NOTICE OF OGDEN DUNES BZA PUBLIC HEARING
The Town of Ogden Dunes Board of Zoning Appeals will conduct a public hearing at 7:00 pm at the
Ogden Dunes Town Hall located at 115 Hillcrest Road, Ogden Dunes, Indiana on September 14, 2023. The
hearing is for the applica�on of Steven Pinelli and Cameron Christoph for a developmental standards
variance from the side yard set back requirements, lot coverage and building height requirements from
the Town of Ogden Dunes building code (Sec�ons 152.032.I, 152.032.G, 152.032.C), respec�ve Lot 71,
Block “C”, First Subdivision Ogden Dunes, as marked and laid down on the recorded plat, recorded in
miscellaneous record “T”, page 2 in the office of the Recorder of Porter County, Indiana.
Northwest corner of the house 12’-7” from the Northern side yard and the can�levered area 9’-0” from
the Northern side yard. C102-1 shows the Southeast corner of the house 8’-7” from the Southern side
yard. The Side Yard set-back (per sec�on 152.032.I) is 15’-0”. Thus, the house protrudes 6’-0” into the
North side yard and 6’-5” into the South side yard. The variance request is to allow the house to be
constructed as designed and is similar to the side yard set-backs on the exis�ng homes to the North and
South.
The proposed house covers 2,758 sq � (23.89%) of the lot. An addi�onal 427 sq � (3.69%) of the lot is
covered by can�levered areas of the house, bringing the total to 27.58% lot coverage. The lot coverage
maximum (per sec�on 152.032.G) is 25%. Thus, the house exceeds the lot coverage maximum by 2.58%.
The variance request is to allow the house, including can�levered areas, to be constructed as designed
and, accordingly, will be less imposing on the site at ground level.
The height of the building from the lower of the finished grade of the land at the edge of the
structure to the top along any point of the structure is 47’-9”. Per Sec�on 152.032.C, the maximum
building height is 30’, or three stories, whichever is less. The building height from the lowest point of
grade to the tallest point exceeds the maximum by 17’-9”. The variance request is to allow the house to
be constructed as designed, with though�ul terracing from top to botom while using the natural slope
of the site, as has been done throughout town on the many sloping lots.
