Residential
Docket No. 19050018 DP/PP/ADLS: Monon Crossing Townhomes
The applicant seeks rezone, site plan and design approval for a new subdivision consisting of 72
townhomes on 6.8 acres. The site is located at 1101 Rohrer Rd. The site is currently zoned R-
1/Residential with a proposed change to UR/Urban Residential. Filed by Nelson & Frankenberger, LLC
on behalf of Lennar Homes of Indiana.
Jon Dobosiewicz and Matt Pleasant with Nelson & Frankenberger, Ty Rinehart and Stu Huckelberry
with Lennar, and Kristopher Eichhorn with HWC Engineering presented the project.
Angie Conn – City of Carmel Planning & Zoning
- Ms. Conn said all of her comments will be deferred to Alexia Lopez.
Sam Clark – Hamilton County Surveyor’s Office
- Plans have been received, and the Department will reply with review comments shortly.
Alex Jordan – City of Carmel Engineering
- Comments submitted on Project Dox. He added that there were no major comments, but the
Department did want to ask about the flooding in Hunters Creek to make sure this has been examined.
Dave McCoy – City of Carmel Addressing
- Mr. McCoy said there is no issue with the rezone. However, the alleys shown on the plans will need
to be named.
Jason Stewart – City of Carmel Utilities
- Comments have been submitted on Project Dox.
David Littlejohn – City of Carmel Alternative Transportation
- Comments submitted on Project Dox. Mr. Littlejohn asked if the townhomes have garages. Mr.
Dobosiewicz said the townhomes have garages as well as parking behind the units. Mr. Littlejohn
said one of the comments was to provide a bicycle and pedestrian connection along the street to the
Monon, and if this ends up being a private street, there would need to be a public pedestrian
easement, because people would use it to access the Monon Trail.
Nick Mishler – City of Carmel Commercial Building Permits
- No comments.
Alexia Lopez – City of Carmel Planning & Zoning
- Ms. Lopez said regarding the main street or block, as of right now the Department would prefer this
to be public right-of-way. As part of this street, the department would like to show the right-of-way
connecting all the way to the Monon Trail. Also, the Department would like to see the emergency
drive become a public street to connect the stub street to the south. Ms. Lopez said the path shown
along Rohrer Road is 8-feet wide, but 10-feet is the minimum requirement. Also, the ordinance
requires a certain amount of tree preservation, so this would need to be shown on the plans. Ms.
Lopez said there may be comments regarding the architecture to try to make the back of the building
more attractive.
Rachel Keesling – City of Carmel Planning & Zoning
- No comments.

Page 6 of 11
City of Carmel Technical Advisory Committee June 19, 2019
The applicant seeks site plan and design approval for a remodel of the existing building and
reconfiguration of site circulation and parking. The site is located at 12955 N. Old Meridian Street and is
2.23 acres in size. It is zoned UC/Urban Core and is not located within an overlay zone. Filed by Kevin
Buchheit of Krieg Devault on behalf of BRU Carmel RE LLC and JKB Properties LLC.
Kevin Buchheit with Krieg DeVault, Nicholas Vergatos with JPS Consulting Engineers, and Brent
Roberts with Phanomen Design presented the project. Mr. Roberts said the sidewalk will remain where
it is currently located, and the openings to the businesses will remain even though there will be new
storefronts.
Sam Clark – Hamilton County Surveyor’s Office
- Mr. Clark said plans have not yet been received.
Daren Mindham – City of Carmel Urban Forestry
- Landscape plan has been received and it is OK to move forward with.
Alex Jordan – City of Carmel Engineering
- Comments sent on Project Dox. Mr. Jordan said the Department needs more construction
documents than what were uploaded, as there was no demo plan or SWPPP narrative. Also, Mr.
Jordan said the Department requires detention when the area of disturbance is more than .25 of an
acre, and this disturbance is approximately .8 acres.
Dave McCoy – City of Carmel Addressing
- Mr. McCoy said if there are changes to the suites, the petitioners would need to work with Nick
Mishler in the permit office as well as the Fire Marshal.
Jason Stewart – City of Carmel Utilities
- Mr. Stewart said he will need to be contacted when the demo begins because this is a unique
property, in that all tenants share one lateral.
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 Commercial Building Permits
- Mr. Mishler said regarding the suite numbers, he can provide the details of this when the building
permit is issued.
Alexia Lopez – City of Carmel Planning & Zoning
- All comments will be deferred to Rachel Keesling.
Rachel Keesling – City of Carmel Planning & Zoning
- Ms. Keesling said one thing the Department likes to avoid is Hardie Siding at the base of the
building. She said regarding the light poles, if the poles are staying the same but the fixtures are
changing, the plan would need to comply with the ordinance. Ms. Keesling said there are other
comments on Project Dox.
