Sam Clark – Hamilton County Surveyor’s Office

9:35 a.m. Docket No. 19120008 PUD: 146th and Monon PUD Rezone.
The applicant seeks approval to rezone 1.26 acres to PUD/Planned Unit Development in order to
develop 15 townhomes. The site is located along the south side of 146th St. between the Monon and
Rolling Hill Dr. It is zoned R-1/Residential within the Monon Overlay Natural Section. Filed by Jim
Shinaver of Nelson and Frankenberger on behalf of Estridge Development Management, LLC.
Jon Dobosiewicz with Nelson and Frankenberger, and Randy Sherman with Weaver Sherman presented
the project.
Sam Clark – Hamilton County Surveyor’s Office
- Mr. Clark said he is just waiting on the drainage calculations as well as the comprehensive
development plan.
David Lucas – Hamilton County Highway Department
- Mr. Lucas said although the Highway Department’s preference is to have their thoroughfare plan
right-of-way, it is ultimately Carmel’s decision. He added that if the development continues at the
current 1 to 5 ratio, the development will jump to 500 dwellings in a small subdivision. At that point,
there would need to be a deceleration lane, so the Highway Department wants to make sure there is
enough room to put this in. Also, Mr. Lucas said the site plan shows the detention outletting to the
146th Street Storm sewer, which is not allowed under any circumstances.

- Ms. Lopez asked if the maximum height shown on the PUD is from grade, or from the below grade
portion. Mr. Sherman said the measurement is from the lower portion of the asphalt up to the top of
the parapet. Mr. Dobosiewicz added that on the back end of the site, there will be a retaining wall.
Ms. Lopez said they would like to do whatever is possible to keep this at two stories. Mr. Sherman
said the goal would be to keep the building as low as possible.
