EXPLANATION OF REQUEST
The applicant, Schafer Development LLC, (“Schafer”), is requesting rezone approval for a
planned unit development in order to develop an empty-nester, active-adult for-sale residential
community (the “Request”). The subject site includes three (3) parcels of real estate that are under
common ownership, which parcels consist of approximately 14.3 acres and are located south of and
adjacent to 146th Street, west of Gray Road and east of and adjacent to the Salsbery Brothers landscape
company (the “Real Estate”). The Real Estate is currently zoned R-1 Residential and the request seeks
approval of the Andrews Planned Unit Development District (the “Andrews PUD”). The Real Estate
is shown on the site location exhibit behind Tab 2.
Uses surrounding the Real Estate include: (i) to the south is the Gray Oaks community and
further south is the Stafford Place community; (ii) to the west is the Salsbery Brothers landscape
business; (iii) to the north is 146th Street and on the northside of 146th Street is a self-storage business,
a Wabash Valley Power Association substation and at the northwest intersection of 146th and Gray
Road is the Bridgewater Marketplace commercial development that includes various retail and
business uses; and, (iv) to the east on the southside of 146th Street is an arborist business and a tree and
lawn care business, a larger undeveloped parcel is also to the east and further east, at the southeast
intersection of Gray Road and 146th Street, is a gas station.
The proposed concept plan is included behind Tab 3 and the community will consist of sixty (60)
empty-nester, active-adult homes (paired duplex homes and townhomes) that feature the primary
bedroom and bathroom on the main level. The proposed builder is Pulte Homes and the Andrews PUD
has specific architectural design standards and requirements that all homes must comply with. Further,
the Andrews PUD also has specific requirements for the community amenities, including a dog park
area and community gardens to be located adjacent to 146th Street, as well as requirements for
landscaping, street trees, perimeter buffering and tree preservation and open space requirements. Pulte
Homes anticipates that sales prices may be in the $500,000’s.
Some items of note regarding the concept plan include, but are not limited to: (i) access to the
community from 146th Street will be via a right-in, right-out entrance and street connectivity to the
platted stub street into Gray Oaks with additional street stubs for future connectivity to the west and
east; (ii) tree preservation easement areas are provided for along the west, south and east perimeters
with a tree preservation easement area along the backs of homes on the northern portion of the Real
Estate; (iii) the one-and half (1 ½) story paired/duplex homes are located in the central portion of the
community and the two (2) story townhomes are located around the perimeters of community; and,
(iv) Open Space and amenities areas are provided for in the community.
Behind Tab 4 are renderings of the proposed townhome architectural and behind Tab 5 are
renderings of the proposed paired duplex home architecture and both home products will consist of
primary building materials that will include masonry and fiber cement board (hardi-plank) with
window treatment requirements and masonry wainscot on all sides of all elevations. The Andrews
PUD includes specific architectural design requirements to ensure that the home design is unique and
attractive. Additionally, the standards of the PUD require substantial compliance with home design as
shown in Tab 4 and Tab 5.
Behind Tab 6 is the Amenity Character exhibit which includes character imagery of the
amenities for the community which shall consist of a Dog Park area and Community Garden area.
Behind Tab 7 is Open Space exhibit which depicts the locations of Tree Preservation Areas, Open
Space Areas and Bufferyard Areas.
Behind Tab 8 is the Andrews PUD which includes provisions specifically regulating the
development standards and architectural design requirements for the community, including but not
limited to: (i) building height and setback standards; (ii) site landscape, foundation landscape, tree
preservation and street tree requirements; (iii) parking requirements; and, (iv) and detailed architectural
design requirements for each home product offering (Exhibit G to the PUD for the townhomes and
Exhibit H to the PUD for the paired duplex homes) regulating building design, orientation and required
building materials.
Some of the ways in which the Andrews PUD meets the policy goals and objectives of the
Carmel Comprehensive Plan (the “Comp Plan”) include, but are not limited to, the following:
1. The proposal fosters and provides a sense of community and neighborhood identity via its
layout, dog park area, community garden plots and common area/pond area that should encourage
neighbor interaction, contact and relationship building.
2. The empty-nester, active-adult home product (paired duplex homes and townhomes) will
provide existing residents of Carmel an option to “right-size” from their existing traditional home to a
new home that better suits their lifestyle and allows them to “age in” Carmel as they move through
different life stages, while at the same time “freeing up” other existing Carmel homes to the re-sale
market that should serve to attract new residents to Carmel and allow existing Carmel families to
“move up” within Carmel which would provide younger families an opportunity to backfill the more
moderately priced re-sale homes.
3. The location of the Real Estate and site layout should promote and encourage opportunities
for the residents of this community to walk or bike to many local businesses by utilizing the multi-use
path that runs along 146th Street, which multi-use path also provides a connection to the Hagen-Burke
Trail.
