Hearing officer signals conditional approval for Ventura pool variance at 1176 Frenzel Parkway

Phil Ennis, with PJE Lawn Care and Landscaping, asked the Board of Zoning Appeals hearing officer to approve a development-standards variance to install a pool at 1176 Frenzel Parkway in the Jackson's Grant on Williams Creek subdivision (Docket PZ202500285, Silvera PUD). "We are here seeking a development standards variance to put a pool in at 1176 Frenzel Parkway," Ennis said, adding that he believed the petitioner "has all the support necessary."

Planning staff (Steph) told the hearing officer the variance requests concern setbacks and lot coverage and that the planning department is supportive "as long as the petitioner addresses the concerns of the Carmel Engineering department." Steph asked the board to approve the variances with the condition that the petitioner address the remaining review comments and project documents and adopt the findings of fact.

The hearing officer stated, "I do approve this with you addressing the remaining review documents and project docs and adopting finding the facts," indicating approval conditioned on resolving engineering review items. The transcript does not record a formal roll-call vote or a mover and seconder for the motion.

Next steps: the petitioner must address Carmel Engineering's outstanding review comments and submit any remaining project documents so staff can finalize administrative approvals.
