The property is currently zoned R2 and the petitioners desire to rezone the Real Estate to a plan Unit Development District to be known as the "Village Green Townhomes" which will consist of approximately forty eight (48) townhome Units. In the original February 21 st Plan Commission Brochures, the petitioners included aerial photographs of the Real Estate, a Site Plan, a Landscape Plan, and Building Elevations, as well as other information and documentation. As a result of discussions at the February 21 st Plan Commission Meeting and March 7th Special Studies Committee Meeting, further revisions to the project to the project have occurred. In addition, the petitioners are currently working with the Department of Community Services regarding the rear elevations of the homes that face the Monon Trail. The following information reflects changes to the project or additional information in order to explain the request: Exhibit 2 - Revised Color Site Plan - The original proposal included fifty (50) total townhome Units and the revised total includes forty eight (48) townhome Units. Exhibit 3 - Revised Black and White Site Plan with landscaping - This Site Plan depicts the location of the townhome Units in conjunction with the associated perimeter and interior landscaping. Exhibit 4 - Interior Pictures of Townhomes - This is a photograph of the interior layout of a typical Drees Premier Townhome Unit. Exhibit 5 - Letter from Jud Scott - Jud Scott, a Registered Arborist, of Vine and Branch, Inc., was part of this Development team prior to filing the zoning applications. Jud's company is well known and well respected in the City of Carmel. Jud has reviewed and analyzed the site and previously submitted a Woodland Analysis report for this project. The letter behind Tab 6 sets forth additional thoughts from Jud regarding the benefits of this project. Exhibit 7 - Aerial DhotograDh depicting site and existing tree cover - This is a photograph from the Woodland Analysis prepared by Jud Scott, a Registered Arborist with Vine and Branch, Inc. This aerial photograph depicts the amount of existing tree cover on the western portion of the site. Per the proposed Primary Plat and PUD Ordinance, the petitioners would be creating a Tree Conservation Area on the western portion of the site as it relates to the existing trees on that portion of the property. We look forward to appearing before the Special Studies Committee on March 30th to further review this project.

RESULTS THAT ARE EXPECTED BY OUR CUSTOMERS. A COMMIl'MENT TO THESE STANOAAOS WILL DEMONSTRATE THE QUAUlY THAT IS REPRESENTED BY THE DREES COMP/wY, THIS CAN BE ACHIEVED BY CONFORMING TO THE FOLLOWING REQUIREMENTS: LAWN MAINTENANCE: GRASS CUTTING: THE GRASS SHOULD BE CUT APPROXIMATELY EVERY 5-10 DAYS (AVEAAGE OF 28 MOWS PER SEASON) DURING THE MONING SE.l>.SON TO MAINTAIN A UNIFORM HEIGHT OF 3-4 INCHES. THE GRASS IS NOT TO BE MOWED DURING WET CONDIllONS, 'vVHICH CAN CAUSE MUD TRACKS, Atf111NG, CLUMPING OF GRASS, ETC. All BlADES MUST BE KEPT SHARP TO AVOID DAMAGING THE GR.6SS AND MAKING IT MORE SUSCEPl1BLE TO DISEASE. IN ORDER TO HAVE OUR COMMUNI11ES IN TOP CONr:mON FOR OUR HEAVIEST TRAFFIC VOLUME ON T1-E WEEKENDS, Tl-UASDAY OR FRIDAY MOWING IS REOUlRED. WEATHER PERMlTTlNG. BEFORE fJNY MQ\N1NG IS STARTED THE GROUNDS MUST BE POliCED FOR TRASH REMOVAL. TRIMMING: CURBING, FENCES, POLES OR ANY SUCH OBSTACLES ARE TO BE TRIMMED AROUND AT EACH GRASS CUTTlNG. CUf'PINGS: ~ BE LEFT ON WAF PROVIDED THEY DO NOT COVER THE nJRF OR FORM CLUMPS OF GRASS ON TOP OF THE TURF. ALL GRASS CLIPPINGS ARE TO BE REMOVED FROM ALL CONCRETE SURFACES SUCH AS SIDEWALKS AND MULCHED AREAS. CUPPINGS SHOULD NOT BE BLOWN ON SIGNS DR ANY STRUCruRES, IF THE MONER IS DlSCl-lARGING GRASS AND NOT MUlCHING THEN THE DISCHAAGE CHUTE IS TO BE POINTED AWAY FROM MUlCHED