CARMEL TECHNICAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE
MEETING MINUTES
Date: Wednesday, July 17, 2019
Place: Dept. of Community Services Conference Room, 3rd Floor, Carmel City Hall.
Time: 9:00 a.m. (Approximate start times for each item are listed below)
9:00 a.m. Docket No. 18090012 Z: Sherman Drive Townhomes Rezone (R-2 to UR)
Docket No. 18090013 DP/ADLS: Sherman Drive Townhomes
The applicant seeks rezone, development plan, and ADLS approval in order to develop 4 townhomes on
Main Street. The site is located at 7 Sherman Drive. It is currently zoned R-2/Residential with a
proposed change to UR/Urban Residential. Filed by Paul Reis with Krieg DeVault, LLP on behalf of
AZR Haver LLC.
Chris Engel with Krieg DeVault, Aaron Hurt with CEC, and Dan Moriarity with Studio M presented the
project. Mr. Moriarity said this will be four units with attached garages. He added that this project will
be rental apartments. Mr. Hurt said the current house would be demolished and the new structure will be
slightly larger than the current footprint. He added that there are nice trees in the back of the property
which they will try to preserve. Mr. Hurt said the project is proposing a rear driveway with permeable
pavers and underground detention.
Sam Clark – Hamilton County Surveyor’s Office
- Paper plans have not been received which is what the Surveyor’s Office requires. Mr. Clark said an
outlet permit will be required.
Daren Mindham – City of Carmel Urban Forestry
- Mr. Mindham said the latest landscape plan is ready to stamp unless there have been changes.
Ryan Hartman – TriCo Regional Sewer Utility
- This project is outside of TriCo jurisdiction.
Dave McCoy – City of Carmel Addressing Coordinator
- Mr. McCoy said his initial thought is that unit 1 would have a Sherman Drive address and the
remaining units would be addressed off of Main Street.
Jason Stewart – City of Carmel Utilities
- Mr. Stewart said even though these are apartments, Utilities would be OK with there being four
separate laterals just in case the building would ever convert from rental units to for sale units.
David Littlejohn – City of Carmel Alternative Transportation
- Mr. Littlejohn said the Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan requires a 10-foot Multi-Use concrete path along
Main Street, and this should be identified on the plans.

Nick Mishler – City of Carmel Building and Code
- Mr. Mishler said there may be different codes whether the building is apartment units rather than for
sale units, so the developers would most likely want to figure this out before applying rather than
trying to change the use later.
Alexia Lopez – City of Carmel Planning & Zoning
- Ms. Lopez said perhaps the architectural design can incorporate a raised roof or another element to
break up the western part of the building. She added that overall the Department is happy with the
design.
Rachel Keesling – City of Carmel Planning & Zoning
- No comments.
9:15 a.m. Docket No. 19030003 DP/ADLS: Riverview Health – US 421
The applicant seeks site plan and design approval for a new healthcare facility on 1.9 acres. The
building will be about 11,000 sq. ft., 26’3” tall, and will have 82 parking spaces provided. The site is
located at 10830 N. Michigan Road, just north of Pearson Ford. The site is zoned B3/Business and is
located within the US 421 Overlay Zone. Filed by Mark Leach of Faegre Baker Daniels on behalf of EQ
106 Michigan, LLC.
Mark Leach with Faegre Baker Daniels, Colin Patterson with American Structurepoint, and Anthony
Zerrer with Equity LLC presented the project. Mr. Zerrer said this will be a standalone facility which
will not be used for overnight stays. However, it will be open 24-hours a day, 7 days a week.
Sam Clark – Hamilton County Surveyor’s Office
- Plans received. Letter has not yet been sent. Mr. Clark said this building has a high runoff rate, but
given the master plan was approved in 2007 and the curve number is lower than what was initially
approved, there should not be an issue. Mr. Clark also noted that no regulated drain runs through any
of the adjacent lots.
Daren Mindham – City of Carmel Urban Forestry
- Comments are on Project Dox. No further comments.
Ryan Hartman – TriCo Regional Sewer Utility
- Comments have been emailed. Mr. Hartman said the main concern is what will be in the structure
itself. If it will be a restaurant or any type of food service, a grease interceptor may be required.
Dave McCoy – City of Carmel Addressing Coordinator
- Mr. McCoy verified that 10830 N. Michigan Road is the correct address.
David Littlejohn – City of Carmel Alternative Transportation
- Comments submitted on Project Dox. No further comments.
Nick Mishler – City of Carmel Building and Code
- No comments.
Rachel Keesling – City of Carmel Planning & Zoning
- Ms. Keesling said there are still some changes that will need to be made on the design, such as the
number and shape of windows, the scale of the overhang compared to the rest of the building, and
some additional details.
