WWW.CARMEL.IN.GOV ONE CIVIC SQ. CARMEL, IN 46032 (317) 571-2417
9:15 a.m. Docket No. 15010002 Z: North Augusta, Lot 19, Rezone.
The applicant seeks approval to rezone 0.81 acres from S-1/Residence to B-5 ( or B-7)/ Business. The site is
located at 3808 W. 96 th Street, west of Commerce Dr. It is located within the US 421/ Michigan Rd. Overlay
Zone. Filed by Mr. Gopal Rao, land owner.
Property owner Gopal Rao presented the project. Mr. Rao said he is requesting the rezone because a tenant
who recently moved in would like to run a business on the property. Mr. Rao said this property was purchased
early last year, and he intended to put in an office, but it wasn’t the right time. He added that the long term
plan would be to turn this land into B-5 zoning anyway, so he would like to get that out of the way right now.
Greg Hoyes – Hamilton County Surveyor’s Office
- Mr. Hoyes said based on no changes to the property, there are no comments on the rezone.
Trent Godsey – Duke Energy
- No comments on this project unless the energy service would happen to change.
Chris Ellison – City of Carmel Fire Department
- Mr. Ellison asked what type of business will be moving into the space. Mr. Rao said this will be an office
for a dental company that makes dentures. Mr. Rao said there will be no changes to the inside of the
structure. Mr. Ellison said when a building changes from residential to commercial, there are potential code
changes with which the petitioner will need to comply.
Ryan Hartman – Clay Township Regional Waste District
- Mr. Hartman said he would like the property owner to be aware that the house is currently on a septic
system. Mr. Rao asked if he can proceed as is, and then when he would eventually build a larger structure,
he could switch to sewer service. Mr. Hartman said this would probably be acceptable but it would depend
on the loading on the system and how many people will be working out of this structure.
David Littlejohn – City of Carmel Alternative Transportation
- Letter sent which outlined bike parking requirements. No further comments.
Nick Mishler – City of Carmel Building & Code Services
- No comments.
Angie Conn – City of Carmel Planning & Zoning
- Official comment review letter will be sent soon.
