CARMEL/CLAY PLAN COMMISSION
DEPARTMENT REPORT
November 20, 2001
3i. Docket No. 188-00 Z; DePauw Rezone
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
Street and North Meridian Street. The site is zoned S-2/residence within the US
31/Meridian Street Overlay Zone.
Filed by E. Davis Coots of Coots Henke &Wheeler for DePauw University&Earlham
College.
This item was tabled in the Special Studies Committee since June. At the November 11 meeting
the Committee forwarded the item back to the full Plan Commission with a favorable
recommendation. This was done contrary to the Department's recommendation of continuing the
item until the conditions of the CMC rezone were resolved. DePauw is the owner of the entire
tract (both CMC, 9.42 ac. and residual 10+/- ac.). The City Council approved the CMC rezone
subject to the dedication of right-of way and reservation on the residual (the real estate which is
the subject of this request, Docket No. 188-00 Z).
The Department is currently discussing these issues with Mr. Coots and Mr. Molitor to validate
the zoning of the CMC site and be in a position to place CMC on the December agenda for their
DP/ADLS review.
The Department recommends that the Plan Commission continue this request if the issues
related to the CMC rezone are not resolved prior to the meeting. If the issues have been
resolved prior to the meeting the Department will recommend that the item be forwarded to
the City Council with a favorable recommendation.
