CARMEL PLAN COMMISSION
SPECIAL STUDIES COMMITTEE
DEPARTMENT REPORT
June 6, 2006
5. Docket No. 06030003 DP AmendlADLS: REI Medical Office Building
The applicant seeks to build a 2-story, 34,OOO-sq ft medical office building on 7.54 acres.
The site is located at 11911 North Pennsylvania St. and is zoned B-6/US 31 Overlay.
Filed by Joseph Scimia for REI Real Estate Services, Inc.
The applicant is requesting approval of a two-story medical office building. The building is
zoned B-6 and is located within the US 31/Meridian Street Overlay District. Please see the
informational packet prepared by the applicant for an overview of this project. The public
hearing for this item was held at the April 18th Plan Commission Hearing. No one spoke in
opposition. At the May 4th Committee meeting new elevations were presented.
The petition was instructed to submit a revised site plan indicating bicycle parking, as well as a
compliant landscape plan. These items have yet to be submitted.
Environmental Planner Comments:
Revised plans were not submitted and this landscape plan does not meet the US 31 Highway
Overlay landscaping requirements. I also did not receive any of the appropriate utility or
drainage easement information I needed, or graphic planting details or the other specifications I
called out. I would also recommend the two species on the plan, "thornless Cockspur hawthorn"
and "Greenspire Linden" (all Tilia cordata species), not be planted, but alternatives chosen for
plant health reasons.
Engineering Comments:
The petitioner has not responded to the March 7, 2006 T AC review comments from the
Department of Engineering and to our knowledge, has not addressed the concerns raised at that
time. Engineering recommends that this project not continue forward in the approval process.
Due to the above unresolved issues, staff recommends that this item be continued to the
June 29th Special Studies Committee Meeting.
