Gramercy Development Standards Ver2 3-13~06 Page 1 of 25 Introduction i. Overview The standards contained in this document are intended to provide a masterplan framework for the redevelopment over time of the District into a new urban neighborhood that is built upon traditional neighborhood planning principles. This new neighborhood will be called "Gramercy." The new Gramercy community is designed to emerge over time on the site of the current Mohawk Hills Apartments. Located on 116 acres along Keystone Avenue, the property was originally constrUcted in the early 1970s as townhome apartments. Today the property is best represented as a moderately priced rental housing option with fewer amenities than the many other luxury apartments in Carmel. In addition, the property has deteriorating buildings and a confusing network of streets and building orientations. In the summer of 2004, locally-owned Buckingham Companies acquired the property which had suffered from years of disinvestment by its out-of-state owner. To stabilize the property, Buckingham invested in new landscaping, renovated the clubhouse, and repaired various overdue maintenance items. However, due to the property's age and condition, Mohawk Hills will need to be redeveloped over time. The Design and Development Standards and Conceptual Plan contained herein take into consideration the site's unique position as an infilllocation within the central core area of Carmel. Bordered by Keystone Avenue to the east, 126th Street to the north, Auman Drive to the west, and approximately E. Carmel Drive to the south, the property is located within Carmel's Central Business District and is in close proximity to Carmel City Center, the future Performing Arts Center, the Arts & Design District, the Monon Trail, and Old Town. ii. Consistency with Carmel's Plans These Design and Development Standards and Conceptual Plan provide the necessary tools for the property's redevelopment. These tools are consistent with the City of Carmel's plan for its central core and its high standards for community design and planning. It is also consistent with design principles of Traditional Neighborhood Development, or New Urbanism. Gramercy's location and proposed character are consistent with the City of Carmel's Comprehensive Plan guidelines for high,intensity residential development in that: (1) it is located in and adjacent to the CBD, (2) it is a part of an intensive mixed-use project, (3) regional access is directlyayail<lble, But not adequate to accommodate the volume anricipated witham major improvement. It will be important to have these traffic issues addressed before constmcrion begins. (4) access to the si~e is \'ia regional serving roadways ami does not pass through low-intensity residenrial areas, \X1ith the roads projected to open ODto Auman Drive East, it Dot only passes through a low- intensity residential area, but one that this traffic will pose a safety issue. There are no sidewalks, not uncommon in some of Carmel's 50-yenr-old housing additions. This neighborhood will be greatly impacted by just the traffic alone. A proactive approach from the city will be necessary to insure the safety of this neighborhood. We have a quiet, walking neighborhood comprised mainly of elderly (retired, widowed, etc) , young/active families in starter homes and a few or us in-between who have found that this neighborhood suites their needs. We need to preserve our ability to freely walk through our neighborhoods without fear (especially in winter/wet conditions). Our children need to be safe at their bus stops. Sidewalks need to be put in by someone (we are not asking for a change in zoning or more traffic or access to this project) and what ever measures need to be taken to insure our safety. The city has published below in the comprehensive plan a Capital Improvement Plan (referred to in the first bullet) used to fund infrastructure maintenance and replacement in existing neighborhoods..... Bullet three ...the city should evaluate alternative financing techniques through which new development would pay its fair share of impact on infrastructure....... Please see below. Growth Management Encourage proactive infrastructure planning and enhance east-west access. . The City shall adopt a five year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) to fund infrastructure maintenance and replacement in existing neighborhoods. as well as new facilities in growth areas. . Similar steps should be encouraged for the development of five year CIP programs in the unincorporated portions of Clay Township. · The City should evaluate alternative financing techniques through which new development would pay its fair share of impact on infrastructure. . The Cityffownship Plan Commission should consider updating its development codes to reflect new development control techniques. . Update the community's standard for drainage and stormwater manat!ement · Planning for non-vehicular travel (walks. bike routes. and trails) should continue to be encouraged in order to reduce horne/convenience oriented automotive trips. . In its evaluation of future road classifications/improvements along u.s. 31 and 431, East-West access must be improved for auto as well as pedestrian traffic to avoid the Township being divided into three separate areas. 