Is there a plan or schedule to take down these homes? Marty Rosenberg: There's a plan to take down these homes as we aggregate 2-4 homes at a time. We have offered the unoccupied homes to the City of Cannel for Police and Fire training purposes. When they are completed with their training programs,the building will be removed after the permits are acquired to do so. John Adams: What's the plan with the property that has not be acquired? Marty Rosenberg: The property is a rental property at this point. They haven't been responsive to our calls and offers. John Adams: Is your plan then to build around this property? Marty Rosenberg: Correct. Sue: How many properties are currently vacant? Marty Rosenberg: Four properties. One property will be used to stage our construction headquarters. Three are being used by the City for training purposes. One to two houses will become vacated before the holidays. Sue: When do you estimate when all the homes will be vacated? Marty Rosenberg: We offered all the homeowners the opportunity to live in their houses rent free for one year. The last lease would expire in August 2020.Most or all homeowners should be out by then.

Docket No. 19100001 OA: Cl & C2 District Amendments. The applicant seeks to amend the Unified Development Ordinance in order to correct the standards in the Cl & C2 Districts from the conversion to the Unified Development Ordinance. Filed by the Department of Community Services on behalf of the Carmel Plan Commission. Petitioner: Adrienne Keeling,DOCS: • We want to clarify some items that did not get included in the UDO • The permitted uses that are being proposed to be added are day nursery/day care,kindergarten/preschool, school, trade or business,clinic or medical health center,research facility/laboratory,private club or lodge,public plaza, rooftop parks and gardens. These uses were not initially included in the Cl and C2 districts. • The vision of City Center was the start of the Cl district 2 Plan Commission Meeting Minutes 11-19-19 • The technical amendments will include adding standards for landscaping, signage,and yard standards. The ordinance has been silent in the C-1 district on these items. • We are proposing to restore the previous division of sign standards. Previously,the number and location of signs were determined by Cannel Redevelopment Committee(CRC)project standards,and the size and design of signs were determined by the sign ordinance. Public Comments: None Department Report: None Committee Comments: Alan: Can you explain what the new proposed changes will be regarding the signage? Adrienne Keeling: We are proposing to restore the CRC project standards that determine the location and number of signs on a site. The sign classification,size,and designs will follow the sign ordinance. Alan: So the CRC will decide on these factors and not the Plan Commission? Adrienne Keeling: Correct Sue: Does the CRC have a list of rules and regulations for signage?How do they determine what is allowed?Adrienne Keeling: It's based on a project by project basis. Henry Mestetsky,CRC Director: With projects like City Center and the Proscenium,we want the developers to build up all four sides of their buildings, so there's no rear side to them. We don't want to hold them to a standard where you can only place a sign on one side of the building.The other sides of the building will have activity on them and it makes sense for the Cl and C2 districts we would allow some greater flexibility to allow for more signage. This is not a complete control of the signage, since the Plan Commission and Planning Dept. still have control over what type of sign is allowed. Brad: C-1 and C-2 as they are defined,are going to be public,private projects,and are always involved with the CRC. IHenry Mestetsky: No one can bring in a project in Cl,C2 districts without the CRC approving them. Brad: Some of the proposed uses such as public plaza,private club or lodge are not defined in the UDO. Henry Mestetsky: These terms were not made up. These were uses that were already allowed in Urban Core district,but not in Cl,and C2. Brad: I'm not challenging what you should include,but it's important we have well defined terms within the UDO. Also roof top parks and gardens sounds more like an activity or an amenity than a permitted use.
