Mark Rattermann made Motion to approve Docket No 04050037 ADLS Amend Thrifty Car Sales subject to Department approval of a Photometric Plan Madeleine Torres seconded motion carried Five 5 in favor zero 0 opposed 2 Docket No 04050053 DPADLS North Meridian Medical Pavilion Filed by Tom Eagley of Lauth Property Group The applicant seeks approval for a medicaloffice building The site is located northwest of Old Meridian Street and Meridian Street US 31 The site is zoned B 3 and B 6 Business within the US 31 Overlay Zone on 920 acres Mike Cook attorney One Indiana Square Suite 1800 Indianapolis was present representing the Lauth Property Group and the property owner Regency Realty Cindy Pyle Williams Creek Farms homeowner and Ed Leer 12267 Creekwood Drive Williams Creek Farms were present representing Williams Creek Farms Zeff Weiss attorney with Ice Miller was present representing Greg Small adjacent property owner Petitioner The proposal is for the construction of a medical office building containing 88902 square feet on the west side of Meridian Street approximately 12202 North Meridian Street and contains 902 acres Currently the property has two separate zoning classifications Approximately two thirds of the southern portion of the site is currently zoned B 6 and approximately one third of the site to the north is zoned B 3 The petitioner is seeking ADLS and Development Plan approval for this site located in the US 31 corridor No proposed variances or waivers will be sought The Three 3 story building along US 31 will contain approximately 88000 square feet on the southeast portion of the site The proposed entrance to the project is located in the southeast corner of the site the parking numbers 378 spaces The building will be constructed of a buffcream and reddish brown color pre cast architectural metal and glass panels Enclosures for the dumpsters will match the proposed building We are also proposing a low single monument sign at the entrance with individual letters on the east facia of the building facing Meridian Street A frontage view of Meridian Street shows the parapet wall at approximately forty nine feet 49 to the top of the tower and fully encloses the rooftop monitoring equipment at fifty seven point three feet 573 View four shows the parking to the west of the building Landscaping has been a subject of discussions with the Department to adopt a tree preservation area to the northwest corner of the site and one on the southeast corner of the site we also plan to conserve an area of trees on the north end of the site Landscape islands are now proposed in the configuration as shownthey are larger and alternating at the end of each row of parking space The total green space ratio is 15 and the total green area provided is approximately 27440 square feet The area along the west of the site is proposed for water retention Utilities serving the site are Indianapolis Water Company and Clay Regional Waste sewer At the time the petitioner appeared before the Plan Commission issues were raised concerning the extension of Illinois Street the exact location of which has not yet been determined The site contains 907 SAP1anCommission SpecialStudyCommittee 2004aug03 2 ONE CIVIC SQUARE CARMEL INDIANA 46032 317571 2417 acres and is located next to the Ritz Charles and ADT which are immediately to the east of Spring Lake Subdivision There is an individual office building and shopping center towards Carmel Drive The second diagram represents an extension of Illinois Street based upon an alternative that from an engineering perspective was considered by the City as the most desirable location for the extension of Illinois Street between 116 and Carmel Drive On the site plan the location of the Illinois Street extension has been super imposed and is a location that is acceptable to Lauth and would also preserve the approximate lot lines This issue was a part of the Plan Commission proceeding and not to be considered as a part of this proposal The plot plan before the Committee does not touch any portion of the proposed street and stands on its own in respect to one building The proposal is for architectural design lighting landscaping and signage with respect to that parcel and it is proposed The petitioner has also had discussions with the attorney who is representing the majority of the homeowners in Williams Creek Farms Estates The third proposal is similar to the first except that it dips down by the Greg Small parcel showing a mythical solution to the Illinois Street situation We have met with the homeowners of Williams Creek to discuss this plan We are proposing to install parking lot lighting consisting within the rows with a total of sixteen 16 twenty two feet 22 full cut fixtures on eight 8 poles that are a maximum total of twenty five feet 25 with extending arms on each side We will limit the hours of illumination in the parking lot and on the building The shut off will be one 1 hour after closing or 1000 pm Monday Friday and weekends 8 00 pm in order to minimi the impact on the residential neighbors We will provide security lighting after hours Finally we have been asked our intentions for the four residential lots to the north Lauth has a contractual interest in three of the four lots to the south across from the site Lauth has no contractual interest in the fourth lot that borders the Small property Lauth is agreeable to a commitment that will limit the use for residential so that those lots would never seek to rezone or develop for commercial purposes Committee Chair I would like to see a show of hands of remonstrators Two remonstrators Zeff Weiss ICE MILLER We are not necessarily opposed to this however we