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. 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, Page 7 of 11 City of Carmel Technical Advisory Committee June 19, 2019 Massing requiring 2 principal bldgs. on a lot with over 300’ in width, requesting one principal bldg.

Jon Dobosiewicz and Matt Pleasant with Nelson & Frankenberger, Jim Jacob with Saamrajya, LLC, and Jay Patel with SSC Construction presented the project.

Angie Conn – City of Carmel Planning & Zoning - Ms. Conn said she is reviewing the use variance petition for this item and the BZA review comments were emailed in the docket number assignment email.

Alex Jordan – City of Carmel Engineering - Comments have been submitted on Project Dox. Dave McCoy – City of Carmel Addressing - Mr. McCoy said he will work up an Illinois Street address for this site. He added that the City of Carmel does not use “North” before Illinois Street. David Littlejohn – City of Carmel Alternative Transportation - Comments submitted on Project Dox. No further comments at this time. Nick Mishler – City of Carmel Commercial Building Permits - No comments. Alexia Lopez – City of Carmel Planning & Zoning - Comments will be deferred to Rachel Keesling. Rachel Keesling – City of Carmel Planning & Zoning - Ms. Keesling said overall the building and site plan looks good. One of the comments involves adding parking lot islands so the drive aisle can be continued on the site. Also, regarding the dumpster location, Ms. Keesling asked if this can be moved further away from the entrance. Mr. Dobosiewicz said the landscaping is defined by the ordinance because of the church’s parcel. On the building architecture, Ms. Keesling said she knows it is gray, but on the plans the color appears to be blue. Mr. Dobosiewicz said they will provide some material samples. Ms. Keesling said the plan lists “Architectural Panel” but does not indicate EIFS, so this will need to Page 8 of 11 City of Carmel Technical Advisory Committee June 19, 2019 be changed. She added that an all EIFS hotel does not fall in line with the architectural standards of the US-31 overlay. Mr. Jacob said he thinks the entire first floor is brick. Ms. Keesling said the general thought is the Department is OK with a more modern design, but this doesn’t fit in with the overall design of the area, and EIFS should only be used as an accent material, so no more than 10% of the overall material. 9:55 a.m. Docket No. 19050020 Z: Rezone S-1/Residential to S-2/Residential Docket No. 19050021 PP: Troy Estates Subdivision Docket No. 19050022 V: UDO Section 2.06 Min. 35 ft. front yard setback, 25 ft. requested.
