITION. >> THANK YOU GUYS.
[D. (V) Stover Residence, Gazebo Setback Variance.]
>> THE NEXT ITEM UP, WHERE WE ADHERE? THE STOVER RESIDENCE. >> I AM LARRY STOVER. WHAT WE WANT TO DO IS WE WANT TO EXTEND OUT THE POOL DECK AND PLACE A GAZEBO ON IT. WE HAVE A 30 FOOT EASEMENT ALL ALONG THE BACK OF OUR PROPERTY AND FIVE FEET ON EACH SIDE WHERE WE HAVE TO BE OUT FROM THE PROPERTY LINE. WHAT WE WANT TO DO IS TO CROUCH IN THE FIVE FEET A LITTLE BIT.
THREE FEET FROM THE PROPERTY LINE INSTEAD OF THE REQUIRED FIVE. OUR NEIGHBOR HAS ALREADY
APPROVED, THEY ARE TOTALLY FINE WITH IT. >> OKAY. IS THAT THE GAZEBO
ITSELF OR THE CONCRETE PAD? >> WE WERE TOLD IF IT WAS A STRUCTURE NOT ABOVEGROUND, THAT IS OKAY. IT WILL ACTUALLY BE FOR FEE BECAUSE OF THE ONE FEE FROM THE CONCRETE.
>> ALL RIGHT. DOES ANYBODY WANT TO SPEAK IN FAVOR AGAINST THE PROJECT?
>> NO. >> THANK YOU. AS THE PETITIONER STATED, THEIR NEIGHBOR IS IN SUPPORT OF THIS AND WE DO HAVE THEIR NAME IN THE FILE SHOWING THAT. THE SETBACK VARIANCE IS A VARIANCE OF TWO FEET. REGARDING PRIVACY CONCERNS THERE WILL BE PRIVACY SHUTTERS IN THE DESIGN OF THE GAZEBO AND THAT WILL ADDRESS OUR CONCERN THAT WE HAD. WE DO RECOMMEND POSITIVE
CONSIDERATION OF THE VARIANCE. THANK YOU. >> I AM IN AGREEMENT AS WELL.
>> THANK YOU. >> YOU'RE WELCOME. >> OKAY, LET ME GET MY
[D. (V) 11575 Penn Sign Variance.]
[00:10:14]
PAPERWORK ARRANGED HERE. THE NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA NOW IS 11575 VARIANCE.>> MY NAME IS KEVIN BUCKEYE. WE ARE HERE TONIGHT ON BEHALF OF SCB LLC THIS TREE IS LOCATED 16 FEET SOUTH OF EASTERN 16TH STREET. WE ALSO HAVE A LOCATION ON WASHINGTON BOULEVARD. THIS INCLUDES THE PETITIONER'S HOME OFFICE AND SHARED LOCATED PARKING AND THE EXISTING OFFICE DWELLING. THE LOCATION WAS ON TAB FIVE AND THE INFORMATION ON TAB SIX. IT IS A TWO-STORY BUILDING SPLIT EVENLY ON A TWO-LEVEL SECTION OF THE BUILDING. THE FIRST FLOOR IN THE SECTION IS FOR THE FOOTBALL FACILITIES IN THE ENTRANCE TO THE FACILITY. THE SECOND FLOOR IS WHERE THE OPERATIONS ARE. THEY ALSO OVERLOOK THE QUARTZ FROM THAT SECOND-LEVEL. THE PICKLE BALL USE AND THE FOOD SERVICE OPERATIONS WILL BE OPERATED INDEPENDENTLY. TAB SEVEN IN THE PACKET THAT WAS FILED IN THE PLAN SHEETS INCLUDES DEPICTIONS OF DAY AND NIGHT EXAMPLES OF WHAT THESE SIGNS WILL LOOK LIKE. THE VARIANCE REQUEST IS SECTION -- SIGNS NOT FRONTING ON A STREET. THERE ARE A COUPLE OF SIGNS PERMITTED FOR THE PENNSYLVANIA FRONTAGE ON THE WEST FACADE AND THAT IS NOT THE SUBJECT OF TONIGHT'S VARIANCE REQUEST.
