CARMEL PLAN COMMISSION
SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE
DEPARTMENT REPORT
September 5, 2006
1. Docket No. 06010001 Z: Monon Townes PUD
The applicant seeks to rezone 6.81 acres from RIIResidential 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 7th and May 4th Subdivision Committee Meetings.
The following public concerns and suggestions were made in the 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 has redesigned the project to take each of the above concerns 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have been replaced by 2 story double unit buildings (with basements). At this meeting the
petitioner hopes to get feedback on this new concept, and then return to the committee with an
engineered site plan and four sided elevations for these double units.
Staffs comments and concerns are as follows:
1. The two story double unit concept is contextually sensitive and a good option for this
property.
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?" Are rear load garages an 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 October 3rd Subdivision
Committee Meeting so that further details can be provided and discussed.
