Petitioner seeks favorable recommendation of a rezone from the S-2/residence district
to the B-5/business district on 10.02± acres. The site is located northwest of West 131st

31/Meridian Street Overlay Zone.
Filed by E. Davis Coots of Coots Henke &Wheeler for DePauw University& Earlham
College.
This item has been tabled since June and was continued from the October meeting. The
applicant has requested that the Special Studies Committee now forward this item to the Plan
Commission with a favorable recommendation on the rezone from S-2/Residence to B-
5/Business. The committee may recall that two rezone applications were forwarded to the City
Council and approved earlier this year. In fact, another item regarding a project on this same
agenda lies on one of the properties.
Please find attached a letter sent to Mr. Coots regarding the previous rezones. The Department is
awaiting a response from the applicants as to the status of the reservation of the right-of-way on
this property as well as the dedication of right-of-way along Meridian Corners Boulevard.
The Department recommends that the Special Studies Committee continue this item to the
December meeting and direct the applicant to address the conditions attendant to the
previous rezones prior to acting on this item.

RE: CMC(Z-363-01)and CH Land(Z-364-01)rezone petitions
Dear Mr. Coots:
This letter is in regard to the above referenced rezones and current applications filed for the subject parcels. The
Cannel City Council approved the rezones for these parcels subject to several conditions. They are as follows:
1. Dedication of right-of-way pursuant to the thoroughfare plan.
Along Meridian Corners Boulevard there exists a 90-foot wide right-of-way. The Ordinance requires a
120-foot wide right-of-way. The rezone was approved subject to the dedication of an additional 15 feet of
right-of-way along the full extent of the DePauw parent tract and the CH Land tract as identified in the
Thoroughfare Plan: In addition,additional right-of-way is to be dedicated on the site along 1315`Street
when the applicant submits a Development Plan Application for that site. A legal description as well as a
general survey of the area to be dedicated is required.
2. Commitment to file ADLS for CH Land Property
3. Construction of entrance onto Meridian Corners Boulevard
Commitment to construct the improvements as proposed subject to final approval by the City Engineer.
However, we do hot have a signed copy of the covenant. A recorded copy of this covenant should be
presented in commit-men/form by the applicant prior to action on the rezone by the City Council.
4. Execution of the document prepared by John Molitor(see 5th attachment)
This document concerns the reservation of the real estate described under the application filed under Docket
Number 188-00 Z(the area of land required to be reserved for Pending State Highway Improvements). The
fourth attachment to this letter is from the attorney representing DePauw and is the basis for the drafting of
the commitment. It is the understanding of the Department that this document is a work in progress. A
recorded copy of this document,once completed,should be presented by the applicant prior to action on the
rezone by the City Council.
The Department of Community Services has not received documentation from the applicant(s)that the following has
been completed:
1. The dedication of Right-of-way along Meridian Corners Boulevard(CH Land parcel and DePauw Parcel).
A legal description and general survey of this right-of-way is to be delivered to the Cannel City Engineer for review
prior to dedication. We will allow the dedication of the 1315`Street right-of-way to be dedicated as part of the plat
that has been submitted for the CMC Tract.
