Charlie Frankenberger for MHE Development Co. LLC.
Present for Petitioner: Charlie Frankenberger, attorney, Nelson & Frankenberger. Also present: Bob Ellis on behalf MHE Development.
Public Remonstrance/Unfavorable:
Kevin Denois, 1837 Braeburn Drive, Carmel was concerned with construction of the road—location, configuration, and preservation of the existing tree line, and buffer being provided.
Mr. Denois stated inconsistency with the application of the City Comprehensive Plan. Mr. DeNois referred to a letter dated July 17, 2006 addressed to the Department and will provide
a copy for the Commission.
Doug Bahney, eastern-most lot that borders the proposed development—has no issue with the proposed development as far as lot size, type of homes, etc., but does have an issue with Meeting
House Road and the safety factor because it is in residential back yards, effect on the mature tree line, and impact on housing values. Consider re-locating the road to the south side
of the development—that would alleviate concerns expressed. Ditch Road could still be matched-up.
Rick Reard, High Grove Subdivision, objected to the location of the road.
Disposition: Referred to Subdivision Committee August 1, 2006. Note: Petitioner is to bring drawings of the road and the homes, any commitments on homes proposed, and the landscaping
on the lots. Petitioner is to also bring detail of what trees would be cleared, what would be added, and the placement.
4H. Docket No. 06060004 Z: 122nd & Pennsylvania Rezone The applicant seeks to rezone 27.41 acres from R1 and M3 to B3 to allow for medium-density commercial office development. The
site is located on the northeast corner of 122nd Street and Pennsylvania Street. Filed by Paul Reis of Bose McKinney & Evans LLP for Panattoni Development.
Present for Petitioner: Paul Reis, attorney, Bose McKinney & Evans, 600 East 96th Street. Also present Nathan McClure, Panattoni Development, and Steve Granner with Bose McKinney.
No Public Remonstrance
Disposition: Referred to Special Studies Committee August 1, 2006
5H. Docket No. 06060006 PP Replat: Little Farm Subdivision Lot P16 The applicant seeks to divide one parcel into two parcels, to allow for the construction of two, two-family dwellings.
A variance has been granted to allow for reduced lot size. The site is located at 10506 Combs Avenue and is zoned R3 within the Home Place Overlay. Filed by Shahpor Shahbahrami.
Present for Petitioner: Shahpor Shahbahrami, 8565 North Central Avenue, Indianapolis.
Public Remonstrance/Unfavorable
James Richards, 1140 East 105th Street. To Mr. Richard’s knowledge and belief, there is a natural drain flowing beneath the parcel intended for development; during heavy rains, water
flows across the lot and any structure would bank the water into 4 or 5 existing homes in this area.
Judith Steiner, 1141 East 105th Street, 41 year resident. Existing structure on the property was built as an income property for an elderly person. Since then, there have been a number
of renters; currently there are as many as five persons occupying the home and three dogs, one of which is a pit bull. The lot size cannot accommodate two more homes—drainage is also
a problem.
Disposition: Referred to Subdivision Committee on August 1, 2006.
Mark Rattermann made formal motion to empower the Subdivision Committee to vote final approval of Docket no. 06060006 PP Replat, Little Farm Subdivision Lot P16, seconded by Susan Westermeier,
Approved 6-0.
Note: Petitioner is to bring to Committee a photograph of the existing home as it is today on the lot.
