RE: REI Medical Omce Building
Dear Mr. Doster:
We have reviewed the construction plans submitted to the Hamilton County Surveyor's
Office on June 7, 2006 for this project and have the folJowing comments:
1. The proposed project falls in the incorporated area and MS4 jurisdiction of the
City of Carmel.
2. The proposed project DOES NOT fall in a Carmel Wellhead Protection Zone.
3. Th,e proposed project falls in the W.R. Fertig Regulated Drain Watershed. This
watershed has an allowable release rate of 0.25 cfs per acre.
4. Please submit an outlet (indirect) pennit to the W.R. Fertig Regulated Drain. The
application is available on our website at http://www.co.hamilton.in.us. go to
Departments, Surveyor, and Fonns.
S. Please provide additional proof that the existing detention pond is sized large
enough to accommodate the additional nmofffrom the development of this site.
The HCSO has dealt with drainage complains from the next detention pond
downstream from this site and ifth:is additional runoff is not accOlmted for. then
the problems downstream will only be made worse. A copy of the original and
modified drainage calculations, since this pond was reshaped between 2001 and
2003 with the development of the parcels south of this project. would help to
resolve the detention volume question.

Subject: REI Medical Office Building - 11911 N. Pennsylvania - Landscape Comments
Gentlemen,
I received a call from Scott Brewer, Carmel's Urban Forester, regarding the Landscape Plan
for the REI Medical Office Building. He had the following comments:
1. Scott recommended that the plantings provided for this new structure be dispersed over the
entire site. He is looking to balance the overall site with the new plantings rather than have the
new building be strikingly different in its landscaping treatment. He said that approximately 2/3
of the Pennsylvania Street frontage plantings should remain on that frontage with the
remaining 1/3 being moved to other areas of the site around the existing building. The
plantings on the other sides of the new structure should be thinned by relocating some of those
plantings to the portion of the site that includes the existing building.
2. Scott does not recommend using the TC Tilia Cordata "Greenspire." He suggested
selecting a Tomantosa (sp?) or another shade tree from the City of Carmel's landscaping list.
3. Scott does not recommend using the Cl Crataegus Crusgalli. He suggested selecting a
different ornamental tree from the City of Carmel's landscaping list.
Please revised the landscape plan accordingly as soon as possible. The project is to go
before the Special Studies Committee next Tuesday evening, June 6th, and we need to have
the landscaping resolved by that time. Thanks.
