Filed by E. Davis Coots of Coots Henke & Wheeler for DePauw University &
Earlham College.
Dave Coots, attorney with Coots Henke & Wheeler, 255 East Carmel Drive, appeared before the
Commission representing the petitioner. This Docket was tabled at the petitioner's request to
allow this tract to become a part of the traffic plan when US 31 is built, based upon the INDOT /
Parsons, Brinckerhoff Transportation Study.
The CMC tract that will come before the Commission next month under ADLS review is the 9.42
acre corner piece, rezoned by the Council.
The Committee requested certain commitments in regard to the rezone. Those conditions were
that additional right-of-way along 1310t Street would be dedicated and that the entry way for the
tract (until Meridian Comers Boulevard is extended-or Illinois Street extended to its northern
boundary at 136th Street) will be configured so as to deter traffic through "The Parks"
Subdivision. DePauw has committed to preserve this tract for six years. The Commitments are in
recordable form and a copy of the executed document is on file with the Department. The other
condition requested by the Committee is additional dedication of 15 feet of right-of-way along the
DePauw section of Meridian Comers Boulevard. The petitioner is currently scheduled for Board
of Public Works and a copy of the dedication has been forwarded to DePauw for exeuction, but
not yet received.
The petitioner is requesting that the property be rezoned to B-5 classification. The property will
be "banked" in the B-5 classification until such time as either a road is built upon the property or
it is determined that the property is not needed for roadway improvements. The property could
then be developed under the B-5 classification.
The petitioner is asking to go forward to City Council with a favorable recommendation with the
conditions of the Committee intact on additional right-of-way dedication and the reservation of
the real estate.
Paul Spranger gave the report of the Special Study Committee. The committee did approve this
item subject to all conditions being met before full Plan Commission approval.
Jon Dobosiewicz said the Department is comfortable with forwarding this item on to the City
Council. The different zoning on the CMC property ofR-2 has different requirements and
setbacks and some difficulties have been created. At this time, all issues are in line for the Council
to act upon when it is forwarded to them.
Leo Dierckman expressed some reservation about the rezone because the property is contiguous
to a significant amount of residential property to the northwest. It is not known at this time what
plans are for development on this property.

Dave Cremeans moved to forward Docket No. 188-00 Z, DePauw Rezone to the City Council
with a favorable recommendation, seconded by Ron Houck. There was confusion on the actual
count of the vote, and the motion was abandoned.
Ron Houck asked for additional discussion.
Jon Dobosiewicz reported that the Department is in favor of the request. At this time, DePauw is
in a position where they are not comfortable in committing on the CHC land parcel B-5 zoning.
Right now, we are at a standstill with the CMC tract with the Subdivision as well as the
DP/ ADLS.
John Molitor commented as follows: In this particular case, the land owner is willing to work with
the City and let the land sit vacant for six years in case the State wants to take it. In exchange, the
City will agree to give it the zoning that the Comprehensive Plan suggests it should have. This
also may help in respect to the acquisition of the ground from INDOT when that time comes.
Ron Houck moved to send Docket No. 188-00 Z, DePauw Rezone, to the City Council with a
favorable recommendation, with commitments from the petitioner as expressed. Dave
Cremeans seconded the motion; the motion was APPROVED 11 in favor one opposed (Leo
Dierckman).

Petitioner seeks Architectural Design, Lighting, Landscaping & Signage approval

Carmel Drive and Pennsylvania Street. The site is zoned OM/M (Old
Meridian/Meijer District). The petitioner also seeks approval of the following
Zoning Waiver:
39-01a ZW Z-3525.7B.l(a) < 25' minimum building height
Filed by Paul G. Reis of The Reis Law Firm for Meijer, Inc.
Paul Reis, attorney, 12358 Hancock Street, appeared before the Commission representing the
petitioner. Lynn Richardson with Meijer and Bob Olson, CSO Architects, were also present.
The petitioner has proposed a 2400 square foot convenience store with outside gasoline sales to
be located on the south side of the existing Meijer's site near the entrance off Carmel Drive. In
addition to the approval of the ADLS, the petitioner is requesting a waiver from the height
requirement to reduce the height of the store from 25 feet as required under the Old Meridian
District to 18 feet.
The petitioner has met with the Special Study Committee three times in regard to the changes. In
keeping with the Old Meridian District, a location was needed that was complimentary not only to
the Old Meridian District but also to the US 31 corridor. Initially, the location was in the
