CARMEL PLAN COMMISSION DEPARTMENT REPORT June 19, 2007 4H. Docket No. 07040023 DP Amend/ADLS Amend: Justus Business Park, lot 2- Justus Office Building The applicant seeks site plan & design approval for an office building. The site is located southeast of 136th S1. and Pro Med Ln. and is zoned B-6!Business within the US 31 Overlay. Filed by Paul Reis of Bose McKinney & Evans for Justus Home Builders. The petitioner seeks site plan and design approval for an office building. This proposed office building is very similar to the office building presented with the Jackson Square PUD (planned Unit Development) rezone (Docket No.s 05020038 Z and 05020039 DP! ADLS), which was approved by the Plan Commission in 2005, but was ultimately denied by City Council in July 2005. Now, the only major difference is that town homes are no longer proposed, the office building location has shifted east, closer to Kensington Place, and the building architecture has been modified slightly. The office building design is the same, but the building has increased about 10,000 square feel, and a walkout basement level has been added. The site is currently zoned B-6 Business, which permits office land uses. No rezone is required for this office building proposal. Per commitments recorded with the land when the original B-6 rezone was approved, a 50-ft tree preservation area will be maintained along the east property line. Also, bio retention areas and some permeable pavement will be utilized to make the site more environmentally friendly. Please see the petitioner's informational packet for more detail on the site plan and building elevations. Currently, no variance requests will be sought from the Board of Zoning Appeals. The following are outstanding issues/concerns from DOCS: 1.) The petitioner should provide Engineering Dep't approval updates. 2.) The petitioner should provide Landscape Plan approval updates. Scott Brewer, City Forester, has not seen revised plans yet. 3.) The lighting plan should be amended to meet the foot-candle requirement of the US 31 Overlay. 4.) Provide the Floor Area Ratio (FAR). The Department of Community Services recommends the Plan Commission forward this item to the August 7th Special Studies Committee meeting for further review.
