The site is located at 211 First Street Southwest. The site is zoned R-2/Residence within the Old Town Overlay Zone. Filed by Balay Architects for the Carmel Clay Historical Society. Rob Bennett gave an overview of the project. This is an -archival and a conservation center for the Historical Society. The improvement will go on the existing'site. It will go between the red building and the gray cottage house to the south, to the east, and join the Manon TraiL Basically this is a temporary storage for their artifacts. It is not planned for visitors. The building is approximately 36' in length in a north/south direction and 18' in an east/west direction. The Society is requesting three variances for the site. First is a parking requirement. They are not adding any parking to this site. Second they are asking for a variance the on setback. The third variance is for a residential district. JeIlllY Chapman, Hamilton County Sm-veyor's Office. No Comments. Chuck Shupperd, Vectren Energy, If you are using gas for heating, please complete the appropriate form. The customer data sheet states what will be used for load requirements, line, and equipment. After submitting the form and evelything is approved, call our service representative at our 800 number then push option 6 to get a service request into the system. With the turn of weather, it is imp0l1ant to get this going as soon as possible to avoid the backups. Dick Hill, Carmel Engineering. Faxed a letter to Mike Balay, architect. There is not enough information on the drawings to give a proper review. We need the civil set with the topo, driveways, utilities, etc. We will hold our comments until we receive the civil drawings. Scott Brewer, Urban Forester Department of Community Services. I usually review the landscape plans. Those have not been completed at this time. As it stands, you will not meet the buffer yard requirements in a residential zone. That can be another variance. STI1Ce you are removing some trees, I would like to see those replaced with a variety from the list I can provide. The landscape plan should show the trees to be removed and the ones you will install. John Soutb, Hamilton County Soil & Water. This is a small project under the requirements of Rule 5 Erosion Control construction site; thus, the City of Carmel will address that in their review. Gary Hoyt, Carmel Fire Department. Passed a letter to Mr. Bennett. My question is about- the temporary storage building and whether it will have another use doWn the road. Rob adds it is an archival storage for the artifacts that will go into the historic building. They have changed their exhibits. My understanding is that their current storage is the gray cottage. Tins is not to be an office. They have a tentative restroom planned. It has not been made clear if it will be public or private. Tom Rumer notes they might get into the building once or twice a week~not on a daily basis. Bill Akers, Carmel 911 Communications. No comments. We already have an address. Jon Dobosiewicz, Department of Community Services. Laurence Lillig with our office is the staff member in charge of this petition. On his behalf, I will say we need to see more information and the civil set. Once you have the civil set in hand, schedule a meeting with Laurence outside this format. If the gas company needs tosee your plans on how you will access, include that information on the plans. All utilities need to be 'on site. If you are showing a restroom facility in the building, show how the sanitary laterals from the street will be accessed. At such a point they decide to implement, you will then have a plan in place. You will not need to go through an approval process again on how to get service to the building. The landscape plans also need to be forwarded to Scott Brewer Page 10 "'0 Carmel/Clay Advisory Board of Zoning Appeals October 28, 2002 Page 11 of 14 as soon as possible. There still is a question regarding the title to the property on which the building will be located. That will need to be resolved before you proceed to the Board of Zoning Appeals. We must have responses from engineering as to the drainage for the site. If there is additional means necessary to provide adequate drainage for the site, the engineering department will be able to answer that once you have submitted the civil set.