are interested in the residential integrity We believe this area is going to be expanded into more than one building We are speculating this growth and want to protect the interests of the residents Our issue is not with what is going on today but future If there were only to be one building it would probably be centered and development would occur around it With the additional lots parking is pushed to the west and abuts what will become Illinois Streetthe main thoroughfareafter the City of Carmel or the State eliminates the access Mr Small would like an understanding of a few issues The variation on the road that shows a dip to the east by Mr Smalls propertyas soon as Clarian became a reality we realized that Illinois Street may in fact come through and we were concerned as to how it would impact Mr SAP1anCommission SpecialStudyCommittee 2004aug03 3 ONE CIVIC SQUARE CARMEL INDIANA 46032 317571 2417 Smalls property We discussed this matter and this is what came out of the discussion and we are very hopeful that that is what ultimately happens We recognize that Mr Cook and his client do not have control over it but our goal is for two items One is to bring this issue to the attention of the Plan Commission because when the road goes through the City of Carmel will have to write a check to all of the neighbors including Mr Small and we would like to help minimize that check The road would go on top of a very valuable house The second part is that by acquiring these lots anticipating the second building Lauth is anticipating finding a way to remove the restrictive covenants that are on the property that restrict commercial use and provide the parking in support of a commercial building Otherwise this does not work without structured parking The lighting and tree preservation also need to be addressed We have asked for screening and they are agreeable We would like a commitment regarding the hours of operation and a commitment that utilizes the property to the west as residential with a buffer When Illinois Street comes in the buffer will be gone and the impact will be in Mr Smalls backyard We would also like a commitment to address the hours of operation Please protect the whole subdivision to the west not just Mr Smalls property Ed Leer Williams Creek Subdivision Our neighborhood has no objection to the building Other issues The subdivision property abuts this property and Williams Creek Our commitments say No property owner shall develop anything but residential and restricted to size We are opposed to Illinois Street coming close to our addition We are in favor of moving it as far away from our subdivision east not west We would like to see the dip extend all the way along the property lines excluding none Second we would like to see more of a down lighting We are satisfied with the timing of the off lighting Third we would oppose any type of cell or radio tower or any other type of tower The Department We are satisfied with items I and 2 landscaping and lighting The ground west of here is zoned residential To rezone it would require a Use Variance and a new covenant for commercial development The route of Illinois Street has been approved by Council and now will go for design there is no timeline yet The City would make efficient use of the property If Lauth comes in to put a building in the future they will be in conformance with the ordinance This petition stands on its own merit It does not impact or negotiate a way to mitigate concerns that are not their concerns I would not attach any kind of commitments to this Item three If you can address the lighting concerns the light fixtures meet the ordinance height Do we want shorter poles and more lights or taller poles and lower number of fixtures Petitioner We made the conservation changes per Scott Brewer The lighting spillover meets the distribution We have never hidden our future plans for development There is a second building proposed mirroring the first We would then be required to acquire more parking We know there are private covenants we need to deal with and we look forward to meeting with the residents We are about the 97 acres for development and we are not asking for variances or waivers Jerry Chomanczuk Committee Chair from the Committee SP1anCommission SpecialStudyCommittee 2004aug03 I would like to open for comments and questions El ONE CIVIC SQUARE CARMEL INDIANA 46032 317571 2417 The Committee What will Illinois Street do to the parking at Ritz Charles ADT and the buildings south of ADT There is no guaranteed access to the building The access for this site and building is by a small frontage road only This is a monster building on a frontage road This is a disaster waiting to happen and will cause us to build Illinois More discussion from Committee members regarding the proposed Illinois Street extension building access without Illinois Street dumpster location and rezoning John Molitor Legal Counsel Public access is a key component The Citys Thoroughfare Plan does show the extension of Illinois Street The Department They have examined the proposal and our expectation of what the State will do to the Highway Our concern is what will happen to ADT and Ritz Charles when Illinois Street is developed The Ordinance does say we are required to provide access to the other parcels I think it has been the assumption that they would have the ability to get to Illinois Street after the States improvements The Committee There is concern about traffic patterns without Illinois Street being built today It has been said by remonstrators that this building is maxing out the site with or without Illinois Street We believe there is need for more reasonable discussion on this and therefore would like legal counsel to review this petition To allow time for counsel review the Committee would like to table until the next Committee meeting Petitioner We are against a tabling Mark Ratterman made a Motion to Table to the next Special Studies Committee meeting September 7 2004 seconded by Steve Stromquist Motion carried Four 4 in favor one 1 opposed 3 Docket No 04050048 DP Amend