ORDINARILY THERE WILL BE ALLOWANCE OR THE SIGNS ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE BUILDING. THE ENTIRE PLANNING AND APPROVAL PROCESS FOR THIS BUILDING HAS ALWAYS KEPT IN MIND THE EFFECTS OF THE RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD TO THE EAST. THERE ARE NO SIGNS ON THE SITE. WE WOULD LIKE TO RELOCATE THOSE SIGNS THAT WOULD BE ON THE WEST OF WASHINGTON BOULEVARD TO THE NORTH SIDE TO FACE THE PARKING LOT AND THE BUSINESSES TO THE NORTH. AS I SAID, PARKING OF THE TWO BUILDINGS IS NORTH OF THE SUBJECT BUILDING. IT OFFERS OPPORTUNITIES FOR BUSINESS IDENTIFICATION FOR THE ENTRANCE OF THE BUILDING. WE FILED FINDINGS OF FACT AND WE WILL READ THROUGH THOSE TODAY AND I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THEM ENTERED INTO THE RECORD AS IF I READ THEM VERBATIM. ALL OF THE COMMENTS HAVE BEEN ATTENDED TO. THERE HAVE BEEN NO ANNOUNCEMENTS FOR THE NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING. STAFF HAS NOT NOTIFIED US OF ANY. THERE IS A POSITIVE CONSIDERATION AND WE APPRECIATE THEIR ANALYSIS OF THE APPLICATION. WE UNDERSTAND THAT THE SIGN PERMITTING WILL BE REQUIRED IF THIS IS APPROVED. WE WOULD LIKE TO RESPECTFULLY REQUEST THE APPROVAL OF -- BASED ON THE FINDINGS HERE.
>> OKAY, THANK YOU. ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE IS INTERESTED IN SPEAKING OR IS IN FAVOR OF OR
AGAINST THE PROJECT? SEEING NONE, ANGIE? >> THANK YOU. THE PETITIONER DID A GOOD JOB OF DESCRIBING THE VARIANCE REQUEST AND PLANNING STAFF IS SUPPORTIVE OF THE VARIANCE BECAUSE IT WILL FACE AWAY FROM THE RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD. WE DO RECOMMEND A
POSITIVE CONSIDERATION OF THIS VARIANCE. THANK YOU. >> I WILL BE A LITTLE BIT NITPICKY. I DID SEE THE PROJECT AND I DID NOTICE ON THE FRONT DOORS THERE WAS A SIGN IN THE
WINDOW, IS THAT ALLOWED? >> THAT IS PART OF EXIT SIGNAGE. IF IT IS THAT SIZE OR
[00:15:02]
SMALLER, IT WILL NOT COUNT TOWARD SIGNAGE. >> ALL RIGHT, I DO NOT HAVE AN
OBJECTION TO THE VARIANCE. I WILL APPROVE THAT. >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
[D. (V) Courtyard by Marriott Hotel Massing Variance.]
>> NEXT ON THE AGENDA, DOCKET NUMBER -- COURTYARD BY MARRIOTT HOTEL MASSING VARIANCE.
