AND THEN TO THE WEST THERE IS MORE OPEN SPACE OWNED BY THE SCHOOL. SO KNOWING THAT, PLANNING STAFF DOES RECOMMEND CONSIDERATION OF THIS PETITION. ALSO THE PETITIONER HAS PROVIDED THE DOCUMENTATION TO SHOW THAT THEY ARE A PERMANENT RESIDENT OF THAT DWELLING. SO AGAIN WE DO RECOMMEND CONSIDERATION OF THE PETITION.
>> THANK YOU. ALL PLANNING AND ZONING REVIEW COMMENTS HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED. THE CARMEL COAT REINFORCEMENT DEPARTMENT LET US KNOW THIS PETITION IS BEFORE THE BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS BECAUSE THEY SENT A VIOLATION LETTER TO THE OWNER NOTIFYING THEY WERE OPERATING A SHORT-TERM RENTAL WITHOUT APPROVAL.

THEY'RE BUILDING A HOUSE THAT IS 300 FEET AWAY FROM THE ROAD.
THIS WOULD PUT THE KIDS TO HUNDRED FEET CLOSER TO THE ROAD
FOR INCLEMENT WEATHER. >> THAT IS IT. OKAY THIS IS THE PUBLIC HEARING IS THERE ANYONE IN SUPPORT OF THIS PETITION THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK? SEEING NONE IS THERE ANYONE IN OPPOSITION TO THIS PETITION THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK.

DEPARTMENTS REPORT PLEASE. >> SO THIS IS A FAIRLY SMALL BUS STOP SHELTER FOR THE CHILDREN OF THE OWNERS OF THE PROPERTY. IT WILL SIT AROUND 94 FEET BACK FROM THE FRONT PROPERTY LINE. IT WILL ALSO BE SCREENED WITH WALLS AND LANDSCAPING MOUNT. YOU REALLY COULD NOT SEE IT FROM THE STREET UNLESS YOU REALLY TRIED. ALSO AS PART OF THE OVERALL PROJECT THE PETITIONER STILL NEEDS TO DEDICATE STREET RIGHT-OF-WAY AND THEY ARE CURRENTLY WORKING WITH THE CITY ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT ON THAT. THAT WILL MOST LIKELY OCCUR AT THE NOVEMBER 6 THE BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS MEETING. WE DO RECOMMEND POSITIVE CONSIDERATION OF THE VARIANCE WITH A CONDITION OF THE PETITIONER PROVIDING US WITH A COPY OF THAT RECORDED STREET WHITE AWAY DOCUMENT.
>> THANK YOU. PETITIONER NEEDS TO KNOW THERE ARE SOME CONDITIONS FOR THIS APPROVAL. I'M PRETTY SURE THAT YOU ARE AWARE OF THAT. IF NOT PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT YOU CONSULT WITH THE DEPARTMENT TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY HAVE ALL THE RECOMMENDATIONS FOLLOWED. WITH THAT I PRONOUNCE THIS TO BE

>> ARE YOU? OKAY. THANK YOU. >> IS THERE ANYONE IN OPPOSITION TO THIS PETITION? IF NOT I SEE NONE. DEPARTMENTS
REPORT PLEASE. >> THANK YOU. PLANNING STAFF DID SPEAK WITH THE CARMEL ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT ABOUT THIS REQUEST. THAT DEPARTMENT WOULD BE SUPPORTIVE OF UP TO 45% LOT COVERAGE. BUT IF THEY ARE GOING TO REQUEST 48%, SOME ADDITIONAL MEASURES WILL HAVE TO BE PROVIDED. TO OFFSET THAT INCREASE. AND HARD SURFACE. SO PLANNING STAFF DOES FALL IN LINE WITH WHAT THE CARMEL ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT RECOMMENDS. WE WOULD RECOMMEND POSITIVE CONSIDERATION OF 45% OR IF THE PETITIONER DOES WANT TO GO ALL THE WAY UP TO 48%, THEY WOULD HAVE TO WORK WITH THE ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT ON THOSE ADDITIONAL MEASURES TO BE APPROVED.
>> PETITIONER ARE YOU WANTING TO GO TO 48%?
>> [INAUDIBLE] >> OKAY. THE DEPARTMENT IS RECOMMENDING POSITIVE CONSIDERATION AND SO WILL I PROVIDED YOU FOLLOW THE RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE CITY
DEPARTMENT. THANK YOU. >> NEXT ONE IS SHORT-TERM
[D. (SE) Elliott Short Term Residential Rental Renewal.]
RESIDENTIAL RENEWAL. 157. >> GOOD EVENING. THOMAS ELLIOTT REQUESTING RENEWAL OF OUR PROPERTY AT 108 28 TIMBERLANE.
SHORT-TERM RESIDENTIAL RENEWAL. IT IS OUR PRIMARY RESIDENCE.
WE'VE LIVED THERE SINCE JULY OF 1995. THINGS ARE GOING VERY WELL. MY WIFE AND I HIGHER CHRISTINE TO DO OUR MANAGEMENT.
IT IS PROFESSIONALLY DONE. EVERYTHING IS MONITORED WELL.
WE HAVE SECURITY CAMERAS. WE HAVE STRICT RULES. EVERYTHING HAS BEEN VERY SMOOTH THIS YEAR. THANK YOU.
>> THANK YOU. IS THERE ANYONE IN SUPPORT OF THIS PETITION THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK? ANYONE OPPOSED? THANK YOU.
>> I'M SORRY. I'M SORRY I DID NOT SEE YOU.
>> BY ALL MEANS HOW MANY OF YOU WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK?
>> TO I SEE THREE -- YOU HAVE UP TO 15 MINUTES, FIVE MINUTES EACH. WOULD YOU PLEASE COME UP AND ADDRESS YOUR CONCERNS?
