site is located at approximately 11036 N. Michigan Rd. It is zoned B-3/Business and lies
within the US 421 Overlay Zone. Filed by Steven D. Hardin of Faegre Baker Daniels LLP on

Rex Ramage with Faegre Baker Daniels, Joe Farr and Tim Jordan with JDF Development, and
Brian Cross with Civil Site Group presented the project.
Greg Hoyes – Hamilton County Surveyor’s Office

the area.

- Letter sent on October 27. Mr. Cross asked if CTRWD would have an issue with the

allowed although the department would prefer another location if possible. Mr. Hartman
added that if CTRWD needs to access the location any repairs would need to be paid for by
the developer.

Chris Ellison – City of Carmel Fire Department
- No comments.
Alex Jordan – City of Carmel Engineering
- Letter sent. No major concerns with the site. Mr. Cross said the access road shown on
the plans has been dedicated as a right-of-way and will be named Redd Road. Mr. Cross
said this road will terminate and not be a through road until further development is
completed, and said the developer will be submitting a waiver for a larger curb cut to allow
emergency vehicles to turn around. Mr. Jordan said this letter will need to be submitted to
Jeremy Kashman.
Chris Bluto – MetroNet
- No comments.
David Littlejohn – City of Carmel Alternative Transportation
- Letter sent. No comments.
Nick Mishler – City of Carmel Building & Code Services
- Mr. Mishler said typically there would be a shell building permit and each individual
tenant would pull their own building permits.
Rachel Keesling – City of Carmel Planning & Zoning
- Letter sent. Ms. Keesling said there are 421 Overlay requirements. Also, Ms. Keesling
said there is a rule that retail cannot be more than 75% of a project’s gross floor area in B-3
parcels located north of 106th St. Mr. Farr said restaurants are exempt from this so that
would account for 2800 of the total 9500 square feet, which would put the retail spaces
below the limit. Ms. Keesling said also, since Redd Road is a publically dedicated road,
there are additional requirements regarding front versus rear. Also, the Michigan Road
overlay has the most specific requirements for architecture so the building design will need
to meet the requirements. Ms. Keesling also said the department would like more
information on the north half of the site and how this will be connected in the future.
Alexia Lopez – City of Carmel Planning & Zoning
- Ms. Lopez asked how many seats are being planned for the Moe’s restaurant. Mr. Cross
said there will be 74, and added that there will be a need for a parking spot waiver based on
this amount.
9:30 a.m. Docket No. 16100025 PP: Woodside at West Clay – Primary Plat.
The applicant seeks primary plat approval for a 39 lot subdivision on 20.3 acres. The site is

Filed by Steve Pittman of PPV II, LLC on behalf of Andrew & Rhonna Crook, landowners.
Steve Pittman and Nick Churchill with Pittman Partners, and Gordan Kritz with
Stoeppelwerth and Associates presented the project. Mr. Pittman said this development will
be geared towards empty nesters with master bedrooms on the main floor and full basements.
Mr. Pittman said the plan is to have a low pressure forced main for the sewers, along with a lot
of common area. There will also be a pollinator garden as part of this development. Mr.
