CARMEL PLAN COMMISSION
SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE
DEPARTMENT REPORT
May 4, 2006
4. Docket No. 06010009 Z: Crook PUD
The applicant seeks to rezone 20 acres from S l/Residential to PUD for the purpose of
platting 40 single family homes on 20 acres.
The site is located at 2238 W. 136th Street and is zoned SI/Residential.
Filed by Charlie Frankenberger of Nelson and Frankenberger for Indiana Land
Development.
The applicant is requesting approval of a Planned Unit Development to allow the construction of
40 single family detached homes. Refer to the revised information packet for full details. The
primary access to the site is a boulevard entrance from 136th Street. The site also stubs north into
the Westwood Estates subdivision.
The public hearing for this item was held at the February 21, 2006 Plan Commission meeting.
Two people spoke in opposition in regards to the density of the project. One person also
mentioned the need for developments to include some affordable housing options (mixed within
the development). The petition has been discussed at two meetings of the Subdivision Committee.
Through those discussions, the petitioner has revised the architectural requirements and some of
the open spaces. See Tab 1 of the updated packet for details on all revisions.
The Plan Commission requested that staff compare the proposed residential structures to our draft
Residential Design Guidelines. These are identical to the Shelbome PUD (previous agenda item).
See the following summary chart:

Front loading garages must be set back 3 load. Front load garages shall be offset
feet from the front elevation of the behind the occupiable first floor living
residence (or porch if one exists) area. Garage side elevations shall have
windows.
In addition, the site plan has been changed slightly to reflect increased tree preservation within the
common areas. Sidewalks to Azteca Lane will be provided, as well as a pedestrian path along
136th Street.
Staffs comments and concern's for this project include the following:
1. The landscape plan has yet to be approved by the Urban Forester.
2. Petitioner must commit to required upgrades to 136th Street along the project frontage.
These upgrades can be constructed or funded (for future construction). The petitioner
is required to coordinate with City Engineering to determine these improvements (or
cost thereot), and commit to construction or funding prior to approval. This
commitment must be recorded.
3. Elevations submitted do not match architectural commitments included in the PUD.
4. Carmel Engineering issues have not been resolved.
5. The committee requested that the petitioner consider increasing the minimum roof
pitch for this project.
Due to unresolved issues, staff recommends that this item be continued to the June 6th
Subdivision Committee Meeting.