>> GOOD AFTERNOON MY NAME IS GEORGE WILEY SINCE 2015 MY WIFE AND KIDS THAT LIVED AT JORDAN WOODS. WE LIVE JUST ONE HOUSE AWAY FROM THE PROPOSED AIRBNB RENEWAL. TODAY FOR MULTIPLE REASONS. FIRST WE RECEIVED WE HAVE NOT RECEIVED A FORMAL LETTER OR COMMUNICATION REGARDING THIS RENEWAL. OUTSIDE OF THE QR CODE ON THE SIGN. SO WE WERE KIND OF UNSURE OF WHAT WAS GOING ON. THAT IS WHY WE SHOWED UP TODAY. LAST YEAR WHEN I SPOKE WITH OUR FORMER NEIGHBOR AS HE WAS PREPARING TO MOVE HE MENTIONED THE OWNERS WHO OFTEN VISITED OUT-OF-STATE SAUL SHORT-TERM RENTALS AS A WAY TO GENERATE INCOME. ON A
[00:10:02]
HOME THAT WOULD OTHERWISE BE EMPTY. HE ASSURED US THEIR INTENT WAS TO KEEP THE RENTALS LIMITED TO FRIENDS AND FAMILY SO WE DID WOULD NOT NEED TO WORRY ABOUT THAT. INITIALLY IT SEEMED TO BE TRUE AS THE HOUSE SAT VACANT IN 2023. BUT THIS YEAR THE AIRBNB RENTALS HAVE INCREASED AND ASIDE FROM LAWN SERVICE AND CLEANING CREWS THE OWNERS SEEM TO RARELY USE IT AS THEIR PRIMARY RESIDENCE. SO THAT IS OUR BIGGEST CONCERN. WE ALSO SEEM TO BE CONFUSION FOR RENTERS OF AIRBNB LISTING LOCATION. MULTIPLE TIMES GUESTS HAS PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAYS AND TURNED AROUND IN THE STREET. TRY TO USING THE GARAGE KEYPADS AND HAVE A VERSION ENTERED OUR NEIGHBORS HOME BY MISTAKE.BECAUSE OF THIS WE'VE HAD TO STEP UP OUR OWN SECURITY INSTALLING CAMERAS AND UPGRADING OUR GARAGE KEYPAD WITH A BUILT-IN CAMERA AND BEING INTENTIONAL ABOUT KEEPING OUR KIDS NEIGHBORHOOD SAFETY. A FAMILY NEIGHBORHOOD AND MANY CHILDREN WALK AND BIKE EARLY MORNINGS TO LATE AFTERNOONS.
SOME LIKE OUR DAUGHTER WHO HAS SPECIAL NEEDS WHICH MAKES HER MORE VULNERABLE TO THE UNPREDICTABILITY OF UNVENTED GUESTS. THERE ARE ALSO SEVERAL SCUBA STOPS AROUND THE LOCATION WHERE MANY CHILDREN INCLUDING OUR YOUNGEST ATTEND AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL LESS THAN A MILE AWAY. WE ARE NOT OBLIVIOUS TO THE FACT THAT IN REALITY THAT THINGS CAN HAPPEN ANYWHERE. BUT WE SURE DON'T WANT TO MAKE IT EASIER. AS A FATHER OF FOUR MY CHILDREN'S SAFETY IS MY TOP PRIORITY. AS A NEIGHBOR I FEEL RESPONSIBLE TO SPEAK UP FOR THOSE WHO MAY FEEL PRESSURED BY FALSE ASSURANCES AND UNFULFILLED PROMISES. I'M ASKING YOU TO RECONSIDER AND REJECT HIS PROPOSAL. THANK YOU.
>> NEXT >> MY NAME IS JACKSON WEST AND MY WIFE SYDNEY AND I WE ARE JUST ALMOST AT THE ONE-YEAR MARK SINCE WE MOVED INTO THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF JORDAN WOODS.
WE FOUND THIS HOME AND FEEL FORTUNATE TO LIVE THERE. WE FELT WELCOMED TO STAY ONE BY GEORGE AND GINNY AND TOM AND HIS WIFE KAREN. WE ARE PRETTY EASY-GOING PEOPLE AND NOT MUCH BOTHERS US WHEN IT COMES TO THE NEIGHBORS. IN FACT HAVING ESTABLISH RELATIONSHIPS WITH OUR NEIGHBORS IS ONE OF THE REASONS WE ARE IN LOVE WITH OUR HOME. THAT BEING SAID, WE FEEL RESPONSIBILITY TO SHARE OUR EXPERIENCES AND CONCERNS PERTAINING TO SHORT-TERM RENTALS IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD. WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE MAINTAIN AND PROTECT THE VALUES OF THE PLACE WE CALL HOME. WITH SO MANY FAMILIES THROUGHOUT THE NEIGHBORHOOD WE ALSO FEEL CHILDREN'S SAFETY IS THE FIRST PRIORITY. WE TRIED MANY -- WHO HAVE CONCERNS FOR THE CHILDREN SAFETY SEEING WE WANT TO GROW OUR OWN FAMILY SOMEDAY THIS HAS BECOME A FOCUS OF US AS WELL. AS FAR PERSONAL EXPENSES SINCE MOVING IN THE FIRST WANT TO SAY TOM AND KAREN HAVE BEEN GREAT NEIGHBORS. HOWEVER BEING NEXT DOOR NEIGHBORS TO THE AIRBNB WE HAVE EXPERIENCED A FEW HICCUPS WITHIN THE YEAR. THAT WE FEEL ARE IMPORTANT TO SHARE. WE'VE HAD MULTIPLE AIRBNB GUESTS PULLED INTO OUR DRIVEWAY USING IT AS A TURNAROUND. GUESS TRYING TO OPEN OUR GARAGE WITH A COLD THAT DOES NOT WORK. AND EVEN ONE GUESS ENTERING OUR HOME. DURING THE SUPER BOWL WEEKEND. WE HAVE FOUND IT IS HARD TO MAINTAIN A BALANCE OF BOUNDARIES AND PRIVACY WITH REVOLVING GUESTS. DESPITE THE EFFORTS FROM TOM KAREN AND THEIR MANAGEMENT TEAM. AT THE AIRBNB. OUR GOAL TONIGHT WAS TO SHARE THE FACTS AND PRIORITIZE SAFETY FOR ALL THE FAMILIES IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD. THANK YOU.
>> CAN I SAY SOMETHING REALLY QUICK?
