>> OKAY. >> NO, NOTHING FROM THE LEGAL
PART OF IT. >> OKAY, THANK YOU. WELL, THEN, WE WILL PROCEED WITH OUR PUBLIC HEARINGS. THE FIRST ONE UP IS THE WILY GARAGE SIZE VARIANCE, DOCKET NUMBER PZ -- WILL PETITIONER PLEASE STEP UP AND -- YEAH. YOU'VE GOT PLENTY OF TIME
TO PRESENT WHATEVER YOU'D LIKE. >> OKAY, PERFECT. GOOD EVENING, WE'RE GEORGE AND JENNY WILY, AND WE'RE REQUESTING A VARIANCE TO BUILD A DETACHED GARAGE ON OUR PROPERTY. BASED ON OUR CURRENT 75% AS WE MEASURED THE SPACE, OUR GARAGE WILL BE SMALLER THAN OUR EXISTING TWO-CAR GARAGE. WHICH CURRENTLY ACCOMMODATES ONE OF OUR FAMILY VEHICLES. WITH TWO NEW STUDENT DRIVERS, WE'RE REQUESTING 110% TO ALLOW A FEW ADDITIONAL FEET IN EACH DIRECTION. WE'RE MOVING OUR ADDITIONAL SHED IN THIS DIRECTION, WOULD BRING THE COVERAGE CLOSER TO 100%. GIVEN OUR LOT SIZE, DENSE, MATURE TREES, AND WITH THE GARAGE SITTING 130 FEET FROM THE ROAD, OUR GOAL IS FOR THE DESIGN TO MATCH OUR HOME'S AESTHETIC AND BLEND INTO THE ENVIRONMENT.
WE'VE RECEIVED WRITTEN REPORTS FROM OUR NEIGHBORS ON THE NORTH AND SOUTH OF OUR PROPERTY AS WELL AS THREE HOMES DIRECTLY ACROSS THE STREET. SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND CONSIDERATION.
>> THANK YOU. IS THERE ANYONE HERE WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK IN SUPPORT OF THIS PETITION? ANYONE HERE TO SPEAK AGAINST? ALL RIGHT, WE'LL GO STRAIGHT TO THE DEPARTMENT REPORT. THANK YOU. AS THE PETITIONER STATED, THIS IS A DETACHED GARAGE. IT WILL ALSO HAVE A PORCH ATTACHED TO IT. THERE'S NOT AN HOA, SO THERE'S NO APPROVAL NEEDED FROM THEM. THE VARIANCE REQUEST IS FOR EXCEEDING THAT REQUIREMENT FOR MAXIMUM 75% OF THE GROUND FLOOR AREA OF A PRINCIPLE BUILDING TO BE ALLOWED FOR ACCESSORY STRUCTURES OR USES AND 110% REQUESTED. AND THAT TOTAL PERCENT ACTUALLY ADDS IN THAT ATTACHED GARAGE SPACE AS WELL.
SO IT'S THE ATTACHED GARAGE PLUS THE PROPOSED DETACHED GARAGE IS WHAT'S KICKING IT OVER THAT 75%. PLANNING STAFF IS SUPPORTIVE OF THE VARIANCE REQUEST. IT MEETS ALL OTHER -- OR IT MEETS ALL OTHER STANDARDS, SUCH AS SETBACKS, HEIGHT, LOT COVERAGE, ALL OF THOSE THINGS. SO PLANNING STAFF DOES RECOMMEND POSITIVE CONSIDERATION OF THE VARIANCE AS WELL AS THE ADOPTION
OF THE FINDINGS OF -- THANK YOU. >> ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU. IS THE SHED ALREADY GONE FROM THE PROPERTY? DO YOU MIND STEPPING UP HERE? A COUPLE QUESTIONS, THANK YOU.
>> YEAH, THE SHED IS GONE FROM THE PROPERTY.
