CARMEL PLAN COMMISSION
DEPARTMENT REPORT
October 17, 2006
4H. Docket No. 06080032 DP/ADLS: Medical Drive Shoppes
The applicant seeks to construct a 9,600 square foot, one-story commercial retail
building on the site of a former child care facility.
The site is located at 126 Medical Drive and is zoned B8/Business.
Filed by Mukesh Patel (owner).
The applicant proposes a 9,600 sq. ft. multi tenant commercial/retail structure. See the
submitted packed for full details.
Given the attributes of this site (size, topography, and access) some flexibility in
landscape placement and drainage easements are being explored to accommodate the
proposed structure and parking. The petitioner has worked closely with the Department
in adjusting their plantings and easement design to best accomplish planting requirements
and proper stormwater drainage. A variance was granted in June to reduce the number of
required bufferyard plantings. A revised landscape plan is currently under review.
Staffs comments and concerns are as follow:
1. Is there any way to accommodate an outdoor dining/seating area for one or both
of the end tenants?
2. The exaggerated arching central parapet needs to be revised to read better from
the side elevations. Extending it along the sides and/or reducing its height will
improve its appearance.
The petitioner should provide building material samples for review at the Committee
meeting.
The Department recommends this item be forwarded to the November 2nd Special
Studies Committee for further review.
