CARMEL PLAN COMMISSION
DEPARTMENT REPORT
November 21, 2006
4H. Docket No. 06090041 PP: Towne Oak Estates.
The applicant seeks primary plat approval for an 18.75-acre site, to be divided
into 16 parcels with one public cul-de-sac access point.
In conjunction with this request, the applicant seeks the following waivers:
Docket No. 06100025 SW SCO Chapter 06.03.07 Cul-de-Sac length exceeds
600 feet.
Docket No. 06100026 SW SCO Chapter 06.03.21 Request to have one
access point for 16 parcels, two access points required for subdivisions with 15 or
more lots.
The site is located south of 131 st Street on Towne Road and is zoned S 1.
Filed by Matthew Skelton of Baker and Daniels, LLP for 56 Towne, LLC.
The applicant seeks to plat 16 lots on 18.75 acres. See the information packet for full
details.
This site is bounded by platted portions of the Village of West Clay on its north and east
borders. To the south is Coxhall Gardens. Nearly 2 acres ofthis site lies within a gas
line easement. This is not proposed as a gated subdivision.
Given the shape of this site, and the surrounding parcels, a secondary access point is
difficult. With no feasible stubs for future connections and without room for an
additional cut onto Towne Road (which we would not support), the Department is in
favor of these waiver requests.
The applicant's proposal meets the zoning ordinance in all other regards.
Department suggestions and requests are as follows:
1. Provide details on the common area. If this is to function as dry detention, it can also
have an active and or passive use. Please ensure plantings in this area will assist in
maximum water absorption and filtration.
2. Review the City's draft Residential Architectural Guidelines and provide details on
how your proposed dwellings compare to such.
3. Full approval of the Landscape Plan has not been granted.
4. Preliminary City Engineering approval has not been granted.
The above items must be resolved prior to packet distribution for the Committee
Meetings (Nov. 24th).
The Department recommends these items be forwarded to the Plan Commission
Subdivision Committee Meeting on December 5th for review and discussion.
