CARMEL TECHNICAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE
MEETING MINUTES
Date: Wednesday, April 15, 2015
Place: Dept. of Community Services Conference Room, 3 rd Floor, Carmel City Hall.
Time: 9:00 a.m. ( Approximate start times for each item are listed below .)
9:00 a.m. Docket No. 15030011 Z: Kensington Green PUD Rezone & Primary Plat.
The applicant seeks approvals to rezone 2 acres of land to PUD/Planned Unit Development, from R-1/Residence
and U.S. Highway 31 Corridor Overlay Zone. The applicant also seeks primary plat approval in order to create a
9-lot single family detached homes subdivision. The site is located at 490 W. 136 th Street (northeast corner of
Rohrer Rd. & Smokey Row Rd.). Filed by Clifford Rubenstein of Maurer Rifkin & Hill, P.C., on behalf of Turtle
Pond Partners, LLC.
Jim Rinehart with Williams Creek Consulting, Clifford Rubenstein of Maurer Rifkin & Hill, and Bruce Zabst with
Turtle Pond presented the project. Mr. Zabst said this property currently has only one residential unit. The plan
would be to turn this into a pocket neighborhood, which would be focused on the common area. The porches
would face the common area, which will create a neighborhood feel. Mr. Zabst said there will be a road on the
north side, which will provide access to several of the properties. There will be a connection to the Monon Trail
through Kensington Place.

Docket No. 15030013 CA: Woodhall Lane Subdivision, Commitment Amendment.
The applicant seeks approvals to add 5 additional lots to the plat, for a total of 14 lots on 11.6 acres. The applicant
also seeks approvals to amend the 2007 commitments, regarding custom home builders. The site is located at
10520 Woodhall Lane (east of Towne Rd., along 106 th Street). It is zoned S-1/Residence. Filed by Sean Downey
of HWC Engineering, on behalf of Pulte Homes of Indiana, LLC.
Sean Downey with HWC Engineering, and Ashley Bedell and Matt Lohmeyer with Pulte Homes presented the
project. Ms. Bedell said this is an existing community, with the original plat of 9 lots having been approved in
2007. This project will expand this development to 14 lots. Ms. Bedell said the roads, ponds, and many of the
utilities are already in, so the developer is seeking to update a few items in order to increase the number of lots.

will need to be some easements over the common areas which were not shown on the plans.