>> OKAY. >> IT WAS AN OLDER SHED THAT HAD SOME DAMAGE FROM STORMS, SO IT WAS REMOVED IN PREPARATION FOR
>> YEP. >> AND DOES THE PORCH -- IS THE PORCH INCLUDED IN THE CALCULATION OR NOT?
>> YEP, AND THAT OPENS UP TO OUR BACK YARD.
>> OKAY. ALL RIGHT. WELL, I WILL APPROVE THIS PETITION WITH ADOPTION OF THE FINDINGS OF FACTS. SUBMITTED BY THE
[C. (SE) Bonilla Short Term Residential Rental Renewal. ]
PETITIONER. THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU.
>> OKAY, NEXT ITEM ON OUR AGENDA, BANILLA -- SORRY, I THINK I DID THAT LAST YEAR TOO, SHORT-TERM RESIDENTIAL RENTAL RENEWAL, APPLICANT SEEKS A SPECIAL EXCEPTION RENEWAL APPROVAL FOR STRR IN A PORTION OF THE DWELLING. GO AHEAD. MAKE
SURE YOU STATE YOUR NAME TOO. >> YES. STEPHANIE MARIS, ATTORNEY FOR PETITIONER, DBM GROUP LLC, SEEKING A RENEWAL OF THE SHORT-TERM RESIDENTIAL RENTAL FOR THE SECOND FLOOR OF THE RESIDENCE LOCATED AT 2918 EAST SMOKY ROAD, CARMEL, INDIANA, 46033. THERE HAVE BEEN NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGES SINCE THE LAST APPROVAL OF THE SHORT-TERM RENTAL, AND THE SHORT-TERM RENTAL ITSELF HAS BEEN OPERATING AS INTENDED WITH MOST OF THE RENTERS BEING TRAVEL NURSES THAT STAY ON AVERAGE FOR A TWO-WEEK PERIOD OF TIME WHILE THEY SERVE THE SURROUNDING HOSPITALS AND MEDICAL OFFICES THAT NEED ADDITIONAL SUPPORT FROM NURSES.
THE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AND REASONING SUPPORTING THIS
[00:05:02]
RENEWAL WAS INCLUDED IN THE INFORMATION PACKET AS SUBMITTED TO THE BZA. I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS YOU MAYHAVE. >> ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU. IS THERE ANYONE HERE TO SPEAK IN FAVOR OF THIS PETITION? ANYONE HERE TO SPEAK AGAINST? ALL RIGHT, THE DEPARTMENT REPORT.
>> THANK YOU. THIS IS ANOTHER RENEWAL REQUEST, VERY SIMILAR TO THE ONE THAT WAS BEFORE YOU A YEAR AGO. OUR UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT ORDINANCE DOES STATE THAT AN APPLICATION FOR THE RENEWAL OF A SPECIAL EXCEPTION SHALL GENERALLY BE ENTITLED TO FAVORABLE CONSIDERATION, SO THAT IS WHAT PLANNING STAFF IS RECOMMENDING THIS EVENING. WE DID ALSO FOLLOW UP WITH THE CODE ENFORCEMENT DEPARTMENT, AND THEY HAVE HAD NO CODE ENFORCEMENT ISSUES FOR THIS SITE FROM THE PAST YEAR. WE ALSO FOLLOWED UP WITH THE POLICE DEPARTMENT JUST TO SEE WHAT TYPE OF REPORTS WERE MADE FROM OR AGAINST THIS PROPERTY, AND THERE WAS A REPORT IN JULY OF LAST YEAR. SOMEONE REPORTED A STRAY DOG IN THE AREA. AND THEN APRIL OF THIS YEAR, THERE WAS A 911 CALL TO -- FOR MEDICS TO ASSIST A 76-YEAR-OLD FEMALE WHO PASSED OUT. SO WE'RE ASSUMING MAYBE IT WAS A RENTER THAT STAYED THERE.
