Hearing officer approves Chapman three‑season room lot‑coverage variance conditioned on engineering review
Summary
The hearing officer granted a 6% lot‑coverage variance for a three‑season room at 525 West Main Street, conditioned on resolving remaining engineering review comments in ProjectDocs.
A Carmel hearing officer approved a lot‑coverage variance for a three‑season room at 525 West Main Street (Johnson Addition Subdivision Lot 3A) at the June 23, 2025 hearing officer meeting.
Property owner David Chapman said the parcel exceeded lot‑coverage thresholds due to a prior lot split before the couple bought the home; without a variance, the project cannot move forward. Planning staff recommended positive consideration while asking the petitioner to continue to address remaining engineering review comments in the city’s online plan review software (ProjectDocs).
The hearing officer approved the 6% increase in lot coverage, contingent on the petitioner working through the last comments in ProjectDocs and adopting the findings of fact. The petition was filed as docket PZ‑2025‑00113, citing UDO section 2.1 (maximum 35% lot coverage; 41% requested).
