Dear Mike:
This letter serves to inform you of several issues that were discussed In a meeting with the Lauth
Property Group, A&F Engineering and the Highway Department concerning the above-mentioned
plans. A plan dated 5/2102 was received by the Highway Department on 5/16/02. The Highway
Department agrees conceptually with the plan for planning and general zoning considerations,
however there are several issues that needed further investigation before any final construction or
platllng approvals are granted by the Hamilton County Highway Department. The Issues are
listed below.
1. A Traffic Study to be performed by A&F Engineering for this area in needed. The Study will
needs to show that a 2012 Level of Service "C" and a 2022 Level of Service "D" can be
achieved from the ramps through the 1461h Street intersection. The traffIC volumes shall be
estimated assuming the ramps are Installed.
2. Minimum Right of Way along 146th Street shall be granted in accordance with the Hamilton
County Thoroughfare Plan. From the Intersection of Western Way and 1461h Street to point
500' to the east and 500' to the west, the right of way is an 85' half. From that point to the
eastern and western property line, the right of way is a 75' half.
3. The right of way dimensions for the Interior street are representative only. The exact width for
this right of way will be determined by the Highway Department after a more detailed plan for
the site and roadway engineering is completed. This may lead to adjustments in the building
locations after the final determinations for right of way are completed.
If you have any questions or comments concemlng this letter, please feel free to contact me at
anytime.

Indianapolis, IN 46240
RE:
Dear Paul:
I have received and reviewed the Tree Preservation and Reforestation plan submitted
along with the interim draft of the attached PUD Ordinance and your letter of April 22,
2002.
In that letter, a statement is made in the second paragraph, "Lauth estimates the
development of this project will require the removal of approximately 7,244 inches of
trees on the site." That is an enormous miscalculation.
The revised site plan states of the 63.51 acres of this site, 27.29 acres are being excepted
from consideration for the reforestation plan. Of the remaining 36.22 acres, 3.3 acres
were inventoried by Vine & Branch, Inc., and found to contain 585 trees and 244 shrubs
totaling 4,540 inches of plant stem diameter to be preserved. Using those figures, the 36
plus acres would represent at least 5,850 trees and 2,440 shrubs totaling 45,400 inches of
plant stem diameter. That equates to 18,160 two and one half inch diameter landscape
trees.
The 7,244 inches of plant stem diameter represents the reforestation mitigation amount
proposed by Vine & Branch, Inc. They have based this amount on figures I have
provided them from the minimum site restocking recommendations (200 inches
diameter/acre) from the State of Maryland's Forest Conservation Manuel (1991). This
minimal reforestation amount represents trees planted in a hospitable environment (and
protected from development and construction damage) that will grow over fifteen to
twenty years to replace the removed trees and their value in services being lost to the City
of Carmel.
Preservation of existing trees in a fifty foot buffer strip required by ordinance along the
west and south perimeters has been allowed to count for 4540 inches (or 65%) of that
ONE CIVIC SQUARE CARMEL, INDIANA 46032 317/571-2417
o
u
mitigation amount. All recommended preservation procedures must be followed to
protect these trees.
The plan commits that the remaining 2704 inches of plant stem diameter will be planted
on the site as trees and shrubs required by the PUD Ordinance. It is essential that this
plant material, especially the large growing shade trees, be planted in areas that allow
enough soil volume to allow them to mature. In parking lots, surrounding buildings, and
possibly in streetscape areas, this may require connected soil volumes (trenches, vaults,
or constructed soil volumes) for root growth. These soil volumes should be based on
engineered graphic standards, and can be addressed in the ADLS review. This mitigation
plan is acceptable if the commitment to supply the soil volumes required for healthy
growth of these trees is made.
On page 1 of the Clay Terrace Tree Preservation and Reforestation plan provided by Vine
and Branch, Inc., item C of the TREE AND SHRUB COUNT lists 150 trees and 1,100
shrubs required along Highway US 31 and 146th Street. According to requirements found
in the PUD draft Section 7.3 (B), the approximately 3600 foot perimeter of those two
roadways would require 180 shade trees, 108 ornamental trees, and 540 shrubs. Please
change the amounts required.
Please reply to these comments in writing. If you have any questions or comments,
please contact me by phone at 317-571-2478 or by email atSbrewer@ci.carmel.in.us.