>> YOU WILL BE ABLE TO REBUT AFTER ALL HAVE BEEN HURT. THANK
YOU. >> MY NAME IS GREG I'M ACTUALLY SPEAKING FOR MY MOM MOTHER. ALONG WITH THESE NEIGHBORS HERE I'M ALSO AGAINST THE AIRBNB. AS BEING A LONGTIME MEMBER OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD I LIVED THERE MY WHOLE ENTIRE LIFE. IT IS A FAMILY KNIT COMMUNITY NEIGHBORHOOD. EVERYBODY KNOWS EVERYBODY. WITH THAT SAID HAVING AIRBNB'S SUCH AS THIS WITH REVOLVING PEOPLE WHO WE DON'T KNOW COMING IN CAN CAUSE IMPACTS ON THE NEIGHBORHOOD THE CHARACTER OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD. LEADS TO REDUCED SENSE OF COHESION AMONG PERMANENT RESIDENCE BUT AS A REAL ESTATE AGENT I ALSO SEE THE PROPERTY VALUES CAN BE AFFECTED OVER LONG TERM. I'VE SEEN AIRBNB'S POP UP IN ONE NEIGHBORHOOD AND THEN ANOTHER ONE AND IT JUST CONTINUES DOWN THE LINE. THAT WILL CONTINUE NOT HOPEFULLY WITH THIS WE CAN PUT A STOP TO
[00:15:02]
THAT. BUT I'M FEARFUL OF MORE OF THESE POPPING UP. AND MORE ISSUES ARE SAFETY CONCERNS. OF OUR CHILDREN AND OUR OTHER ELDERLY FAMILY MEMBERS THAT STILL LIVE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD WHO HAVE BEEN THERE SINCE DAY ONE. AND I ALSO WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THESE DON'T CONTINUE FOR OBVIOUSLY THOSE REASONS AND REDUCING THE ABILITY FOR LONG-TERM RESIDENTS WHO ACTUALLY CARES FOR AND WANTS TO BE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD OTHER THAN SHORT-TERM RENTALS OR AT LEAST PEOPLE ARE HOTEL GUESTS COMING TO BE HERE FOR A WEEKEND AND LEAVE AND DON'T REALLY HAVE ANY KIND OF INSIGHT OR CARE FOR THE NEIGHBORHOOD.THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >> THANK YOU.
>> THE PETITIONER PLEASE REBUT?
>> CAN I SAY SOMETHING? ON THE PROPERTY MANAGER.
>> COME CLOSER TO THE MICROPHONE SO I CAN HEAR YOU
PICK >> I AM THE PROPERTY MANAGER KAREN AND TOM HAVE HIRED. I WANTED TO SAY A FEW THINGS BEFORE HE SPEAKS. I TAKE GREAT PRIDE IN THE WORK THAT I DO.
I'M A STAY-AT-HOME MOM. KAREN AND TOM HAVE HIRED ME AND PAID ME TO DO THIS. I BET THE GUESTS AND SPEAK TO THE GUESTS EVERY TIME THERE IS A BOOKING. I REMIND THEM OF ALL THE RULES. I REMIND THEM IT IS A RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD WITH KIDS. I TELL THEM EXACTLY WHAT THEY NEED TO DO WHERE TO PARK AND WHAT THE QUIET HOURS ARE. THERE ARE FOUR CAMERAS BUT I WANT TO SPEAK TO THE FAX TODAY. I APPRECIATE THE NEIGHBORS CAME AND THEY TALK ABOUT CHILDREN SAFETY AND I THINK A LOT OF IT IS DRIVEN BY EMOTIONS AND OPINIONS NOT ON THE ACTUAL FACTS. THERE HAS NOT BEEN A SINGLE INCIDENT. THINK JACKSON SAID THAT SOMEONE ENTERED YOUR HOME DURING SUPER BOWL WEEKEND. WE DID NOT HAVE A BOOKING ON THE SUPER BOWL WEEKEND. I CAN ASSURE YOU OF
THAT. >> KNOW YOU GUYS CAN GO I HAVE
MY CALENDAR. >> PLEASE ADDRESS THE CHAIR.
>> THERE WAS NOBODY THERE. ANOTHER FACT IS THAT JACK THEY HAVE MY CONTACT INFORMATION. NUMEROUS TIMES I'VE SAID IF YOU HAVE ANY ISSUES IF YOU NEED ANYTHING I LIVED SEVEN MINUTES AWAY. I WILL BE THERE IMMEDIATELY. EVERY TIME SOMEBODY IS THERE I'M CHECKING CAMERAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT BECAUSE MY CHILDREN WAKE UP AT ALL HOURS. THERE IS NEVER ANY ISSUES. THE NEIGHBORS KNOW IF THERE IS AN ISSUE THEY CAN CALL ME. THEY DON'T WANT TO CALL ME THEY CAN CALL THE POLICE. THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A SINGLE ISSUE EVERYBODY HAS OBEY THE RULES. THESE ARE FAMILIES THAT STAY THERE FOR FAMILY REUNION. WE HAD SOMEBODY GATHER FOR A FUNERAL. THEY WERE HONORING THEIR MOTHER. THEY WANTED TO BE TOGETHER IN A HOME VERSUS A HOTEL. TOM AND KAREN ARE ACTUALLY ANOTHER FACT THEY ARE NEVER THERE. THEY ARE THERE EITHER THEY ARE THERE EVERY OTHER MONTH IF NOT EVERY MONTH OR THEIR CHILDREN ARE THERE.
THAT IS ANOTHER FACT THAT WE COULD PROVIDE YOU WITH. WE NEED TO LISTEN TO FACTS AND NOT JUST THE EMOTIONS AND OPINIONS OF AN AIRBNB. THIS TALK ABOUT CHILDREN SAFETY I HAVE THREE CHILDREN MYSELF. SO I TAKE THIS JOB VERY SERIOUSLY. I SPEAK TO THE GUESTS ABOUT DRIVE SLOW THIS IS THE SPEED LIMIT THESE ARE THE INSTRUCTIONS. AND THEY ALL SAY WE UNDERSTAND. WE ARE GOING TO TAKE GREAT CARE OF YOUR HOME AND TREATED LIKE OUR OWN. PLEASE DON'T LET THEIR EMOTIONS AND THEIR OPINIONS DRIVE YOUR DECISION WHEN WE'VE DONE NOTHING BUT TAKING THIS SERIOUSLY AND DONE EVERYTHING RIGHT.
