CARMEL PLAN COMMISSION
SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE
DEPARTMENT REPORT
October 3, 2006
8. Docket No. 06010001 Z: Monon Townes PUD
The applicant seeks to rezone 6.81 acres from RIlResidential to PUD/Planned Unit
Development for the purpose of creating 38 doubles.
The site is located at 1001 Rohrer Road.
Filed by Ann M. Walker for Pulte Homes of Indiana, LLC
The applicant is requesting approval of a Planned Unit Development to allow the construction of
38 single family attached homes (in double unit buildings). Refer to the updated information
packet for draft details of the proposed new structures and site layout. The public hearing for this
item was held at the February 21 st Plan Commission meeting. This item was discussed at the
March ih and May 4th Subdivision Committee Meetings.
The following public concerns and suggestions were noted in these previous meetings:
1. Desire to see southern townhomes to be reduced to 2 stories to better transition with their
existing homes in Autumn Lakes.
2. Addition of more buffer and plantings along the southern property line.
3. Stub street connection into the northern stub in Autumn Lakes.
4. Location or plan for School Bus pickup.
The petitioner redesigned the project to take each of the above into consideration. The new
proposal reduces the number of units from 65 to 38. The 3 story townhome buildings have been
replaced by 2 story double unit buildings (with full basements).
At the September 5th Subdivision Committee meeting this revised plan was submitted. Due to it
being vastly different than the original proposal, the Committee voted to send the plan back to
the full Plan Commission to collect feedback and insight. At the September 19th Plan
Commission meeting the members voted unanimously (8-0) to allow this redesign to be
considered as the same rezone request. It was sent back to the Subdivision Committee for review
and discussion with the requirement that the petitioner send an updated mailing (first class) to the
adjoining property owner mailing list informing them of the redesign.
Staff s initial comments and concerns with the new proposal are as follows:
1. The two story double unit concept is contextually sensitive and is a better option than the
original submission.
2. The long, unbroken "garage door plane" is the only negative design aspect of this proposed
structure. Is there any way to offset this plan to help break up the "double garage door
front?" Rear load garages should be explored as a design option.

3. Engineering and landscape comments will be made after a revised, engineered site plan is
submitted.
The Department recommends that this item be continued to the November 2nd Subdivision
Committee Meeting for further discussion and review.
