Combined Residential & Commercial Committee 11-7-24
2. TABLED TO DEC. 3: Docket No. PZ-2024-00099 DP/ADLS: Spring Mill Shops.
The applicant seeks Development Plan and ADLS approval for three new multi-tenant commercial buildings
totaling 14,870 square feet. The site is located at the NW corner of 116th Street and Spring Mill Road, within
Jackson’s Grant Village. The buildings have specific addresses of 11675, 11745, and 11785 Village Corner Court.
It is zoned PUD, under Jackson’s Grant Village (Z-653-20). Filed by Sean McKinnies of Republic Development.
3. Docket No. PZ-2024-00140 OA: Gramercy PUD Ordinance Amendment.
The applicant seeks approval to modify the existing PUD language to allow an urban residential development
consisting of townhomes, multi-family, and neighborhood-oriented, mixed-use buildings. The 33-acre site is
generally located at the southeast corner of City Center Drive and Kinzer Ave. (830 Golfview Drive) and is
currently zoned PUD (Z-493-06 Gramercy). Filed by Jim Shinaver and Jon Dobosiewicz of Nelson &
Frankenberger on behalf of Buckingham Properties, LLC.
Petitioner: Jon Dobosiewicz:
• Updates on previously outstanding items completed since the prior meeting:
o All building architecture concerns will be addressed and require approval by both the Carmel
Redevelopment Commission and then the Plan Commission Hearing Officer during the
development plan approval process.
o Open space plan showing a park area in the central western border area of the development was
provided.
Department Report: Rachel Keesling:
• Concerns raised about some of the character imagery provided by the petitioner, particularly regarding the
height and building materials of the townhomes. The petitioner agreed to remove images that indicated full
4th floor living areas and images of townhomes with unclear building materials that could have been
construed as vinyl siding.
• Pleased with the open space plan that was provided.
• Outstanding review items consist of language issues within the PUD regarding references to sections that
have been deleted. Confidant that these remaining issues can be worked out between staff and the
petitioner prior to approval.
Committee Comments:
Zoccola: The diagram of the plaza is great as far as landscaping. I am assuming but want to confirm there will be
street trees throughout the development? (Petitioner confirmed yes.) Two other small things, I saw you struck out
the section that said the ends and corners of buildings would have an additional level of detail. Is there a reason
why that was taken out?
Dobosiewicz: A couple of original illustrations that went along with the PUD that was adopted 12 (corrected later
to 18) years ago that I think showed like a 5-story clock tower element, those were removed.
Additional clarification was provided that originally the plan had all corner buildings having an additional 4th
story on them to be taller than non-corner buildings. This was struck due to development pattern changes and
removed since there was no longer a grid style street layout like initially proposed 18 years ago.
The 35% zoning waiver language was questioned by Zoccola but ultimately was accepting of its inclusion within
the PUD.
Minnaar thanked the petitioner for being willing to work with Carmel Clay Parks Department on the overall
development of the green space within the project area.
Kirsh noted his approval of Area D in the concept images but thought that Area C could use additional work. He
understood it was a challenging project but felt the multifamily showcased in Area C needed to look more like
individual buildings as compared to one large singular building. He also had other feelings on it he did not think
he could properly convey.