1.6.6 High-intensity residential areas should generally not occur directly adjacent to low or very low-intensity residential areas. .5- 1 0 (5) The 4 exits requested by the city. No exits into this neighborhood preserves the safety of our residents. We have had no need for sidewalks or updated storm drains until this proposal. We can walk freely, ride bikes, take the pets out for a walk, etc. The Carmel track team and other runners use this neighbortlood for ifs 9/10 mile and the safety this neighbortlood provides. People from other neighbortloods come to ours to walk and walk their dogs. There is no way we can safely walk or play in this area without a way to get out of the way of the traffic. (as I'm typing a mother just walked by with a baby in the stroller) Buckingham can build to the maximum capacity under their current 3 parcels at r-2 and 1 parcel at r-4 and there would never need to be an opening on our side. We would remain the same. We know that this is not reasonable on our part. There is a compromise to be had but lets not do it at the expense of this neighborhood. Off set the roads that come out onto our neighborhood so that they do not line up with any major NS or EW roads in the project or onto Keystone. Make them 15 mph with speed bumps from the main roads all the way over on our side. The residents there will appreciate keeping the traffic out of their neighborhood as well. Do not widen the roads to allow them to move too freely through here. Keep Shoshone intact and Auman East residents property intact. See Item (1) for info pertaining to sidewalks. (6) Street widening. We have our own Norman Rockwell entrance to our neighborhood off of Shoshone. Widening the street would remove the "canopy" that gives charm to this neighborhood. Widening the streets would encourage traffic not discourage it Every effort to have in place (before it is an issue) exits onto Carmel Drive and Keystone and the traffic issues on 126th in place before construction is underway. The Neighborhoods on both the north and south side of 126th will feel a great deal of impact from this project (5} iti&-R@af-to aeighborheea OOlhtll~u..icd \;CutCll>, paM aad pb'YBl"01IU~, schools, biGyee and. pedM:tri~n tn:Iils, and Dalke, fire and publk sakty. --iii. Videa and I!l~lIl Gramercy Development Standards Ver2 3-13-06 Page 5 of 25 1.3 Open Spaces - Plazas Plazas are hardscaped open spaces, generally located in mixed-use or commercial areas adjacent to public streets, which provide open space for pedestrian use. Plazas within Gramercy shall have surface areas constrUcted of brick, pavers, stone, or stamped concrete and may include features such as trees, planters, benches, lighting, and trash receptacles. Cafe furniture, public art, fountains, kiosks, and special decorative features shall be permitted in appropriate locations. Gramercy shall have at least one plaza, generally located near the center of the Site. This central plaza shall be designed to serve as a center of community interaction. Buildings surrounding the plaza should be of high architectural quality, and shall be of a consistent architectural character. A dock tower. which is railer than the surrounding roof lines. shall he locared on a building on the southern side of the plaza. Tallest buildings in the center. Retail and commercial uses, including outdoor cafes and outdoor displays of merchandise, shall be permitted and encouraged on the ground floors of buildings surrounding the plaza in order to encourage pedestrian activity. Streets leading into the central plaza shall be raised at the plaza edge so that the streets are at the same level as the sidewalks within the plaza, thus encouraging pedestrians to use the entirety of the space. A surface material which is different from that used on the surrounding streets, such as stamped concrete or brick shall be used on the streets within the plaza and shall be designed to coordinate with the plaza architecture and hardscape materials. Gramercy Development Standards Ver2 3-13-06 Page 11 of 25 1.8 Streets No street exiting onto Auman East sban line up directly with any major North/South or East West Road inside the Gramercy project. All Roads shall have only 15mph speed limit and speed bumps. We prefer the use of these roads to be discoumged. Streets are the primary public spaces of Gramercy and as such are an integral part of the design vision and intent. All streets and sidewalks in Gramercy shall be designed with the primary purpose of pedestrian use and experience. Automobiles, while accommodated, shall be secondary to pedestrians in the street design of Gramercy. All streets and buildings should be designed to encourage people to use these public spaces and thereby support community interaction. 