>> THANK YOU. MR. PETITIONER I WILL CONSIDER THAT RESPONSE IS YOUR REBUTTAL UNLESS YOU HAVE A FEW MORE THINGS TO ADD. TO ADDRESS SOME OF THE CONCERNS OF YOUR NEIGHBORS PICK
>> AS THIS IS OUR SECOND RENEWAL. AS WE PUT IN OUR DOCUMENTATION BOTH TIMES THIS OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO RENT OUR HOME. ALSO GIVES US AN OPPORTUNITY TO CARE FOR MY MOTHER IN LAW WHO IS IN FLORIDA. SHE WENT THROUGH SOME SERIOUS ILLNESSES. SO WE ARE DOWN THERE BACK-AND-FORTH HELPING WITH EXPENSES AS WELL IS HER HEALTHCARE MANAGEMENT.
THAT IS ONE OF THE REASONS AS WELL WE ARE NOT ALWAYS THERE. I JUST WANTED TO PUT THAT OUT THERE.
>> THANK YOU PICK >> ANYTHING ELSE? I DON'T WANT TO CUT YOU SHORT. DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING ELSE?
>> I WANTED TO SAY SOMETHING ABOUT THE REALTOR. I'M ALSO A LICENSED REALTOR. I THINK THIS IS A WAY FOR HIM TO EMAIL ALL THE NEIGHBORS AND GET HIM MARKET HIS NAME. IT IS TOUGH TO BE IN REAL ESTATE RIGHT NOW. AND CREATE THIS FEAR AND TO THEM ABOUT THE HOME VALUES IN SHORT-TERM RENTALS. I KNOW A
LOT ABOUT SHORT-TERM RENTALS. >> THE AUDIENCE NEEDS TO REMAIN
QUIET. >> I'M SORRY LET ME INTERRUPT YOU. YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO BE ADDRESSING THE CONCERNS OF THE NEIGHBORS. ARE YOU DOING THAT OR JUST BUILDING UPON THAT FOR
SOME OTHER REASON? >> ALL I'M SAYING IS HE IS
[00:20:01]
REACHING OUT TO NEIGHBORS AND CREATING FEAR. THERE IS NO FEAR. THERE IS NO FACTS TO BACK UP WHAT HE IS TELLING THE NEIGHBORS PICK WE'VE HEARD ENOUGH. CH. I THINK->> I'M SORRY I DON'T THINK WE WILL ALLOW REBUTTAL.
>> DEPARTMENTS REPORT PLEASE PICK
>> THANK YOU. >> THE PUBLIC HEARING IS OVER.
WE ALLOW FIVE MINUTES EACH ONE OF YOU TO BE HEARD. THAT IS THE END OF THE PUBLIC HEARING. I CANNOT ALLOW YOU TO HAVE
FURTHER COMMENT. I APOLOGIZE. >> WE ALLOW THREE PEOPLE WHO RAISE THEIR HANDS. IN THOSE THREE PEOPLE SPOKE. SO I'M SORRY THAT IS ALL THE TIME WE CAN ALLOW. DEPARTMENTS REPORT
PLEASE PICK >> THANK YOU. THE UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT ORDINANCE DOES STATE AN APPLICATION FOR RENEWAL OF A SPECIAL EXCEPTIONS SHALL GENERALLY BE ENTITLED TO FAVORABLE CONSIDERATION. WE HAVE ALSO SPOKEN WITH OUR CODE ENFORCEMENT DEPARTMENT AND THEY DO NOT HAVE ANY VIOLATIONS OR COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SITE FROM THE PAST YEAR. SO KNOWING THIS PLANNING STAFF DOES RECOMMEND POSITIVE CONSIDERATION OF THIS RENEWAL REQUEST. IF APPROVEDIT IS ONLY VALID FOR ONE YEAR.
THANK YOU. >> I'M SYMPATHETIC TO THE CONCERNS THE NEIGHBORS HALF. BUT I THINK OUR DEPARTMENTS HANDS ARE TIED WHEN THE PETITIONER FULFILLS ALL THE OBLIGATIONS THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO FULFILL. AND WHEN THE PETITIONER HAS ADDRESSED ALL THE PLANNING AND ZONING REVIEW COMMENTS. AND WHEN THEY HAVE FINDINGS OF FACT. WE HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO APPROVE THE PETITION. THE PETITION IS THUS
[D. (SE) Noguera Short Term Residential Rental.]
APPROVED. THANK YOU PICK >> NEXT APPLICATION IS DOCKET
NUMBER PZ-2024 00161. >> GOOD EVENING. I'M GOING TO BE TRANSLATING FOR HER. I WOULD JUST SPEAK IN THE FIRST PERSON LIKE SHE IS. SO EVERYBODY UNDERSTANDS. MY NAME IS -- AND I'M HERE TO PRESENT A PETITION FOR AN AIRBNB APPROVAL.
>> THIS APPLICATION IS BASED ON AN APPLICATION FOR A ROOM FOR TWO PEOPLE WHO WOULD LIKE TO STAY IN A PRIVATE PLACE. FOR THE DAYS FOR VACATION, REST, WORK REASONS AND OTHER ANY
OTHER KIND OF STAY. >> I'M SORRY TO HEAR THERE WAS SOME COMPLAINTS ABOUT MY REQUESTS. MY INTENTION IS NOT TO HARM THE NEIGHBORHOOD IN ANY WAY. IT IS JUST TO COME UP WITH PASSIVE SOME PASSIVE INCOME FOR MY FAMILY.
