Dear Mr. Jordan:
Duke Energy has is formally requesting a variance related to the City of Carmel storm
water release rate for a new proposed substation located at 925 Rohrer Road in Carmel,
Hamilton County, Indiana.
Duke Energy would like to request approval of storm water release rates as proposed on
the current plan submittal. Post-development runoff flow rates are designed as equal to
or less than the pre-development runoff rates. This request is submitted in an effort to
save several existing mature trees that currently act as buffer between the proposed
substation site and US 31. In order to meet the re-development requirements, set forth by
the City of Carmel, the proposed detention basin would need to be expanded which
would result in the removal of all visually beneficial vegetation on site.
Please contact me at (317) 605-8922 or at Brian.Catt@Duke-Energy.com if you have any
questions or you can send correspondence to the address below.
Thank you,
Brian Catt