RE: Rezone Application Docket No. 127-01 Z
Lauth Property Group - Southwest Corner of U.S. 31 and 146th Street
Our File Number: 2062/1
Dear Scott:
This letter will confirm Lauth Property Group's commitments concerning tree preservation
and reforestation on the proposed site of the Clay Terrace project located at the southwest corner of
V.S. 31 and 146th Street in Carmel, Indiana.
Lauth Property Group ("Lauth") has previously submitted to you a revised site plan, Planned
Unit Development Ordinance and Tree Preservation Planning report for Clay Terrace that indicate the
areas of trees that will be preserved and areas of new plantings for trees and shrubs. I am enclosing
with this correspondence a revised reforestation area map based upon the revised site plan. Based on
those documents, Lauth estimates the development of the project will require the removal of
approximately 7,244 inches of trees on the site. In response to your recommendation and request,
Lauth will commit to the preservation of existing trees and shrubs and the planting of new trees and
shrubs on the site in for a total of 7,244 inches of total plant material.
I am enclosing a definitive statement concerning the tree preservation and reforestation of the
site based upon the revised Site Plan prepared by RTKL Associates, Inc. dated March 18,2002, Site
Area Calculations prepared by Simmons & Associates, Inc. last revised April 17, 2002, the Plan Unit
Development District Ordinance draft dated April 4, 2002, and the Tree Preservation Report prepared
by Vine & Branch, Inc. dated March 18, 2002. As set forth in the statement, the Developer will
commit that the additional trees to be added in the streetscapes and foundation plantings or saved in
the U.S. 31 greenbelt together with the shrubs to be added in the streetscapes and foundation
plantings (and shown in the landscape plan to be approved by the Plan Commission) will exceed the
deficiency of 304 inches.
I have enclosed the revised Site Plan prepared by RTKL Associates, Inc. dated March 18,
2002, Site Area Calculations prepared by Simmons & Associates, Inc. last revised April 17, 2002, the
Plan Unit Development District Ordinance draft dated April 4, 2002, and the Tree Preservation

Carmel, IN 46033
RE: Lauth Property Meeting Memo
Dear Judson:
I received your FAX MEMO Friday, detailing your notes from the meeting held Tuesday,
January 29,2002.
There are two points of clarification that I would bring up:
1. Your statement in bold that says, "A commitment by the developer for Tree
Preservation Planning of the inventoried trees 'would weight in as to the
acceptance of the inventory figures" is somewhat unclear. My position is that if
the mature trees in the required 50-foot buffer are to be preserved and counted as
a "reforestation credit," then a tree preservation plan must be in place for those
trees. This plan should include Best Management Practices for preserving
matures trees during construction, and individual specifications for this site, to
insure their protection from injury and decline. This is required for all tree
preservation projects. This requirement does not necessarily guarantee
acceptance of specific amounts of inventory credits.
2. In "Other comments," you have stated that I would prefer "Trees with a large
growth potential in Islands - not parking lot areas. Ornamentals could be in the
smaller planting areas in the parking areas." This may have been a mistake in
your notes. Jon Dobosiewicz (DOCS Planner) and I have both asked for large
maturing shade trees in parking lot islands. especiallv in the very large connected
planting strips parallel (east-west) to the entry drives on the western side of the
development. These very large planting strips within the parking areas have
larger soil volumes that allow for increased root growth, and hence larger mature
size for shade trees (vs. smaller ornamental varieties). The other parking lot
islands should also be planted with shade trees. Shade trees are essential in
proper parking lot design to help mitigate "urban heat island effects" by lowering
temperatures, and by intercepting rainfall and mitigating increased stormwater
flow from the addition of so much increased hard surface run-off.

