RE: Project Review #2/Tom Wood Volkswagen/96th Street Auto Park
Dear Mr. Hurst:
We have reviewed the fIrst set of detailed construction plans submitted for this project. We offer the
following comments:
1. Please provide a Title Sheet with a location and/or vicinity map.
2. Indicate that the access street and loop pavement areas are existing on all applicable sheets.
3. Provide drainage calcs to indicate how this development fits into the overall plan.
4. All that is indicated for erosion control is silt fences. What about at pipe outlets and curb turnouts
(if allowed)? Need protection down to the creek. Show slopes, etc.
5. Original Dye Realty plans show this site in floodway although the plans indicate the revised line.
We will need all documentation verifying floodway has been revised (DNR) and appropriate
permitting from DNR.
6. The drainage plan and other sheets show a line identifIed as the 100-year flood elevation but does
not indicate the elevation. Please include the 100-year flood elevation on all applicable sheets.
7. Show the true centerline of the creek and the top of bank. It doesn't seem feasible that the
approximate centerline of the creek as indicated on the drawings is a perfectly straight line.
8. Sheet SI- Development Plan
o Label parking areas as either existing or proposed.
o It appears the west side of the proposed parking area is not curbed. The entire pavement
area is required to be curbed.
o There is an existing curb turnout located outside of and adjacent to the SW comer of this
site. Please show justifIcation for 4-curb turnouts, when there would be two turnouts
within 20 feet of each other at the SW comer of the site.
o The southeast comer of the new/used car storage lot intrudes into the curb of the loop
road. This is not acceptable.
9. Sheet S2 - Drainage Plan
o There are small black circles with lines extending from the circles indicated in the
parking lot. What are these?
o There is a heavy black line along a portion of the access street curb at the east side of this
development. Is this a silt fence? If so, it should be identifIed.
o The existing storm sewer indicated should be extended east to the existing curb inlet at
the access street. There is another existing curb inlet further north. These should be
indicated on the drawing.

10. Sheet S5 - Utility Plan
. A portion of the north and east parking lots are constructed on a utility easement and over
a sanitary sewer. This will require a Consent to Encroach Agreement between the owner
and the City of Carmel.
. Please show the existing sanitary sewer main (and its easement) that runs diagonally NE
from the existing sanitary manhole at the NW comer of this site.
. Please show the existing sanitary sewer (and manholes) that runs south along the east side
of this site.
. What is the heavy black line along the west side of the sheet, east of the approximate
centerline of the creek?
Please be advised that Carmel Utilities will provide a separate review of this project. Final drawings will
not be approved until all Engineering Department and Carmel Utilities issues have been resolved.
If you have questions, please call. My telephone number is 571-2432.

Dear Mr. Hurst:
I am in receipt of your request to be placed on our Board of Public Works and Safety agenda for sewer
availability. Assuming you have received all Plan CommissionIBZA approvals, I will place your request
on the February 20,2001 BPWS agenda.
Please be advised that we have never received a full sized set of construction plans or drainage calculations
for this facility per our comment letter dated July 17, 200 1. I am including a copy of our comments that
were provided for the July 18,2001 Technical Advisory Committee meeting. We will not approve this
project or accept Connection Fees until we have received, reviewed and approved the plans and drainage
calculations. A set of plans should also be provided to Carmel Utilities. They will want to review items
pertaining to sanitary sewers including the sanitary sewer lateral from the main to the building, grease trap
locationltypelsize, location of floor drains, etc.
If you have questions, please call. My telephone number is 571-2432.

Larry lawhead came in today to discuss the TW VW landscape plan. I asked him t 3 of the shrub species, and
we discussed a few species that might do better than the Lindens they show on the plan. He said he would get the revised
plans back to me on Monday before their meeting. At least by permitting that little section on Lot three now, we should be
able to say no when they try to change it again in the future.

On behalf of Petitioner, Tom Wood Nissan, Inc. d/b/a Tom Wood Volkswagen, I am writing
to request an amendment to the above-referenced Special Use Application which is pending before

common lot line between Lot 1 and Lot 3 in that both Lots are in common ownenhip and will avoid
the installation of excess lighting fixtures along the common lot line. The Petitioner is willing to
commit that in the event Lot 1 is conveyed separately from Lot 3 (and to an entity not owned. or
controlled by the ownet oiLot 3), the owner of Lot I will be required to seek a modification oftbis
Special Use approval or otherwise comply with 9 35.2. 7( d). Thank you for your assistance.

