DEPARTMENT REPORT

: i';':::Jl~iO,ntl; .. ~_"j.
The applicant seeks to rezone 43.6 acres from Sl to PUD for the purpose
of developing a site with single family homes, townhomes, and limited
commercial uses. The site is located at 2555 W 131st Street and is zoned
Sl.
Filed by Charlie Frankenberger for Indiana Land Development Corp.
The applicant is requesting approval of a Planned Unit Development to allow the construction of
single family detached homes and townhomes. This site is located between two sections of the
Village of West Clay PUD. Neither section of the adjacent Village of West Clay properties has
been constructed. As proposed in the exhibits, there will be 130 total units on the site (2.9 units
per acre). Please see the updated informational packet for details.
The public hearing for this item was held at the June 21, 2005, Plan Commission meeting.
Opponents voiced concerns with the potential increase in traffic, the density of the project,
proposed non-residential uses for sub-area "A", street alignments, and structure height and size.
Through the committee meeting process the petitioner has made requested modifications to the
site design, features, and architectural standards. These include reducing the density from 4.2
units per acre to 2.98 units per acre, addition of architectural design requirements, addition of
amenity areas, the relocation of the interior street to better align with property south of W. 126th
Street, and removing all non residential uses. This item was forwarded with a 3-1 vote from the
Special Studies Committee.
Since that time the petitioner has provided an updated PUD Ordinance that proposes some
additional architectural standards. These additional standards will be discussed at the meeting.
The petitioner has committed to the following additional items:
1. A dollar amount to be spent for the improvements to the amenity areas - to be given at
this meeting.
2. Additional buffer plantings along the rear lot lines of lots 54-57. These plantings will be
reviewed and approved by the Urban Forrester.
3. Funding of the required thoroughfare plan improvements to the adjoining portions of
13181 Street and 126th Street. This amount to be determined by Carmel Engineering.
The Department recommends that the Plan Commission forward this item to the City
Council with the above noted conditions.
