CARMEL, IN 46032 (317) 571-2417 CARMEL TECHNICAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE MEETING MINUTES Date: Wednesday, November 20, 2013 Place: Dept. of Community Services Conference Room, 3rd Floor, Carmel City Hall. Time: 9:00 a.m. 9:00 a.m. Docket No. 13100020 Z: Ashmoor PUD Rezone with Primary Plat The applicant seeks approval to rezone 39.19 acres from S-1/Residence to PUD/Planned Unit Development for single family detached homes. The applicant also seeks primary plat approval for 59 lots with Common Area. The site is located at the southwest corner of 131st St. and Shelborne Rd., at approximately 13000 Shelborne Rd. Filed by Jim Shinaver of Nelson & Frankenberger LP, on behalf of Boomerang Development, LLC. Jon Dobosiewicz and Jim Shinaver with Nelson & Frankenberger, Eric Gleissner with Civil Site Group, Richard Henderson with Fischer Homes and Dave Sexton with Terra Site Development presented on behalf of the petitioner. Mr. Dobosiewicz said this project is a residential subdivision on approximately 40 acres on the southwest corner of Shelborne Road and Main Street. This is located caddy corner of the City’s street department fleet facility and south of the Claybourne subdivision. Mr. Dobosiewicz said public notice will be sent to adjacent homeowners within the next few days, as well as a notice in the newspaper. This project is similar to Hadley Grove subdivision, in that the petitioners filed for a PUD ordinance that is actually a rezone. Mr. Dobosiewicz said this rezone will go in front of the council and if approved, the petitioner would be back in front of TAC with the secondary plat and construction plans at a future date, most likely in February. Construction of this project would likely start around second or third quarter of 2014. Joanie Clark – Vectren Energy - No objections to the rezone. Nick Redden – City of Carmel Engineering Department - Letter sent. No further comments. David Lucas – Hamilton County Highway Department - This project is outside of HCHD jurisdiction. No comments. Shirley Hunter – Duke Energy - No objection to rezone. There are a few poles that may be in the way of acceleration and deceleration lanes. Mr. Dobosiewicz said the project is not in alignment with anything on the north side of the street. Mr. Gleissner said with the requirements of the acceleration and deceleration lanes, there is really no way to avoid this. Mr. Dobosiewicz asked if there is there a chance to have these lanes reduced if requested. Ms. Hunter said there was work done to this area when the roundabout was installed in this area, but did not know the details of the project. Mr. Gleissner said he is not sure even an adjustment in these lanes allow the poles in this area to remain. Chris Ellison – Carmel Fire Department - Mr. Ellison said he noticed on the plans a grass paver system to be installed. Mr. Gleissner said the developer will install whatever is needed, but they listed the grass paver system at the request of planning and zoning. Mr. Ellison said the grass paver system presents problems for fire crews, especially in the growing season, because CFD personnel cannot see where the paver system begins and ends. Mr. Ellison asked if a brick paver system would be considered on the project. Mr. Gleissner said there could be markers placed on the site, but the Engineering department was concerned about asphalt being installed, Page 2 of 4 WWW.CARMEL.IN.GOV ONE CIVIC SQ. CARMEL, IN 46032 (317) 571-2417 because they do not want people to think they can drive vehicles into this area. Mr. Ellison said if Engineering department did not want an obvious road, then the paver system would probably need to be installed. Mr. Dobosiewicz said in addition to Main Street, there will also be access through Ashmore to the west. Mr. Ellison said the developers will need to work to make this area identifiable with signage as to avoid confusion. Greg Hoyes – Hamilton County Surveyor’s Office - Letter sent.

The site is located at the northeast corner of 98th St. and Michigan Rd., at approximately 9801 Michigan Rd. The site is zoned B-3/Business and lies within the Michigan Rd. – US 421 Corridor Overlay Zone. Filed by Jim Shinaver of Nelson & Frankenberger LP, on behalf Prime Car Wash, LLC. Jon Dobosiewicz and Jim Shinaver with Nelson & Frankenberger, Brent Oakley with Prime Car Wash, Shawn Curran with Curran Architects, and Eric Gleissner with Civil Site Group presented on behalf of the petitioner. This is located at the northeast corner of 98th Street and Michigan Road. TAC has already seen this project for the purposes of the construction of an access road that would connect 98th Street to the private drive in front of the Home Depot. There will be two lots in this area, the lot where the Prime Car Wash will sit, and a future lot approximately one acre in size just north of the car wash. To the east of this site is the Primrose School, which is currently in the pre-construction stage. The developer is seeking from the Plan Commission on December 17, the development plan and architectural design, lighting, landscaping and signage for the facility. Joanie Clark – Vectren Energy - Ms. Clark said the plans show a gas main along 98th Street, but there is actually none in this area, so a 300- foot extension would need to be added. Mr. Gleissner asked if there would be any cost absorbed by the developer for this work. Ms. Clark said there would probably be no cost because the gas used will offset the cost of extending the main. Mr. Oakley said he hopes to have the project started by February of 2014. Nick Redden – City of Carmel Engineering Department - Letter sent. No further comments. David Lucas – Hamilton County Highway Department - This project is outside of HCHD jurisdiction. No comments. Shirley Hunter – Duke Energy - This is out of Duke’s jurisdiction. No comments.

