She added that she had some ideas on how to enhance the façade but now that it’s changed, she feels there are breaks in the façade on the north and is not sure what changes to suggest. Mr. DeHart asked if the brick on the north façade should remain and be painted, or if there should be siding installed. Ms. Keesling said she likes the difference as it shows the original. 9:10 a.m. Docket No. 19050011 TAC: Martin Marietta Office Building. The applicant seeks administrative construction plan approval for a new office building. The site is located at 5140 E 96th Street and is zoned S-1/Residential. Filed by Fred Parker of Weihe Engineers on behalf of Martin Marietta Materials, Inc. Daniel Wilson and John Sosnowski with Martin Marietta, and Fred Parker with Weihe Engineers presented the project. Angie Conn – City of Carmel Planning & Zoning - Comments have been submitted on Project Dox. Ms. Conn asked if there are any future plans for office expansion or any additional buildings to be added in the future. Mr. Sosnowski said there are no plans for future buildings. Sam Clark – Hamilton County Surveyor’s Office - Plans have been received. Mr. Clark said at this time there are no comments. Daren Mindham – City of Carmel Urban Forestry - Comments have been added to Project Dox. Mr. Parker said Martin Marietta is proposing 11 Evergreens, and added that there is no indication that the landscaping ordinance is applicable. Alex Jordan – City of Carmel Engineering - Mr. Parker asked which type of easement would be required with the two slotted drains, and said he was planning on a BMP easement. Mr. Jordan said the BMP easement would probably be best. Mr. Sosnowski asked if there was any procedure in place to allow for an expedited review. Mr. Jordan said he will forward a memo that outlines the process, but essentially the developer would pay $3,000, which goes to the drainage consultant, and is guaranteed a two week turnaround. Dave McCoy – City of Carmel Addressing - Mr. McCoy said he will assign an address on this site. Jason Stewart – City of Carmel Utilities - Mr. Stewart said the biggest issue is there is a 12-inch force main running down Gray Road. Mr. Parker said the comments he previously received do not apply to this project. Mr. Stewart said whoever is doing the installation can contact him and he will walk them through the requirements. David Littlejohn – City of Carmel Alternative Transportation - Comments submitted on Project Dox. Mr. Wilson said he understands the path is required per the ordinance, but the initial curb cut was added at the request of Mike Hollibaugh to help facilitate a reduction in speed in this area. He added that they don’t agree with the City of Carmel’s request to add this path to the area. Mr. Parker said this would be approximately 4200 linear feet of path. Mr. Wilson said they are also working with Carmel Utilities to add an easement to the area. Page 3 of 11 City of Carmel Technical Advisory Committee June 19, 2019 Mr. Littlejohn said his comments were standard comments regarding the Thoroughfare Plan and he would like to speak with Mike Hollibaugh about the Right-of-way improvements. He said the other comment is regarding pedestrian connectivity and what can be done to keep pedestrians out of the streets while walking from areas such as the southern parking lot. Mr. Wilson said there will be signs posted along Gray Road indicating no pedestrian traffic will be able to access the site, along with a fence and gate.

Angie Conn – City of Carmel Planning & Zoning - The Commitment Amendment petition has been reviewed, and Ms. Conn said she noticed that Jim Shinaver responded to comments already. She added that it would be great if someone from the neighborhood could show up at the meeting or provide something in writing indicating they support the project. Ms. Conn said for the record, the Department is not in support for the Commitment Amendment of the triangular parcel, but they are in support of the Commitment Amendment for the Napleton Kia parcel. Sam Clark – Hamilton County Surveyor’s Office - Mr. Clark said he has not yet received physical plans for either of the projects. Daren Mindham – City of Carmel Urban Forestry - Comments have been issued in Project Dox. Mr. Mindham said the main comments are the buffer yard width requirements were not matching what the plans show, and the south area is in a floodway so the developer would need permission from DNR to plant trees in this area. Mr. Schrage said there is nothing being added to the floodway, and any trees to be added would be out of this area.