RE: Project Review #l/Tom Wood Volkswagen, 96th Street Auto Park
Dear Mr. Engle:
This office has reviewed the plans submitted for this project. We offer the following comments:
General Information
1. The project site is located within current City of Cannel Corporate Limits.
2. Jurisdictions:
. Streets and Right of Way (96th StreetlRandall Road) - City of Cannel.
. Water - Indianapolis Water Company Service Area.
. Sanitary Sewer and Stonn Sewer - City of Cannel
3. Board of Public Works and Safety Approval Requirements:
. Sanitary Sewer Availability (Connection).
. Any permanent improvement to be installed in public right of way or dedicated easements. This
requires a Consent to Encroach Agreement between the City and the Owner or Owners. If an
irrigation system is planned for these developments, beyond what is provided by the Developer,
additional Water Availability wiII be required from the Board.
I am enclosing a schedule of Board of Public Works and Safety meeting dates and agenda deadlines
for your use. Please use the Engineering Department deadlines for submission to the Board.
Any submission to the Board requires prior final approval by the Carmel Clay Plan Commission
and/or the Board of Zoning Appeals and completion of review by the Technical Advisory
Committee. All written requests to be placed on the Board's agenda must include the appropriate
Docket Numbers and the date (or dates) of approval by the Plan Commission and/or BZA.
4. Sanitary Sewer Connection Fees:
. Connection Fees are based upon the average user factor tables from Section 9-200 (sanitary) of
our Utility Ordinance. The Connection Fees are $795.00 per E.D.U. for sanitary sewers. There
are no classifications in our tables for auto dealerships other than the Retail classification, which is
1.0 E.D.U per 1000 square feet. You do have the option of requesting approval from our Board of
Public Works and Safety to utilize actual usage from an existing similar facility as a base
calculation for the proposed facility. Such requests must be accompanied by proof of a minimum
of one years worth of actual water usage, recapped by total gallons per month, and must include
the name, location and size in square feet of the facility being utilized as a base for calculation of
fees.
5. T.A.C. Review/Drawings submitted for approval:
We request that all comments and comment letters generated by this office be answered in writing and
be accompanied by a drawing reflecting requested revisions. Final drawings wiIl not be approved for
construction until all issues have been resolved. All Cannel Utility issues must also be resolved. The
design engineer must certify all drawings submitted for final approval. This office will require a

Page 2
minimum of four-sets of approved drawings after all issues have been resolved. The drawings will be
stamped approved and signed by both the City Engineer and Director Cannel Utilities. The
Developer/Owner will receive one-set which is to be maintained on the construction site at all times.
Carmel Utilities will receive one-set. Our Public Works Inspector will receive one-set and one-set will
be maintained in the Department of Engineering. If more than four-sets are requested to be approved,
the additional sets must be submitted with the four-sets.
6. Please be advised that any installation of signs, walls, irrigation systems, etc. within dedicated right of
way or easements will require a Consent to Encroach Agreement between the Owner/Developer and
the City of Carmel. This agreement requires review and approval by our Law Department and Board
of Public Works and Safety approval.
7. Carmel Utilities does not subscribe to "Holey Moley" and should be contacted directly for all water
and sanitary sewer locates.
8. Carmel Utilities will provide a separate review of this project for sanitary sewer issues.
9. I am including copies of the following items with tllis correspondence:
. Department of Engineering Commercial Project Approval Procedures.
. Permit Data, Contacts, etc.

PROJECT COMMENTS
11. We are not able to provide review comments until a full set of detailed civil drawings and drainage
calculations are submitted for review.
The above comments are based upon the Engineering Department's initial review. Please provide our
office with a follow up letter and revised plans, indicating all revisions. Second and subsequent reviews
will focus only on revised items. It is critical tllat our office be made aware of all modifications made on

