Page 2 of 4 City of Carmel Technical Advisory Committee March 15, 2023 Angie Conn – City of Carmel Planning & Zoning - Comments on ProjectDox. Ms. Conn mentioned they are waiting on one other department to finish their comments and the project will be kicked back to the petitioner. Mr. Reynolds saw some sign and architectural comments. He and Mr. Miller will regroup after studying the comments a little more and will reach out if they have any questions. Mr. Reynolds asked if they needed to continue the drives and parking lots to the multifamily development to the south. Ms. Conn said to make sure to connect the streets and to get with the Fire Department to discuss that with them from a life safety standpoint as the development has gates up. Mr. Reynolds asked about a few other comments regarding landscape and planning together. First about a ten foot build to line and another about a tree line between the on street parking and the sidewalk. Mr. Reynolds said they will be hard to get to if they are trying to mimic what is across the street. It is parking right up to the sidewalk, 20 feet of sidewalk with treewells, and then the building. He would like to talk a little bit more offline about what the TAC members would like to see to meet the ordinance and keep a consistent design throughout the street. Ms. Conn said to look at the standards in the PUD ordinance and for Mr. Reynolds to call have a call with a few of the planners. Mr. Reynolds asked Mr. Jordan if Crossroads reviewed the plans at all. Mr. Jordan confirmed that Crossroads is doing the drainage review which is likely the last department needing to do comments. Mr. Jordan will check the status from Crossroads and will let Mr. Reynolds know if they are delayed. Mr. Reynolds said after they submitted, there were a few other options to get rid of the offsite storm sewer to the west to keep it all contained on their new lot. He will set up a meeting with Mr. Jordan to discuss it. Mr. Miller said there was a red flag with the store front. The large hanging display windows, due to being a hardware store, they are having a challenge being able to add the maximum not to exceed 75% due to storage capacity. They are trying to incorporate as much windows as they could but do not know how to accommodate large display windows. Ms. Conn said they will look at the PUD standards to see if it was a building guideline or a PUD standard. They will talk further.
