CARMEL PLAN COMMISSION
SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE
DEPARTMENT REPORT
May 4, 2006
5. Docket No. 06020006 PUD: Aramore PUD
The applicant seeks a rezone to create 150 townhomes & 72 courthomes on 27.35 ac.
The site is located near the SE comer of Westfield Blvd and 99th St. and is zoned S2.
Filed by Nick Churchill of Pittman Partners Inc.
The applicant is requesting approval of a Planned Unit Development to allow the construction of a
residential development comprised of a mix of townhouses, and quad-unit condominiums. Please refer to
the ordinance and exhibits submitted with the original packet mailing for full details.
This proposal is for the rezone of the property. This proposed PUD language specifies that approval of
this PUD will also act as approval of the DP and ADLS. As such, architecture, design, landscaping, and
site layout must be discussed in detail during this process. The Plan Commission will not see any portion
of this proposal again after it is approved.
As proposed, access to the site will be provided via both Westfield Blvd. and 99th Street. Full connectivity
within the development and to surrounding areas is planned.
The public hearing for this item was held at the March 21 SI Plan Commission meeting. Concerns indicated
by the Plan Commission and the public included tree preservation, a mix of housing types, drainage, and
building height. Due to the potential impact on adjoining properties and Westfield Boulevard, a traffic
study was requested.
This petition was further discussed at the March 30th Subdivision Committee meeting. Additional
concerns raised at the Committee meeting included architecture, building materials and color, and the
impact of the proposed development on adjacent residential properties. No new information has been
submitted since the Committee meeting.
Outstanding concerns and requests include:
1. Elevations of all 4 sides of the Townhome (rowhouse) structures.
2. Updates on any PUD language revisions
3. Update on landscape planlPUD language approval.
4. Traffic study
5. Petitioner has not responded to the Engineering comments made in the Feb. 15th TAC review
letter.
6. Note that the petitioner must commit to required upgrades to Westfield Blvd, 98th Street, and
99th 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 thereof), and commit to construction or funding prior to approval.
This commitment must be recorded.

7. Petitioner was requested to provide the distance measure in feet from the southern pond to the
houses along the southern border.
8. Petitioner was asked to provide more detail in regards to buffering methods to be utilized, and
where buffers were to be installed (berms, fence, etc.).
The Department recommends that the Subdivision Committee continue the request to the June 6th
meeting to allow additional time for the petitioner to resolve all outstanding issues and provide
requested materials.