RE: Landscape Plan Review for Tom Wood Volkswagon (SU-75-01)
Dear Mr. Engle:
Earlier today I met with Larry Lawhead of your office, and then with Mr. Bob Hurst of
Hurst & Associates. Mr. Hurst delivered the full size set of plans I had requested for
review. The copies that were sent for TAC review had been reduced to the point of being
illegible. Mr. Lawhead brought plans of the modified primary plat for our meeting.
The first major problem that came to my attention was the removal ofthe landscape
buffer along the creek. This landscaping was approved as part of the primary plat
approval (Landscape Exhibit 'A' - September 21,2000) and is referenced as a
commitment in the Declaration of Covenants and Restrictions for 96th Street Auto Park.
Any reductions in this landscaping would require Plan Commission approval, and
apparently by commitment, approval from the Williamson Run Homeowners
Association.
Please contact Mr. Laurence Lillig of the Department of Community Services at (317)
571-2421 to discuss your administrative options for this proposed change in
commitments. I also have comments on the proposed landscape plan for the Tom Wood
lot as follows:
1. Per the B-3 zoning requirements, parking lots should be screened from any
residential exposure. Any resolution to the above buffering change should
account for the screening requirements.
2. Species concerns: Red Maples (Acer rubrum) are an overplanted species in
Carmel and have the potential to become invasive. Since there are already many
Red Maples planned on the 96th Street Auto Park, an alternative species needs to
be selected. Native hardwood species (other than Maple) are suggested; Oak,
Ash, Linden, Beech, or Hackberry would be acceptable.

Page 2, Tom Wood
Snowdrift Crabapples are not recommended because of disease pressure in this
region. Please chose an alternative from the Indiana Urban Forest Council's
recommended Crabapple Cultivar list (Mr. Hurst has a copy of the list).
3. For plan consistency there are additional planting areas available, including a
parking lot island in the southeast comer of the lot, and the planting strip along
the north perimeter lot line. In the island, at least one tree should be added, and in
the planting strip, two or three should be added. These trees can match the
species of the adjacent plants.
Please reply to these comments in writing and by amended plan. Please contact me

RE: Landscape Plan Review for Tom Wood Volkswagon (SU-75-01)
Dear Mr. Engle:
Earlier today I met with Larry Lawhead of your office, and then with Mr. Bob Hurst of
Hurst & Associates. Mr. Hurst delivered the full size set of plans I had requested for
review. The copies that were sent for TAC review had been reduced to the point of being
illegible. Mr. Lawhead brought plans of the modified primary plat for our meeting.
The first major problem that came to my attention was the removal of the landscape
buffer along the creek. This landscaping was approved as part of the primary plat
approval (Landscape Exhibit 'A' - September 21,2000) and is referenced as a
commitment in the Declaration of Covenants and Restrictions for 96th Street Auto Park.
Any reductions in this landscaping would require Plan Commission approval, and
apparently by commitment, approval from the Williamson Run Homeowners
Association.
Please contact Mr. Laurence Lillig of the Department of Community Services at (317)
571-2421 to discuss your administrative options for this proposed change in
commitments. I also have comments on the proposed landscape plan for the Tom Wood
lot as follows:
1. Per the B-3 zoning requirements, parking lots should be screened from any
residential exposure. Any resolution to the above buffering change should
account for the screening requirements.
2. Species concerns: Red Maples (Acer rubrum) are an overplanted species in
Carmel and have the potential to become invasive. Since there are already many
Red Maples planned on the 96th Street Auto Park, an alternative species needs to
be selected. Native hardwood species (other than Maple) are suggested; Oak,
Ash, Linden, Beech, or Hackberry would be acceptable.
ONE CIVIC SQUARE CARMEL, INDIANA 46032 317/571.2417
'.

o
Page 2, Tom Wood
Snowdrift Crabapples are not recommended because of disease pressure in this
region. Please chose an alternative from the Indiana Urban Forest Council's
recommended Crabapple Cultivar list (Mr. Hurst has a copy of the list).
3. For plan consistency there are additional planting areas available, including a
parking lot island in the southeast comer of the lot, and the planting strip along
the north perimeter lot line. In the island, at least one tree should be added, and in
the planting strip, two or three should be added. These trees can match the
species of the adjacent plants.
Please reply to these comments in writing and by amended plan. Please contact me
directly to discuss any comments or questions by calling (317) 571-2478.
Sincerely,
0~6~

T AC Comments
Jon:
Hilton Garden and Macaroni Grill - comment letter faxed, copies on your c
wants them.
Woods of Williams Creek - same as above. Significant issues: ONE - Nature Preservation Zone (easement in
covenants) Is NQLon the Plat. To be effective, it must be recorded with the plat. TWO - Tree preservation covenants
need to followed. THREE - No landscape plans have been submitted, but for example, there are landscape mounds
drawn and labeled on the site development plan. A landscape plan is required.
Village of West Clay - No comments at this time. i have been working with Parks Pifer (Benwick) and landscaping plans
and issues.
Hazel Dell Corner, Lot 4 - Have comments and will have letter done Friday or Monday. Significant issues: One - did not
receive copies of plans. Please have Paul send me a set. TWO - Greenbelt on North perimeter should not occupy same
space as utility easements, and must be planted with required bufferyard plant materials. THREE - will ask for additional
tr~ and shrubs to match other properties in the development.
Jam Wood Volkswagon - spoke with Tom Engle of Barnes & Thornberg and he will be dropping of enlarged (readable)
plans so I can review them. Comment letter after I do review.
Crooked Stick - No comments at this time
That's all