>> I WAS NOT AWARE OF THE BAD EVENTS THAT HAPPEN IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD OTHER NEIGHBORHOODS ARE IN THE NEIGHBORHOODS WITH AIRBNB'S. MUCH LESS THE INCREASE OF THOSE EVENTS OR POSSIBLE INCREASE OF THOSE EVENTS WITH THE USE OF AIRBNB'S. BUT THEY ARE VERY COMMON IN THE SUBURBAN OR URBAN PLACES IN INDIANA. AND THEY ARE USED WITHOUT USUALLY ANY PROBLEMS. I UNDERSTAND THE CONCERNS OF MY NEIGHBORS BUT
THAT'S IT. >> THE AIRBNB APPLICATION
[00:25:25]
PROCESS PRECISELY ALLOWS ME TO FILTER COMMENTS AND DIFFERENT APPLICANTS TO SEE WHAT KIND OF REVIEWS I'VE HAD IN THE PAST FOR THEIR USE OF AIRBNB'S. AS A HOST I CAN ACCEPT OR REJECT RESERVATIONS DEPENDING ON WHAT THE PEOPLE'S REVIEWS HAVEBEEN. >> WE WERE A CALM AND RESPECTFUL FAMILY. WE ALWAYS LOOK OUT FOR OUR SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF OTHERS. I LIVE WITH A SIX-YEAR-OLD MOTHER 60-YEAR-OLD MOTHER WHO IS HYPERTENSIVE. WE WOULD NEVER PUT HER IN ANY KIND OF SITUATION WHERE SHE WOULD BE IN HARMS WAY BY SOMEONE THAT STAYS AT THE HOME OF THAT WILL CAUSE ISSUES IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD OR IN THE HOME ITSELF.
>> WE LOVE THIS COMMUNITY. THE ONLY THING WE WANT TO HAVE IS TO GENERATE INCOME FOR MY FAMILY. WE PACK GUESTS FROM OTHER COUNTRIES LIKE FRANCE ENGLAND LONDON ENGLAND CANADA PEOPLE VISITING FOR MEDICAL REASONS. AND THEY TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE CALM CITY THAT WE HAVE. IT IS NOT CONSIDERED -- WE ARE NOT CONSIDERING HARMING THE CITY BUT WE BELIEVE IT ACTUALLY CREATES AN OPPORTUNITY TO ENCOURAGE TOURISM FOR THE CITY. WELCOMING PEOPLE FROM DIFFERENT PLACES..
>> WITH A LITTLE SPANISH THAT I KNOW.
>> THIS IS NOW THE PUBLIC HEARING FOR THIS CASE. IS THERE ANYONE IN SUPPORT OF THIS PETITION? SEEING NONE IS THERE ANYONE OPPOSED? ONE OPPOSED. TO OPPOSE. HOW MANY WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK? TWO OPPOSE. YOU HAVE 15 MINUTES. 7 1/2 MINUTES EACH.

MINUTES. >> TURNED THE LIGHT ON PLEASE UNDERNEATH. MY NAME IS JOHN ESTIMATE THE -- WHICH IS THE PROPERTIES -- OUR CONCERN IS TO MAKE SURE WE DON'T HAVE REPEAT OF THE [INAUDIBLE] PLACE INCIDENT IN JULY OF THIS YEAR.
I TO UNDERSTAND THIS IS ONLY ONE ROOM THEY RENTED THE FAMILY
WILL BE LIVING THERE? >> THE ENTIRE HOUSE WILL BE
USING AS AN ART AIRBNB? >> I'M SORRY WILL YOU POSING A
QUESTION? >> WHAT WAS THE QUESTION?
>> WILL THE ENTIRE HOME BE USED AS AN AIRBNB OR WILL IT BE ONLY
ONE ROOM? >> WE WILL LET THE PETITIONER RESPONSE YOU WHEN THEY HAVE THE TIME. GO AHEAD.
>> LIKE I SAID EARLIER I WANT TO MAKE SURE WE DON'T HAVE
CHANCE TO DRUGS OR SOMETHING. >> IT IS BEEN A QUIET COMMUNITY. VERY REASONABLY PRICED. RENTALS -- AS WE KNOW YOU CAN'T FIND ANYTHING LUXURY APARTMENTS. THAT IS ALL I'M
SAYING. THANK YOU PICK >> NEXT
>> WE ARE FROM THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND ARE OPPOSED TO THIS.
[00:30:01]
BECAUSE OF THE ISSUES AIRBNB'S CAUSE WITHIN NEIGHBORHOODS.THERE IS KIDS THAT LIVE THERE. ESTABLISHED HOMEOWNERS. I JUST THINK HAVING CONSTANT PEOPLE COMING IN AND OUT THAT ARE NOT PART OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD ARE NOT GOING TO TREAT THE NEIGHBORHOOD AS THEIR OWN. IT IS NOT SOMETHING WE WANT TO SEE IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD. I KNOW INDIANAPOLIS -- HAS HAD ISSUES WITH THAT. WE USED TO LIVE IN DOWNTOWN INDIANAPOLIS AND WE HAD THREE AIRBNB'S ACROSS THE STREET FROM OUR HOUSE. THERE WAS ACTUALLY A SHOOTOUT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET. ME AND MY BOYFRIEND AND MY KIDS WERE HOME. IT IS NOT SOMETHING WE WANT TO HAVE HAPPEN IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD HERE. I ALSO HAVE THE SAME QUESTION IS IT GOING TO BE ONE ROOM OR THE WHOLE ENTIRE HOUSE? HOW WOULD THAT BE REGULATED AND HOW WOULD WE KNOW
EXACTLY HOW IT IS BEING USED? >> THANK YOU. EXCUSE ME DID YOU STATE YOUR NAME FOR THE RECORD?
>> TIA EVERETT. ALSO WE HAVE 20 FOR SIGNATURES FROM NEIGHBORS AROUND THEY ARE. JUST ON GENTOO THAT ARE ALSO OPPOSE.
>> WILL YOU SUBMIT THEM TO THE COURT?
>> WE HAVE THAT ON THE RECORD. YES.
>> WOULD YOU RESPOND TO THE QUESTIONS THAT WERE POSED BY
YOUR NEIGHBORS? >> I JUST WANT TO CLARIFY THE QUESTION WAS -- IF THE WHOLE HOME --
>> IS AT THE WHOLE HOME OR ONE ROOM?
>> IT IS ONLY ONE ROOM WITH A PRIVATE ENTRANCE.
