ARDEN TOWNHOMES
SUPPLEMENTAL BROCHURE - EXPLANATION
The following supplemental materials are provided to address questions raised by Plan
Commission members at the first reading for the Arden Townhomes ADLSjDevelopment
Plan on January 17, 2006, as well as questions raised by Committee members at the February
7, 2006 Special Studies Committee meeting. In particular, this brochure includes
information pertaining to the revised site plan, building materials, drainage, landscaping, and
the construction of the Cool Creek trail extension.
The site, approximately 12.72 acres, is located on the north side of Smokey Row Road (136th
Street), to the east of Rangeline Road and bordered by the Carmel High School football
stadium to its east and Cool Creek to its west. The site was rezoned to the Arden Planned
Unit Development District on November 21, 2005. We are now seeking
ADLSjDevelopment Plan approval and Primary Plat approval for the site. As planned, the
project consists of eighty-eight (88) townhomes oriented around landscaped amenity areas.
The site will also have direct connections to the planned Cool Creek trail, a portion of which
will be constructed by the Developer in conjunction with the construction of the Arden
Townhomes.
o
The project was reviewed by the Special Studies Committee at their February 7, 2006
meeting, and Buckingham agreed to the following additional commitments:
o
o
o
D
1. Buckingham will work directly with the Staff regarding the design of the entryway
ponds; and
2. Buckingham agreed that one window shall be located on the fIrst floor side
elevations of the units facing Smokey Row Road on Buildings 1 and 7, and said
windows shall be located on the garage side of the unit.
This project received a unanimous favorable recommendation from the Special Studies
Committee at the February 7, 2006 meeting. This matter will be presented to the full Plan
Commission at its February 21, 2006 meeting for a fInal vote on the ADLSjDevelopment
Plan application.
o
Please bring this brochure as well as the original brochure from the January 17th
meeting to the Plan Commission meeting on February 21, 2006.

Arden T ownhomes
Summary of Site Plan Revisions
The Arden T ownhomes site plan included in this brochure has been revised from
the site plan originally presented to the Plan Commission on January 17th, 2006. The
reason for the revision is due to concerns raised by the Carmel City Engineer's Office and
the Hamilton County Soil Conservation District regarding the proximity of two of the
proposed buildings to the top of the bank and their long-term stability at that location. In
response to this concern, the site has been redesigned so that these buildings are now
located a minimum of 30 feet from the top of the bank.
As a result of this change, the layout for the northern half of the site has changed
slightly. The following summarizes the primary changes:
. 2 units were removed, so there are now 88 units instead of the 90 permitted in the
PUD.
. Additional green space has been added at the northern termination of the entry
boulevard, which also allows us to preserve four additional existing mature trees
including two large Beech trees.
. The two buildings at the northwest portion of the site (Buildings 9 and 10) have
been moved east so that they are now a minimum of 30 feet from the top of the
bank.
. The park at the north portion of the site has been reduced slightly by 15 feet in the
east-west dimension, but elongated by approximately the same dimension in the
north-south direction.
. Buildings 15 and 16 have been flipped to an east-west orientation (formerly they
were oriented north-south).
. The number of parking spaces has been reduced to 429 from 439, however, due to
the reduction in number of units the parking ratio has not changed. This ratio is
still 4.88 spaces per unit.

RE: Arden Townhomes Drainage Design Clarification
Dear Nasuti:
The purpose of this letter is to respond to a question posed by the Carmel Plan Commission
during the First Reading for Arden Townhomes ADLSlDevelopment Plan approval at its meeting
on January 17, 2006. Specifically, a question was posed regarding the design of the proposed
stonnwater detention facility to be located in the floodplain of Cool Creek and how this facility
would function in relation to the flood stages of the creek.
As shown on the development plan on file, the stormwater management system for Arden
includes three detention areas to comply with the drainage requirements of the City. The
development plan indicates that all three detention areas will be "wet ponds.. That is, they will
retain water at a pennanent pool level at all times. However, after discussions with the Hamilton
County Soil and Water Conservation District and the City Engineer's Office during the T AC
review process, and subsequent to further analysis of the soil conditions and flood stages in the
flood plain of Cool Creek, the design of Pond #3 has been revised in the final construction plans
for Arden. In lieu of a wet pond, detention area #3 will be a dry basin designed to temporarily
hold water only during a stonn event. This design revision was made based upon the sandy soil
conditions in the floodplain and the associated expected difficulty that will be encountered in
trying to retain a permanent pool depth.
The proposed dry basin will be connected to the creek via a single outlet pipe. The top of dam
elevation along the south side (creek side) of the .dry basin is established at an elevation of
805.0 with the base flood (100-year) elevation of the creek being 806.0 per current ARM
. mapping. Thus, when the creek flood stage exceeds an elevation of 805.0, expected to occur
during an approximate 50-year stonn event, floodwaters from the creek will enter the dry basin
by overtopping the dam. During other lower frequency storm events, backwater from the creek
may flow into and out of the dry basin through the outlet pipe connecting the basin to the creek.
This design allows temporary detention to be provided for on-site runoff with a controlled
release, while also allowing flood waters to enter and exit the basin via the outlet pipe. This is
very typical of many detention ponds, whether or not located in a floodplain, where the
downstream channel may have flood elevations that are higher than the flood elevations
imparted within the detention basin from its contributing watershed.
The design revision from a wet pond to a dry basin will also significantly reduce the
maintenance requirements for the Home Owner's Association since debris that may flow into

the basin from the creek will not have a detrimental effect on its hydraulics or appearance. The
basin will be planted with native grasses that will not require regular mowing, also reducing the
maintenance burden.
We trust that the information provided herein adequately addressed the concerns raised at the
Plan Commission meeting regarding this Issue. However, should you require any additional
information or wish to discuss the design of the stormwater management system for Arden in
more detail, please do not hesitate to contact our office.
Respectfully Submitted,

Re: Arden Townhomes - Cool Creek Trail Extension Construction Timeline
At the Plan Commission First Reading for the Arden Townhomes ADLS/DP approval on January
17, 2006, a question was posed by the Plan Commission as to the time line for construction of the
Cool Creek Trail extension. The Cool Creek trail extension, which is planned to run along the
eastern and northern boundaries of the Arden Townhomes site, will be constructed by the Developer
in conjunction with the construction of the Arden Townhomes project, if approved.
The construction of the trail extension is anticipated to be completed within 90 days of receipt of all
approvals.
