Leo Dierckman said the primary question is whether or not the ground should be rezoned for a
use that could go in another location. Mr. Dierckman was concerned with the number of full

concern should be . yen to whether or not this proposal is the,b"e'st use for this property. Ron
Houck cautioned the mmittee that will be reviewing the,:PUD to look closely at the details.
Steve Fehribach of A & F Ehg,ineering responded that/611e of the scenarios used in the traffic
analysis is a hospital facility; tfle..,~ighest and most i ense use was used in the study.
Pat Rice was concerned with the "rea red br" "and the green glass. The air conditioning
units and related noise are a concern as I s the helipad and accompanying noise. Ms. Rice

Estate; Gary Murray of Paul I. Cripe Engineering; and Craig Glazier of Contexts Land Planning
and Landscape Architecture were also in attendance.
The subject property is located along the east side of Michigan Road, Y2 mile north of 106th
Street. The property is north of and adjacent to vacant property zoned B-2 and residential
property zoned S-l, developed into a residential property known as "The Westons." The
property is south of and adjacent to property zoned B-3 currently known as Altum Gardens and a
residential estate zoned S-l; and west of and adjacent to property zoned S-l, also part of the
development known as "The Westons."
Weston Point is owned by the Ford-Pennington families and is the same site where a previous
rezone application occurred known as Town Centre West. Weston Point is irregular in shape.
The west property line consists of approximately 758 linear feet adjacent to US 421; the southern
property line consists of approximately 2,031 linear feet, the first 800 linear feet are included in
the property being requested for rezone to B-2. The remaining 1 ,231 linear feet is a part of the
property being requested for rezone to R-4.
The southern property line is adjacent to 467 linear feet of undeveloped property zoned B-2 and
the remaining 1,564 linear feet is adjacent to developed property known as The Westons, zoned
S-l. The residential portion of Weston Point is adjacent to an existing stub street called Monitor
Lane. The eastern property line consists of 665 linear feet, heavily wooded and adjacent to a few
houses in The Westons. The Westons Subdivision is along a portion of the southern border and
the entire eastern border and is a very nice, production neighborhood developed by the Estridge
Group in the mid 1990's. The homes on the southern border mostly represent the 400 series
homes; the eastern border represents 600 series homes. The Westons represents the last
neighborhood to be developed under the "Cluster" option.
The northern property line consists of2,494 linear feet, approximately 1,200 of which are
adjacent to Altum Gardens or properties zoned B-3. The remaining 240 linear feet is adjacent to
property zoned S-l and owned by the Fehsenfeld family.
The Michigan Road corridor is a very vibrant corridor, with significant road improvements in the
works. Seen in the distance are 1-465; 96th Street; the Boone County/Hamilton County lines; and
the Marion County line. Moving north on the east side of US 421, there is a large parcel of land
controlled by Duke Realty zoned B-3 and adjacent to a residential neighborhood known as
Spring Arbor, the Super Target adjacent to Ahsbrooke Subdivision, Carmel Center West, the
Weston Shopes, and Marsh. On the west side of 421 can be seen Mayflower Park, Pearson Ford,
and vacant property on the southwest comer of 106th and 421. Farther north on the west side of
421, the REVBrowning Properties and the new multi-family project, The Reserve at Williams
Run are visible.
The 421 Overlay generally requires architectural styles that are Italianette, Georgian, Federal, and
Greek Revival. The intention of the Overlay is to vary from the "hodge-podge" that was
developed along US 421 prior to the implementation of the Overlay District. The intent is to
help provide a special "sense of place" that will increase property values, protect real estate
investments, spur commercial activities, and attract new businesses.

