The applicant seeks BZA Special Use approval for a horse barn and riding arena on 29.5 acres, per ZO Chptr 5.02.B: Special Use for Riding Arena in S-1 District. The site is located at 14330 Shelborne Road, at 146th Street. It is zoned S-1/Residential. Filed by Morton Buildings and Joe Calderon with Bose McKinney & Evans on behalf of the landowners. Property owner David Bidgood, Ken Jackson and Joel Westfall with Morton Buildings, Eric Carter with Weihe Engineers, Joe Calderon with Bose, McKinney & Evans Law, and Brooke Berganza presented the project. Mr. Calderon said this project will be tabled to June’s BZA agenda and said this is essentially a family-use as opposed to commercial use. Mr. Calderon said the design would contain the maximum number of stalls and is a 30,000 square foot with another accessory building that would house staff. Mr. Bidgood said this is family land and used to be corn and bean fields, and several years ago the family had planted nearly 15,000 trees. Mr. Bidgood said this building is 100 by 200 feet, but may be scaled down to 80 by 100 feet by the time it is finished. He added that they felt it was better to seek approval for the maximum size and scale it back if needed. Greg Hoyes – Hamilton County Surveyor’s Office - Letter sent. An outlet permit will be required, as well as a slight change to the drainage calculations. Joanie Clark – Vectren Energy - Ms. Clark said she did not see gas on the plans. Mr. Calderon said he has been in contact with Randy Crutchfield at Vectren to set up gas service. Mr. Bidgood said it would be over $68,000 to extend gas service to the property so they have considered a propane tank and also just having electricity and nothing else. Alexia Lopez – City of Carmel Planning & Zoning - Comments sent. Ms. Lopez asked for clarification on the property being a wildlife management area. Mr. Bidgood reiterated that the family had planted close to 15,000 trees on this property several years ago, and there is a wetland that extends through the property and the DNR manages this. Also, he said there is a roundabout proposed for this intersection that could potentially take up seven acres of property and run through the wetland area. Mr. Bidgood said the horses would use walking machines for exercise and would be ridden every day, but they are not out grazing in pastures. Ms. Lopez said if there is a dumpster on the property it will need to be enclosed and the department would like to see the plan for where it will be and what it will look like. Daren Mindham – City of Carmel Urban Forestry - Mr. Mindham said there are a lot of trees on site that are not shown on the landscape plan, so any current trees that will be preserved will need to be shown on the landscape plan. Mr. Mindham also asked if the developers can label a tree protection fence on the new plans. Page 2 of 5 WWW.CARMEL.IN.GOV ONE CIVIC SQ. CARMEL, IN 46032 (317) 571-2417 David Littlejohn – City of Carmel Alternative Transportation - Letter sent. Mr. Littlejohn said a path will be required along 146 th Street and Shelborne Road and this can be worked out with the Engineering Department. Mr. Bidgood asked if he as the homeowner would be responsible for this path. Mr. Littlejohn said this area is in Hamilton County’s jurisdiction so the property owners would need to negotiate with Hamilton County about getting this path complete. Nick Mishler – City of Carmel Building & Code Services - Mr. Mishler asked if this stable will be open to the public or would be only for family use. Mr. Bidgood said this would be a private and would be gated, although there may be some people who board horses there. Mr. Mishler said the interpretation of whether this would be commercial, residential or agricultural would most likely be left up to the State of Indiana to decide. He added if it is determined to be commercial, there are fire department approvals and several other items that would be required.

Mr. Kilmer said this project would be located on the northwest corner of the existing building. Greg Hoyes – Hamilton County Surveyor’s Office - Letter sent.
