'!.. ~~ ~~~S , . , RE: Centex Homes - Midtown Docket No.: 060l008Z Special Studies Committee: May 4, 2006 Matt - As you know, this matter is scheduled to appear on the Special Studies Committee Agenda for its May 4th hearing. In this regard, in anticipation of the March 30th Committee Meeting, we submitted supplemental brochures that included significant revisions to the PUD Ordinance. The discussion at the last Committee Meeting on April 13th was productive and it seemed as if no significant, major issues existed. Consequently, no further revisions have occurred for this proposal. In this regard, please advise the Committee Members to bring the following prior brochures to the Committee Meeting for review of this project: a. February 21 st Plan Commission Brochure b. March 30th Special Studies Committee Brochure Hopefully at the May 4th Committee Meeting, we can discuss any final comments or suggestions to the proposed PUD Ordinance. If no significant issues remain at the conclusion of the May 4th Committee Meeting, we would respectfully ask for a vote of recommendation by the Committee to the full Plan Commission for the Plan Commission's May 16th Meeting. i' <0,.'

No significant changes to the project have occurred as a result of the April 13th Committee Meeting. However, attached to this letter is a revised perimeter landscape plan for the site. Consequently, the prior brochures we have submitted to this matter are still relevant for review. In this regard, please remind the Committee Members to bring the brochures that were submitted for February 21st Plan Commission Meeting and the handouts submitted at the March 7th and March 16th Committee Meetings. Based on the discussions at the prior Committee Meetings, my impression is that we are possibly approaching final review of this submittal. The final issue seems to relate to the elevations of the proposed townhomes. As we have explained in previous meetings, the portion of the site that will contain the townhomes was not part of the rezone request. Consequently, the townhomes are a permitted use. Weare hopeful that we can obtain feedback from the Committee Members and Staff regarding any additional suggestions for these elevations, although no specific standards exist in Carmel's Zoning Ordinance, to my knowledge, that would govern the appearance of such townhomes. In any event, the proposed townhomes are aesthetically pleasing and are designed to be consistent and compatible with the townhomes that have been approved in the immediate proximity. Hopefully, at the May 4th Committee Meeting, we can discuss and resolve any remaining issues relating to the elevations of the townhomes and have the Committee make a vote of recommendation back to the full Plan Commission for the Plan Commission's May 16th hearing. s)CP~NNED -{'"- .. ;" , 1"" I Nelson & Frankenberger April 21, 2006 Page 2 of2 Please distribute a copy of this letter and its attachment to all Committee Members in anticipation of the May 4th Committee Meeting.