On the east side of 421, the zoning classifications range from B-2, B-3, and B-5. The Duke
property is zoned B-3 and B-2, and has the depth of approximately 1,700 feet from Michigan
Road 421. At 106th Street, the zoning is B-3 and B-5; just north of 106th Street, the B-2 zoning
designation has a depth of 840 feet. The proposed depth of B-2 at Weston Point is approximately
800 feet adjacent to property on the north zoned B-3.
The site has access to water and sewer, and drainage is either adequately in place or planned as a
part of this development. Weston Pointe is divided into three areas. The front area contemplates
14.826 acres zoned B-2. Architectural styles and requirements would meet the requirements of
the Michigan Road Overlay Zone. As yet, there are no specific users in mind, however, a
building has been designed by Scott Perkins that would accommodate office or medical use that
would meet the requirements of the Overlay Zone. This particular building is Georgian in style
and would incorporate well with the residential townhomes and formal round-about proposed on
the residential property. The B-2 zone portion of the property could accommodate up to 150,000
square feet of commercial use.
The proposed plan contemplates an entry on the south end of the property. A divided entry
boulevard with streetlights and street trees is anticipated. Right-of-way will be provided for the
neighbor to the south to tie into the entry boulevard. The traffic engineer for the site is
recommending a traffic light at the entry and this would accommodate and benefit most of the
properties across the street and to the south. The entry is proposed at this time and could move to
the north side of the property. The applicant will continue to work with Carmel and INDOT to
determine the best location for the entryway.
Farther to the east, the property transitions from commercial to residential. A formal design or
neo-traditionallayout is being proposed that will provide significant open space utilizing natural
areas to the east, village greens, landscape courtyards, and perimeter greenbelt buffers. The
product proposed for construction could be a three-story townhome or a two-story townhome in
all areas except for the southern boundary and the eastern boundary. This product would be a
"For Sale" product with each unit owning the land beneath it. There would be a minimum of 150
feet of setback and tree preservation on the east end of the property. One option is to provide a
two-story product on the perimeter and three-story in the center, or two-story throughout. The
south property line will be buffered with a six-foot, shadowbox fence and significant
landscaping. The landscaping could be standard ball and burlap with variety or a larger tree
transplanted material. The south property has a connecting street or stub into the proposed
development. The neighbors' preference is that we do not connect into the property and the
applicant will be guided by Carmel or Hamilton County Highway preference. The north property
line is an area targeted for tree preservation and adjacent to open fields; the townhome area
would match-up with the neighborhood to the north that has significant wooded areas.
At this time, the applicant continues to have dialogue with Fred Fehsenfeld, property owner to
the north. The height of the buildings-2-stories to the north-may be limited due to sight lines.
Carmel has requested right-of-way be provided for future connection into the Fehsenfeld property
if it were ever developed, and the applicant is willing to do that. No streetlights will be provided
in the R-4 area in order to respond to neighbors concerns regarding lighting. All lighting will be

limited to the front porch and the garage door area. The applicant has agreed to use brick and
hardy plank in construction materials-no vinyl will be used on any of the buildings. In
addition, variations will be used on the front of the homes.
The community concept provides for a maintenance free lifestyle with all grounds, homesites,
and common areas to be maintained by the Homeowners Association. The residential portion of
this development will adhere to the requirements of the Residential Open Space Ordinance
utilizing the R-4 zoning classification. This plan preserves and protects the natural features of
the site, provides a better living environment through an alternate and efficient utilization of land,
and provides for ingenuity and originality in site design and product offering. In addition, the
proposed covenants and restrictions create a unique community to an under-served need in this
area. The applicant has worked closely with the adjacent neighborhood by inviting the neighbors
to meetings and also placing signs at the entryways as notice of the meetings.
Commitments have been drafted and are in recordable form should this project go forward. The
commitments are as follows: There will be no streetlights in the R-4 zoned portion of the
property, per the request of the homeowners in The Westons. The units will be "For Sale" and
will have their own deeded lot. The three-story product will not have any vinyl; the applicant
reserves the right to have brick and vinyl on the two-story product and the vinyl would match-up
with the quality and color of the existing vinyl on the rear of the homes in The Westons. The
southern property line will contain a building setback/greenbelt buffer of 30 feet. A 6-foot
shadow-box fence will be provided on the property line where The Westons and Weston Point
are adjacent. The shadow-box fence will not be built in the area where Monitor Lane stubs into
Weston Point. The 30-foot setback/greenbelt buffer will contain an acceptable landscape plan
that will include significant plantings of trees, both balled and burlap, and larger trees that would
be transplanted.
The east property line will have a minimum of ISO-foot setback from The Weston Park homes.
The site will consist of homes that are either all two stories or a combination of three-story
townhomes and two-story plans. The eastern portion of the site will remain wooded. In addition,
per the request of several homeowners in The Westons, there will be no walking paths or other
amenities placed in the wooded area.
The portion of the B-2 zoned property that is adjacent to The Westons will have a minimum
building setback of 100 feet. The Overlay Zone requires a setback two times the height of the
building. Monitor Lane will only connect into Weston Point if required by the City of Carmel
and the Hamilton County Highway Department. The developer is willing to provide pavers and
an emergency gate in lieu of a connecting street at the request of the homeowners of The
Westons. However, pedestrian access will be provided between the neighborhoods.
The R-4 property will conform to the requirements of the Residential Open Space Ordinance and
the B-2 property will conform with the 421 Michigan Road Overlay Zone and will not exceed
150,000 square feet of buildings.

