DEPARTMENT REPORT
July 2, 2002
8. Docket No. 66-02 DP AmendJADLS; Hamilton Crossing Building #S (Revised)
The applicant seeks amended development plan and ADLS approval to construct an
office building. The site is generally located at the southwest comer of 131 st Street and
U.S. Highway 31.
Filed by Blair D. Carmosino of Duke Realty Corporation.
The applicant is requesting approval of a Development Plan and ADLS for the construction of an
office building. The site is generally located at the southwest comer of 131 st Street and U.S.
Highway 31. Please see the informational packet prepared by the applicant for an overview of
the site and proposed building. The Department in its review has asked the applicant to address /
provide the following:
The following items are those that require additional attention/discussion:
1. Approval of the DP will recognize that the identified setbacks conform to the
Thoroughfare Plan, specifically, Resolution No. 08-07-003 addressing the intersection of
131 st Street and US Highway 31. The applicant will not be dedicating the area bound by
the north property line, existing US 31 right-of-way and the "proposed ramp right-of-way
property line". However, approval ofthis DP will ensure that there will be no
improvements placed within the area that may frustrate future acquisition by the State of
Indiana for the purpose of constructing an interchange. The State has not adopted a final
plan for the construction of improvements at this intersection. However, the existing
Thoroughfare Plan ensures that a reasonable configuration is protected for the layout of
an interchange.
The applicant may return in the future to request a modification to the proposed DP that
would include improvements within this area. The Plan Commission would only have
the ability to approve such plan if the Thoroughfare Plan is amended.
2. Landscaping: A revised plan is being prepared to address all Department concerns. It
will be available by the committee meeting date.
3. Signage: No signage is being proposed at this time. A future ADLS amendment will
need to be submitted to address signage if none is submitted with this application.
4. Lighting: Is the proposed lighting consistent with the other sites within Hamilton
Crossing?
The Department is in support of this request subject to adequate resolution ofthe above items.
The Department recommends that this item be forwarded to the full Plan Commission with
a favorable recommendation after all comments and concerns have been addressed.