>> OKAY >> WAS THERE ANOTHER QUESTION
SPECIFICALLY WE CAN ANSWER? >> THANK YOU. DEPARTMENTS
REPORT PLEASE. >> AS THE PETITIONER STATED THEY WOULD LIKE TO RENT OUT ONE ROOM FROM THEIR THREE-BEDROOM HOME. THEY HAVE PROVIDED DOCUMENTATION TO SHOW THEY ARE PERMANENT RESIDENT WITHIN THAT DWELLING. AGAIN WE HAVE ALSO SPOKEN WITH HER, CODE ENFORCEMENT DEPARTMENT AND THEY HAVE NOT HAD ANY ISSUES OR COMPLAINTS WITH THIS PROPERTY.
SO WE DO RECOMMEND THAT YOU CONSIDER THIS REQUEST. THANK
YOU PICK >> AT THE RISK OF REPEATING ALL PLANNING AND ZONING COMMENTS HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED. THE CARMEL
[D. (V) Carmel High School Stadium Grandstand Variances.]
COAT REINFORCEMENT DEPARTMENT HAS NOT HAD ISSUES OR COMPLAINTS WITH THIS PROPERTY. THIS PETITION IS APPROVED.>> NEXT, HIGH SCHOOL STADIUM GRANDSTAND VARIANCES DOCKET
NUMBER PZ-2024 20 00165. >> GOOD EVENING I AM DENNIS WITH -- PROJECT EXECUTIVE FOR CARMEL CLAY SCHOOLS. WITH US TONIGHT IS MIKE SHIP OUR PROJECT MANAGER FOR THE PROJECT. HE WILL BE DOING THE PRESENTATION TONIGHT. WE HAVE REPRESENTATIVES FROM SKILLMAN CORPORATION AS WELL AS [INAUDIBLE] WITH THE CARMEL CLAY SCHOOLS.
>> THANKS DENNIS. WE ARE SEEKING THREE VARIANCES TONIGHT. ONE HAS TO DO WITH A MAXIMUM HEIGHT OF THE PRESS BOX. THE SECOND IS REGARDS TO SIGNAGE OF THE EXISTING PRESS BOX OR NEW PRESS BOX. WHAT IS CONSIDERED AN ANCILLARY STRUCTURE. THE THIRD VARIANCE REQUEST IS INCREASED LOT COVERAGE. WE WILL TOUCH ON ALL THREE OF THOSE. SO THE ITEMS IN THE RED ON THE SCREEN ARE ONE TO THE NORTHEAST IN THE UPPER LEFT-HAND CORNER IS THE VARIANCE FOR THE LOT INCREASE.
THE OTHER TWO VARIANCES ARE DEALING WITH THE HOMICIDE BLEACHERS ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE STADIUM WHICH IS THE HEIGHT OF THE PRESS BOX AND SIGNAGE ON THE PRESS BOX. THE FIRST VARIANCE WE ARE SEEKING IS THE HEIGHT OF THE PRESS BOX. THE NEW PRESS BOX WOULD BE 71 FEET AND 10 INCHES TALL. KEEP IN MIND THE EXISTING PRESS BOX IS 56 FEET AND EIGHT INCHES TALL WHICH IS OBVIOUSLY ABOVE THE EXISTING ALLOWABLE 35 FEET. THE DIFFERENCE IS 15 FEET AND TWO INCHES. A COUPLE IMPORTANT FACTORS I WANT TO POINT OUT TO THE GROUP. PART OF THAT HEIGHT OF THE 71 FEET FOUR FEET IS ACTUALLY CONSIDERED THE POLL OF
[00:35:03]
THE FIELD WHICH IS ACTUALLY THE PRESS FURTHER DOWN THE EXISTING PARKING LOT. WE ALSO HAVE ANOTHER FOUR FEET ON TOP OF THE PRESS BOX WHICH KIND OF CONCEALS THE ROOFTOP EQUIPMENT AND PROVIDE SAFETY FOR WHEN THE CCS MAINTENANCE TEAM IS UP THERE DOING ANY MAINTENANCE WORK. THAT IS ALL PART OF THAT 71 FEET HEIGHT. ANOTHER FACTOR IN THE HEIGHT IS TRYING TO ACCOMMODATE THE EXISTING NEW BUILDING CODES. WE ARE PROVIDING A NEW ELEVATOR TO THE PRESS BOX. NOT ONLY DO WE HAVE TO MOVE IT TO THE WEST TO AVOID THE EXISTING STRUCTURES OF THE EXISTING GRANDSTAND AND THE LOWER-LEVEL LOCKER ROOMS. WE HAD TO INCREASE A LITTLE BIT HIGHER WEST AND HIRED TO ACTUALLY MAINTAIN AND ACTUALLY IMPROVE THE EXISTING SITE LINES. THIS HAPPENS TO BE A RENDERING ALONG THE LOWER LEVEL OF THE PRESS BOX. YOU CAN SEE THE TRACK IN THE FOOTBALL FIELD. MUCH IMPROVED OVER THE EXISTING CONDITIONS. NOW WE ARE ON THE UPSTAIRS OF THE UPPER LEVEL OF THE PRESS BOX. YOU CAN SEE ALL THE [INAUDIBLE] THOSE ARE SOME OF THE CRITERIA WE WERE DOING TO MAKE THIS A MORE USABLE FACILITY FOR CARMEL HIGH SCHOOLS. THE OTHER VARIANCE WE ARE SEEKING IS THE LETTERING TO THE OUTSIDE OF THE PRESS BOX. NOW THAT YOU CAN SEE THE EXISTING CONDITIONS RIGHT THERE. WE ARE LOOKING TO PUT IDENTIFIED THAT WITH CARMEL GREYHOUNDS. BASED ON MY EXPERIENCE AND OTHER LOCATIONS WE HAVE DONE WORK THIS IS A VERY MODEST SIGN. IT IS TWO FEET HIGH. IT IS NOT ILLUMINATED. AND THE FONT IS HERETICAL IN THE FACE IS KEYSTONE. THOSE ARE THE RENDERING. THAT IS HOW THE SIZE OF THE LETTERS ON THE PRESS BOX. WHAT WE CAN CALL