recovery. In Clay Township, the elected officials have mandated 100% cost recovery. The Parks
currently operate at a 102% cost recovery.
Daren Mindham – City of Carmel Urban Forestry
- Generally the comments were minor but the main question is if the new utilities are running from
Main Street south along the western perimeter and if these trees will be removed. Mr. Snyder said it
will be new utilities run in this area and he said the utilites should miss the existing trees.

Alex Jordan – City of Carmel Engineering Department
- Comments submitted on Project Dox. Mr. Jordan said the plans were missing several sheets so once
these are added, the full review can be completed. Mr. Jordan added that the drainage report has not
yet been received.
Dave McCoy – City of Carmel Addressing Coordinator
- Mr. McCoy said his initial thought is the Fieldhouse would take on the address that already exists on
this property, but if anyone has an issue with that, he would be happy to discuss. Mr. Snyder said this
is going to be re-platted and will be a separate parcel.
Jason Stewart – City of Carmel Utilities
- Mr. Stewart said some of the land around this area is private, so when construction starts, Carmel
Utilities will not be locating the sewers. He added that a third party may be needed in order to locate
this. Also, Mr. Stewart asked if the new lift station is large enough to accommodate the new
structure. Mr. Stephens-Hotopp said the existing lift station is being resized.
Rachel Keesling – City of Carmel Planning & Zoning
- No comments.
Angie Conn – City of Carmel Planning & Zoning
