CARMEL PLAN COMMISSION
DEPARTMENT REPORT
July 18, 2006
3H. Docket No. 06050020 PP: Clay Creek
The applicant seeks to plat 30 lots on 30 acres.
The site is located on Hoover Road north of 116m Street and is zoned S 1.
The applicant seeks the following waivers for the proposed plat:
06050022 SW: SCO Chapter 6.05.07 Orientation of Home - request to allow
dwellings to face internal street
06050023 SW: sca Chapter 7.05.07 Clearing of greater than 15% of mature
woodlands.
Filed by Charlie Frankenberger for MHE Development Co. LLC.
The applicant is requesting approval of a primary plat to consist of 30 lots on 30 acres.
Please refer to the draft ordinance and proposed site plan submitted with the packet
mailing for full details.
As part of the construction of the site a segment of Meeting House Road would be
constructed. The subdivision is laid out as two cul-de-sacs, both of which would gain
access from Meeting House Road. Because the site is heavily wooded in areas, a waiver
has been requested to allow the clearing of more than 15% of the mature woodlands. Part
of the wooded area is located in the right-of-way of Meeting House Road; however, all
clearing is subject to review by the Urban Forester. The petitioner has also requested a
waiver to allow homes adjacent to Hoover Road and the Meeting House Road Extension
to face inward. Elevations, as well as written site and architectural commitments, have
been submitted to mitigate the inward-facing dwellings.
This item has been discussed at the Technical Advisory Committee. Concerns raised at
that time were related to additional access via stubs; the provision of the multi-use path
along both Meeting House Road and Hoover Road; and the clearing of the wooded area.
Revised site plans indicate stubs to the south and east, as well as the multi-use path along
both rights-of-way.
Petitioner should provide the following prior to the Special Studies Committee Meeting:
1. An update on landscape plan approval status. Given the exiting trees on site, the
Urban Forrester is working to preserve those trees that could be easily included in
required bufferyards and common areas.
2. An update on outstanding Carmel Engineering issues. Many of these issues have
been resolved through the petitioner's design alterations. The petitioner must
touch base with Engineering to identify those items yet to be resolved.
The Department recommends that this item be forwarded to the Subdivision
Committee on August 1, 2006, for further discussion.