>> MY NAME IS SAM PATEL. TODAY WE ARE ASKING FOR A VARIANCE ON THE LOT FOR THE PROPOSED BUILDING ON ILLINOIS STREET REQUIRES IT TO BE 75% WHITE. THE SITE IS LEADING US TO GO A
NEW -- >> THAT'S IT? OKAY, IS THERE ANYBODY THAT WANTS TO USE SPEAK FOR OR AGAINST THE PROJECT? PLEASE COME UP AND SPEAK AT THE MICROPHONE, PLEASE. SPEAK YOUR
NAME AND LOCATION. >> I AM DR. DOUGLAS PETE. I OWN THE DENTISTRY THAT IS ACROSS THE STREET. THERE IS TRAFFIC THAT WE WILL HAVE IN THERE. THIS IS ALREADY BEEN APPROVED, I WAS NOT ABLE TO BE AT THE LAST MEETING. I'M NOT SURE THAT I REALLY UNDERSTAND WHAT THE REQUEST IS FOR. WHEN WE PULLED THESE, WE HAD A LOT OF RESTRICTIONS. I DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THEY ARE ASKING FOR. SEVERAL OF US ARE CONCERNED ABOUT OVERUSE OF THAT PROPERTY AS IT WAS DESCRIBED BEFORE WITH COMMERCIAL ON THE FIRST FLOOR ABOVE AND A SMALL LITTLE ROAD THAT WILL SERVICE THAT. I'M NOT REALLY SURE WHAT THE REQUEST IS FOR , FOR LEHMAN
PEOPLE. >> I SAW ANOTHER HAND. PLEASE COME UP.
>> MY NAME IS MELISSA BRIGHAM, I AM JUST ACROSS THE STREET FROM WHERE THE MOTEL WOULD BE.
I ALSO DON'T HAVE ALL THE INFORMATION ABOUT SPECIFICALLY WHAT THE VARIANCE REQUEST IS FOR AND WHAT HAS BEEN APPROVED. I ALSO HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT TRAFFIC. ABOUT THE INCREASE OF TRAFFIC IN THE AREA AND WHERE THE TRAFFIC AND THE OPENING KNOWN TO THE HOTEL PARKING LOT WOULD BE AND SO FORTH. I'M NOT SURE IF IT IS AN INTERIOR ROAD THERE. IT IS DEFINITELY SOMETHING THAT I DO NOT THINK WOULD BE GREAT FOR OUR AREA IN GENERAL. MY MAIN CONCERN IS
HAVING THAT EXTRA TRAFFIC THERE. >> THANK YOU. ANYONE ELSE? OKAY. THE PATIENT -- PETITIONER DOES HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK ABOUT THOSE CONCERNS.
>> SURE. >> JUST TO CLARIFY YOUR COMMENT. THIS BOXES THE
BUILDING RIGHT HERE. >> WE WILL LET TECHNOLOGY CATCH UP WITH YOU IN JUST A SECOND.
THERE WE GO. >> THIS BOXES A BUILDING AND THE PARKING IS RIGHT HERE. THIS BOXES THE BUILDING RIGHT HERE. THE PARKING IS RIGHT THERE. THIS IS THE ARTISTRY HERE.
RIGHT NOW, WHAT WE ARE ASKING IS FOR 75% OF THE LOT TO BE A LITTLE BIT SMALLER. AND YOUR
[00:20:07]
CONCERN, WE HAVE PARKING RIGHT HERE. >> ILLINOIS STREET IS TO THE
WEST OF THAT? OR TO THE LEFT? MAYBE YES. YES. >> IT IS 102 ROOMS. WE ARE NOT DOING WHAT WE DID IN 2019. WE ARE A FRESH RESTAURANT AND RETAILER. EVERYTHING WILL BE JUST A HOTEL. IT IS FOUR-STORY AND IT IS FULL-SERVICE. THE PREVIOUS PROPOSAL, IT WAS A
LITTLE BIT LOWER. >> OKAY. THANK YOU. >> IS ONLY APPEARING THIS EVENING FOR ONE VARIANCE ISSUE. I'M NOT SURE WHERE THE PROGRESS IS FOR THE PLAN COMMISSION. FOR THE STAFF REPORT, MAYBE YOU CAN CLARIFY THAT. WHAT THE VARIANCE IS
ABOUT. >> THIS HAS BEEN APPROVED BY THE PLAN COMMISSION. THIS IS THE ONLY VARIANCE THEY ARE SEEKING. IT IS 102 ROOMS. THE VARIANCE IS FOR 62.4% OF THE BUILDING RATHER THAN THE 75%. THERE WAS A VARIANCE GRANTED IN 2019. THAT IS WHY IT IS ON YOUR AGAIN. AGAIN, PLANNING STAFF IS SUPPORTIVE OF THIS VARIANCE. IT IS PART OF THE NEW ZONING REQUIREMENT. IT WAS DEVELOPED IN 2001. THIS BUILDING IS COMING 24 YEARS LATER. WE DO RECOMMEND POSITIVE CONSIDERATION OF THIS VARIANCE. THANK YOU.
