Providence Shoppes at Old Meridian Phase 2 (07070060 DP/ADLS) September 18, 2007
Providence Shoppes at Old Meridian - Phase 2
07070060 DP/ADLS
Project Description
Background
Buckingham Companies is pleased to present Providence Shoppes at Old Meridian Phase
3 for Development Plan and ADLS approval. This third building along our Old Meridian
Street frontage will bring another highly successful mixed use building to this area as
well as introduce some advanced design, site, and construction methods.
The Providence Shoppes at Old Meridian are located at the northeast corner of Carmel
Drive and Old Meridian Street (opposite of Meijer). The existing phase one construction
is nearing completion and full occupancy, and we now are moving forward with this third
building. While this structure will be very similar to those in Phase 1 – we are building
upon the success of the first phase and further refining the style, function, and livability
with this new proposal.
Innovative Design and Construction
This new building will be comprised of ground floor commercial uses (15,200 sq ft), and
2 upper floors of one bedroom apartment units (16 units per floor, 32 total units). The
commercial spaces are designed to accommodate restaurant, retail, and/or office uses as
permitted by the zoning ordinance. These uses will front Old Meridian, with patrons
parking to the rear of the building, or on the streets. The 32 loft apartments are accessible
via rear doors that lead to 2 stairwells and an elevator. The units will consist of high end
amenities featuring stained concrete floors, upgraded countertops and appliances,
exposed ductwork, 9’-10’ ceilings, balconies on all units, expansive windows, as well as
natural and environmentally sensitive finishes. We have designed the building to be
LEED Certified (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) and hope that it will
provide a solid example of superior construction and site design. See the LEED tab for a
brief description of this program and for a summary listing of the innovations that are
currently incorporated into the site and structure.
Code Compliance, Variances, and Staff Feedback
This project received two variances at the July 23, 2007, BZA Hearing Officer Meeting.
These variances granted an additional full access curb cut on Old Meridian Street as well
as the approval for this building to exceed 150 feet of frontage on Old Meridian Street.
The project as proposed meets (and in many ways exceeds) the requirements of the Old
Meridian – Village Zone as well as those design and site considerations outlined in
Carmel’s 2000 Old Meridian Task Force Report. This project does not require an
additional traffic study – as the entirety of the Old Meridian Zone was master planned
with full build out traffic anticipated during the City’s 2000 Old Meridian Task Force
Report work. This project is designed to the standards and requirements of that plan.
There are no outstanding items of record from Technical Advisory Committee Members
or Carmel Staff (DOCS, Engineering, and Urban Forestry).

LEED Certification
Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design
Providence Shoppes at Old Meridian Phase 2
The Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating
System™ is the nationally accepted benchmark for the design, construction, and
operation of high performance green buildings. LEED gives building owners and
operators the tools they need to have an immediate and measurable impact on their
buildings’ performance. LEED promotes a whole-building approach to sustainability by
recognizing performance in five key areas of human and environmental health:
sustainable site development, water savings, energy efficiency, materials selection, and
indoor environmental quality.
LEED-certified buildings:
• are leading the transformation of the built environment
• are built as designed and perform as expected.
• have lower operating costs and increased asset value
• are healthy and comfortable for their occupants
• reduce waste sent to landfills
• conserve energy and water
• reduce harmful greenhouse gas emissions
• demonstrate an owner's commitment to environmental stewardship and social
responsibility
Given the unique location of this project and its mixed use aspect, it provides an excellent
opportunity to explore the LEED certification process and strive for a formal LEED
Certification. A minimum of 26 points are required for this certification. Our goal is to
build the first fully certified LEED building in Carmel, Indiana.
The points outlined below are those that will be achieved through our current designs,
plans, and scheduled processes. While our goal is to achieve certification, the total points
may change as we begin construction and learn of new opportunities and better explore
the feasibility of some items. Note that the certification process will be completed after
construction – and is estimated for late 2008.

Signage Explanation
The Old Meridian Overlay – Village Zone specifically states that the Providence at Old
Meridian PUD shall apply for this project. As such, the ground signage locations and
style are adapted from that particular ordinance. The following pages depict these
permitted locations and styles for the site as well as the building. The governing building
signage regulations are also included. Similar to phase one – signage for the site will
require a formal sign permit from the City of Carmel, but will not require additional
review from the Plan Commission Special Studies Committee.

GENERAL LANDSCAPE & PLANTING NOTES
1. Plant material to be installed and maintained by a qualified and experienced landscape installer.
2. All materials are subject to the approval of the Landscape Architect and Owner at any time. Landscape Architect to inspect all plant locations and plant bed
conditions prior to installation. Stake all plant locations for review and approval by the Landscape Architect before planting. On-site adjustments may be required.
Plants are to be freshly dug. Transporting of plants shall be done in a manner as to not destroy the natural shape, compromise the health, or alter the characteristics
of plant materials.
3. Rootballs shall meet or exceed size standards as set forth in 'American Standards for Nursery Stock'. MAIN LEADERS OF ALL TREES SHALL REMAIN INTACT.
Remove from the site any plant material that turns brown or defoliates within five (5) days after planting. Replace immediately with approved, specified material.

treatment.
6. The Contractor shall install and/or amend topsoil in all proposed bed areas to meet ASTM D5268 standards. Landscaper shall verify depth and quality of topsoil
prior to plant installation. A minimum of 4" of topsoil is required for sodded areas; 12" for plant beds. Topsoil sources shall include the reuse of surface soil stockpiled
on site, clean of roots, plants, sod, stones, clay lumps, and other extraneous or foreign materials larger than 1". Supplement with imported topsoil from off-site sources
when quantities are insufficient. Do not obtain supplemental topsoil from agricultural land, bogs, or marshes. Inorganic amendments, organic amendments, and
fertilizers shall be used to amend topsoil as needed for long-term plant health.
7. Verify all utility locations in the field prior to beginning work. Repair all damaged utilities to satisfaction of the Owner and Operating Authority at no additional cost.
8. Install all plant material in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. Coordinate with the Owner to obtain any required permits necessary to complete work.
All workmanship and materials shall be guaranteed by the Contractor for a period of one (1) calendar year after Final Acceptance.
9. Maintain all plant material for a three (3) month period from date of Substantial Completion. Maintanenace shall include pruning, cultivating, watering, weeding,
fertilizing, restoring plant saucers, spraying for disease and insects, and replacing tree wrappings. Recommended long-term maintenance procedures shall be
provided to the Owner before expiration of this period.
