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 Cannel 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. Commercial Committee Minutes 11-08-18 3 Committee Comments: John Adams • The section of the third floor that has rooftop units is open-air correct? • Chris Winkle-Yes. • The other half has sections that are open. How will the rooms for the groom,bride,and bathrooms be covered? • Chris Winkle-The section spanning from the groom's room to the bride's room will be roofed. The two -y corners labeled storage and vestibule will also be enclosed. • It will be a flat roof? • Chris Winkle-Yes. It will be a sloped roof,with water being caught by gutters or downspouts. A roof drain system will be present. • I am concerned with the covered rooftop areas that are flush with the walls of the third story. • Chris Winkle-Our engineers are having a little trouble with the design. I imagine there will be a foot gap between the roof and walls. • Rachel Keesling- Staff will ensure it is correct. Alan Potasnik • There will be no kitchen? • Chris Winkle-Correct. • But there will be a catering space?Closet 2 is meant for the catering area? • Chris Winkle-There will be a catering space and Closet 2 is meant for table and chairs. • Food will be trucked in or brought in? • Chris Winkle-Correct.And the side door for the catering space stems from complaints and critiques of previous models. • I am assuming trucks will pull up next to that door to unload?No semi's will pull up? • Chris Winkle-There is no staging area for trucks.A sidewalk serves that side door.The largest vehicle that will ever arrive is a box truck. ` John motions to approve Docket No. 18080015,Tom seconds,motion passes 3-0.

Docket No. 18100009 ADLS Amend: Grand &Main Retail The applicant seeks site plan and design approval for a new,one story,multi-tenant retail building totaling 11,350 sq. ft.,on 1.32 acres. The site is located at the southwest corner of Grand Blvd. and Main Street. It is zoned PUD within The District PUD. It is not located in any overlay zone. Filed by Adam Hill of Lor Corporation,owner. Petitioner: Joshua Mazur(Studio M) • The space has gone through this process already,however,the original investor decided not to move forward with the project in this area.A couple of the partners picked up the project and continued the development but with some changes. • There has been a slight increase in gross square footage of the building. This has been offset with less paving on the site. • A façade change has also occurred.The original project was mostly EIFS with a traditional cornice line. The two styles have been blended together. • I have not received any comments from the Technical Advisory Committee(TAC)members. Department Report: Rachel Keesling • This project came through Plan Commission on December 19,2017 (Docket No. 17100028). • The District(Z-587-14)Planned Unit Development(PUD)requires modern architecture.The previous architect had issues with meeting this requirement.This version does not have any issues meeting the four-sided architecture requirements. Staff likes the look of the building. It seems balanced and symmetrical even though it is not. • The materials used blend well together. • Joshua Mazur showed the material boards(Page 9 of Submitted Packet).
