CARMEL PLAN COMMISSION
DEPARTMENT REPORT
February 21, 2006
4H. Docket No. 06010001 Z: Monon Townes PUD
The applicant seeks to rezone 6.81 acres from R1/Residential to PUD/Planned
Unit Development for the purpose of creating 65 townhomes.
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 65 single family attached homes. Refer to the information packet mailed
with the agenda for full details.
Initial staff concerns include the following:
1. Buffering of the residential properties along the southern border.
2. Side elevation detailing (the need for additional windows and pedestrian
detailing).
3. As with all recent townhome projects, staff encourages the petitioner to
explore design options to make these homes unique (both on site, and in the
context of the City). The City is seeing an increased number of townhome
developments that are fully reliant on the same architectural style (3 story
brick, Georgian). As the City gets more and more of these projects it is
important to explore other styles, as well as entertain the idea of mixing
product types within the same development.
Petitioner should bring the following to the Committee meeting:
1. Updates on any PUD ordinance revisions and edits that are in response to
staffs, the public's, and the Plan Commission's concerns and/or suggestions.
2. Update on landscape plan approval.
3. Update on all outstanding Carmel Engineering issues.
The Department recommends that this item be forwarded to the Subdivision
Committee on March 7, 2006, for further discussion.