4. A “Typical Corridor” as outlined in the Comp Plan, such as 146th Street, should serve as a
transition between surrounding uses and should allow for expanded housing options and limited
commercial uses. The Andrews PUD fulfils this objective by not proposing a commercial use in an
area that is partially surrounded by other commercial and retail uses and by providing expanding
housing options with an appropriate residential transition from 146th Street to the residential
communities that exist to the south of the Real Estate.
5. While the Comp Plan recommends building heights that are “1 greater than adjacent
development pattern”, the Andrews PUD is proposing 1 ½ story paired duplex homes and 2-story
townhomes which is more consistent to the building heights of the surrounding residential uses to the
south.
6. The Comp Plan recommends managing a community’s form to focus on scale and detailing
of building architecture, the public and private spaces between buildings and how they work together
to create places for people that are well-designed, safe and attractive. The Andrews PUD accomplishes
this objective with its detailed architectural requirements for the proposed home design and thoughtful
planning of common spaces, amenities and Open Space areas.
7. The Andrews PUD provides for street and pedestrian connections which help foster a sense
of community and lessen arterial vehicular congestion and the proposal continues to establish the link
and connectivity to the existing residential communities to the south.
8. By transitioning from 146th Street, the proposal redevelops an in-fill site and helps to improve
“neighborhood edges” by providing perimeter tree preservation and bufferyard areas that will continue
to blend into the residential communities to the south.
9. The Comp Plan recommends that new developments, including in-fill sites, strive to create
unique common areas throughout a development. The Andrews PUD meets this objective by
providing common areas that will include a Dog Park area and Community Garden area, both of which
are not typically found in most residential communities.
10. The Comp Plan states that Carmel desires the quality of life benefits derived from a variety of
housing types, especially along planned transit corridors such as 146th Street, to support shifting
housing demands as demographics and workforce needs change. The Andrews proposal provides for a
“missing middle’ type of home product that will add to the available housing types currently being
offered in Carmel. The proposed community can afford residents with the option of “again in place”
due to the 1st floor master bedroom floorplans. Further, because of the pedestrian connections and the
retail uses on the northside of 146th Street, the Andrews community will promote walkability by
providing opportunities for residents to visit nearby existing retail and commercial amenities.
11. Finally, the Comp Plan encourages different housing types and sizes within a neighborhood
to support different household types and economic resiliency. This allows options for existing
residents to age in Carmel as they move through different life stages, as well as housing options for
new residents to Carmel, both of which add to the character and adaptability of neighborhoods as they
mature.
We look forward to presenting this request to you on May 16, 2023.
Respectfully submitted,

Section 6.3. Areas to be landscaped.
A. Street Trees.
Version 8 050323
12
1. Large growing shade trees shall be planted within public street right-of-
way, parallel to each street, in planting strips. Street trees shall be planted
at a rate of one (1) tree per lot and are not required to be evenly spaced,
unless this spacing cannot be attained due to the location of driveways,
proposed utilities, or other obstructions as defined below in Section 6.3.B.
2. Street Trees shall be a minimum of 10’ from a driveway. In the event the
tree cannot be viably planted, the tree may be relocated elsewhere on the
adjacent lot or common area.
3. Per City standards, no street trees shall be planted in conflict with drainage
or utility easements or structures and underground detention (unless so
designed for that purpose), or within traffic vision safety clearances.
However, where the logical location of proposed utilities would
compromise the desired effect, the Controlling Developer may solicit the
aid of the City’s Urban Forester in mediating an alternative.
B. Foundation and Lot Planting Standards. The following planting requirements
apply to all Dwellings:
1. Lots shall have a minimum of one (1) shade tree in each Front Yard. In
the event the tree cannot be viably planted, the tree shall be relocated
elsewhere on the lot.
2. Lots shall have a minimum of eight (8) shrubs and/or ornamental
grasses along each Dwelling foundation facing the street.
C. Common Areas:
1. In areas where grading and development activity allow for the
preservation of existing native trees with a dbh of over 4-inches,
efforts will be made to retain said trees. The opportunities will be
limited due to construction and engineering realities. For all sidewalks,
the equivalent of at least one (1) deciduous tree will be provided for
every fifty (50) lineal feet of walk.
2. A minimum of ten (10) trees per acre shall be provided in common
areas including preserved and additional trees planted as shown on the
Landscape Plan.
D. Native Vegetation Areas: Native vegetation shall be provided along the
perimeter of the pond as illustrated on the Concept Plan. Areas designated for
native vegetation, to comply with Stormwater Management Requirements,
must be protected from regular mowing and shall be maintained in accordance
with the project’s Stormwater Operation and Maintenance Manual.
E. Perimeter Buffer yards and Landscaping:
Version 8 050323
