Subject: RE: Carmel HS - Finished Floor Elevation Comment
Hello Caleb,
In response to TAC Comment Item 27 and Per John Thomas’ e-mail below; we are forwarding to you the Grading Plans that depict the
proposed finished grades, and an Exhibit depicting the drainage patterns/flow arrows away from the building. The new Plaza area at
the entrance (as well as the existing site) drain at a generous slope south to north and away from the buildings.
This elevation condition is intentional, due to transitions in exterior grade between new and existing buildings.
1. The existing building finished floor elevation (834.65’) is proposed to be matched at the main entrance doors. The exterior
grades near the new doors and the adjacent existing doors, need to be near the FFE/door elevation for Emergency Egress and
ADA compliance.
2. The existing topography of the site slopes from the existing building to the north and to the east, with a drop of 6’ to almost
10’. In order to maintain a reasonable approach to the new building, and to provide relief for storm water runoff overflow in
excessive rain events, the new building Finished Floor Elevation was lowered to 831.98’ (approx. 2’-8” lower than the existing
building).
3. The majority of the new building is at that elevation, where adjacent grades in the “transition” from the existing building to the
new building are lower than the exterior grade.
4. There is adequate positive drainage away from the building and sufficient slope on the adjacent sidewalks to channel the water
away from the buildings.
5. The architectural and structural details accommodate this condition from a waterproofing and earth retention aspect.
Based on this information, the Project is requesting a waiver from the Stormwater Technical Standards Manual.
Please let us know if you need additional documentation.
Best Regards,
Pete M. Rankovich

Hi Pete,
As long as the plans can show spot elevations around the building that demonstrate that there is sufficient fall away from the adjacent
grade elevations, we should be able to support a waiver from the standard. Once we have sufficient information on the plans, we can
let you know that you can submit the waiver request. An email to Caleb Warner in our office with the items you outlined below will
suffice for the request. Please indicate that you are pursuing a waiver for this item in your projectdox comment response as well.

Subject: Carmel HS - Finished Floor Elevation Comment
Hello Alex and John,
The following Comment appeared on the TAC Review;
This condition is intentional, due to transitions in exterior grade between new and existing buildings.
1. The existing building finished floor elevation (834.65’) is proposed to be matched at the main entrance doors. The exterior
grades near the new doors and the adjacent existing doors, need to be near the FFE/door elevation for Egress and ADA
compliance.
2. The existing topography of the site slopes from the existing building to the north and to the east, with a drop of 6’ to almost

3. The majority of the new building is at that elevation, where adjacent grades in the “transition” from the existing building to the
new building are lower than the exterior grade.
4. There is adequate positive drainage away from the building and sufficient slope on the adjacent sidewalks to channel the water
away from the buildings.
5. The architectural and structural details accommodate this condition from a waterproofing and earth retention aspect.
Please let us know if this condition needs a waiver or variance form Engineering or other?

Carmel committee ClKs process to prohibit street parking near CCS campuses 040
BY ANN MARIE SHAMBAUGH ON NOVEMBER 21, 2021 CARMEL COMMUNITY
f
An ordinance allowing residents living within 2,500 feet of a school building to request parking be prohibited on their street during the
r-
school day is heading back to the Carmel City Council with a positive recommendation from the council's Finance, Utilities and Rules FIFr'�
Committee.
The committee voted 3-0 in favor of the ordinance proposed by Councilor Jeff Worrell after a lengthy discussion at its Nov. 18 meeting.
The council is expected to vote on the ordinance on Dec. 6.
The ordinance is largely in response to problems arising because of several changes made by Carmel Clay Schools in August that affect
transportation. A bus driver shortage led to most students living within a mile of school losing bus service, which has led to more
parents driving children to school. Some drivers are choosing to park on neighborhood streets to pick up students rather than go to the
designated pickup area.
Many of the most problematic areas are in the neighborhoods surrounding Carmel High School, where some parents are lining narrow
streets to wait for their children at the end of the school. In addition, some students are parking there for the school day, adding to the
congestion.

