DEPARTMENT REPORT
May 1, 2007
3. Docket No. 07020003 DP/ADLS: Carmel Orthodontics

The site is located on the southwest corner of Carmel Drive and Guilford Road, and
is zoned M-3/Manufacturing. Filed by Ashton Fritz of Schneider Engineering for
Carmel Orthodontics.
The applicant seeks approval for a 2 story medical office building on 2.59 acres. Please see the
packet for full details. As proposed, the use, site, and layout meet the requirements of the zoning
ordinance. Staffhas no outstanding issues with this proposal.
Some issues brought up at the April 17 Plan Commission meeting was traffic and traffic flow
with the temporary road construction at 1 16th Street, up lighting of the building (ensure there is
no spillage into the sky), and using best tree preservation practices for the existing trees along
the southern edge of the site.
The large address numbers will most likely require variance approval from Sign Ordinance Sign
Chart C: Address Number Height from the Board of Zoning Appeals. Also, the total number of
signs on site may require variance approval.
The applicant should bring an update on engineering and urban forestry approvals to the
Committee Meeting. The City Forester, Scott Brewer, has preliminarily approved the
landscape plan.
The following issue is still pending:
1.) The Engineering Dept is still waiting for a response to their comment letter.
The Department recommends this Committee continue this item and keep this item in
Committee to be heard that the June 5 Committee meeting. (The Engineering Dept also
requests this item stays in Committee.)