>> I DO APPRECIATE THE PETITION OFFER. HOPEFULLY THAT WILL CLARIFY THE CONCERN. BASED ON THE STAFF REPORT AND THE RECOMMENDATION I WILL GO AHEAD AND -- ALL RIGHT, NEXT AGENDA
[D. (V) 131 4th St NW Variances.]
ITEM -- EXCUSE ME. >> HI, MY NAME IS LINDSAY PADGETT AND I AM THE OWNER OF THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 131 FORD STREET NORTHWEST. WE ARE HERE TODAY SEEKING APPROVAL OF THE VARIANCE JUST MENTIONED THERE. BEFORE I GET STARTED, I WANT TO SAY A QUICK THANK YOU TO ANYONE WHO PLAYS A PART IN KEEPING THE CITY OF CARMEL SAFE AND BEAUTIFUL. WE MOVED HERE FIVE YEARS AGO AND ARE VERY EXCITED TO BUILD OUR NEW HOME AT THIS PROPOSED LOCATION.
THANK YOU TO ALL OF THOSE IN THE ROOM THAT HELPED MAKE THE CITY SO SAFE AND BEAUTIFUL.
THANK YOU TO THE PLANNING COMMITTEE FOR HELPING US TO DO THIS PROCESS SO FAR. THE FIRST VARIANCE IS DOCKET NUMBER PZ 2023-2013. THIS HAS TO DO WITH THE WIDTH OF THE HOUSE. THE MAX IS 55 FEET. WANT THE PROPOSED WITH TO BE 84 FEET. OUR ORIGINAL HOUSE DESIGN WAS A HOUSE THAT DID HAVE A DEEPER DEPTH AND WAS NOT AS WIDE. THIS REQUIRED US TO USE MORE OF OUR BACKYARD AND BUILD TOWARDS THE SOUTH PROPERTY LINE. SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING THIS LOT, WE WERE MADE AWARE THAT THERE IS A DRAIN LINE THAT GOES ALONG THE WEST PROPERTY LINE AND ACROSS THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF OUR LOT. BECAUSE OF THIS, WE DECIDED TO WORK WITH OUR ARCHITECTS ON A DIFFERENT DESIGN THAT WOULD NOT REQUIRE US TO GO AS DEEP INTO THE LOT AND WE COULD AVOID THAT SECTION OF THE LOT. WE KNOW THAT THE DRAIN CUTS ACROSS THE SOUTHWEST
[00:25:10]
CORNER. THE EXACT LOCATION OF THE DRAIN ALONG THE SOUTHWEST CORNER HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO BE DETERMINED BY THE SURVEYOR'S OFFICE OR UTILITIES. WE DID FILE THE NONENFORCEMENT AND THEY HAVE APPROVED THAT BASED ON THE CURRENT LAYOUT. THE APPROXIMATE LOCATION ON THAT SECTION OF THE LOT WHICH HAS REQUIRED US TO GO WIDER. THIS INCLUDES A 10 FOOT SETBACK ON THE WEST PROPERTY LINE TO ALLOW THE EXTENSION IN THE FUTURE. THE SECOND VARIANCE IS PZ 2024-114. THE MAXIMUM LOT COVERAGE IS 24% TO ALLOW THE PROPOSED 48% MARKUP. THESE ARE AREAS NEAR THE PROPOSED POOL. THESE ARE HIGHLY ATTRACTIVE FEATURES THIS DOES TAKE A SLIGHTLY OVER THE LOT MASS AND BECAUSE OF THAT WE WILL PAY MORE OUT OF THE FUND. AND THEN THE LAST VARIANCE IS PZ 2024-0015. THE GARAGE SETBACK. THE FRONT PHASE OF THE GARAGE MUST BE 15 FEEDBACK FROM THE FRONT LINE OF THE PRINCIPALITY. WE ARE SEEKING A VARIANCE GARAGE IN LINE