City of Carmel Technical Advisory Committee August 21, 2019
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

Rachel Keesling – City of Carmel Planning & Zoning
- Ms. Keesling said she has been working with the petitioners to figure out the architecture. She
added that there are not many comments left because this has been through several rounds of reviews.
One question she had was regarding the site plan, and whether there is any way to reduce the number
of cuts and islands in the parking lot, as it seems like a lot of drive aisles for such a small site. Mr.
Cross said one concern with altering the plan would be emergency vehicles being able to access the
building. Ms. Keesling said if this design is what ends up being built, that is fine, but she would like
to have all options considered. Regarding the trash enclosure, Ms. Keesling asked if there is any way
to reconfigure so it is not facing Michigan Road. Mr. Cross said he will examine the options to rotate
the enclosure. Ms. Keesling said during the presentation to both BZA and Plan Commission, it would
be good to mention the basement floor and how there’s space for employees and a locker room
facility.
