HomeMy WebLinkAboutCorrespondence July 2, 2024 Mr. Alex Jordan Engineering Department City of Carmel One Civic Square Carmel, Indiana 46032 Re: Request for Variance – Minimum Flood Protection Grade (MFPG) Docket No. #PZ-2024-00070 ADLS – Tru Hotel Dear Mr. Jordan: American Structurepoint, Inc., on behalf of our client, Dor a Hospitality, respectfully requests the following variance from The City of Carmel Stormwater Technical Standards. We are requesting a variance from standard 104.02, which requires the building finished floor to be a minimum two (2) feet above the Minimum Flood Protection Grade (MFPG ) and the Minimum Lowest Adjacent Grade (MLAG) to be 12 inches above the local flood route. Further more, the Minimum Finished Floor Elevation (MFFE) is to be a minimum 6 inches above the finished gr ade around the building and two (2) feet above the local flood elevations. The site was master planned, leaving no thing more than a building pad to be constructed, and allowing minimal adjustability in grades to preserve ADA accessibility throughout the site. The proposed building has maximized elevations as much as possible to raise the finish floor to the highest extent possible (0.90’ higher than was contemplated in the master plan). Th e proposed flood routing through the site will direct runoff away from the building and towards adjacent public w ays that are significantly lower than the site and fully in compliance. The emergency spillway for the adjacent po nd is almost 3’ lower than the proposed finish floor and similarly, overflows into the public way. The site has been graded to perpetuate all drainage away from the building, primarily to the east and Frontage Road which continue to drain southward, away from the property. The building will not be inundated by overflow during emergency situations. We appreciate your time and consideration of our request. Please call me at (317) 547-5580 if you have any questions. Sincerely, American Structurepoint, Inc.

What is shown appears to extend to an elevation of +/-864.80. Additionally, the ponding depth is incorrect. The low point appears to be the rim elevation of Str. 104 of 863.09 and if the ponding elevation is 864.00, that would equate to a ponding depth of 0.91 feet.

This is consistent with the original design plans for the building to the north, which constructed the ponds, storm infrastructure and flood routing. ---------------------------------------------------------- Reviewer Response: Willie Hall - 6/5/24 3:44 PM The ponding elevation of 863.21 appears to be incorrect. The overflow routing arrow shows, when this structure is completely clogged, it will spill over the curb to the south to the existing dry basin. The closest elevation along this curb line is at the ramp SW of Str. 105 which has a BC elevation of 863.52 and a TC elevation of 864.02. It appears that, at a minimum, this structure would pond up to those elevations before being able to drain to the dry pond to the south.

A201 - EXTERIOR ELEVATIONS.pdf Reviewer Response: Aliza Shalit - 6/13/24 2:24 PM Thank you for working on the size of the sign. Although we value your perspective regarding the depth of the blade, a variance will still be required. The UDO Standard is not dependent on where the blade extends more than 5' from the face of the building, but that it actually does. That said, we can be supportive of the blade sign as is. ---------------------------------------------------------- Responded by: Mark Leach - 5/30/24 3:54 PM The angular shape of the sign extends 9'9-1/2' from the building face at its furthest point and 6" from the building face at its narrowest point resulting in an average distance from the building face of 5.2". The shape of the sign is both an artistic feature as well as functional to accomodate the shape of the hotel brand logo. The ordinance is written in anticipation of a traditional vertical letter blade sign. If held to this standard, the owner will not be able to accomodate the required brand logo. Due to the height of the sign and blade, the additional extension in length of the building does not pose any type of danger or hazard to the public.
