He said the northwest building could be an Illinois Street address, while the northeast building could be Illinois Street or even Fidelity Way. Mr. McCoy said as the project moves forward, the street names and addressing can be discussed. David Littlejohn – City of Carmel Alternative Transportation - Comments submitted on Project Dox. No further comments at this time. Alexia Lopez – City of Carmel Planning & Zoning - All comments will be deferred to Rachel Keesling. Rachel Keesling – City of Carmel Planning & Zoning - Ms. Keesling asked about the raised sidewalk that appears on the plans. Mr. Boardman said this was only a decorative detail added to the renderings and may not ultimately get done. Ms. Keesling also asked about the garage, and whether there is something else behind the screen between the pre- cast floors. Mr. Boardman said this area is all open. Ms. Keesling said the renderings also show a sign on the rooftop mechanical equipment facing US-31. This would need a variance since it does not face a public street. She added that the garage would not be able to have a sign either, since it is an accessory structure. 9:20 a.m. Docket No. 18110010 PP: Camferdam Subdivision, Primary Plat (submitted in ProjectDox) Docket No. 18110012 SW: Camferdam Waiver - UDO 7.25.E.3: Connectivity: All developments shall provide stub streets The applicant seeks primary plat and design standard waiver approval for a 12 lot subdivision on 18 acres. The site is located on the east side of Hoover Road, north of 116th Street. It is zoned S- 1/Residential. Filed by Nelson and Frankenberger, on behalf of Platinum Properties Management Company. Jon Dobosiewicz and Jim Shinaver with Nelson & Frankenberger, and Tim Walter with Platinum Properties presented the project. Greg Hoyes – Hamilton County Surveyor’s Office - Letter sent. Mr. Hoyes said there are no major concerns with the Primary Plat. A floodplain study will be required for the creek, and the property will need to be walked to make sure no improvements need to be done. Ryan Hartman – TriCo Regional Sewer Utility - Mr. Hartman said he met with the project Engineer last week to discuss sewer options. Once these plans have been finalized, TriCo will review the plans. Daren Mindham – City of Carmel Urban Forestry - Comments submitted in Project Dox. Mr. Mindham said the main concern was getting a woodland evaluation to figure out what percentage of the woods will be required to be kept. There will also need to be an open space plan to show the breakdown of type and location for the woods. Angie Conn – City of Carmel Planning & Zoning - Comments will be deferred to Alexia Lopez. Alex Jordan – City of Carmel Engineering - Comments sent through Project Dox. There are no further comments at this time. Page 4 of 4 City of Carmel Technical Advisory Committee December 19, 2018 Dave McCoy – City of Carmel Addressing - No comments. David Littlejohn – City of Carmel Alternative Transportation - Comments submitted on Project Dox. Most of the comments were relating to the crosswalk at the front of the neighborhood. Mr. Littlejohn said there appear to be two crosswalks right next to each other. Alexia Lopez – City of Carmel Planning & Zoning - Ms. Lopez said this is still being reviewed on Project Dox. She asked if the developer has reached out to the property owner to the south regarding the stub street. Mr. Dobosiewicz said the developers were in a rush to get a plat together when the 116th Street Overlay was being put in place and they were trying to secure the ability to divide the property in the future. Ms. Lopez said what the Department would like to avoid is a situation where each property owner plats their own properties and there is no connection possible. Mr. Shinaver said the intention would be to preserve a majority of the east side of the property since it is considered floodplain and homes would not be able to be built on it. Ms. Lopez said she will also need to see the locations of entrance signage. Mr. Dobosiewicz said the Project Dox system does not allow for timely responses as the system requires that all parties have completed their reviews before the applicant will be allowed to resubmit. He added that this leads to delays that sometimes last weeks at a time. Mr. Dobosiewicz said a suggested change to the system would be if there are 5 agencies reviewing the plans and 4 of the 5 are complete, to allow responses to be submitted without having to wait for the 5th agency to complete their review, which can sometimes take weeks.