THE EAST ELEVATION THAT FACES THE FOOTBALL STADIUM. JUST ANOTHER NOW I'M DOWN ON MIDFIELD. YOU CAN SEE THE PRESS BOX RENDERING AND THE THEY ARE NOT OVERSTATING IS A MODEST SIGNAGE. ONCE AGAIN ANOTHER RENDERING. YOU GET THE PERCEPTION OF THE NEW SIGNAGE. THE FINAL REQUEST WE ARE MAKING IS FOR AN INCREASED LOT COVERAGE AREA. WE ARE CURRENTLY AT 62%. THAT WAS APPROVED PREVIOUSLY. WE ARE ASKING FOR AN INCREASE UP TO 62.9%. ESSENTIALLY WHAT THIS DOES IS WITH THE STADIUM IMPROVEMENTS AND ENHANCEMENTS AT THE MIDDLE SCREEN WE ARE ACTUALLY PUSHING THE DRIVE A LITTLE BIT TO THE WEST. AND WE HAVE IMPACTED 25 PARKING SPACES AND WE ARE RELOCATING THOSE PARKING SPACES TO THE NORTHEAST. YOU CAN SEE THAT IN THE UPPER LEFT-HAND SIDE OF THE SCREEN. WITH A NEW LANDSCAPE BUFFER. THERE ARE SOME OTHER ENHANCEMENTS THAT THIS DOES INVARIABLY IF FLOW SLOWS DOWN THE SPEED ALONG THE WEST DRIVER ADJACENT TO THE STADIUM WITH THE BEND IN THE ROAD. WE INCREASED AND PROVIDED BETTER ACCESSIBILITY FROM THE HANDICAP SPOTS WITH THE SLOWDOWN AND NEW CROSSWALKS.WE'VE ALSO CREATED AN AREA JUST TO THE SOUTH OF THE STADIUM FOR FIRST RESPONDERS AND A PRESS MAN. TYPICALLY HAVE ONE PRESS THE VAN AT A FOOTBALL STADIUM. THOSE ARE NOW REMOVED FROM THE PARKING LOT AND JUST MAKES A BETTER AND MORE SAFETY FACTOR. SO THOSE ARE THE THREE VARIANCES. A QUICK EXPLANATION
OF THOSE. >> THANK YOU. I MISS SOMETHING ARE YOU ADDING ONE MORE FLOOR TO THE PRESS BOX OR IS IT TWO
FLOORS THAT ARE NEW? >> THE EXISTING IS TO FLOORS.
WE ARE REPLICATING TO FLOORS. >> YOU ARE DEMOLISHING THE OLD?
>> YES >> THANK YOU. THIS IS THE PUBLIC HEARING PART NOW. IS THERE ANYONE IN SUPPORT OF THIS PETITION THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK? SEEING -- YOU ARE JUST STRETCHING. OKAY. ANYONE AN OPPOSITION? ONE IN OPPOSITION.
WOULD YOU LIKE TO COME FORWARD PLEASE?
>> MY NAME IS LES I LIVE AT 1976 FREDERICK WADE NORTH IN THE ART AND TOWNHOMES. MY PROPERTY IS IN THE BACK ON THE TRAIL. I UNDERSTAND THIS DESCRIPTION YOU WANT TO PUT INCREASED THE PARKING ALONG THE NEW WHERE THE TWO EXTRA FIELDS
ARE. >> WHY DON'T YOU TAKE ONE OF THE FIELDS OUT? BOTH FIELDS ARE HARDLY EVER USED. AND USE THE PARKING FOR THAT. YOU JUST RESURFACE BOTH OF THEM WHY I
[00:40:07]
DON'T KNOW. ONE OF THEM IS HARDLY NEVER USED ONE OF THEM USED OCCASIONALLY. IT IS A SEASONAL FIELD BECAUSE YOU CAN ONLY PLAY OUTDOOR SPORTS FOR TO FIVE MAYBE SIX MONTHS OUT OF THE YEAR. GOING ALONG THAT I'M GOING TO BE LOOKING AT A PARKING LOT ESSENTIALLY. WHERE THERE IS GRASS RIGHT NOW AND OCCASIONALLY YOU CAN SEE PART OF THE FIELD. EXTENDING THAT LOT BACK PARALLEL TO THE NEW BUILDING WHY NOT MAKE THE PARKING NEXT TO THE NEW BUILDING? WHY DIDN'T YOU MAKE ROOM GETTING OTHER EASEMENT WHEN YOU ESTABLISHED FOR THE NEW COMMUNITY CENTER THAT CORNER THERE? THERE ARE OTHER PLACES YOU CAN GET. BUT GOING UP THAT WAY NORTH IT IS GOING TO AFFECT MY PROPERTY VALUE ESSENTIALLY. WHEN WE MOVED THAT WAS NOT THERE. THE BUILDING WAS NOT THERE. I LIKE THE BUILDING.THE BUILDING MAKES SENSE. PUTTING PARKING ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE PRACTICE FIELDS MAKES NO SENSE AT ALL. I
OPPOSE. >> HOW CLOSE IS YOUR HOME TO
THE STADIUM? >> I WOULD SAY FROM THESE FIELDS WHERE THEY WANT TO TAKE LANCE TO MAKE A PARKING PLACE
I'M 200 FEET MAYBE. >> THANK YOU. WOULD YOU PLEASE ADDRESS YOUR NEIGHBORS CONCERNS?
>> ONE OF THE REQUIREMENTS IN ORDER TO MEET THE CURRENT SINCE WE DISPLACED 25 WE ARE REQUIRED TO REPLACE THOSE 25 PREVIOUS AGREEMENT WITH THE CITY OF CARMEL. IN THE PAST PROJECTS IT HAD BEEN LOOKED AT TOWARDS THE SOUTH. AND OTHER LOCATIONS. BUT WITH REGARDS TO THE BEST LOCATION FOR BOTH CARMEL HIGH SCHOOLS IN THE DESIGN THIS WAS THE LOCATION THAT WAS SETTLED ONTO ACTUALLY WORKING WITH TAC AND OTHER COMMITTEES. WE WERE
JUST REPLACING 25 FOR 25. >> THANK YOU.