Discussion.of Reforestation Demands
Question: Can we Inventory the mature trees on the west and south and include~
part of the reforestation? Yes " '.
Scott agreed to count trees 1 If DBH for 1 If of reforestation for the west and south
border. We must drop out the 3 aaes of credit so as to not "double dip".
-7
Inventory should determine
. Species, Size COSH), Health
. 4 inches or greater can be included
. Make proposal for smaller if groups of value
· Heritage trees may have extra aedit
· May accept a proposal for non-invasive shrubs if worthy- possibly
3 for 1
. Inventory does not need to be a "tagged" inventory but should be
presented on a spread sheet format The "tree preservation" perimeters
should be staked so that the area to be preserved (and therefore
inventoried) can be determined.
A commibnent by the developer for Tree Preservation Planning of the
Inventoried trees "would weight in as to the acceptance of the Inventory
figures. "
Other comments
Scott noted that he would prefer:
Trees with a large potential of growth In Islands - not parking lot areas. Ornamentals
-.> could be in the smaller planting areas in the parking areas.
Scott also agreed that he would count 3 for 1 for shrubs in the landscape plan toward
the reforestation plan.
I certify that all the statements of fact in this appraisal are true, complete and correct to
~ my knowledge and belief, and that they are made in good faith.

RE: Rezone Application, Docket No. 127-01 Z
Lauth Property Group - Southwest Corner of U.S. 31 and 146th Street
Dear Jon:
I have enclosed eighteen (18) copies of the informational booklets for the Rezone Application
we filed on behalf of Lauth Property Group for the Southwest corner of U.S. 31 and 146th Street.
Please distribute these to the members of the Plan Commission in preparation for their December 18,
2001 meeting.
Please note that the Site Plan has been changed slightly to: (1) align the southernmost
entrance to the development east of Range Line Road with the existing entrance to the Walter's Plaza
subdivision; and, (2) add landscaping and pathways in the area reserved for possible future
development of U.S. 31.
Thank you very much for your cooperation and assistance in this matter. If you have any
additional questions regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Very truly yours,

Dear Jon:
Please find enclosed the information you requested in your letter dated November 6, 2001
regarding the rezone application filed on behalf of the Lauth Property Group for the southwest comer
of U.S. 31 and 146th Street. The following are responses to your comments:
1. Two 8 Y2" X 11" copies of the property exhibit are enclosed.
2. Two sets of sample photographs of the type of proposed buildings are enclosed. The PUD
Ordinance has been revised to include additional architectural design requirements.
3. The proposed setbacks are identified in the PUD Ordinance.
4. The comments in Scott Brewer's letter dated November 6, 2001 concerning landscape areas
and plantings have been addressed.
a. Landscaped areas have been identified along 146th Street and Range Line Road.
b. Landscaping has been provided along the perimeter of the parking areas.
c. A landscape screen and fence has been provided along the western and southern
boundaries of the property.
d. We have added a 15% overall landscape requirement to the PUD Ordinance.
5. Parking Requirements:
a. Parking setback requirements have been added to the PUD Ordinance.
b. Loading requirements can be found in Section 10.2 of the PUD Ordinance.
c. The parking requirements have revised to include additional parking ratios for the
non-retail uses. The parking ratio for the retail uses is proposed to be 1 parking space
for every 250 square feet of gross floor area. This ratio is an average of the ratios
found in the Carmel/Clay Zoning Ordinance for various retail uses. This 1 to 250-
square foot ratio also prevents a "sea of asphalt" from being required.

6. Proposed locations of the Center Identification Signs have been added to the site plan. The
current Sign Ordinance referenced in the PUD requires the Center Identification Signs to
have a consistent design.
7. The PUD Ordinance has been revised to require the Plan Commission to approve the
Preliminary Development Plan and DOCS to approve the Final Development Plan.
8. The revision to the Ordinance and the letter from Hamilton County dated November 13,2001
address this issue.
9. Steve Fehribach is working with John Myers to address any issues with the Traffic Impact
Analysis.
We will prepare and have delivered to your office by December 7, 2001 twenty (20)
information packets for distribution to the Plan Commission members. Weare prepared to present
this project to the Plan Commission at their December 18, 2001 meeting.
To the extent that you have any questions or if I can be of any further assistance to you,
please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you very much for your cooperation and assistance in this

