Docket No. PZ-2023-00014 PUD: Andrews PUD Rezone The applicant seeks PUD rezone approval to allow a new neighborhood consisting of 31 detached single-family homes. The site is located at 4411 E 1461h Street and is zoned R-I/Residence. Filed by Jim Shinaver and Jon Dobosiewicz of Nelson & Frankenberger on behalf of Schafer Development, LLC. Petitioner: Jon Dobosiewicz: ■ With me tonight are Rex Ramage, Jim Shinaver, and the Schafer Development Team ■ The County has control over the changes to 1461h Street ■ There will be a 20-25 ft building setback to the homes adjacent to the shared property line ■ We removed the stub street to the west to Salsberry Landscaping, and kept the stub street to the east Iron Pointe and Remington in Fishers are comparable series of Pulte homes we would like to construct here + All masonry on the front elevations and enhanced side elevations abutting the main street throughfares 2200 - 2750 sq. ft. of living space, does not include garage or basement • A lot of changes have been made since our last meeting and we look forward to hearing your feedback • Staff mentioned they need to look at the updated architecture standards for the single-family homes • We will continue this is to the Dec. 5 Residential Committee for further discussion Department Report: Alexia Lopez • The Petitioner has completely changed their layout, but Planning Staff likes their original site plan better because of the mixed housing diversity they were offering. We've never seen a negative property value when a different home type comes in next to a single-family neighborhood. s Staff will work through the PUD details to make sure it's a well design neighborhood and esthetically pleasing . 146' Street is a typical corridor, and this site would be a good location for their original development • Staff will need time to review the new PUD and look at the new architecture standards We ask this is continued to the Dec. 5 Residential Committee for further discussion Committee Comments: Buckler: I like their new layout better than the old one. If I lived near here, I would rather have this. Campagna: I agree. Campagna: Has there been thought on where the traffic construction will take place. Rex Ramage, Pulte Homes: We will place "No Construction" signage at places along Gray Road, Wellswood Bend, and place barricade at our south entrance at end of the Gray Oaks Ct. cul-de-sac. We will want our main construction entrance to be off of 146' Street. Westermeier: I would like to see some samples of the signage, and the location of the signage. Will you include this language in the PUD? Rex Ramage: Yes, we can provide you examples and include it in the PUD. Westermeier: When would the barricades and signage come down? Jon Dobosiewicz: When a certain percentage, like 80-85% of Certificates of Occupancy is issued, we can take down the signage and barricades. Campagna: I like the community garden and dog park you have proposed. Residential Committee I 1-13-23 Westemeier: Is there an age restriction for this development? Rex Ramage: There's no age restriction in place. Westemeier: What's the Department thought on the removal of the east and west connections? Alexia Lopez: We would really like to see the east connection, even though the County would be taking this land. The County mentioned they would allow a connection. Jon Dobosiewicz: The County would have a ramp that would serve two connections at the future roundabouts north and south of 14611 on Gray Road. Presented a future drawing of 146`" Street & Gray Road Westermeier: I don't ever remember a PUD making such drastic changes. Are there any advantages of now not going through the PUD Rezone? Alexia Lopez: We discussed this with the Petitioner. We have already started the PUD process. Variances would probably be needed. We already have a governing document in their PUD Ordinance, where we can make the updates. It helps to have a document to track all these changes. Rex Ramage: We thought that having one governing document (PUD) guiding this project would be beneficial and help keep track of all the standards. Westermeier: There's only 3 types of homes you will be offering. I think these homes look very monotonous to me. Is there any way to change the look and feel of these. Rex Ramage: With only 31 homes, we typically don't change up the garage orientations. We can vary the architecture. Westermeier: Bring in 10 different elevations for this development. Buckler: What's landscape is planned along the south property line? Rex Ramage: The entirety of the south property line is a 25-ft tree preservation area. We will keep and maintain anything that is not dead or invasive. If we have to remove, we will plant new trees to fill in the gaps. Westermeier: Any plans for overflowing parking? Rex Ramage: Each home has 5 on -site parking spaces, and any overflow parking would take place on the public streets. This item will continue to the Dec. S Residential Committee 2. Docket No. PZ-2023-00138 DP/ADLS: LEO Cottages and Multi -family at The Legacy.

Filed by Jim Shinaver and Jon Dobosiewicz of Nelson & Frankenberger, on behalf of Advenir Oakley Development, LLC. Petitioner: Jon Dobosiewicz: • We are still working out some details with Staff and we know we will come back to this Committee on Dec. 5 Scott Weathers, Advenir • Our main focus is at the retail corner of off Community Drive and Hopewell Pkwy. Apartment unit building A will have gable roof -tops, Juliette balconies, and in -sets of the Pt floor retail.
