HomeMy WebLinkAboutMinutes PC 03-19-19 Committee Comments:
Josh Kirsh: What is the difference between the current classification and the proposed classification? Adrienne: It's
currently zoned a B-3,which is a business district. It allows for a variety of commercial uses. The C-1 allows for a mix
Iof uses,both residential and comrriercial. The site is already surrounded on two sides by the C-1 zone.
Josh: What is the CRC? Adrienne: The CRC is a 5 member body under the direction of the Carmel Redevelopment
Department. They assemble land and look at big picture planning. They are able to apply assistance with larger
structures. Josh: Is it safe to say that nothing will be added that would take away or devalue from the current area?
Adrienne: Correct. The uses that are permitted in the C-1 district are offices,retail,and residential. Josh: So better
than an empty building? Adrienne: Yes,way better. Josh: Does the CRC helps with empty and vacant buildings?
Adrienne: Yes,they help make improvements in larger areas, instead of single areas.
Sue: Are all the planning proposals approved by the Redevelopment Commission?This does not come back to the Plan
Commission? Adrienne: The development plans receive a public hearing through the Plan Commission's Hearing
Officer and does not come in front of the full Plan Commission. It still has the same public hearing requirements.
Brad: Can you go through the existing adjacent zoning districts? Adrienne: Referring to the map, Existing are C-1,B-3,
B-7,and B-8.

and City Center Drive from the R2/Residence and B7/Business District within the Range Line Road Overlay

Plan Commission.
Petitioner: Adrienne Keeling:
• Presented a zoning map of the subject area

• It's currently occupied by a shopping center,Ace Hardware,and two residential homes on Pawnee Dr.
• The purpose is of this to facilitate the ongoing redevelopment efforts of the City Center area and growth
• This transition will allow for more coordinated development of small groups of lots
• The C2 district will allow the CRC to lead collaborations on this site. They own a portion of this block.

• The building height allowance is 35'. This is consistence to the current Range Line Overlay zoning district

Public Comments:
Jean Tollman,lives just east of the subject area: I'm curious of the future plans. Do we have any projected ideas that
will happen to the area east of Pawnee? I have lived in this area over 20 years. It feels like this area is being chipped
away as time goes by. What are the 5, 10,and 20 year plans?
John Walls, lives on Pawnee Dr.: We just moved in,are doing a lot of home improvements. We already have a serious
traffic issue on Pawnee Drive. We need some kind of traffic plan for this area. We don't want the parking lot entrance of
this new facility right across from our driveway because we would be never able to get out. Can you address the future
Iplans?
Kathleen Cook, 805 Oswego Road: I'm concerned for the height of the buildings,traffic and the future of Ace
Hardware.
David Morrow, 141 Winona Drive: I imagine the houses on Pawnee Road along Range Line will be consumed by this

Katy Garrison: I work at Pizza Hut right there. Will they give us time to relocate? We were working at the Pizza Hut
on 116th St. and when that area was under construction some of us were out of the job for four months.
Rebuttal to Public Comments: Adrienne Keeling:
• The current zoning along E Range Line Road is Commercial up to one parcel deep
• There's no plan than other residential along E Cannel Drive,towards Keystone Pkwy
• It would not all change to Commercial. Looking at the entire block, if development occurs,you can make better
plans for circulation,parking,and better building placement.
• I will notify the CRC to make consideration of the noise and traffic
• The allowed building height for C-2 district is 35' (2 stories)
• Commercial use will only go one block deep along Range Line Road south of this site
• I can't speak for the CRC,but they typically work with the existing owners, so they could keep or help relocate
Pizza Hut
• I have made notes for the Redevelopment Commission and will pass them along
Department Report: None
Committee Comments:
Brad: Which parcels are owned by the CRC? Adrienne: They own the shopping center and the parcels along City
Center Drive. Brad: Is Ace Hardware seeking to change its structure? Adrienne: Ace Hardware is currently there,and
is allowed to remain and operate as they do to today with the C-2 rezoning. There's nothing in the rezoning that would
force Ace Hardware to move. Brad: Is Ace Hardware or the owners seeking this rezone? Adrienne: No,they are not.
