The lighting fixtures are the same as the CarMax location ut' izes. All of the signage on the
A TM has been reduced except for the "Indiana Members' redit Union" at the top and that is
'less than three square feet.
The mber of drive-through lanes is necessary for c stomer utilization. One lane is for
dedicat drive-through. The parking complies w' the Ordinance.
Department ort, Matt Griffin. Regarding t e ground sign, are the cabinets t1ush-mounted or
recessed into the ick. Has any thought bee given to matching the color of the entire cabinet to
the building elevatio materials?
of the A TM and the coloring is somewhat consistent with
ogo.
Wayne Haney referred to the s tch 0 e louVered door. The dumpster doors should go to the
capstone-would prefer Iou red rather t chain-Link. The dumpster door will match the gray
of the roof, same as in the tanding seam. Mr. aney said he preferred the metal louvered door
to the chain link. Dave oots agreed to make the oor metal louvered doors.
There will be no ac ~ ss directly off Gray Road. Traffic uld turn off Gray Road and connect
with the access ro tl. Traffic will be right in/right out on 96
Jerry Choman uk also felt the number of drive-through lanes was e
petitioner says the number of lanes is justified.

Meadowlark Offke Park is to the south~ to,the east is the Ke,nsington Townhome neighborhood.
There are single-family residences located to the north as well as US 31.
There are significant tree preservation areas on the north side and along the east side of the
property. One ground sign is being proposed at the intersection of Pro-Med Lane and Smokey
Row Road.
The petitioner is proposing a 30,000 square-foot, two-story office building, .and 38 owner/
occupied townhomes io the residential district. The road will be private with a gated entry; the
gate will have a "knox-box" that will allow fire and emergency vehicles access at any time
should the gates be closed. In addition, emergency access is being provided off Smokey Row
Road and off Pro-Med Lane, There are actually three points to access the site for emergencies.
Paul Reis reviewed the history of this particular site. Paul Reis displayed a drawing of the
approved Development Plan for when the site was fIrst being developed, as revised in 1994.
Originally, in 1990, the entire site was zoned R-2; the entite propertywas put within the Overlay
Zone, then rezoned from R-2 to B-6., At that time, there were as series of commitments made on
this propelty. Copies of the commitments were distributed to COIlunittee members.
One ofthe initial commitments l1lade in 1990 stated that the site would be developed pursuant to
a Development Plan. That- Development Plan actually had another street that ran to Smokey Row
Road. [n 1994, an affidavit and additional commitments were made and the road was el iminated,
however, the Development Plan remained which was: Tei County (now Behavior Corp.) the
proposed Justus site, the Meadowlark Office Site, and a park area and proposed lake in the
southeast corner of the site.
Roadway improvements were committed to for Smokey Row Road ano Pro~Med Lane as a part
of this. There were certain uses that were restricted as q part of the commitments, and those are
listed. There was a conmlitment to go through ADLS, and a commitment that there would be 00 -k
office building higher than four (4) stories or 50 feet, whichever is less, Finally, there was a .-.
cOinmitment that said that one of the parcels would only be used for signage pUlvoses on behalf_ l\-
of the entire site. ""f'JA
The second set of commitments that were approved stated that in all ADLS hearings, there would
be a public hearing associated with that'and that was agreed to. Also, there was a commitment as
to a definitive tree preservation plan submitted with eachADLS application. The petitioner has
submitted a tree preservation plan; it has been reviewed and approved by the Urban Forester.
The third commitment was a commitment to contribute to a traffic study for the intersection of
Old Meridian and Smokey Row. This was in 1990 prior to the actual improvements made by the
State. The State owns past the intersection of Smokey Row Road and Old Meridian.
In [994, Behavior Corp. changed their plans, filed for the fi nal Development Plan, and made
additional commitments. One'of those cOl1unitments was to constmct roadway improvements at
the corner. However, within months of the approval in 1994, the State did make the