11/22/21, 9:44 AM Carmel committee OKs process to prohibit street parking near CCS campuses • Current Publishing
Jeff Swensson, a former superintendent of CCS who lives near the high school, told the council the problem is more than just an
inconvenience.
"The fact that those of us who live on these streets, God forbid, may be in a medical emergency and fire or police help can't come to us
is not a matter of discretion;" Swenson told the committee.
CHS students are supposed to park at the football stadium, which is also the designated pickup spot for those riding with parents. City
Councilor Tony Green, a member of the committee, said he met with several CHS students earlier in the week to discuss the problem
and learned that many students don't want to park at the stadium because of the length of time it takes to reach their car and exit the
lot.
"It's really a time crunch for those kids, where instead if they park somewhat closer to the school, they don't get stuck with a 10-minute
walk to their car as well as 30 minutes waiting to get out of the parking lot;" he said. "Now, they have a better chance of (not being late
for) whatever their commitment is."
Carmel Police Dept. Lt. Brady Myers told the committee that the transportation changes also have led to problems near Clay Middle
School, where parents are picking up children along streets in the midst of other students walking home from school.
"We're having a lot of near misses just west of where I stand at the crossing location, because drivers are trying to get out of that (area)
in an expedited fashion;" Myers said.
Councilor Tim Hannon, who is not on the committee but attended the meeting, said he supports the immediate changes addressed by
the ordinance but would like to see additional changes.
"(The near misses) points to the urgency to come up with at least a temporary fix, but it points out this needs to be looked at over time
from a systematic standpoint;" he said.
The proposed ordinance also restricts parking in the city -owned lot on the southeast corner of 1 st Ave. NE and 1 st St. NE to one hour
between 8 a.m. and 2 p.m. and creates a two-hour parking zone on Main Street east of Range Line Road to CHS to discourage student
parking.
The proposed ordinance sets a fine for the first violation at $25 followed by fines of $100 for subsequent violations. Requests to
designate a street within 2,500 feet of a CCS campus would go through the citys department of engineering and Board of Public Works
for review and approval.
Residents would be permitted to display a sticker provided by CPD to exempt their vehicles from the prohibition, and they can provide
temporary guest parking permits for visitors.
Although not part of the proposed ordinance, the committee also discussed how student parking could impact the Carmel Clay Public
Library, which is across the street from CHS. The library campus is closed for renovations, but when it reopens in 2022, it will include a
new parking garage with more than 400 spaces that CCPL Director Bob Swanay believes will be an attractive spot for CHS students to
park, which would limit availability for those visiting the library.
"A lot of what we're doing in the renovations for the library is geared toward teens," Swanay said. "Teens are welcome to park in the
library parking spots when theyre using the library. Our goal is not to exclude teen drivers, but to exclude those parking spots being
used by teens attending school:'
If not addressed through an ordinance, Swanay said he expects the library to use off -duty police officers in the morning on school days
to intercept students attempting to park in the garage.
Current has reached out to CCS for comment.
Committee approves procedure for removing councilors
The Carmel City Council's Finance, Utilities and Rules Committee unanimously approved an ordinance outlining procedures for
removing a councilor from office. The full council will have the final vote at a future meeting.

Carmel council approves process to curtail parking, student pickup on neighborhood
streets near schools
Qo
BY ANN MARIE SH AMB AUGH ON DECE MBER 7, 2021 CAR MEL CO MM UNITY
The Carmel City Council met Dec. 6 to discuss parking regulations, procedures for removing a councilor from office and several other
matters.
What happened : The council approved an ordinance that allows residents who live on streets within 2,500 feet of Carmel Clay Schools
campuses to request parking be prohibited on the street between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m.
What it means: Councilor Jeff Worrell proposed the ordinance after hearing from several residents who live near schools, especially
Carmel High School, that students parking and parents picking up and dropping off students on neighborhood streets were leading to
congestion and unsafe conditions.
What's next: Residents wanting to restrict parking on their street can initiate the process by contacting the city's engineering
department. The Board of Public Works will vote on all requests .
What happened: The council approved procedures for removing a councilor from office.
What it means : The ordinance states that the council has the authority to expel any of its members for violation of official duty or
declare the seat vacant if a council member is unable to perform the duties of office. It establishes a process that includes the city's
corporation counsel writing a bill of impeachment, a chance for the councilor to respond and a special meeting to review evidence and
vote . Two-thirds of the council must vote for removal for it to occur.
What's next: Councilors do not have plans to use the ordinance but wanted to have it in place.
What happened: The council introduced an ordinance that would prohibit gas stations in the Village of WestClay within 500 feet of
residentially used property.
What it means: The council recently approved a similar ordinance citywide, but the Village of WestClay was not included because it is
part of a planned unit development, meaning it has its own development standards .
What's next: The council's land use committee will discuss the ordinance.