..
Remonstrance: Favorable/Organized
Dan Patton, 10742 Putnam Place, Carmel, president of The Westons Homeowners Association,
stated the intent of the Association to work with the developer. The HOA has had several
meetings with Pittman Partners and has a copy of the commitments for a 2-story product along
the perimeter, also lighting commitments, fencing and buffering abutting the adjacent, residential
property.
Remonstrance: Favorable/Individual
James Lipe, 3824 VanGuard Circle, Carmel said Mr. Pittman and the current proposal address
most all of his concerns. The one additional issue is the connection to Monitor Lane.
Remonstrance: Neither For Nor Against
Fred Fehsenfeld, 4415 West 116th Street, property owner to the north, was unsure ifhe was in
favor. Mr. Fehsenfeld is concerned with the height of the buildings, lighting, and fencing/
screening. Mr. Fehsenfeld is aware of Steve Pittman's reputation as a developer, has met with
Steve Pittman and is confidant they can work through whatever issues are outstanding. Mr.
Fehsenfeld would like for the public hearing to remain open and would like to see the project
approved in a surrounding neighbor, user-friendly basis.
Greg Zubek, attorney with Whitham, Henbestreit & Zubek, 151 North Delaware Street,
Indianapolis, appeared before the Commission representing Mr. Fehsenfeld's family members.
Mr. Zubek said he had reviewed the file last week while Fred Fehsenfeld was out of town. Mr.
Zubek was in agreement with leaving the public hearing open and asked that this be done.
Department Comments, Jon Dobisiewicz. Most issues regarding setbacks have already been
outlined in the Department Report. There will be changes in the development as it is more clearly
defined and it is wise to leave the public hearing open for additional public input. There are
some issues still in flux. Traffic reports should be submitted to all Plan Commission members, a
representative of The Westons HOA, and copies for the file for public review. One of the issues
is the location of a traffic signal and how it would interface with existing US 421. Currently,
there is a street on the west side of 421 identified as Bennett Parkway and as an easement
adjacent to the Lutheran Church along the corridor. That particular drive does not align with this
site; it does align with Altum Gardens. At this point, Altum has said they are not interested in
providing access to the property to the south and this street may be aligned. The other alternative
is to provide the street within the proposed development as close to the north property line as
possible. The signal would then be at the comer of two intersecting streets as opposed to a signal
in front of a shopping center. Where the signal is placed should have the greatest amount of
utility. The Department would like to see a roadway connect 116th Street to US 421 at the signal
and that is not readily identified in the plan submitted by the petitioner. In essence, the Dept.
would like to see a hierarchy of roadway systems and connectivity between neighborhoods and
not diminish the potential for traffic to have as many opportunities to disperse as possible.
Note: The public hearing remains open on this item.