improvements and there are no additional roadway improvements to be made at Smokey Row
and Old Meridian. The proposed US 31 upgrade will affect the intersection. Mike McBride,
City Engineer states that there is a possibility of a round about being constructed at this
intersection. The intersection is being studied and will most likely be approved by either the City
of Carmel or the State. Currently, the. intersection is within ihe right"of"way of the State of
Indiana.
At the Plan Commission meeting, several residents of Kensington Place spoke concerning the
buffer mea. The approved plan provides for a 50-foot non-disturbance buffer. The reason for
th is significant buffer was that this property was being rezoned to B-6-intense office uses that
are fOlmd throughout the US corridor. Justus Home Bllilders is proposing a slight reduction of
t\1at area to make it 45 feet, primarily to address some of the grade changes moving north to
south as well as to ensure that the drainage is properly addressed in the area.
The petitioner feels the uses are veryc0n1patible-re,sidential to residential. The original
commitmetlt of 50 feet was because of the stark change in uses. Taking off 5 feet should not be
of any great detriment, considering the change in use and that the proposed use provides a much
better transitional use between the Kensington neighborhood and the proposed development.
Secondly, the petitioner looked into the backyard Wildlife Habitat program. It is a part of the
Indiana Wildlife Federation and Justus Home Builders as well as the Homeowners Association is
prepared to participate with Mr. Dockstater on this program. If Mr. Dockstater takes the lead,
Justus will support it-it' will expand the back,yatas 'another 45 feet that can be put into the
Wildlife Habitat area and will enhance the neighbors' t.o the east.
There were some questions concerning LheUS 31 Overlay Zone and this Ordinance. Basically,
the US 31 Overlay Ordinance is the basis for the Ordinance governing the commercial
developrrient area. The retail uses and restrictions and provisions that are in the PUD being
proposed arc identical with the restrictions within the US 31 Overlay Zone.
Again, the 'petitioner feels that all of the uses being proposed are compatible. with the townhome
development located to the east as well as Behavior Corp., the office uses, and the US 31
corridor in general.
Mark Rattet'ffi3.l1n had raised concern at the Plan Commission meeting regarding the parking.
The parking has been revisited and the petitioner feels that based upon the experience, that Justus
,has in developing this type of conununityand the price range of the homes, the petitioner truly
believes that the residents wil1 be parking their cars in the garage, and will avail each unit of four
parking spaces, two above the reciuired. At this point, 4 spaces should be adequate.
Also, there was a comment concerning the gate-Justus feels that the gate feature adds additional
value to the community. However, the petitioner is happy to review again as well. As noted
earlier, access for emergency vehicles will not be hindered in any way by the fact that there is a
gate. There are two alternatives ifthe gate, for whatever reason, malfunctions'. There will be a
"knox-box" that will allow immediate 'access.

Department Comments, Matt Griffin. The Staff has no additional comments and supports this
petition as presented.
Committee Conunents/Questions:
Jerry Chomanczuk asked where a school bus would stop to pick up and discharge children.
Rich Kelly responded that the drawings have been submitted to the School and they have advised
that a school bus would stop at the north end of the townhome development on Smokey Row
Road. The School requested that a sidewalk be provided from the townhomes to Smokey Row
and the petitioner has agreed. The east side of the dri ve to Smokey Row is a grass-paver area for
emergency vehicle access.
Wayne Haney commended the architect for the aesthetics of the development; it blends weLl with
the commercial units. The fencing, railings, everything looks French Provencal and is a very up-
scale development. The apartments make a good transition between the existing residential area
and the commercial use.
Jerry ChomancZLlk said he was also impressed with the architecture, color scheme, and
everything that has gone into putting the plan together. However, there are two on-going
concerns. One is parking for the townhomes. The other is "office buildings" which is really a
mixed use retail-type building wheFe the ground floor will be used fo1"a variety of store fronts.
Paul Reis said that Pro-Med Lane would be able to serve after hours for location of parking.
People will be able to park on the street as well as the large parking area for office buildings.
There are also cross-eaesments. As far as retail area, it cannol exceed 15% of the gross noor
area of the office area. Retail is limited in the US 31 corridor.
Jerry Chomanczuk also expressed concern about the reduction in the buffer area. There were
commitments made in regard to the buffer.
Paul Reis stated responded that the 50-foot buffer was appropriate for an office use adjacent to
residential use. The 50 feet and concern for tree preservation in 1990 an again in 1994 was
appropriate. With the proposed development, an office use is not proposed-far different from
the adjacent property use. The Ordinance requires 20 feet of buffer. There are strict guidelines
iil the PUD about what can happen in there-more strict than were actually in the commitments.
Also, with participation in the backyard habitat program, there may be further restrictions as to
what may go in there. Actually, with what is being given back by the additional language in the
Ordinance, plus participation in the habitat program, the 50 feel is being enhanced.
Mark Rattermann asked where invitees would park if there were a party or private function?
Wally JUStllS responded that each unit has two parking spaces. Assuming the owner uses the
garage, the driveway has two spaces available. There is also parking on one side of the street that