Re: Rangeline Road Extension from U.S. 31 to 146th Street
Dear Mr. Dobosiewicz:
This correspondence is to advise you that the Hamilton County Highway Department and the
Hamilton County Attorney have been working with Lauth Property Group concerning the
development of certain real estate located at the southwest comer of 146th Street and U.S. 31.
This project will include the extension of Rangeline Road from U.S. 31 on the south to 146th
Street on the north. This real estate is located within the tax incremental financing district
specifically established to facilitate the construction of roadway improvements for the 146th
Street and U.S. 31 area, including this proposed section of Rangeline Road.
Hamilton County is prepared to issue tax increment bonds to construct the Rangeline Road
extension upon the satisfaction of certain conditions, including: (1) the approval of the rezoning
ofthe site to permit development appropriate for the repayment of the financing and construction
costs for the road improvements; (2) the execution of an acceptable taxpayer agreement by the
landowner concerning payment of taxpayer payments to guarantee payments on the bonds issued
to construct the public improvements; (3) approval of final road design and construction plans;
(4) right-of-way acquisition (if necessary); and (5) the approval of the overall project and of any
and all necessary documents and agreements for the project by this body.
Should you have any questions or require any additional information, please contact the
Hamilton County Attorney, Michael Howard.

Dear Mr. Rydell:
In compliance with your request, please find the results of the Wetland Reconnaissance
conducted on the above referenced Site~
The Site is located on the northwest side of Cannel, Indiana. Specifically, the Site is
located on the southwest comer of l46th Street and US 31. The Site may be located (as shown in
Figure 1) using the Cannel, Indiana 7-112 minute quadrangle map in the northeast quarter of
Section 24, Township 18 North, Range 3 East.
The 70 acre Site was investigated for 3 wetland criteria to determine if an area is classified
as a wetland. All three criteria must be present for an area to be a regulated wetland under normal
circumstances. These three 3 criteJ' I'lr~ as followed:
1. The area must have hydric soil. A hydric soil is defined as a soil that
is saturated, flooded or ponded long enough during the growing
season to develop anaerobic conditions in the near surface zone.
2. . The area must have a predominance of hydrophytic or wetland
. vegetation (e.g., sedges, cattails, reed-canary grass, water tolerant
trees and shrubs) or be capable of supporting this vegetation.
3. The area must have evidence of wetland hydrology. Wetland
hydrology is defined as periodical inundation or saturation of soils to
the surface at some time during the growing season. Drainage
patterns, drift lines, and watermarks are examples of hydrological
indicators used if soils are not saturated or inundated at the time of
inspection.

RE: Review ofPUD and Landscape Plan for Metro Acquisitions, LLC, 146th & U.S. 31
Dear Paul:
This review of the PUD Ordinance and attached Development Plan includes comments
made in the T AC meeting of October 17, 2001.
1. This change in use from a heavily wooded, residentially zoned site to a commercial
development will effectively eliminate the benefits of the woodlands currently found
on the site. The woodlands and natural resources on site must be evaluated by an
arborist, landscape architect, horticulturist, or other qualified professional and a
written report and site plan of existing vegetation must be submitted for review.
2. A tree preservation plan and/or reforestation plan must submitted. Reforestation
projects can be accomplished on site if there is adequate space. Such projects can
also be provided at off-site locations in Clay Township. A landscape plan for the
development site should be submitted as well.
3. The landscaping requirements for in Section 7 of the PUD Ordinance are not
adequate. Landscaping requirements need to be at least equal to those found in the
U.S. 31 Highway Overlay Ordinance. Sizes and planting requirements for all
planting areas'need to be established in the PUD. These include dimensions, plus
number and type of plants, for all greenbelts, planting strips, parking areas, buffering
areas, landscape easements, and preservation areas. Perimeter buffer requirements
shall be at least equal to those \found in Appendix A of the Carmel/Clay Land Use
Regulations.
4. Plantings Adjacent to Buildings: planting areas in front of buildings should be at least
20 feet in width, on the sides and back of buildings they should be 10 feet in width.
5. Planting in Parking Lots: planting areas (planting islands, peninsulas, and
entranceways) should represent no less than 10% of the total surface parking area.
Not less than two (2) shade trees and five (5) shrubs shall be provided for each three
hundred and fifty (350) square feet of interior parking lot landscaped area.

