City of Carmel Technical Advisory Committee January 16, 2019
David Littlejohn – City of Carmel Alternative Transportation
- Plans have been reviewed and the comment letter was distributed. There were no comments on the
rezone, but there were several issues to consider when the development plan is created.
Nick Mishler – City of Carmel Building Permits
- No comments.
Rachel Keesling – City of Carmel Planning & Zoning
- Ms. Keesling said the biggest concern is making sure all easements are shown on the development
plans. There was also some confusion on the Lake City Bank building. Ms. Keesling said the plan
shows four lots, and she added if the plan is for three lots that is fine, but the Department will need an
updated plat. There is also a cross access easement that will need to be added back to the plan. Ms.
Keesling said the Department is fine with the rezone and she is glad to see the project continuing to
move forward even though the daycare is not a part of the plan. Mr. Calderon said the plan is to put
this project in front of Plan Commission in February, so notices will be going out within the next few
weeks. Mr. Timko said they are working with Lake City Bank, but asked what will happen in the
event that they cannot get the bank to sign the plat. Ms. Keesling said the petitioners should finalize
their portion of the plat, and if the bank is not removed or identified as another lot will be fine.
Angie Conn – City of Carmel Planning & Zoning
- Ms. Conn said regarding Lake City Bank signing the plat, she said it would benefit the bank to sign
onto the petitioner’s plan because they wouldn’t need to go through the public notice process.

is zoned B-2/Business and is within the Old Town Overlay District, Historical Range Line sub-area.
Filed by Adam DeHart of Keeler Webb on behalf of the owner, Vine Real Estate Holdings, LLC.
Adam DeHart with Keeler-Webb Associates, Chad Apple with Meyer & Najem, and owner Scott
Antoine presented the project. Mr. DeHart said Vine Health Care provides specialized medicine and
more of a natural option than normal medicine. He added that the business would like to stay in Carmel
but they need additional space so they will move out of their current location temporarily while a larger
two-story building is completed. Mr. DeHart said the southeast corner of the building will feature a
juice bar with a patio area for outdoor seating.
Greg Hoyes – Hamilton County Surveyor’s Office
- Letter sent. Mr. Hoyes said since there is no runoff increase, nothing will be required.
Ryan Hartman – TriCo Regional Sewer Utility
- This project is outside of TriCo service territory.
Daren Mindham – City of Carmel Urban Forestry
- Comments sent on Project Dox. Most comments involved getting the right trees in the right spots.

Chris Ellison – City of Carmel Fire Department
- Mr. Ellison said he did not see any fire protection facilities and asked if the design called for fire
protection. Mr. DeHart said not at this time. Mr. Ellison said the interior seating of the juice bar
portion of the project could possibly kick in a sprinkler requirement, so he will need to see those
details.
Dave McCoy – City of Carmel Addressing Coordinator
- No comment.
David Littlejohn – City of Carmel Alternative Transportation
- Comments submitted on Project Dox. There are no further comments at this time.
Nick Mishler – City of Carmel Building Permits
- A state release will be required prior to applying for a building permit. Mr. DeHart said the building
will be demolished and the foundation will be removed. Mr. Mishler said the demolition permit can
be applied for ahead of time and once the demolition is complete the building permit could be issued.
Mr. DeHart said the original structure is about 90 years old but it was remodeled in 1995. Mr.
Mishler said there is a chance an asbestos inspection would be required due to the age of the structure
but he can look back through the remodel permit that was done to see if the asbestos inspection was
done at that time.
Rachel Keesling – City of Carmel Planning & Zoning
- Ms. Keesling said the Department is good with the layout and design. Regarding the building
design, she would like to see additional details on the window design for the first floor. Mr. DeHart
said he will mention the changes to the architect so it can be updated on the plans. Ms. Keesling said
the Department is looking for ways to make the building stand out as it is on a corner and three sides
are very prominent.
Angie Conn – City of Carmel Planning & Zoning
- No comments.