1.8.1. General Street Standards Gramercy shall have a variety of street types in a range of widths. In general, streets should be no wider than necessary to accommodate safe traffic flow, parallel parking, and adequate pedestrian/bicycle circulation as appropriate to the character and use of the area. Sidewalks should be widest in retail areas, in front of restaurants/cafes, and next to plazas. Sidewalks shall have a minimum clear passage width of five feet. In general, wider streets require taller buildings to maintain proper scale and proportion. . One-way streets, alleys, and private streets shall be permitted. Cul-de-sacs shall be prohibited, unless designed as a court, square, or hammerhead court with a central green space or plaza area. The minimum radius of such a court shall be 15 feet. · All public streets shall accommodate on-street parking, including parallel parking. . Minimum rights-of-way for two-way streets shall be 30 feet. Minimum rights-of~way for one~way streets shall be 25 feet. · The minimum lane width shall be 10 feet. . Internal intersections shall be separated by a minimum of 50 feet. Gramercy Development Standards Ver2 3-13-06 Page 21 of25 2.5 Roofs and Cornices 2.5.1. Cornices and Parapet Walls . There shall be articulation and detailing where the roof meets the wall, including cornices, eaves or rakes. Moldings, brackets, and finials can be used as special elements added to the cornice. . Flat roofs should have a parapet wall or similar decorative feature on the building's front and sides. . In larger scale buildings, extended parapets, projecting cornices, pitched or slope roofs, or decorative moldings of fourteen (14) inches or more are required to give the roof/cornice proper visual weight and proportion to the building. . Important architectural features, such as the cornice lines, shall be aligned from building to building; but, provide adequate variation to allow for an organic quality to the architecture without detracting from the coherence of the street wall. 2.5.2. Roof Shape . Traditional roofs are typically "flat" (sloped 1 "-in-12" or less) hidden behind parapet walls. However, some sloped roofs, including gable, hipped, and shed roofs are also acceptable if sloped between 4"-in-12" and 12"-in-12". Mansard, gambrel, and domed roofs shall adhere to traditional forms and proportions. False roofs are generally inappropriate and should only be used in limited situations. In general, architectural solutions shall be used to best conceal mechanical equipment, particularly in rooftop applications. . Sloped roof heights from eaw to pC<'lk sh<'lll not exceed thl' height from grClde to eClW (rill' roof shClll not he taller than the huilding wall supporting the root). .. On corner sites, the roof and cornice design shall be appropriate for both corner sides of the building. 2.5.3. Roofing Materials and Color . If visible, roofs should be constructed of standing seam metals (painted aluminum & steel, zinc, copper), slate or imitation slate, or architectural asphalt shingles. Wood shakes or shingle may only be used on smaller, residential buildings. . Visible roof materials should be muted in color (dark reds, browns and earth-tones, natural metal colors including aluminum, dark anodized aluminum, zinc, tin and lead). White, bright, non- fading and high-intensity colors, multicolored and bright metal finishes are inappropriate on visible rooftops. However, colors should be considered in the context of the effect of heat absorption, especially on flat roofs. 2.5.4. Mechanical Equipment and Appurtenances . The form of the roof or cornice shall hide mechanical equipment and roof penetrations, stich as plumbing stacks and vents, from view from streets and sidewalks. . Downspouts can be used where appropriate for the architectural design of the building. ::::.".."~::~~~" Inlerslale USHllIhWIIY St~.Road MaJor Rollds Mlno,R"eda SllbdlvlslonRoeds ::.:eU:~~.~:"D~Oad5 :::~~.sePt.mbet 20:; Zoning o Dce.....;,c,ayzonlng : ~ . ., ., ., "., "" "'" """ """ "'0 "ffie MISFA ~" ., ., ~ ., ., !Clty~"nclIOI.trl: o ~::::::: ~:~:::IO" Rick Sharp m ~;:::::' ~ounCI;:~ :~:I~ ::: a DI.1nct5:C:::::::~JO'Gr1ff\1h.
