Docket No. 18030016 Z: Franciscan Health Rezone,S-2 to MC. The applicant seeks approval to rezone approximately 6.16 acres to the MC/Meridian Corridor zoning district classification.The site is currently zoned S-2/Single Family Residential. It is located at the southeast corner of 111th Street and Illinois Street. Filed by Robert Hicks of Hall, Render, Killian, Heath, &Lyman,P.C. on behalf of Franciscan Health. Petitioner: Robert Hicks(Hall, Render,Killian,Heath,&Lyman,P.C.)& Sharon Annee(Franciscan Health) • Two meetings with the Department of Community Services(Staff)have occurred since the October 2"d Commercial Committee(Committee)meeting. • We have engaged a consulting arborist and have provided a woodlands inventory. • We have refined the site plan which is present under Tab 3 Option 2B of the Submitted Packet.The medical office and pond have been juxtaposed per Staff's request.This will bring the site closer together. • The parking garage has shifted 90 degrees and is now a minimum of 100-ft. from the residential property line to the northeast. Previously it was 30-ft. from the residential property line. • Tab 4 contains a hypothetical,conceptual master plan of the northern parcel,as well as,the Meridian Suburban subdivision if it were developed at a later date. • Tab 5 contains nine separate commitments that either concern both parcels or one depending on what development transpires. • Commitment 2 incorporates the woodland inventory.The commitment is to preserve as many non- invasive trees in the bufferyard and create, in conjunction with the Urban Forester, screening of the proposed use through landscaping. Department Report: Rachel Keesling • Staff is happy with the master planning exercise. It helped move the parking garage further from the residents,as well as,rotated the structure in order to diminish the view from homeowners to the east. • The parking garage is now parallel with the road entering the site.The road is also connected to the northern parcel,which now connects(conceptually)to 111th St. • The medical office and pond on the north parcel have been flipped in order to allow for relocation of the pond in the future. • None of this has been approved and is purely conceptual, but allows the petitioners to think ahead for possible future development as well as prepare commitments. • The conceptual master plan is meant to assist the petitioner with the type and quality of development that can occur at this site. Commercial Committee Minutes 11-08-18 1 • Nine commitments are presented and relate to architecture,woodland evaluation, building height,trash areas, loading areas, lighting,bicycle parking,prohibited uses,and the taxable property statement. • Mike Hollibaugh-The City Council(Council)President mentioned that he did not expect the Plan Commission(Commission)to resolve the property tax issue and that the Council's expectation is that . t there wouldn't be a time limit.Their goal is to ensure that all the real estate would yield property tax in perpetuity. • Alan Potasnik-If this is the case then that is Council's business. • Staff recommends the petition is sent to Plan Commission with Favorable Recommendation to Council. Committee Comments: Tom Kegley • As a point of clarification,Commitment 1 describes the six acre parcel.This is the parcel to the north? • Robert Hicks-Correct. John Adams • This petition regards rezoning the northern 6 acre parcel? • Robert Hicks-Correct. • What about the southern parcel? • Robert Hicks-It is already zoned Meridian Corridor(MC) Alan Potasnik • There will be no emergency entrance? • Robert Hicks-Correct. • This will be no more than two-stories in height? • Robert Hicks-With regards to the northern parcel,correct. • 25 beds will be present? • Sharon Annee-On the southern parcel. • Tree preservation issues are dealt with? • Robert Hicks-Correct. • Have you dealt with the serenity for the neighbors? • Rachel Keesling-With the shifting of the parking garage, I am hopeful this will occur. • Was the issue to rotate the parking garage related to light spilling from the garage onto the residential properties? • Robert Hicks-Commitment 4 is for the both parcels.The reason the garage was rotated in order to create as much space between the neighbors and the garage as possible. The lighting minimization is another result of this course of action. John Adams • If the rezone is approved by City Council,will this come through for ADLS? • Rachel Keesling-That is correct.The petitioner will come through for a Development Plan and ADLS for the entire site.This would go through the public hearing process again. • North and south? • Rachel Keesling-Yes. • The Committee are sticklers for the consistency of proposed ADLS petitions and previous corresponding petitions. • Robert Hicks-Part of the struggle with this site is the existing pipeline running through the property. There will be some changes because the design process has yet to occur. • Committee would like to see the basic location and relative sizes of structures remain. Tom Kegley • What is shown in the exhibit under Tab 4 Option 2C,that is a conceptual drawing only and is not being voted on tonight. I wanted those in the room to understand this. Commercial Committee Minutes 11-08-18 2 • Rachel Keesling-Everything that is on the Master Plan is conceptual and was an exercise to figure out the best locations for all the features. Tom motions to send Docket No. 18030016 to Plan Commission with Favorable Recommendation onto Council,John seconds,motion passes 3-0. Absent Campbell. 2. Docket No. 18080015 DP Amend/ADLS: Noah's Event Venue. The applicant seeks site plan and design approval for a new,three story event facility,totaling 14,952 sq. ft. It will be 32' tall with 101 parking spaces provided.The site is located at approximately 13315 N. Illinois Street. It is zoned MC—Meridian Corridor and is not located within any overlay zone. Filed by Chris Winkle of Noah's Event Venue. Petitioner: Chris Winkle(Noah's Event Venue) • We are the north lot in the CMC Subdivision • We are a wedding/corporate business meeting facility. • The proposed building is three-stories with an open third floor.The first-story includes a main hall, lobby, restrooms,and café.The second floor is half the size because it looks over the main hall. A ceremony room is present along with two office spaces.The third-story is an open air floor, similar to the second floor,but with the mechanical equipment stored in half. • The site plan now includes a 20-ft.buffer between the parking lot and property line. • It was decided that a second row of shrubbery will be planted between the dentist's office and our parking lot,hopefully discouraging our quests from visiting the dentist's property. • There are an extra 36 parking spaces on the property to the south that will seem as if a part of the subject property. There is a shard parking agreement. There are almost 130 parking spaces. • Everything has been submitted to the Carmel Fire Department.The existing fire hydrants were installed under Indiana Water.They are now private hydrants. I am working on procuring flow tests.This must be done once a year. • All of the Engineering Department's comments have been addressed. • Easement documentation is being drafted because Best Management Practices(BMPs)are present on the property.Access easements are being asked for in order to inspect the BMPs. • All light fixtures are LEDs. Two wall packs are located at every door, as well as,two at each end.They are black and serve as the emergency lighting.They only shine downwards. I have included them on the building elevations. • Parking lot lights are standard black square fixtures,but LED. • Chris showed a material board(titled Materials Used in the file)with standard brick used for Noah's Event Center. • We will use a local supplier. All the windows and doors will use a black metal. Awnings will be made with a black mesh welded unto a black tube steel.Above the windows is a black c-channel. Corrugated metal might be used on the trash enclosure. Department Report: Rachel Keesling • The petitioner has addressed all outstanding comments and has received approval from the Fire Department, Engineering Department, and Urban Forestry. The light fixtures and photometric plan all match what is required. • One variance has been applied for;the lot width.The building is required to cover 75%of the lot width in the MC district.The CMC building essentially takes care of the vision for this requirement. • Staff is supportive of the variance because the general intent is met by the CMC building and this is a technicality and there is no way they could meet this. • The site plan has been adjusted to meet the 20-ft. setback on the north side. • The petitioner rotated the floor plans and elevations 180 degrees to appropriately reflect the layout of proposal. • Staff recommends approval tonight.
