MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
THIS MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING ("Memorandum") is hereby entered into by and
between the City of Carmel, Indiana, acting by and through its Board of Public Works and Safety
("City"), and the Wood Park Homeowners Association, ("HOA").
WHEREAS, the City is widening 1 16th St. Between Rangeline Rd. and College Ave., from its current
width of two lanes, to a proposed five-lane width (the "Project"); and
WHEREAS, certain homeowners represented by the HOA have expressed concerns about the Project; and
WHEREAS, there is an existing wall (the "Wall") approximately four (4) feet high, located along the
south side of 1 16th St., starting at Guilford Rd. and extending west approximately 300 feet; and
WHEREAS, the HOA agrees that increasing the height of the Wall would help to mitigate the increased
highway noise and other impacts of the Project; and
WHEREAS, Equicor Development, lnc., has pledged to contribute 50% of the actual costs incurred by the
HOA, up to a maximum of $10,000.00, for the improvements to the Wall to act as a sight and sound
barrier along 1 16th St. for the Wood Park Subdivision; and
WHEREAS, both parties are satisfied with the mutual exchange of promises and seek to reduce the
agreement to writing.
THEREFORE, the City and HOA agree to the following:
1. PERFORMANCE:
The City therefore agrees to pay the cost, up to $ 1 0,000, for materials required to increase the
height of the Wall from approximately four (4) feet to eight (8) feet. The City will pay the
material supplier directly for said material costs.
Upon delivery of the necessary materials, the HOA will contract directly with a masonry
contractor to complete the wall installation in a manner and time frame that does not negatively
impact the timely completion of the City's 1 16th St. Road Improvements.
2. DAMAGE TO PROJECT:
HOA agrees, in the course of the work by HOA's contractor on the Wall, that any damage done to
improvements within the Project or City's right of way along the Project, will be repaired at the
HOA's expense.