David Littlejohn – City of Carmel Alternative Transportation - Letter sent. No further comments. Angie Conn – City of Carmel Planning & Zoning - Mr. Dobosiewicz asked if, due to the nature of the business, if the plan would allow the required bike rack to be moved to the employee entrance. Ms. Conn said this location of the bike rack would be acceptable. 9:25 a.m. Docket No. 13100019 Z: The District PUD, Edward Rose Rezone. The applicant seeks approval to rezone 29.16 acres from Old Meridian District: SFA-Single Family Attached, MU-Mixed Use, and SU-Special Use zones to PUD/Planned Unit Development. The site is located south of Main St. and west of Old Meridian St., at approximately 12852 Old Meridian St. Filed by Steven Hardin of Faegre Baker Daniels LLP on behalf of Edward Rose Properties, Inc. Steve Harden & Alyson Donica with Faegre, Baker & Daniels, and Steve Hormann & Mike Diamente with Edward Rose presented on behalf of the petitioner. Mr. Hormann said Edward Rose has approximately 30 acres under contract right now at the intersection of Main Street, Old Meridian Street, and in the future, Grand Boulevard. The petitioner is proposing mixed-use development, including some senior living, retail, and potentially a hotel. The plan is to rezone the parcel to a PUD. Joanie Clark – Vectren Energy - No objection to the rezone. Nick Redden – City of Carmel Engineering Department - Met previously. No comments on the rezone. David Lucas – Hamilton County Highway Department - This project is outside of HCHD jurisdiction. No comments. Shirley Hunter – Duke Energy - No objection to the rezone. Ms. Hunter said Duke would like to put a circuit tie in this area. The current system will not allow for this growth along Old Meridian Street, since it is a very old line. Duke would need to coordinate with the developer to build a utility easement for underground service, as overhead electrical lines would not be an option. Ms. Hunter said the original plan was to run the electrical line down Old Meridian Street, but added that Duke currently a line from Grand Boulevard, stopping at the Main Street roundabout. Ms. Hunter said there is a potential issue with the Meijer store’s electrical feed running through the area where a road is planned in the future. Chris Ellison – Carmel Fire Department - No comments. Greg Hoyes – Hamilton County Surveyor’s Office - No comments. Ryan Hartman – Clay Township Regional Waste District - This project is outside CTRWD service area. Daren Mindham – City of Carmel Urban Forestry Page 4 of 4 WWW.CARMEL.IN.GOV ONE CIVIC SQ.

Docket No: 13100023 SW: SCO Chptr 6.03.07 - Cul-de-sac length exceeds 600’ (734’ proposed). Docket No: 13100024 SW: SCO Chptr 6.03.03 - Stub streets to adjacent undeveloped parcels required (No stub to east). The applicant seeks primary plat amendment approval to modify the layout of the northern portion of the plat, for a total of 22 lots on 20.89 acres. The applicant also seeks two waivers from the Subdivision Control Ordinance. The site is located at 3915 W. 146th Street and is zoned S-1/Residence-ROSO III. Filed by David Sexton of Terra Site Development, Inc. on behalf of Fischer Homes. Dave Sexton with Terra Site Development, Richard Henderson with Fischer Homes, and Alyson Donica with Faegre, Baker & Daniels presented on behalf of the petitioner. Joanie Clark – Vectren Energy - No objections to project. Vectren’s gas service comes from the south end of the site. Nick Redden – City of Carmel Engineering Department - Letter sent. Mr. Redden asked if the previous plat was approved with Bear Creek Way as a stub street to the east, and asked why it was changed on this new plan. Mr. Henderson said this is mainly due to the Hamilton County road improvements, and the street becoming a non access frontage road. Mr. Henderson said the frontage road will provide the same function as the original stub street would have offered. David Lucas – Hamilton County Highway Department - The HCHD appreciates the developers working with them to incorporate their design recommendations. Mr. Lucas said he noticed two items that would eventually need to be addressed. First, the deceleration lane, which could potentially be there for a long time, needs to be 150 feet, instead of the 100 feet that is listed on the plans. Also, the passing blisters will need to meet INDOT specifications for taper length and lane length. Shirley Hunter – Duke Energy - No comments. Chris Ellison – Carmel Fire Department - No comments. Greg Hoyes – Hamilton County Surveyor’s Office - Letter sent. There are some easement issues and flood plain issues that will need to be addressed. Ryan Hartman – Clay Township Regional Waste District - No issue with the primary plat. The department will have more comments on the plans later. Daren Mindham – City of Carmel Urban Forestry - Comments sent. Awaiting a response. David Littlejohn – City of Carmel Alternative Transportation - Letter sent. No further comments.