FROM THE PRINCIPAL BUILDING. ALL OF IT WILL BE LINED UP IN A ROW AND THERE WILL NOT BE A SETBACK. THEY'RE NOT TOO MANY PRACTICAL DIFFICULTIES FOR US. THE FIRST IS THAT WE DID TALK TO ARCHITECTS ABOUT REDESIGNING THIS. THEY DID INDICATE THAT IT WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE. DIRECTLY BEHIND THE GARAGE IS LIVING SPACE. WE HAVE A FULL MASTER SUITE AND THEN UNDER THAT IS A FULL BASEMENT. IT IS POSSIBLE YOU HAVE TO START COMPLETELY FROM SCRATCH AND REDO THE ENTIRE DESIGN. IT WOULD COST QUITE A BIT OF MONEY AND QUITE A BIT OF TIME. THE SECOND PRACTICAL DIFFICULTY RELATES TO THE DRAIN. IT WOULD GO 15 FEET BACK TOWARDS THIS KNOWN LOCATION OF THE DRAIN LINE. AGAIN, IT WILL BE THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF THE LOT. SO THAT WE DO NOT HAVE ANY DISRUPTION THROUGH THE DRAIN LINE THERE.WE HAVE MADE OTHER IMPROVEMENTS FROM THIS REQUEST. THERE ARE SOME THAT HAVE ALREADY BEEN ISSUED WITH LIBERTIES FROM U.P.S. AND FEDEX. DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE HOUSE IS ON A SINGLE LANE. IT'S PRETTY TIGHT BACK IN THERE. THEY DID ASK US TO MOVE OUR GARAGE DOWN THE STEP TO HELP WITH THE TIGHTER DRIVEWAY CONDITIONS ALREADY EXIST. WE DO UNDERSTAND IT DOES MAKE SENSE TO HAVE A DELIVERY TRUCK PULLING INTO DELIVER ON A SINGLE LANE DEAD-END STREET.
THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT CURRENTLY EXISTS TODAY AND NOT A PROBLEM WE ARE COMMUNICATING WITH THIS DESIGN. WE DID HAVE PRACTICAL DIFFICULTIES OF SETTING THE GARAGE BACK. A SINGLE LANE DEAD-END STREET WOULD EXIST AND WE WOULD NEED A DRIVEWAY TO TURN DELIVERY TRUCK SURROUNDING. IF WE WERE TO EXTEND OUR HOUSE AND OUR DRIVEWAY COULD BE -- WE WOULD HAVE A REASON. WE CAN HAVE THEM PARK IN AN AREA OFF THE STREET AND THAT WOULD BLOCK THE
[00:30:01]
NEIGHBORS ENTRANCE TO THEIR PROPERTIES. ON FIRST AVENUE THERE IS PUBLIC PARKING JUST DOWN THE STREET WITH THOSE AREAS. THE APPROVAL OF THE VARIANCES WILL NOT BE TO THE PUBLIC HEALTH AND SAFETY COMMITTEE.[00:38:14]
>> ONE QUESTION I HAVE COME I DON'T KNOW IF YOU CAN ANSWER IT OR NOT. WITH THE EXISTING HOUSE GARAGE FROM THE STREET, WHERE THAT WOULD BE RELATIVE TO THE NEW GARAGE SPACE. IF YOU WOULD ANSWER UP HERE PLEASE. WHAT I'M GETTING AT IS THAT IS THE GARAGE SITTING BACK FROM
WHERE IT SHOULD BE? >> I'M NOT SURE. THERE IS THE SITE PLAN AND SURVEY. OKAY, COMMENTS ARE CLOSED. THANK YOU. OKAY, THEY HAVE MET ALL THE SIDE YARD REQUIREMENTS. EVEN WITH THE WIDTH OF THE HOUSE. THEY DO MEET THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE SIDE YARD.