Landscaping in greenbelts, adjacent to buildings, and perimeter buffering areas are
not included in this computation.
6. Minimum widths for planting areas shall be nine (9) feet for shade/canopy trees,
seven (7) feet for ornamental trees, and five feet (5) for shrubs.
Please reply to these comments in Writing and by amended plan. Please contact me at

RE: 146th Street and Range Line Road PUD
Dear Paul:
This letter is in response to the rezone application you filed for the above referenced PUD. The following connnents
are a summary of the issues we discussed at our previous meetings. These items need to be addressed and/or
plans/applications updated accordingly:
1. Provide property exhibit illustrating property included in rezone application.
2. Pictures/exhibits of the type of proposed buildings would be helpful.
There should be an entire section of the ordinance devoted to architectural design. The ordinance
should establish the theme of the development so that the Plan Commission has a basis on which to
review future ADLS applications (building design, landscaping, signage, lighting, etc.). I can't say
enough about this aspect. If you are not in a position to convey the commitments to quality this
development will represent you are wasting your time. There are to many other critical and challenging
issues. You want the Plan Commission on your side regarding aesthetics.
3. Identify proposed setbacks. A zero setback along Range Line will not be supported by the Department
without the provision of more specific language as to building design, parking requirements, and
landscaping.
4. Landscaping (address Scott Brewers letter dated November 6th)
a. No greenbelts have been identified for 146th Street or Range Line (not acceptable)
b. Landscaping should be provided along the perimeter of the parking areas.
c. Provide a screen between this area and residential to south and west (similar to wall and
landscaping used for Lowe's development).
d. 5% interior not adequate, should be 1 O%of parking lot surface area at minimum.
Looking for minimum islands of 400 s.f. (min 10' width) with three trees and 15 shrubs
5. Parking requirements:
a. Identify parking setbacks, none have been identified.
b. No loading requirements have been identified
c. 1 space for 250 s.f. of gross floor area does not work for permitted uses such as multi-
family, restaurants, nursing home, etc. Revise, be more use specific. Include garden
center in calculation. Retail should be one space per 200 s.f. gross floor
6. Present a sign plan and include language in ordinance.
7. Revise ordinance language whereby the Plan Commission would be approving a preliminary DP with
the rezone and a fmal DP would go to the Department for administrative review. We will not support

r,
U
j'
u
w
this request as written in regard to this matter. The plan commission must see at leaste a preliminary
plan.
8. Provide assurances that Range Line Road is a commitment. The Department will not convey a positive
recommendation ifthere is any question about the status of Range Line being constructed. It will occur
prior to issuance ofC. ofO. for first use.
9. Respond to formal comments made by John Myers upon completion of Traffic Impact Analysis. It is
my understanding that the Traffic Impact Analysis is currently in "draft form". Please confirm.
I am requesting that you Table this request for a minimum of one month. I do not feel that the proposed ordinance is
currently prepared with the level of detail necessary for the Plan Commission to conduct any meaningful review of
the proposed development. Plan Commission packets need to be in our office no later than November 9th with a
department report to be issued on the 14th for the November 20th hearing date. This will not allow for adequate time
to review new or additional information. The additional 30 days would allow us to meet and discuss the changes you
have indicated to me that Lauth intends to make and to address the above mentioned comments.
If you have any questions or if I may be of assistance please do not hesitate to call.

Jon,
I will not be able to attend the T AC meeting on October 17th. I will be out of town attending a conference in Florida. I do
have a few comments that I would like to have you mention if you would.
CMC & CH LAND PROPERTIES
These two projects each be addressed off of Meridian Corners Blvd. Assignment will come at a later Date.
CLAYBOURN ESTATES
All the names on the primary plat will have to be approved by the county;layout looks ok as far as street cutoffs go: Only
concern is namenDonavan Blvd";it needs to be cut off at 131 st st, will need additional name for either North or South
entrance off of 131st(to replace Donavan Blvd}.
FECITT SUBDIVISION
Is this a totally seperate structure: if so it will get a different address then what is stated on the plans.
PAPAY SUBDIVISION
No comment at this time....will assign an address when applying for permits.
SANCTUARY
No comment at this time; not recieved plans as of this date
HUNTERS CREEK OFFICE PARK
Is entrance a private drive?Prefer it not to be; if private drive each building will be assigned off of Marana Drive.
CARPENTER GMAC
not recieved anything on this as of today
CLAY TERRACE
No comments at this time tillater on in development process; will each building come in as it is individually constructed?;
addresses will be assigned as each building as they come in; they will probably be assigned off of North Range Line Rd;
make sure they are aware Range Line is 2 words not 1.
HEARTHVIEW
require 3 street names for development; 2 EJW names and 1 N/S name. no further comment tillater time.
USTA
address seems alright, but will have to make sure it fits with what is across street; will make it official at a later date; Make
sure they put assigned address on monument sign or on the building.
