INTRODUCTION
Carwinion Subdivision is filed by George Sweet .
Brenwick Develooment Company Inc . The site is on the
west of Shelborne Road aoproximately 2.000 feet south
of 106th Street. This proposed subdivision is part of a
rezone petition recently aooroved by the Carmel \Clav
Plan Commission and the Carmel City Council . The
subdivision consists of approximately 69 acres as shown
in the oresentation exhibits in the Appendix . It has
122 lots yielding 1 . 76 lots per acre. Construction is
anticipated to begin this year after completion of the
approval process. Lots will typically be 100 ' x 150 " or
aooroximately 15.000 souare feet and the homes are
anticipated to cost from $175.00 to $250.000.
1
COORDINATION WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
Carwinion Subdivision is a 69 acre site located on
the west side of Shelborne Road. 1/2 mile south of
106th Street . The plan calls for 122 lots. This
coordinates with the current zoning classification of
S-2. Low Intensity Residential Use. recently aporoved
by the Clav/Carmel Plan Commission and the Carmel City
Council . It will yield a density of 1 . 76 lots per acre.
The subdivision will be accessed from Shelborne
Road . Access to adjoining properties has been provided
by streets stubbed to the south and west property
lines . These streets will have increased widths to
promote through traffic west . A 40 foot half right-a-
way will be dedicated for Shelborne Road as requested
by the Hamilton County Highway Department.
This site is in the Indianapolis Water Company
service area . The Indianapolis Water Company will
extend water mains from 96th Street to the site.
Sewage disposed shall be provided by Clay Township
Regional Waste District. A sanitary sewer is currently
under construction to handle site sewers.
Drainage for the subdivision will be part of the
Hamilton County Regulated Drain system. The system will
consist of storm sewers and subsurface drains along the
road and the lot lines. The system will outlet to the
west into proposed detention areas along the Crooked
Creek drainage system.
The Carwinion Subdivision is located in the
Carmel/Clay School System.
The Fashion Mall . Castleton Mall . and Keystone
Souare Mall stores as well as establishments along U.S.
421 . will be patronized by residents of Carwinion .
Recreational and community facilities will also be used
by the residents.
Other developments nearby include Brandywine.
Bridleborne and Walnut Creek Woods to the north.
Annally Downs and Twin Lakes to the east and North
Augusta to the south. Various larger tracts with single
homes dot the immediate area .
2
BOUNDARY
The description used during the Re-zone was
prepared from recorded deeds . The description of the S-
2 area as shown on the Primary Plat Application
reflects a certified field survey of the property.
A 1 . 24 acre tract on the north line of the
subdivision has been omitted from the subdivision to be
sold to the owners along the North line.

TOPOGRAPHIC AND EXISTING UTILITIES
The t000araohic survey was provided by Lobo Aerial.
Surveys. The map is a 50 scale. ( 1 ) one foot contour
map and is based on U.S. Geoloaical Survey vertical
datum.
Existina utility locations have been provided by
the respective utility companies.
4
CONCEPTUAL PLAN LAYOUT
The plan submitted for primary plat review has
been revised from earlier conceptual development plans
used in the rezoning process. This latest plan reflects
the exclusion of the Montgomery property (30 acres
lying south of the proposed subdivision ) . Because of
this exclusion . adjustments to the street pattern were
necessary to utilize the property efficiently.
The general concept of a through street from east
to west was maintained . Only minor revisions were made
along the lake and northwest corners of the site. The
street is stubbed to the south property line for
extension to future development. These three points of
access are in conformance with Article 21 . Section 6.3 -
of the Subdivision Regulations (6. 3. 21 ) . regarding
access and extension of streets.
Original . conceptual ideas have been retained and
used as guidelines in preparing this primary plat.
5
STREETS AND TRAFFIC
The subdivision of this property into residential
lots will cause a change in •vehicular levels and
movements . To address these impacts. a traffic study
was prepared by A & F Engineering . Recommendations have
been made for minimizing traffic impacts. This report
and its recommendations were submitted with other
submittal documents and is on file with the Department
of Community Development for detailed inspection .
The Developer proposes to build acceleration and
deceleration lanes for safe traffic movement at the
subdivision entrance. Forty feet of right-a-way will be
dedicated per county wishes . Although offsite road
improvements are not warranted at this stage of
development. the Developer proposes to improve the
intersection at 96th Street and Shelborne Road .
provided the necessary right-of-way can be obtained . If
the right-of-wav is available, a left turn lane and
passing blister will be added to 96th Street. A left
turn lane will be added on Shelborne Road . These
improvements are further outlined on the detail sheet
cf the plan drawings.
Streets within the subdivision shall be curbed
( roll curb) and 26 feet in total width. The main
through street will also be curbed . but will be 30 feet
in total width. Sidewalks are planned on both sides of
the street throughout and along Sherborne Road on the
subdivision side.

