4. Docket No.PZ-2021-00169 PP: Bedford Falls of Carmel Subdivision.
The applicant seeks primary plat approval for 34 lots on 16.87 acres. The site is located at 947 W 146th St. and is
zoned Bedford Falls PUD(Ordinance Z-667-21). Filed by Scott Schutz of Less Impact Development.
Petitioner: Duane Sharrer,Weihe Engineers, Inc.
• Scott Schutz with Less Impact Development wants to develop a close-knit community
• Extensive perimeter landscaping will be place along 146th Street
• Walking paths will be around the perimeter of this site and connect to the WestChase subdivision and the existing
path along 146th Street
• The PP has been prepared to be in compliance with the UDO and PUD,Ordinance Z-667-21
Public Comments: None
Department Report: Alexia Lopez:
• This PP is in line with the concept plan that was submitted with the PUD.
• Staff has two outstanding comments: We are asking to plant additional trees to the southern property
line/common area. Does the walking path connecting to WestChase Subdivision go all the way to the shared
property line?
• Can the Petitioner update us with any updates from the Hamilton Co. Highway Department review?
• Staff recommends this is continued to the Dec. 7 Residential Committee with them having final voting authority.
Reply to the Department Report: Duane Shaffer:
• We are willing to put up any trees if there's space to do it. We are discouraged to put any trees within 10' of the
walking path.
• I did not receive any comments from the Hamilton Co.Highway Dept. I contacted them to find out what's going
on.They are waiting on results from the traffic impact study.They told us 3 weeks. Our traffic engineer from
A&F engineering,did show with only 34 lots,traffic will not have any negative impact on this area.
• The WestChase path does stop short of our shared property line,but we will have our path connect to their path
Committee Comments:
Kevin: I would like Staff to ask Hamilton Co.Highway Dept.to expedite their process of the traffic impact study.Duane
Shaffer: I was told that the traffic impact study is required because our entrance is off of 146th Street and any connection
to 146th Street(county street)requires a traffic study.Alexia Lopez: I can ask them. I want to make sure the results of the
report won't change the design and layout of the 146th Street entrance at Bedford Falls.Josh Kirsh: I think Jeremy