AREAS AND ANY STRLClURE5. EDGING: COMPlETE EDGING Of ALL SIDEWALKS AND coNCRETElPAVED AREAS IS PREFERRED TO BE DONE ON A Bl-WEEKLY BASIS DURING THE MOWING SEASON. HOWEVER, 1rlREE EDGINGS PER SEASON IS REQUIRED. THIS SHOULD BE DONE PRIOR TO THE FOLLOVVlNG HOUDAYS: MEMORIAL DAY, JULY FOURTH, LABOR DAY. THIS lYPE OF EDGING IS TO BE DONE USING AN EDGER THAT IS SPEClACALL Y DESIGNED TO DO SO. 00 NOT EDGE \^11TH A WEED-EATER IN THE TRIMMING POSIl1ON WITH THE BLADE RUNNING HORIZONTAL TO THE GROUND. EDGING IN THIS MANNER WILL DAMAGE AND KILL THE GRASS. All DEBRIS F=AOM EDGING ARE TO BE SWEPT UP AND DISPOSED OF PROPER.Y AND NOT S'NEPf OR BLOVVN INTO THE NEWLY EDGED AREA. USING THE TOOL PROPERLY AND DEBRIS REMOVAL IS WHAT MAKES THE EDGING LOOK CRISP AND CLEAN. THE MAXIMUM EOOE\^IIDTH SH.6J..L BE NO GREATER THAN W. LANDSCAPE MAINTENANCE: TREE N€J SHFUB TRIMMING: ALL DECIDUOUS AND EVERGREEN SHRUBS ARE TO BE PRUNED AND SHAPED iWO TIMES (JUNEIOCTOBER) DURING EACH GROWING SE4S0N.

I have a commitment to attend the Board of Directors meeting for the American Society of Consulting Arborists (ASCA) in Rockville Maryland. In lieu of my testimony before the Commission 1 would like to offer some explanation as to services which my company is performing for the developers of the Village Green site. We were originally retained to perform a Woodland Analysis of the property by Mr. Bruce Sklare of Bay Development Corporation in November of 2005. At the very first contact Mr. Sklare informed me that he thought "I would be interested in this project because it would entail preserving a large section of woodlands". Since our initial contact we have spent numerous hours analyzing the trees on the site. We are currently analyzing many of the mature trees because we have advised the development team for Drees Homes that some of them are structurally unsound and in fact present a potential for hazard to future homeowners and to the general public along both the Monon and Smokey Row Road. We also have a contract with Drees Homes to perform tree preservation measures (before, during and after construction) that will protect the over four acres of woodlands that are to be left in tact. This tree preservation will be an on going process and will result in the retention of a large tract of trees that lies on the western section of the property adjacent to Cool Creek and partially along Smokey Row Road. We have also discussed with Mr. Pete Hils, Division President and Mr. John Talbot, Land Acquisition Manager for Drees Homes, the possibility of making the whole project a Designated Wildlife Habitat with the National Wildlife Federation. We are currently assessing this program and are excited that Drees Homes is 4721 E. 146111 Street . Carmel, Indiana 46033 . Phone: 317-846-1935. Fax: 317-846-3788 Treeconsultant@aol.com . www.vineandbranch.net D D D D D D D D D D D ~ U D D D D D D D encouraging this direction. We have made contact with the Indiana Wildlife Federation and are looking into opportunities. I hope that you will forgive my absence from this meeting and understand that my opinion is that the intentions of the Developer are in keeping with tree preservation, Best Management Practices that Vine & Branch has used to win six national awards for Tree Preservation during Construction. Drees Homes intentions are also backed up by their signed commitment to my company to perform these tree preservation procedures. Finally I have worked with both Bay Development and Drees Homes on other sensitive sites such as Village Green and have found that both companies fulfilled their commitments to tree preservation before, during and after development. I am available via phone, fax or email until mid day on March 27th and via email from the 28th on, should any of you have any further questions. J:~ Judson R.
