He added that as long as CFD has a 20-foot wide road and hydrants, that is all they are concerned about. Mr. Wagner asked if the fire department will have any issues navigating around the island just inside the entrance. Mr. Ellison said if the truck needed to pull in and back out they would be able to, and added that the point where a turnaround is required is when there is a road that exceeds 150 feet. Dave McCoy – City of Carmel Addressing Coordinator - Mr. McCoy said the street names “Almond Creek” and “Northvale” have already been used through Hamilton County so different names will need to be chosen. Mr. Wagner said he thought these street names were reserved so he will look into it and contact Mr. McCoy. David Littlejohn – City of Carmel Alternative Transportation - Comments issued on Project Dox. Mr. Littlejohn said he wanted to clarify that the sidewalks along the cul-de-sac will be extended when the street is extended. Mr. Wagner said this is correct. Nick Mishler – City of Carmel Building Permits - Mr. Mishler asked what will be located in the floodway near the entrance to the subdivision. Mr. Wagner said there will be a hardscape path through this area but typically any dirt that is removed is taken off site. Mr. Wagner added that Jim Rinehart from Williams Creek is in the process of getting a permit for this work, as well as a vehicle bridge into the subdivision. Angie Conn – City of Carmel Planning & Zoning - Comments issued on Project Dox. Mr. Wagner asked if there is a chance the project would not need to go through BZA or Council, as it was indicated in the original PUD that there would be private drives. Ms. Conn said the petitioner would need to cite specifically in the PUD where it would allow for private streets. 9:35 a.m. Docket No. 18120009 UV UDO Section 2.05 Prohibited Uses, Printing/Publishing Facility requested. PIP Printing, 2430 E. 96th St. The 3-acre site is located at 2430 E. 96th St. It is zoned S2/Residence. Filed by Jeffrey Lauer of Polis Collaborative LLC, on behalf of PIP, Inc. Jeffrey Lauer with Polis Collaborative, and Bud Kistner and Tony Kistner with PIP Printing presented the project. Mr. Lauer said PIP is looking for more space for their sign fabrication shop, which is currently in their existing retail space. This house on the property would be used by family and friends of the owner with the pole barn in the back being used as the fabrication shop. Greg Hoyes – Hamilton County Surveyor’s Office - No comments on the use variance. Ryan Hartman – TriCo Regional Sewer Utility - Mr. Hartman asked if there are existing restroom facilities. Bud Kistner said there is no bathroom in the existing pole barn and there would not be plans to install one. Daren Mindham – City of Carmel Urban Forestry - As long as there is no major tree removal, there are no comments. Mr. Lauer said regarding tree inventory, this can be provided, but there are no plans to change the landscaping. Page 6 of 8 City of Carmel Technical Advisory Committee January 16, 2019 Chris Ellison – City of Carmel Fire Department - Email sent. Mr. Ellison said this would be considered a change of use, so there will be code requirements which will need to be met. Tony Kistner said they are gathering estimates for insulation to the pole barn but there are no plans to change the electrical system, and he added that most of the changes are minor. Mr. Ellison asked if there will be flammable liquids on site. Tony Kistner said the printers use a latex product for printing. Mr. Ellison said the main question will be whether a fire suppression sprinkler system is required. If it’s not required, then the building would need to have fire department vehicle access, which would mean at least a 20-foot wide road within 150 feet of the most remote part of the building. Mr. Ellison said the fact that this will be a commercial use means that everything changes regarding the requirements. Dave McCoy – City of Carmel Addressing Coordinator - Mr. McCoy said if this ends up going through, there would need to be an address assigned to the print shop. David Littlejohn – City of Carmel Alternative Transportation - Comment letter sent. No further comments at this time. Mr. Lauer asked where the multi-use path would be located after the dedication. Mr. Littlejohn said this path would be located within the right- of-way. Mr. Littlejohn said the petitioner may also make a monetary commitment in lieu of constructing the path, and they would work with the Engineering Department on this contribution. Nick Mishler – City of Carmel Building Permits - Mr. Mishler said along the lines of what Mr. Ellison was saying, if the pole barn will be used as a commercial structure, there may be items such as restroom facilities that will need to be added to get the building up to code. Angie Conn – City of Carmel Planning & Zoning - Review comments sent. Department is awaiting an official response. Ms. Conn said the packets for the full BZA will be due Friday, January 18. 9:45 a.m. Docket No. 18120010 UV UDO Section 2.05 Prohibited Uses in Overlay, Automobile Sales & Display requested. The 0.4 acre site is located at 10601 E. 106th St. It is zoned B2/Business and Home Place Overlay District, Business Sub-Area. Filed be E. Davis Coots of Coots, Henke & Wheeler, on behalf of Dianwei Wang and Meili He, owners. E. Davis Coots with Coots Henke Wheeler Law Firm presented the project. Mr. Coots said the owner of the property Mr. Wang currently has about 70 vehicles on the parcel, and he estimates an additional 30 vehicles on the new parcel. Mr. Coots said the plan is to pave the lot if this is approved and use concrete bumpers instead of curbing it, due to the temporary nature of the use. He added that there is a bicycle rack on the front of the existing building. Greg Hoyes – Hamilton County Surveyor’s Office - No comments or concerns on the use variance. Ryan Hartman – TriCo Regional Sewer Utility - No issue with the variance. Daren Mindham – City of Carmel Urban Forestry - Comments sent. Mr. Mindham said the Department would like to see some trees or landscaping on the site as it’s currently just an asphalt slab.
