HomeMy WebLinkAboutMinutes PC 10-15-19 going to park? Alan: We did discuss this at our Committee meeting. We were assured the use of these proposed buildings will not conflict with the Ritz Charles during the day. Brad: Will there be any signs presented to restrict their use? Josh: We discussed this,and decided not to have any shared parking signage. The nature how someone will travel to a hotel is changing with ride share companies. Brad: I would be concerned about a specific amount of spaces restricted for their exclusive uses. Brad Schrage: There's no desire and it was not brought up. There are few spaces on the north side that will be reserved to medical office tenants. Brad: Can they limit those to office hours only? Brad Schrage: Yes,we can confine these reserved spaces to office hours. A Motion by Alan and seconded by Josh to approve Docket No. 19060018 DP with the Condition the only dedicated/reserved parking spaces will be located on the north side of the medical office building for limited hours of the day(i.e. business hours). Motion Passes 8-0,absent Kegley 5.

Docket No. 19050018 DP/PP/ADLS: Monon Crossing Townhomes.(Old Business) The applicant seeks rezone, site plan and design approval for a new subdivision consisting of 64 60 townhomes on 6.8 acres. The site is located at 1101 Rohrer Rd. The site is currently zoned R-1/Residential with a proposed change to UR/Urban Residential. Filed by Nelson&Frankenberger,LLC on behalf of Lennar Homes of Indiana. Petitioner: Jim Shinaver,Nelson&Frankenberger,LLC • The Residential Committee voted on Oct. 1 with a favorable recommendation to forward to the full PC for final vote • Presented an aerial map, revised site plan and revised plan for the Rohrer Road frontage • We increase our setback from Rohrer Road from 57' to 70'. We have included street trees,a separate side walk that leads to the front porches,and the required multi-use path along Rohrer Road. • Architectural revisions on the front elevations include treatment over the front door and window headers,adding a varied masonry color scheme to individual buildings to provide architectural diversity • Rear elevations revisions include a variation of color schemes, stone base and brick masonry treatment added up to the height of the garage doors,additional 3`d floor windows,and cornice treatment underneath the roofline • Revisions to the common areas include additional trees,benches, landscaping beds, and short-term bike parking • Revisions to the Monon trail connection that include bike parking,widen the path to 10',and benches • Tab 9 includes the revised site line exhibit • Per the Subdivision Waiver request,Lennar is not proposing to construct a full street connection into Autumn Lake subdivision at the existing stub street. We will provide a gated emergency access only. We will try to preserve any existing trees at this emergency access point. • We appeared before TAC and they reviewed the site plan with the emergency only access. We did not hear any concerns from Fire or Police Department. We don't see an overwhelming benefit of a full street connection • $275k—$350k price range for townhomes Public Comments: Ed Sweeney,Autumn Lake: I think the Petitioner has summarized this very well. I would ask for you to vote in favor of the waiver. A full street connection with emergency only signage would not deter people from using it. Patrick Rondeau,Autumn Lake: I also agree with the Petitioner and Developer to not install a full street connection. We are happy to see a 50' setback. What size and species of the trees will be planted within this 50' setback? I'm concern with this new development affecting the existing water pressure. This will need to be addressed if they are connecting to our water source. 6 Plan Commission Meeting Minutes 10-15-19 Rebuttal to Public Comments:Jim Shinaver • We have submitted our landscape plan to the Urban Forester and those plans will show the species and sizes of trees.The Urban Forester has approved our landscape plan. • We are not connecting to the water source of Autumn Lake subdivision Department Report: Alexia Lopez: • The Petitioner has made many changes and addressed all of our comments • We would not anticipate the townhome residents would use the stub street(full street)connection • As a compromise,we would limit the stub street connection to an emergency access only • We recommend approval of the PP,DP,ADLS and favorable recommendation to the City Council for the rezone • We recommend approval of the SW condition upon the access being allowed to emergency and service vehicles Residential Committee Report: Brad: We looked at improvements to buffers,open space, and landscaping. We looked at the changes to the townhome building along Rohrer Road. We enhanced the path to the Monon and the townhome architecture standards. We did not feel strongly for a street connectivity. There's no convenience or advantage to using the stub street. The emergency vehicles access only was our agreement. Sue: The Petitioner made a lot of great changes and we appreciate that. I agree that it should not be accessed by service vehicles and have emergency vehicles access it only. Committee Comments: Josh: Can you explain how there will be stub street connection between the existing trees and how are you going to save those trees? Jim Shinaver: The connection will not be a full street width. We can't preserve all the trees. We would have to remove at least one tree(points to tree on photo). Josh: So this connection will look more like a trailhead with a Knox Box than a city street with curbs and sidewalks? Jim Shinaver: Correct,there will be no curbs or sidewalks. ILaura: I support their Subdivision Waiver request. I appreciate all the improvements and work done. Alan: As a safety concern,I also agree for Subdivision Waiver request for emergency vehicles only. I don't intend on voting in favor of this development because this is not the right project for this piece of land. A Motion by Alan and seconded by Josh to approve Docket No. 19090007 SW subject to emergency vehicles only. Motion Passes 8-0, absent Kegley A Motion by Josh and seconded by Sue 19050017 Z to forward City Council with Favorable Recommendation and to approve 19050018 DP/PP/ADLS.
