City of Carmel Technical Advisory Committee July 17, 2019
9:25 a.m. (SU) Clay Center Rd. Elementary School
The applicant seeks the following special use approval for a new school:
Docket No. 19060003 SU UDO Section 2.03 Permitted Uses, Education Special Use
required.
The site is located at 12025 Clay Center Rd. and is 35 acres in size. It is zoned S1/Residence and Silvara
PUD/Planned Unit Development. Filed by Ron Farrand of Carmel Clay Schools.
Darcy Fowler with Context Design, Jim Funk and Brent Hite with CSO Architects, Ron Ferrand with
Carmel Clay Schools, and Karen Collins with A & F Engineering presented the project.
Mr. Hite said the design of this school is typical of the School Safety 101 that is practiced on school
construction today. This involves separating cars and buses, as well as looping the car line around the
property which allows the stacking of cars to be moved off city streets as much as possible. Mr. Hite
said in addition to the school, there will be four lighted baseball fields, which will replicate what
currently exists at Carmel Elementary.

the school.

waiting of a reply.

Alexia Lopez – City of Carmel Planning & Zoning
- Ms. Lopez asked the percentage of people who drop off kids compared to ride buses. Mr. Hite said
this is kind of an unknown until the school is completed, although they have estimated between 10-12
buses. Mr. Ferrand said historically about 80% of the students ride the bus.
