CARMEL PLAN COMMISSION
DEPARTMENT REPORT
October 17, 2006
6H. Docket No. 06080036 Rezone: Park Place PUD.
The applicant seeks rezoning approval for a 19.55-acre parcel, currently zoned
Rl, requested to be rezoned to the PUD classification to provide for active adult
residential development.
The site is located north of 1 16th Street, on the east side of Guilford Road.
Filed by James Shinaver of Nelson and Frankenberger for Guilford Partners LLC
The applicant seeks a rezoning to permit the construction of a single structure retirement
community. This proposal is for the rezoning only. The final building and site design
would return for DP/ADLS approval. See the packet for full details.
This site has wetlands that will need to be preserved or mitigated. The petitioner has
worked with staffto lay this site out in a sensitive manner that preserves and enhances
some of the area's natural amenities.
Staff supports a rezone in this area for such a use. It is compliant with the
Comprehensive Plan, and is in character with the surrounding attached residential and
low intensity commercial uses.
Department comments, concerns, and issues include:
1. Please provide an update on the landscape plan/language and preliminary
Engineering review approvals.
2. What is the timeline for wetland mitigation plan review and approval?
3. Please provide better pedestrian access from the building to the garden plot areas.
It would be a good idea to incorporate a small sitting area (on a hardscape/plaza)
in proximity to these plots for resting and viewing the gardens. Encircling the
garden area with walks would provide viewing and access for people with
walkers/wheelchairs.
4. Please provide a dedicated pedestrian path (or easement for future construction)
along the northern border of the site. This path would ultimately connect to
Carmel Drive via Chase Court.
The Department recommends these items be forwarded to the November 2nd
Subdivision Committee for further review.
