Filed by Allen Weihe of Weihe Engineering for JC Developers, LLC.
The applicant is requesting approval of a Primary Plat to allow the construction of single
family detached homes. Please see the updated informational packet prepared by the
applicant for an overview of this project. This project is proposed to have private, gated
streets, and requires the above listed waivers.
This item was heard at the March 21 st Plan Commission Meeting. At the March 30th
Subdivision Committee it was forwarded back to the Plan Commission with a 4-1
positive recommendation, with the condition that all outstanding issues must be resolved
prior to this meeting.
The outstanding issues and their current status include the following:
1. Update on landscape plan approval: Plan has yet to be approved. The
landscape plan was submitted on April 12th.
a. Plan does not show separation of utility easements and plantings. Plan
should have utility information overlaid so that conflicts can be identified.
b. Plan does not have additional screening along West Road right of way (as
requested to mitigate the waiver).
2. Justification for the requested waivers and information on how the waived
standards will be mitigated: Applicant has made some architectural
commitments (see packet). Staff has proposed some alterations to these
commitments.
3. Petitioner has not addressed Engineering comments made in the Feb. 15th
T AC review letter. Staff has not received full approval from Engineering.
o
o
Staff recommends the following additions and alterations to the proposed commitments
(from the updated packet). Note that all commitments MUST be recorded:
1. Item 5: Windows for All Homes - should be amended to say "All homes in
The Woods shall have windows on all occupiable floors, on each elevation."
2. Item 8: Lots Adjacent to West Road - typical landscape mitigation for views
from the right of way require a higher level of bufferyard planning (from the
bufferyard standards outlined in Chapter 26 of the ZQ). This additional
landscape bufferyard requirement should be reviewed and approved by the
Urban Forrester.
3. Please add the following: The petitioner is responsible for required upgrades
to West Road along the project frontage as identified by the City of Carmel
Thoroughfare and Alternative Transportation Plans. These improvements
must be constructed or funded (for future construction). City Engineering is
responsible in determining these improvements (or cost thereof).
As requested by the Subdivision Committee, the petitioner will present views into the site
from West Road at the meeting.
The Department will make a recommendation at the meeting based upon the
resolution of outstanding issues.

The applicant seeks the following subdivision waiver:
06040002 SW sca Chapter 6.03.20 Request to allow private streets
The site is located at east ofW. 138th Street and West road and is zoned SI
Residential
Filed by Dave Barnes of Weihe Engineering for IC Developers, LLC.
This item should be considered with the entire Woods at Lions Creek .t>etition. This
additional required subdivision waiver was identified at the March 30 Subdivision
Committee meeting. The petitioner has met the State required notification deadline (10
days), but did not meet the Plan Commission requirement of 25 days. This item will
require a suspension of the Plan Commission rules to be heard this evening.
The department recommends making a decision on this item after the next agenda item
has been discussed. This waiver should not be considered by itself, in that it intrinsically
tied to the primary plat request.
The Department will make a recommendation at the meeting based upon the
resolution of outstanding issues with this project.
