Petitioner: Tim Ochs:
• This project dates back to 2005 when the first requests for sand and gravel operations were done. We are
requesting a minor expansion of the area to be mined.If approved this expands the life expectancy of the
operations.Presented a map of the proposed expansion areas of the north and south properties
• We met with the residents of Kingswood subdivision and had individual meetings with property owners.
We made agreements with the four property owners who are directly north of the northern expansion area.
• Presented the landscape plan. Our plan was reviewed by the Urban Forester.A landscaping mound with
tree plantings will be included along 106th Street and Hazel Dell Pkwy.
• The general concepts of the reclamation plan stay the same. They will follow the guidelines of the Indiana
Mineral Aggregates Association(IMAA).
• What is being proposed tonight is consistent with our 2005 settlement agreement
• When this is completed,the entirety of the property north of 106th will be given to the City of Cannel. Grass
and plantings will be made,and the correct slopes will be done prior to this. We will dedicate an additional
ROW along 106th Street so it is consistent with the 2023 Throughfare Plan.
• Present Kingswood Subdivision Plat, in 2009,an additional 60 ft was given in the rears of each Kingswood
BZA Meeting Minutes 6-26-23 3
lot that is directly adjacent to the north and west of the Martin Marietta property. An additional 90 ft will
now be given to these property owners in the rear of their lots.
• We are asking for amendments to the commitments: buffer size and location, landscaping and cleaning up
the site,ability to move dirt when needed,and the length of time
• Our commitments expired this October,and we are asking for an extension to Dec.31,2025
• We met with Mr.Yedlick on three separate occasions. He wants the water to come as close as it can and see
it as soon as possible. We tried to accommodate his requests,but the majority of the neighbors like what
they already have. For Mr.Yedlick's request,we would have to make the slope next to his rear yard a lot
steeper than the rest of his neighbors' rear yards,and that doesn't make sense to us.
Public Comments:
Tom Yedlick, St.Charles Place in Kingswood: The reclamation plan is not a minor expansion. It's a completely
new reclamation plan.When approval was originally granted for the expansion of Mueller North, it did not include
a reclamation plan. This plan is now retroactive. I would like to see a reclamation plan as a not one-size-fits-all.
Bernard Lally,Hunting Court in Kingswood: My property is directly east of the Mueller property.The property
owners along the north have different thoughts from us on the east side. We want a little more assurance of what it
is finally going to look like.
Timothy Powell.Cannel resident: I hope the roundabout at 106th and Hazel Dell happens one day so I hope this
proposal doesn't affect it.
Rebuttal to Public Comments: Timothy Ochs
• We are dedicating the ROW to the City so a roundabout will be constructed in the future
• We are happy to continue our discussion with the neighbors
• From our discussions,the neighbors want to keep it heavily wooded,except for Mr.Yedlick
• Presented cross section of current mining operations vs. when completed of the adjacent rear yards. 5 to 1
slope will occur from the rear property lines to the future lake when mining stops.
• We don't have the rights go within the 60 ft of the Kingwoods' rear private properties
Department Report: Angie Conn:
• This is currently being review by TAC and the Petitioner continues to address the remaining review
comments
• The Petitioner did a great job explaining their request to us
• Staff recommends positive considerations with the following conditions: addressing all remaining TAC
review comments,provide Staff with a copy of the recorded Commitments within 30 days,and completing
any agreed to dedications of street ROW under the settlement agreement
Board Comments:
Grabow: Any new curb cuts proposed,or any curb cuts removed with these changes?Tim Ochs:No.
Grabow: Does the proposed conveyance have no bearing on the limits of the reclamation area?Tim Ochs: They do
not. We already have agreements with the 4 property owners on the west side to include what happens in the 60 ft
and 90 ft areas. Grabow: Has the 60 ft conveyance area been impacted since 2009?Tim Ochs: To my knowledge,
tt has not been impacted. The tree and plant growth
Hawkins: When will the north area be completed?Timothy Ochs: No later than Dec. 31 2025
Hawkins: How long will the south area be completed? Timothy Ochs: We are adding 2-3 years to south.2028.

here.More parking is necessary if you are going to have retail space here.

not sure how to define a restaurant.Potasnik: I don't see the parking working out for this site if there's a restaurant
or a type of food service here.

bedrooms total. The extra bedroom doesn't mean an additional person. It could be used as a den or nursey.

regulate that.I can't make a commitment on behalf of the owner to reserve the parking.This is not a public garage.

sure how to define restaurant?Are a bar or coffee shop allowed?Grabow: I don't want to go down the path of what