T AC Meeting
Hi John,
I will not be able to attend the TAC meeting on Wednesday due to a meeting I have to attend in Greenfield. I would like for
you to pass on the following to the Petioners:
Hilton Garden Inn--------------Please advise them that they will be assinged a Pennsylvania Street address since the
Building faces Pennsylvania and Main access is off of Pennsylvania Street.
J.C. Sipe Jewlers---------tell them to make sure that they put their address numbers either above the front door or on the
Monument signage, so it can be easily seen from the street by Police and Fire personnel.
Macaroni Grill------ Same as above
Village of West Clay Section 3001-A Block J------- I have spoken with Keith lash on this. I had a question on where the
access point was to Block 5 and 6. For addressing purposes, I need to know what street these will be off of. He had
mentioned to me that there was going to be a private drive between blocks 5 and 6. I told him that I we don't address off of
private drives. I told him to talk to you and Laurence abouth this at the TAC meeting. Please let me know what you both
decided on this. Right now there is no way to address these two blocks of town homes the way they are. After looking at
the project none of the buildings have accessibility from the main streets. It looks to me like the front of the buildings are all
off of the"Private streets". From a Public Safety standpoint, I would prefer they submit four additional street names, so
those townhomes can be addressed. After looking at the drawings I see no way to get to those buildings unless you turn
off onto what they want to call"private streets" The only other altenative would be for them to put some type of address
block on the rear of the buildings that back up to the main streets in that area, with the span of addresses in the building
along with the street name on it as well.
For Example for block 2: 2255-2285 ( This is what the address block could look like on rear of
GLEBE STREET Building.)
Just let me know what your expertise in this situation would be...Hopefully you and Laurance could put your heads together
and give me an idea. Thanks
Hazel Dell Corner Lot 4----- This is going to be a small strip mall, I have talked to Cort(1 believe)
on this issue. Have them make sure the Physical address is on the building or on the Monument sign if they have one.
They have been advised to use Suite letters for tenants occupying the individual spaces.
East 96th St Auto Park----Tow Wood Volkswagen---..Make sure the address is physically on the building or Monument
sign for Public Safety reasons.
Thats all I can think of at this time. Sorry about not attending, but if you would please mention these, especially the Village
of West Clay issue....lt would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks Bill

Hello Jon et al:
Following are CTRWD comments on the agenda items effecting our sanitary sewers or service area for the July 18 T AC
meeting. Please feel free to copy and distribute this email or attach it to your meeting minutes.
Woods of Williams Creek Subdivision
The District has received plans and the District's consulting engineers are completing their review. Once that review is
complete, the plans will be ready to be submitted by the District to IDEM for State approval.
Village of West Clay Section 8002
The District has received plans and the District's consulting engineers are completing their review. Once that review is
complete, the plans will be ready to be submitted by the District to IDEM for State approval.
Village of West Clay Section 3001-A, Block J
The District has received plans and the District's consulting engineers are completing their review. Once that review is
complete, the plans will be ready to be submitted by the District to IDEM for State approval.
Crooked Stick Estates, Section 2, Lot 44
While this property is in the District's service area, it is in an area where sewage disposal is provided by individual onsite
septic systems. We have no information on the nature of the variance being requested, so we cannot comment further as
to whether the work may effect any nearby interceptor sewers in the vicinity of 106th Street and Crooked Stick Lane.
East9~th Street Auto Park, Lots 1 & 3 (Tom Wood Volkswagen)
The.District is aware of the petitioner's plans but the property is served by Carmel Utilities. If any related site work
extends into the travel lanes of 96th Street, Holey Moley should be notified so that the District can locate its 16" force
main appropriately in order to prevent damage which would likely cause a major sewage spill.
We are a member of the IUPPS underground locate network so call 1-800-382-5544 before you dig! Please feel free to
contact me if you have questions or need additional information. Please check our website for construction specification
and permit information and let us know if there is other information we can provide which would be useful. Thanks!
