35. The Availability and Connections Fees are current as ofthis date but are subject to future
revisions.
36. Availability (acreage) Fees must be paid after all other Engineering Department requirements
have been satisfied and prior to approval and start of construction activities. Availability Fees
are based upon total platted acreage or Legal description acreage for the development'at the
current rate of$I,OlO.OO per acre for Water Availability and $1,365.00 per acre for Sanitary
Sewers. Based upon the legal description on the site plan, the preliminary Availability Fees
are: Water- 1.737A'" @ $l,OlO.OO/A = $ 1,754.37
Sanitary Sewer- 1.737A "'@ $1.365.00/A = $ 2.371.01
Total 1.737A* @ $2,375.00/A =$ 4,125.38
"'8.788 acres (Building 1 Land Description current plans) less 7.051 acres (Previously
Approved Building 1 Land Description) = 1.737 additional Building # 1 acreage subject to
Water and Sanitary Sewer Availability (acreage) Fees.
On July 2,2007, a Development Application Review Fee of $300.00 became effective. This
fee is based upon developments with more than one customer requiring a water connection.
This will not be applicable to this project since there are no new or revised water facilities.
37. Connection Fees are paid with individual buildings after theinfnistructure has been
completed, satisfactory test results obtained and the development has been released for
buildingpennits. Connection Fees are based upon,the'proposecUinal us~ of the building.
Since there are no new or revised water or sanitary sewer fa.cilities .ililit are affected by this
development, Connection Fees will not be applicabLe. Connection Fees are based upon
EDDs and should not be confused with Water Availability Fees, which are acreage based.
38. Ifan irrigation system is planned for this development, additional Water Availability Fees
and Water Connection Fees will be assessed based upon the size and usage of the systemand
upon the recommendations of the Director of Carmel Utilities.

J will let GalY Duncan respond to iteJils # 1, #2, #4 and #5. l'he project was rcvievved as a stand-alone project as it came
through TAC as a stand- alone project w'hich generated our requirement comments, particularly regarding r.O,w,
dedication and the asphalt path extension. If the remainder of the Penn St. LO.W., from the Building #1 dedication to
Carolel Drive is to be dedicated with Building #2, T don'l think we would have an issue. Ditto for the Penn 81. Asphalt
Path. Again, I will defer to Gary Duncan.
However, regarding Item #3, the legal description for Bui]ding #1 on the Building #2 plans indicates a total of 8.788
acres. When Phase J. \vas approved by this office, the legal description was for 7.187 acres which excluded the area of the
Building # 1 Parking Improvements. Availability (acreage) Fees were paid on 7.19 acres leaving L 737 acres (which is the
area of the Building #1 Parking Improvement Project). So either Water and Sanitary Sewer A vailabihty Fees will have to
paid on 1.737 acres for the parking improvement project or the 1.737 acres will have to be added to the acreage for
Building #2, 14.742 acres, which is included in the remainder land description on the Building #2 plans (14.742 acres-+
1.737 acres = 16.479 acres).

Dick,
Unfortunately, I did not receive this comment letler. However, here is our response to the comments.
1. There is a history behind the North Curb Cut that everyone needs to be made aware of. The North Curb Cut was
originally designed and approved by the BPWS as we. have it shown on the proposed plans today. After it was approved
the first time, the City Engineers office asked OPUS to change it to be shared with the Hilton Gardens Hotel. This was
started. However, tile work was halted because the new owner of the building did not want this shared driveway because
of their parking needs. OPUS went back to the City Engineer's office and explained this situation. An agreement was
reached to return the drive entrance back to its original design, which was approved by the BPWS.
2. A performance bond is already in place for this work, which was left unfinished. We just need to finish it now.
3. Water and Sewer Fees - Not Applicable
4. A portion of the Pennsylvania Street Right-of-Way has already been dedicated for the Building #1 project. We recently
submitted plans (Landmark at Meridian Building #2) for the remaining development of the site to T AC on August 31 sf
These plans show the proposed Pennsylvania Street Right-at-Way, which will be dedicated as part of that project.
5. Right-at-way permits are already in place from the Building 1 Project. The work in the right-of-way just needs to be
completed.