>> JUST ONE THING. COME FOR THE ENDLESS CONSTRUCTION THAT GOES ON. IT TOOK THREE YEARS TO BUILD THE POOL. THE FRONT SECTION I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY PARKING SPOTS ARE THERE THAT ARE UNUSABLE BECAUSE IT IS STORAGE FOR EQUIPMENT OR CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS. THE BAND CONSUMES THAT FAR NORTHWEST CORNER. THEY HAVE TRAILERS THERE. THEY PRACTICE THERE. THEY TAKE UP HALF THE PARKING LOT MOST OF THE TIME. NOT FOR GAMES BUT FOR PRACTICE. TO MOVE -- YOU CAN SEE FROM THE CORNER IT COMES REAL CLOSE TO THE CORNER OF THE END BUILDING WHERE OUR DEVELOPMENT IS. I'M DISAPPOINTED. I SENT LETTERS TO OUR ASSOCIATION AND NOBODY CAME
HERE. >> OTHER THAN BEING TOO CLOSE TO YOUR HOME WHAT IS THE PROBLEM?
>> WHAT YOU WANT A PARKING LOT RIGHT NEXT TO YOUR HOUSE? WHEN YOU BOUGHT BRAND-NEW AND IT WASN'T THERE? IF YOU KNEW IT WAS GOING TO BE THERE WOULD YOU BUY IT?
>> THANK YOU. >> DEPARTMENTS REPORT PLEASE.
>> THANK YOU. THE PETITIONER GAVE A THOROUGH PRESENTATION.
THEY ARE ALSO WORKING WITH THE CARMEL ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT TO PROVIDE STORMWATER RETENTION AND OTHER QUALITY MEASURES. AND I THINK THE PARKING SPACES THE GENTLEMAN IS CONCERNED ABOUT I THINK THOSE WILL NOT BE LIT WITH ANY LIGHTING. THE PETITIONER CAN CONFIRM THAT. BUT OTHER THAN THAT PLANNING STAFF DOES RECOMMEND POSITIVE CONSIDERATION OF THE VARIANCES.
AGAIN ALL PLANNING AND ZONING REVIEW COMMENTS HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED. PLANNING DEPARTMENT SUPPORTS THE VARIANCE REQUEST.
PETITIONER'S FINDINGS OF FACTS INCLUDED IN THE BZA PACKET. THE DEPARTMENT RECOMMENDS POSITIVE CONSIDERATION AND SO DO I.

>> MY NAME IS TOM LUCERO. THIS IS PETER MAY HANDPICK WE ARE HERE ON BEHALF OF THERESE AND MIKE MC LOWELL FOR THE RESIDENCE ON EMERSON ROAD. WE'VE GOT TWO DIFFERENT VARIANCE REQUESTS TODAY. ONE OF THEM IS THE LOT COVERAGE AND THE SECOND ONE IS THE FRONT YARD SETBACK FROM UGO STANDARDS. WITH REGARD TO THE LOT COVERAGE, THE CURRENT LOT COVERAGE IS 42% ON THE PROPERTY. WE ARE PROPOSING TO REDUCE THAT TO 41%. HOWEVER THE UGO STANDARDS IS 35. WE WOULD NEED TO SEEK OUT A VARIANCE FOR GOING FROM WHAT THE STANDARDS ARE TO THE 41% LOT COVERAGE. SO WE WILL BE REDUCING THE CURRENT LOT COVERAGE FROM WHAT IS THERE TODAY. OUR NEW HOME WE ALSO HAVE ANOTHER VARIANCE REQUEST WHICH IS THE 35 FOOT SETBACK WHICH IS THE STANDARDS TODAY. THE JOHNSON PLAT ADDITION IN THE ORIGINAL PLAT HAVE A 25 FOOT SETBACK. SO WE WOULD LIKE TO CONFORM TO THE ORIGINAL SETBACK OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
FOR THE FRONT ELEVATION OF THE HOUSE. SO IT IS NOT SETBACK FROM THE REST OF THE ROAD ITSELF. SO THAT IS OUR SECOND REQUEST TODAY. ON THE CURRENT PROPERTY THE FRONT OF THE ELEVATION IS ONLY 19 FEET FROM THE FRONT PROPERTY LINE. SO WE WILL ACTUALLY BE CONFORMING MORE TO WHAT THE STANDARDS ARE OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD BY REMOVING THAT GARAGE AND PUTTING THE FRONT ELEVATION AT 25 FEET. THOSE ARE OUR TO REQUEST TODAY.

WITH SIX LOCATIONS. THIS LOCATION INCLUDED. SECOND OF WHICH IN INDIANA EVANSVILLE BEING THE FIRST IN INDIANAPOLIS BEING THE NEXT. WE WENT THROUGH APPROVAL ON OCTOBER 1ST.
INCLUSIVE OF ADDITIONAL PARKING AND LANDSCAPING THAT WE ARE PROVIDING ON-SITE. THE REASON FOR OUR REQUEST TODAY IS FOR SIGNAGE PURPOSES ON THE WEST AND EAST FACES OF THE BUILDING.
WE ARE GOING TO OCCUPY HALF OF WHAT IS ABOUT 100,000 SQUARE-FOOT BUILDING. OUR HALF BEING THE NORTHERN HALF OF THIS BUILDING. DOES NOT HAVE VISIBLE SIGNAGE. IN ACCORDANCE WITH MANY OF THE NEIGHBORING BUILDINGS ALONG MAYFLOWER THAT DO HAVE SIGNAGE THAT IS THE REASON FOR OUR REQUEST. PARKING IS GOING TO BE EQUALLY DISTRIBUTED BETWEEN THE EAST AND WEST SIDES OF THE BUILDING. THAT IS THE NEED FOR SIGNAGE ON BOTH. THE EAST SIDE OF THE BUILDING IS REALLY A VERY LIMITED SIGNAGE ON A CANOPY. ENTRANCE ONLY. WEST SIDE BEING BUILDING FACE SIGNAGE. I HAVE PLENTY OF VISUALS IF WE NEED TO IF THERE ARE ANY QUESTIONS. BUT OTHERWISE OUR REQUEST IS FOR THE VARIANCE ON THE SIGNAGE OF THE WEST SPACE.
