EXPLANATION OF REQUEST
Tin Tin, LLC (the "Applicant') is proposing the development of three (3) retail buildings totaling approximately
19,850 square feet within the Legacy PUD District on a parcel of real estate that is approximately 2.136 acres. The Real
Estate is located at the southeast corner of 146th Street and Community Drive within the Legacy development and is
identified on the aerial photograph included herein under Tab 2.
The Real Estate is zoned per the "Legacy PUD District" Ordinance No. Z-501-07 and the applications request (i)
development plan and architectural design, lighting, landscaping and signage approval and (ii) a zoning waiver request
pertaining to the front yard setback requirement for only Building A.
Building A is approximately 13,850 square feet, including a mezzanine level of approximately 1,600 square feet,
and this building is located on the north side of the site closest to 1461h Street. Building A is the subject of the one (1)
zoning waiver request to allow it to have a front yard building setback in excess of the 15' requirement prescribed by the
Legacy PUD District standards for commercial buildings. The purpose for requesting the zoning waiver for Building A is
to allow for the building to be placed on the Real Estate in a manner that allows for connectivity between all the buildings
and placement of appropriate parking areas. Building B is approximately 3,000 square feet and is located at the southwest
comer of the site near Community Drive. Building C is also proposed to be 3,000 square feet and is located in the
southeast comer of the site.
The proposed development plan and ADLS request, including site design and building architecture design, are
consistent with the Legacy PUD requirements (other than the one zoning waiver request) and consistent and compatible
with the other buildings that surround the Real Estate. The design of the site focuses on providing pedestrian circulation
to adjacent streets, paths and sidewalks, as well as providing pedestrian circulation within the site and around the
buildings to be constructed on the Real Estate. Bicycle parking is provided for and the mechanical units for the buildings
will be roof mounted and screened from view.
Modifications and enhancements to the proposal after it first appeared before the Plan Commission on January
17'h include the following: (i) modified certain sidewalk and crosswalk connections to avoid conflicts with landscaping
around southwest corner of Building A; (ii) removal of 1 parking space at the southwest corner of Building A to
accommodate a sidewalk, bike parking and a landscape island; (iii) modified the pedestrian crossing in the middle of the
site from Building A to Building C so that it was a straighter path; (iv) added additional bike parking to the west of
Building B, so now all 3 buildings have their own bike parking spaces; (v) confirmation that the size and location of wall
signs will be as permitted by Carmel's Zoning Ordinance and wall signage will be, udividuallyanouated&hannel letters
that will be internally illuminated; (vi) per a request from the Urban Forester, the "tree pits" for the proposed street trees
along Community Drive and Hopewell Parkway were enlarged; (vii) arch elements over windows on Buildings B and C
were added; (viii) a trash enclosure exhibit was added and the enclosure will be enclosed on all sides and will have the
same building materials as the primary buildings; (ix) a pedestrian connectivity exhibit was added; and (x) the lighting
photometric plan was updated.
This matter appeared before the Special Studies Committee on February 7a' and received a unanimous 5-0 positive
recommendation for approval. The requests are fully detailed in this submittal. Included herein, among other exhibits,
are: (i) a colored illustrative site plan; (ii) building elevations, (iii) engineered site plan, (iv) landscape plan; and, (v)
lighting plan and cut sheets of proposed light fixtures.
We look forward to presenting this request to you on February 21, 2017.
Respectfully submitted,