Graham:
I am still in the process of reviewing the plans for this submittal, but I noticed on the latest plan set by Cripe, that the
plantings in the ROW are marked as "Plantings to be addressed as a part of Landmark -Phase 2" On Brickman's
Building 2 plan there is a note that says, "Remove all Existing Material not shown on proposed plan" and nothing is
shown in the ROW (right-of-way). Do not remove (any) the existing trees located in the ROW (right-ot-way). They were
required to be preserved during the Indiana DOT procedure.
This existing plant material needs to be shown on the plan (and planted around), as well as the ROW lines and where the
tree protection fencing is going to be located.

Hello Graham,
I got you phone message. If all you are doing at this time is a parking lot addition, and there are no structures
involved, we do not issue a building permit for parking lots only. However, as far as I know-you would need
to verify through Angie Conn and Scott Brewer that there are no issues relating to amending the site without
getting prior approval. Additionally, you need to contact the City Engineer's office, regarding any site
plans/requirements they may need. or need to approve, prior to you beginning your work. I have cc'd the three
members of that department in this email-SD that they are aware of the question, as well as Scott and Angie.
If you get to the point where you are looking for a building/structure permit. please feel free to contact me with
any questions.

Angie,
We have resubmitted plans and response letters to everyone that has commented on this project. We never received
comments from several reviewers including Carmel Engineering and Crossroads Engineers. However, with this small
project I assume that they didn't have anything to comment on.
Our client would really like to receive approval for this project so that they can get some work done before winter sets in.
do know that once we have everyone's approval, we need to send about 3 sets of final plans to your office so that they
can be stamped as approved.
Please let me know if tHere is anything else we can do to help finalize this approval process.

Hello Graham,
I got you phone message. If all you are doing at this time is a parking lot addition, and there are no structures
involved, we do not issue a building permit for parking lots only. However, as far as I know-you would need
to verify through Angie Conn and Scott Brewer that there are no issues relating to amending the site without
getting prior approval. Additionally, you need to contact the City Engineer's office, regarding any site
plans/requirements they may need, or need to approve, prior to you beginning your work. I have cc'd the three
members of that department in this email-so that they are aware of the question, as well as Scott and Angie.
If you get to the point where you are looking for a building/structure permit, please feel free to contact me with
any questions.
Thank you,
Sarah Lillard

Hi. Graham - the ILP I was referring to may be required if you have not yet already applied for a building permit
for the building. That is done through the building and code services dept. and Sarah Lillard may be able to help
determine whether or not youneed a building permit. Try this weblink for more info on the building permit process:

Gary,
Yes. Originally the drive entrance was suppose to be shared with the Hotel. However, the owner's of the building do not
have enough parking capacity to share parking with the Hotel. Therefore, the drive entrance is proposed to be on our
property only.

Graham,
Is this for the reconfiguration at the north end to allow the entrance to be moved?

Angie,
We have resubmitted plans and response letters to everyone that has commented on this project. We never received
comments from several reviewers including Carmel Engineering and Crossroads Engineers. However, with this small
project I assume that they didn't have anything to comment on.
Our client would really like to receive approval for this project so that they can get some work done before winter sets in.
do know that once we have everyone's approval, we need to send about 3 sets of final plans to your office so that they
can be stamped as approved.
Please let me know if there is anything else we can do to help finalize this approval process.
Thank-you,
Graham M. Lewis

RE: OPUS Nortb - Building #1
Dear Mr. Lach:
We have reviewed the constmction plans submitted to the Hamilton County Surveyor's Office
on August 3, 2007 for this project and have the following commtnt$:
1. This proposed project falls within the incorporated limits and MS4 jurisdiction of th.e City
of Cannel.
2. The proposed project DOES NOT fall in a Carmel Well Head Protection Zone.
3. The proposed project falls within the W.R. Fertig Regulated Drain Watt:I'Shed..
4. While HCSO agrees with the previously approved drainage calculations and that this
proposal is still within the scope of the master drainage calculations, during the outlet
permit inspection it was noticai the 8" orifice was not installed per the previous plans.
HCSO will have no objections for this parking lot improvement proposal, if the orifice is
installed per the plans and the outlet pennit inspection is finali~ed as part of this project.
s. Flease note the additional comments may be warranted at a later date.
Should you have any questions, I can be reached at 317-776-8495.
Sincerely,
~~