rooftop mechanical equipment will be screened as a part of the general design of the building The parking SPlanCommissionMinutespc2004octO5specmtg 1 ONE CIVIC SQUARE CARMEL INDIANA 46032 317571 2417 lot consists of 378 parking spaces and exceeds the requirements under the Ordinance The ingress egress to this site is currently proposed off the frontage road There is now a tentative final plan for the route of the extension of Illinois Street from 116 Street and Carmel Drive The proposed route for the extension of Illinois Street affects two parcels one of which is occupied by Greg Small the other is occupied by Dr Spann Most of the other lots in the Williams Creek Farms Subdivision are considerably back from the proposed extension of Illinois Street Lauth Property controls three of the four lots in the Subdivision that are directly adjacent to where Illinois Street will be extended This proposal is the first part of a project that is proposed and consists of two buildings each containing the same amount of square footage That particular part of the project is coming before the Plan Commission on October 19 2004 as part of the public hearings This evening there is only one building before the Plan Commission The site plan only encompasses 907 acres The petitioner has worked quite hard and the neighbors have worked very hard in discussions concerning this matter Considerable progress has been made in those discussions and that is evidenced by the fact that there are no neighbors in attendance this evening to remonstrate against this proposal There is an agreement in principal with Mr Small and Dr Spannthe two most affected lots within Williams Creek Farms Subdivision by two things whatever impact the proposed development has and whatever impact the extension of Illinois Street will have While those agreements have not been finalized they are well under way to being finalized The petitioner is in discussion with the other neighbors in Williams Creek Farms Subdivisionrepresented by an attorneyand the attorney was aware of these proceedings Neither the residents from that Subdivision nor the attorney is in attendance this evening and progress is being made Again there is no final agreement but it is anticipated there will be by October 19 One of the things the petitioner has agreed to do is enter into some commitments regarding this development Those commitments have been presented to the Commission and the Department The petitioner agrees that any approval this evening should be subject to formalizing the commitments and recording them Those commitments relate to cellular towers signage permitted on site trash pick up and part of the commercial development that would incorporate those partial lots that will be bisected by Illinois Street Those commitments have been reviewed and approved by the interested parties to the extent they are relevant to what is before the Commission this evening the residential neighbors are in agreement Jerry Chomanczuk reported for the Special Study Committee Mr Cooks summary captures all of the salient points that have been discussed over the last three meetings The proposed building will be a fine looking building in a great location Two issues that took some time were working with the neighborhood and the alignment and extension of Illinois Street The Committee voted 4 0 in favor of this petition Department Comments Jon Dobosiewicz The Department is recommending approval of the Development Plan subject to the recording of the commitments offered at the Committee level A special thanks to the Committee members to meet this evening prior to the regularly scheduled SP1anCommissionMinutes pc2004oct05specmtg 2 ONE CIVIC SQUARE CARMEL INDIANA 46032 317571 2417 Committee meetings and to the full Commission in their willingness to meet this evening Once issues are resolved with all interested parties we can move forward and not unreasonably delay The Commission members were comfortable with the commitments tendered this evening by the petitioner Mark Rattermann echoed thanks to fellow Commissioners and to the petitioner in working with the neighbors to resolve issues Dianna Knoll was especially thankful for the resolution of the lighting issues Mike Hollibaugh Director commented that the Illinois Street extension is the Citys project and Lauth has been caught in the middle between the neighbors who had one thing in the mind and the City who had raised the bar quite a bit Illinois Street is an important part of the City Thoroughfare Plan and this proposal is a good opportunity for us to make Illinois Street happen Throughout the process the Citys Engineer American Consulting has been working closely with the petitioner and the neighbors to try and come up with an alignment that meets the Thoroughfare Plan and the Plan Amendment that was adopted in 2001 We are very close to having this all nailed down at least in concept The road was pushed farther to the east the needed right ofway is lined out at this point American Consulting is finalizing a field survey that will help us verify all topographic conditions as well as create the final documents either for right ofway or actual construction drawings Jerry Chomanczuk moved for approval of Docket No 04050053 DP ADLS North Meridian Medical
