It is anticipated that Sections 1 and 2 will have approximately 160 residential homes, and service will require the installation by the Company of substantial amounts of water mains and appurtenances , including 22 public fire hydrants . As this development is adjacent to the present corporate boundaries of Carmel, we recognize the possibil- ity of its future annexation by the Town . We also understand, however, that the Town does not intend to effect such annexation until after The Woodlands development is completed. In the event that annexation occurs , we would expect to continue serving in The Woodlands area (subject, of course, to the Town ' s statutory right to purchase such facilities or take them by power of eminent domain) , but would look to the Town for the payment of the Company ' s fire hydrant rental charge, which is made to all municipalities (or fire special services districts) in which the Company renders public fire protection water service. Presently that charge is $90 per hydrant, per year , but, as you are no doubt aware, it is subject to the orders of the Public Service Commission of Indiana, and can change from time to time. In addition to your assurance that the Town will, after annexation of the area , pay the rental charges approved by the Commission and in effect from time to time for hydrants within The Woodlands , the Company requests that the Board grant it authority (a) to complete its system within The Board of Trustees Town of Carmel , Indiana - 2 October 12 , 1971 The Woodlands addition should the area be annexed prior to completion of that system, (b) to continue to render water utility service within the addition after annexation, including new connections to mains serving The Woodlands , and (c) to use the streets and public ways of Carmel for installation of mains and appurtenances for the purpose of serving, now or in the future, other areas which are not within the corporate limits of Carmel at the time such service is commenced. If the steps and obligations outlined in this letter are agreeable to you, we would appreciate your signing this letter in the space below, and returning it to us . Very shortly thereafter, the Company will file with the Board an appropriate petition to formalize the foregoing. Yours very truly, INDIANAPOLIS WATER COMPANY /7 , .,Z, fri:4f.de-Z...T LValse Maurice C . Stout, Vice President • Accepted this day of October, 1971 THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE TOWN OF CARMEL, INDIANA eazmef J ow j ��an eommis1i012 eaa,nef, flndta,ia ,c October 19, 1971 v/ao01.ANOS 7-2-7` TO PLAN COMMISSION: SECTION I: Collection by 8", all flows into a 10 inch sewer which flows S. E. into SECTION II. A manhole should be provided at the North end of the 8" line just North of lots 30 and 31. I believe this is to be completed in agreement with Keystone Square Company. SECTION II: 4 lots are picked up by an 8" collector which flows into the 10" line which flows S. E. from Section I. The balance of the lots are picked up by 8" collector and flows due South. This sewage then flows South and East where it is connected into the 15 inch Keystone Interceptor at 106th and Blue Woods Creek. STREETS: Curbs, sidewalks, and street profiles conform to Town of Carmel require- ments and the Plan Commission Ordinances. There is one street which terminates in a dead end at the North end of lots 30 and 31 in Section I. The Ordinance requires a turn-a-round be provided. I believe this is to be completed in agreement with Keystone Square Co. I believe that the portions of the Sub-Division abutting 106th Street and abutting Haverstick Rd. should provide for street widening and improve- ments including curb and gutter sections, storm drainage and sidewalks. STORM DRAINAGE: The storm drainage is a large and complex picture, ( generated over several months of difficult negotiations.) I have been unable to extensively re- view these plans and feel that documentation from the design engineers coupled with the approval of the Soil and Conservation people and the County Drainage Board, (for Blue Woods Creek and the lake), should be given to the Town Engineer. The basic storm drainage within Sections I and II is well laid out and is typical until it reaches the lake. WATER: Proposed to be provided by Indianapolis,Water Co. Now shown on drawings. ' A sketch of Fire Hydrants layouts was submitted to Chief Swails. Layout looked O.K. to me. GENERAL: I would recommend final plat approval subject to meeting the following conditions: 1. Drawings and legal description to be provided for completing turn-a-round at lots 30 and 31 in the 1st. Section as well as for completion of Sanitary Sewer and man hole at this location. 2. That the developer be bound to follow any recommendations which might be forth coming from the Town's Consulting Engineers, the Department of Natural Resources the Drainage Board or the Town Engineer, relative to the ponding capacity of the lake, the construction of the dam, and the construction of or modification of any other drainage structures included in the project. 3. That the State Board of Health approval of the Sanitary Sewers be on file with the Town before any physical connection of the Sanitary Sewers be made to the Key- stone Interceptor. t . That payment of the Sewer Availability Charge be made to the Town of Carmel be- fore signing the final plats. eatind Bourn. Plan eommijd.ian eazmd; ffncilana October 19, 1971 Page -2- 5. That Construction drawings of the lake and dam be filed with the Building Commissioner, and these be approved by the Townaa Consulting Engineer and the De ment of Natural Resources. Written approval to be filed with the Town Engineer. rt- Upon meeting all of the above requirements the Building Commissioner and Town Engineer will so inform the President of the Plan Commission and the Secretary so that plats may be signed with no further delay in view of the rapid approach of unfavorable weather for good construction.
