BZA grants variance to allow garage to extend in front of facade at 11700 E. 130th Street
Summary
The board approved VA 25-15 to permit a front-loaded garage to extend 12 feet ahead of the front façade at 11700 East 130th Street with recording of the variance required.
The Fishers Board of Zoning Appeals approved VA 25-15 on Sept. 24, allowing a front-loaded garage to extend 12 feet in front of the front facade at 11700 East 130th Street. The approval was conditioned on recording the variance with the Hamilton County Recorder's Office.
Petitioner David Duke described site constraints that shaped the home placement, including drainage, the property's irregular shape, mature trees the parties wished to preserve and accessibility needs. He said moving the garage to the side would force tree removal, increase construction costs and reduce the property's green space.
Planner Grace Wiley said the property is zoned R-2 and part of the I-69 overlay and that staff had no recommendation for the board; staff recommended recording the approval and related documentation if the board granted the variance. No members of the public spoke on the petition. The board voted to approve the variance; members instructed staff to record the approval with the county recorder.
