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. 9:40 a.m. Docket No. 19050028 ADLS Amend: 12955 Old Meridian Remodel 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.

Filed by Kevin Buchheit of Krieg Devault on behalf of BRU Carmel RE LLC and JKB Properties LLC.

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. 9:45 a.m. Docket No. 19050014 DP/ADLS: Avid Hotel Docket No. 19050015 V: UDO Section 5.07 (D)(3) – Meridian Corridor Architectural Standards,