BUT OTHER THAN THAT, NO OTHER ISSUES. SO WE DO RECOMMEND POSITIVE CONSIDERATION OF THE REQUEST AS WELL AS THE ADOPTION OF THE FINDINGS OF FACT. THANK YOU.
>> ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU. GIVEN THAT THERE HAVE BEEN NO VIOLATIONS AND THIS PROPERTY IS NOT IN A -- DOES NOT HAVE A HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION TO EVEN CONSIDER, I WILL GO AHEAD AND APPROVE THIS FOR ANOTHER YEAR. THANK YOU. IN ADOPTION OF
[C. (V) Bolander Patio Setback Variance.]
PETITIONERS, FINDINGS OF FACT. THANKS. OKAY. FINAL ITEM ON THE HEARING OFFICER AGENDA, BOLLANDER PATIO SETBACK BALANCE.>> HELLO THERE, I AM BRANDT HILE, DESIGNER AND CONTRACTOR FOR PAIGE AND BRENDAN, OWNERS OF THE PROPERTY AT 14049 HONEY TREE DRIVE, CARMEL, INDIANA. WE ARE REQUESTING A VARIANCE FOR AN ATTACHED ROOF EXTENSION OFF OF THE HOME. THE CURRENT LOT HAS A 20-YARD SETBACK, SO WE'RE REQUESTING 13 DUE TO THE IRREGULAR NATURE OF THE LOT. THE SETBACK LINE, ALONG WITH THE DRAINAGE EASEMENT, MAKES THAT LOT NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO DEVELOP ANY SORT OF LOT IMPROVEMENT GIVEN THOSE SETBACKS, WHICH ARE -- TOUCH THE CORNER OF THE HOUSE. SO WE HAVE APPLIED FOR A NONENFORCEMENT WITH HAMILTON COUNTY AND WITH THE CITY ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT AS WELL. ALL HAVE BEEN IN FAVOR OF THAT.
SO THAT'S IN SUMMARY. >> ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU. IS THERE ANYONE HERE TO SPEAK IN FAVOR OF THIS PETITION? ALL RIGHT, ANYONE TO SPEAK AGAINST? ALL RIGHT, WE'LL GO TO THE
DEPARTMENT REPORT, ANGIE. >> OKAY, THANK YOU. THE PETITIONER'S REQUESTING VARIANCE APPROVAL FOR A COVERED PATIO BUILDING ADDITION TO ENCROACH INTO THE REAR YARD SETBACK, WHICH ALSO HAPPENS TO HAVE A 15-FOOT WIDE DRAINAGE EASEMENT WITHIN IT AS WELL. AS THE PETITIONER STATED, THEY'VE ALREADY RECEIVED CONSENT TO ENCROACH APPROVALS. SO PLANNING STAFF IS SUPPORTIVE OF THIS VARIANCE REQUEST. THE VARIANCE REQUEST IS FOR SEVEN FEET, AND IT'S ALSO IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT IT'S JUST A SMALL TRIANGULAR PORTION OF THE COVERED PATIO. IT'S NOT THE FULL RECTANGLE OR POLYGON THAT WOULD ENCROACH INTO IT. SO WE DO RECOMMEND POSITIVE CONSIDERATION OF THE REQUEST AS WELL AS THE ADOPTION OF THE FINDINGS OF
FACT. THANK YOU. >> OKAY, THANK YOU. JUST A QUICK QUESTION, IS IT GOING ON THE SAME FOOTPRINT AS THE DECK?
>> IT'S THREE FEET LONGER OR WIDER OUT FROM THE HOUSE.
>> OKAY, ALL RIGHT. GIVEN THAT THE HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION HAS APPROVED AND YOU'VE SOUGHT AND GAINED ALL THE NECESSARY APPROVALS FROM THE CITY AND COUNTY, I WILL APPROVE THIS WITH THE ADOPTION OF FINDINGS OF FACT. THANK YOU.
>> THANK YOU. >> ANY OTHER BUSINESS FOR THE