>> THERE IS A FIVE FOOT SIDE YARD SETBACK. I UNDERSTAND THE PRACTICAL HARDSHIP OF NOT DESIGNING A HOUSE WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO FIND OUT WHERE UTILITIES AND EASEMENTS ARE.
YOU HAVE DONE YOUR DUE DILIGENCE IT SOUNDS LIKE. IT SEEMS TO ME LIKE YOU HAVE DONE WHAT YOU CAN TO MEET THE PRACTICAL OBLIGATION OF THAT. YOU TALKED ABOUT MOVING YOUR
[00:40:05]
HOUSE BACK A FEW FEET. THERE IS A CONSIDERATION OF THAT. TO HELP YOUR NEIGHBORS WITH THEIR CONCERN OF BEING ABLE TO TURN AROUND AND SO FORTH. HAVING SAID THAT, I WILL PROOF THESE VARIANCES BASED ON THE CONDITIONS THAT WERE WRITTEN UP IN THE DEPARTMENT'S RECOMMENDATIONS. THANK YOU. OKAY. LAST THIS AFTERNOON IS THE SALEM GUESTHOUSE VARIANCES.[D. (V) Sailer Guest House Variances.]
DOCKETS NUMBER PZ 206 B. >> GOOD AFTERNOON, I AM AT 209 NORTH STREET HERE IN NOBLESVILLE. I'M YOUR WITH CONTRACTOR LLOYD BURCH. FOR 108 SPRINGVILLE ROAD. FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE GUESTHOUSE. THE PROPERTY IS ON NINE ACRES. IT WAS BUILT IN 1999. IT WILL BE UNIQUE IN A COUPLE DIFFERENT WAYS. THE MAIN RESIDENCE IS SETBACK FROM SPRINGVILLE ROAD OVER 750 FEET. BEHIND THAT, THE TYPOGRAPHY DROPS OFF PRETTY EXTREMELY. THE OTHER ASPECT IS THAT IT IS HEAVILY WOODED. OUR REQUEST IS ALSO UNIQUE. WE PROPOSE A GUESTHOUSE . NOT JUST
A REGULAR RESIDENCE. WE DESIGNED THIS HOUSE -- >> CAN SOMEONE CLOSE THE DOOR
PLEASE? IT IS A LITTLE BIT NOISY OUT THERE. >> WANT THE GUESTHOUSE TO COMPLEMENT ARCHITECTURE WISE WITH THE MAIN RESIDENCE. THE PURPOSE OF THE SETBACK VARIANCES AS WELL AND THE ANCESTRY BUILDING. YOU DO NOT WANT AN UGLY GARAGE IN FRONT OF THE HOUSE. THERE IS A STATE TYPESETTING FOR THE GUESTHOUSE FOR THE RESIDENCE. AND THEN -- YEAH. THAT WRAPS UP MY INTRODUCTION. I DO HAVE A PHOTO HERE OF THE RESIDENCE.
>> IF YOU WERE MINE. YEAH. >> I THINK I HAVE IT, IT IS HERE FROM THIS MORNING.
>> THANK YOU. DOES ANYBODY WANT TO SPEAK IN FAVOR OF OR AGAINST THE PROJECT? SEEING NONE, THANK
YOU. >> THERE ARE TWO VARIANCES REQUESTED. 20 FOOT IS REQUESTED. A MAXIMUM OF 18 IS ALLOWED. THESE WERE SETBACK. WITH THIS BEING A 9.3 ACRE SITE, THIS IS SETBACK 700 FEET FROM THE ENTRANCE. IT IS 200 FEET WITH ADEQUATE BUFFER FROM THE BUFFER. THIS WAS THE ADOPTION OF THE FINDINGS. THANK YOU.
>> WE DO APPRECIATE THE PHOTOGRAPH. THANK YOU FOR THE INFORMATION YOU ALSO SUBMITTED WITH THE ELEVATIONS. GIVEN ALL THE CONSIDERATIONS, I WILL APPROVE BOTH VARIANCES. THANK YOU. I