STORM WATER MANAGEMENT
The county surveyor and Drainage Board have
recoanized a need for a storm water manaaement oroaram
on the Crooked Creek drainaae basin north from 96th
Street to 106th Street. Brenwick Development Company
and other parties commissioned a study of the existing
conditions to determine problems and propose solutions.
It was determined that the controlling structure in the
reach was the 96th Street pine culverts .
Two alternative solutions were considered . .First
was to improve the 96th Street structure. I .D.N.R.
would require a new bridge. The improved structure
would not address the hiah peak run off rates. It would
only serve to pass them on downstream. The second
alternative was to reduce the run off rates with a
series of retention basins to an amount the existing
96th Street structure will handle. This will also help
bring the flow within the banks of the existing channel
from 96th Street to the south oroperty line of the
Montgomery oroperty. The reach of Crooked Creek from
the south orooerty line of Montaomery to the south
orooerty line of Hoffman will be improved by the
retention basins . The second alternative was selected .
It was proposed to reduce the Crooked Creek basin
peak rate of flow for a 100 year storm (933 cfs) to a
rate the 96th Street structure will handle ( 387 cfs ) .
This is done by allocating a portion of the allowable
flow at 96th Street to each acre of around within the
Crooked Creek drainaae basin . As proposed in the
drainage study. this" will be accomolisned for both this
residential plat and the business area 3-3 and 8-5 of
Russ Wurster " s orooerty in the 2 lakes shown on the
primary plat . A coov of the drainage study is on file
with the Deoartment of Community Development. County
Surveyor' s office and Soil Conservation Service . for a
more detailed inspection .
The storm sewer system will accommodate a 10 year
storm, and be part of the Regulated Drain System. Flood
routing shall oe provided . and all dwellings shall be
at least above the 100 year flood elevation .
Subsurface drains shall be utilized for ground water
control . geothermal pumps and foundation drains.
7
SITE GRADING
The site will be graded to prepare a building ❑ad
on each lot . These pads shall meet the minimum flood
Protection grade. Fill material . which is reauired .
will be obtained from excavation of the lake areas.
Detailed soils investigations will be performed to
insure material is suitable for engineered fill.
A general soils reoort is included in the
appendix .

SANITARY SEWER SYSTEM
The sanitary treatment and collection system for
Carwinion Subdivision will be Provided by the Clay
Township Regional Waste District. C.T.R.W.D. is
currently expanding their facilities to include this
t and surrounding areas. The construction has beaun for
` these sewer facilities. Sewers will be available along
E
the south and east sides of the project. Discussions
! '„ have been held between the subdivider' s engineer and
C.T.R.W.D. regarding location . Capacity and
availability will not be problems when the construction
of the system is complete.
i
The sanitary system design is based on the
standards and requirements of C.T.R.W.D. . Indiana
E Department of Environmental Management and Ten State
Standards. C .R. T .W.D.• and I .D.E .M. will be responsible
for review and approval of the design and issuance of
construction permits.
Total estimated effluent based on Indiana
Department of Environmental Management standards is 310
gallons per day per household . This would result in an
average daily flow of 37 .820 gallons per day from this
project.
•
9
WATER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM
The source of water for Carwinion Subdivision will be
the Indianapolis Water Company . Existing mains at 96th