is 26 feet in width, and beyond that, there is parking near the office building and on Kensington.
Mark Rattermann said he would rather see that the banked parking is not "banked" as planned
but constructed now as parking.
Members of the public were invited to speak at this time:
Virginia Kerr, 13595 Kensington Place, referred to the commitments made in 1990. Ms. Kerr
was very concerned regarding thereduction in the. buffer, since commitments were made for a
50- foot buffer. The residents of Kensington thought an adjacent development WQuld be an
office-the proposal is for retail, 26-foot wide lots, and parking is still a concern. There is
difficulty in parking at Kensington Place and the smallest lot is 52.5 feet wide. Ms. Ken" said the
backyard habitat refeLTed to by Mr. Dockstater consisted of bird feeders and birdbaths, and
committing to that is nothing to the residents of Kensington Place. The 5 feet is extremely
important! Is there any reason why there can't be a commitment to leave this as trees as it was
initially stated in the commitments? The street will be considerably more narrow than 26 feet
when measured back of curb to back of curb. Also, if 50 feet has been committed, why can't the
developer leave the 50-foot tree buffer in place? It is a little humorous to compare the proposed
development to where Mr. Justus lives~those lots are considerably wider in Mr. Justus' gated,
residential community-this is not a fair comparison.
Sharon Oldham, 13534 Kensington, reiterated that most residents in Kensington would prefer
an Office development adjacent rather than residential. An office community would not generate
family activity, increase lighting, and traffic. A commercial development would be vacant after
6:00 PM, the building would be dark, there would not be cars, or children/family activity and no
one would be there on the weekends. When people from Kensington Place come home from
work, there would not be any residents next door. Regarding a school bus, Smokey Row Road is
extremely congested during school days-kids on the west side are transported to the high school
and Smokey Row is a very dangerous curve in this location at Pro Med Lane. Ms. Oldl1atn
would prefer that a school bus not stop on the curve to pick up children.
John Kerr, 13595 Kensington Place, spoke on behalf of himself and Kensington Partners. Mr.
Kerr agreed with all comments made by previous speakers who are residents of Kensington
Place. The residents met with Wally Justus on a couple occasions; Mr. Justus stated no
preference as to office/commercial use or residential. It is being presented as a mixed PUD-
obviously Mr. Justus did have a preference. Mr. Kerr asked that the Commission honor the
previous commitment in regard to the 50-foot buffer.
Paul Reis responded to public comments. The 50-foot commitment was made and the reason
why it was determined to be 50 feet was beCaL1Se of the use. When you look at transitional land
use, and in discussion with the Department, it was felt that this proposal is actually a better use of
the land than office. Because there would be residential use to residential use, there would be a
45 buffer should be adequate. Tree preservation will remain intact-in fact language has been
added to improve these types of areas so. that they arc maintained. There seems to be some
concern about noise and lights and commotion. The intent of this community is not one that will

be noisy or any more noisy or have any more lights than the residents of Kensington have. The
residential area is not really set up or designed for families. The developer has no control over
the schools, but if this is an issue, it can be addressed with Mr. Fearrin of the School Corp as far
as the bus pick up location.
Walt Justus said the townhomes are marketed more to the empty nester/adults and young
professionals. There would be very few families and small children; there is no programmed
space for play, etc. Out of 38 units, it would be very surprising if there were 10-15% of families
with children.
John Molitor, legal counsel was asked for an opinion by JenyChomanczuk. "Are commitments
being eroded, and are we setting a precedent?"
John Molitor said the proposal to rezone to a PUD from a business district can be any mixture of
uses proposed by the developer. This matter will go before the City Council and then become a
legislative issue. The City Council is to be guided by the Comprehensive Plan as well as current
condition, character of structures and uses in the District, the most desirable use for the land,
conservation of property uses throughout the community, and responsible development and
growth. These are all somewhat nebulous, but when put together, itgives the City Council a way
to act rationally when is judges whether or not to approve a rezone. The commitments are part of
the rezone issue. The commitments from 1990 nd 1994 are from previous rezones. This is a
new rezone; it replaces the old rezone and replaces the old commitments. The Council must
judge whether or not to approve the rezone; you don't look at the commitments in a vacuum, you
look at the entire package as to whether or not rezoning the property would make sense for the
neighborhood and the entire community. The commitments are just part of the package.
In response to questions from Mark Rattermann, Paul Reis said the property was zoned R-2
residential prior to the rezone to B-6 business. The commitments were tendered because a
portion of the property was in the Overlay Zone.
The public hearing will remain open so that public will have an opportunity for input at the next
Plan Commission meeting as wen as the City Council meeting.
Mark Rattermann made forl11al motion to recommend approval to the full Commission of
Docket No. 05020038 Z and 05020039 DP/AOLS for Jackson Square Planned Unit
Development, conditioned upon the developer installing one-half of the parking at this time
rather than land-banking, (the entry area will be left intact for now and land-banked for
future parking.) The motion was seconded by Madeleine Torres and APPROVED 4 in
favor, one opposed (Chomanczuk.)
*Note: ScottBrewer, Urban Forester should probably review and suggest alterations in
the landscape plan regarding the change in land-banking.
