The site is located west of the Monon Greenway and north of I-465, at approximately 1022 E. 101st St. It is zoned Page 3 of 5 WWW.CARMEL.IN.GOV ONE CIVIC SQ. CARMEL, IN 46032 (317) 571-2417 Monon Lake PUD/Planned Unit Development (Z-590-14). Filed by Kevin Sumner of Weihe Engineers, on behalf of M/I Homes of Indiana, LP. Kevin Sumner with Weihe Engineers and Ann Kloc with M/I Homes presented the project. Mr. Sumner said the connections will be made through the existing subdivision to the west of this area, and there will be a fire department connection on Marwood Drive. Mr. Sumner said there are 42 lots, all single family homes, sitting on 34 acres. Greg Hoyes – Hamilton County Surveyor’s Office - This is annexed into Carmel so it will be Carmel storm sewers, but the Surveyor’s Office has been working with Carmel to take some drainage from them. Mr. Sumner said much of the drainage in this area is directed south into a culvert under I-465 and travels to Marion County. Joanie Clark – Vectren Energy - Ms. Clark asked the timeframe for starting work. Mr. Sumner said they will be submitting the wetlands delineation soon. Ms. Kloc said in terms of development, they would like to commence as early in 2015 as possible. Mr. Sumner said the developers would like to get everything approved, so when the wetlands delineation is finalized, the construction is ready to begin. Ryan Hartman – Clay Township Regional Waste - Comment letter sent on November 21. No further comments at this time. Mr. Sumner asked if a doghouse connection would be allowed. Mr. Hartman said this is not allowed, but the developer can add a manhole if needed. Mr. Sumner asked if a larger pipe size could be used. Mr. Hartman said IDEM will allow a pipe up to one size larger, but this would need to be approved through IDEM. Daren Mindham – City of Carmel Urban Forestry - Comments sent. Landscape plan is on file. Chris Ellison – City of Carmel Fire Department - Mr. Ellison would like to see the auto turn continue with the apparatus going directly from the entrance to the cul-de-sac. Mr. Ellison said the curve in the road is a concern, and he will need confirmation that the fire truck will be able to get through this area. Mr. Ellison said driving in to the subdivision during an emergency is typically a larger concern than driving out, with the exception of taking a patient to the hospital. Mr. Ellison also said the secondary fire department vehicle access will need to be at least 20-feet wide, and asphalt, and Mr. Ellison or someone at the fire department will need to approve the gate. There will also need to be a Knox Lock on the gate. Mr. Sumner asked if bollards are required or acceptable. Mr. Ellison said having to unlock a Knox Lock is much easier and faster than trying to get 4-5 bollards out of the ground. Gary Duncan – City of Carmel Department of Engineering - Comments sent. Mr. Duncan said the two main issues were flood protection grades and the entire eastern edge of the existing pond. Mr. Duncan said he will need to decide if there will actually need to be two feet of free board on the current edge, as this would remove quite a few trees. Mr. Duncan said adding these two feet may not be worth it, provided all the homes in the subdivision have the proper flood protection grades. Mr. Sumner said he appreciates the engineering department thinking outside the box on this issue, as this is not a normal subdivision. Regarding the curve, Mr. Duncan said this is a sub-standard, center line radius curve, and asked if the developers have received a variance for this. Mr. Sumner said he is not sure if this has received a variance, but added that the primary plat was approved with this curve in place. Ms. Kloc said the curve needed to be designed this way to avoid the wetlands in the area. Trent Godsey – Duke Energy - Mr. Godsey said Duke appears to have facilities to the east and south of Marwood Trail. Alex Jordan – City of Carmel Department of Engineering - SWPPP review has been sent. The department is awaiting a response. David Littlejohn – City of Carmel Alternative Transportation - Letter sent. Mr. Littlejohn said regarding the path from the cul-de-sac, the way it is shown on the plans is not Page 4 of 5 WWW.CARMEL.IN.GOV ONE CIVIC SQ. CARMEL, IN 46032 (317) 571-2417 the same as the plan approved by the Plan Commission. Mr. Sumner asked if this needed to be aggregate or if mulch could be used. Mr. Littlejohn said it should be ADA compliant and also be a natural surface. Nick Mishler – City of Carmel Building & Code Services - No comments. Angie Conn – City of Carmel Planning & Zoning - Letter sent. Department is waiting for a response. 9:30 a.m. Docket No. 14110006 DP/ADLS: Green House Cottages of Carmel. The applicant seeks site plan and design approval, for 6 skilled nursing cottage homes and 1 administration building. The site is located at 140 and 130 E. 126th Street, on 4.61 acres. It is zoned Green House Cottages of Carmel PUD/Planned Unit Development (Z-594-14). Filed by Andrew Greenwood of Green House Cottages of Carmel, LLC. Andrew Greenwood and Zachary Moffett with Green House Cottages and William Hall with Crossroad Engineering presented the project. Mr. Greenwood said this project will include six skilled nursing homes with 12 elders in each home, and also one administrative building. Greg Hoyes – Hamilton County Surveyor’s Office - Mr. Hoyes asked where the discharge point is located, because the Surveyor’s Office shows part of the discharge in the County’s jurisdiction and part in Carmel’s jurisdiction. Mr. Hoyes said depending on where this outlet goes, the County may not have any involvement. Joanie Clark – Vectren Energy - Asked the time frame for construction. Mr. Greenwood said the hope would be to move quickly through the approval process, break ground as early as possible in the spring, and be open for business by October. Ryan Hartman – Clay Township Regional Waste - This project is outside CTRWD service area. Daren Mindham – City of Carmel Urban Forestry - Comments sent. Department is awaiting a response. Chris Ellison – City of Carmel Fire Department - Asked if the developers have provided confirmation that fire apparatus can enter and exit the site quickly, as there will be a significant number of emergency runs to this nursing facility. Mr. Hall said this has been designed to handle the largest fire equipment. Mr. Ellison reminded the petitioners that prior to combustibles arriving on site, the fire hydrants need to be in service, and at least an asphalt binder needs to be installed for access. Gary Duncan – City of Carmel Department of Engineering - Comments have not yet been generated. Mr. Duncan said regarding the curves on the roundabout crosswalks, these will need to be straightened out. Trent Godsey – Duke Energy - No comments. Mr. Greenwood said the developer has historically had problems addressing issues early on in the process which has created obstacles at the end. Alex Jordan – City of Carmel Department of Engineering - Comments will be sent soon. David Littlejohn – City of Carmel Alternative Transportation - Comment letter sent. Mr. Littlejohn said on the landscape plans, the ADA parking is in one location, and on the other plans, this parking is shown further to the north. Mr. Littlejohn said he prefers the location shown on the landscape plan. Mr. Hall said the grading and access to the parking has forced this change. Page 5 of 5 WWW.CARMEL.IN.GOV ONE CIVIC SQ. CARMEL, IN 46032 (317) 571-2417 Nick Mishler – City of Carmel Building & Code Services - No comments. Angie Conn – City of Carmel Planning & Zoning - Comments will be sent next week. Ms. Conn said at first glance everything looks good, so most of the issues will involve architecture.
