There is still an outstanding issue related to obtaining permission from the property owner to the west to relocate the existing curb cut due to the fact that the curb cut ~s at a location approved by the BPW. The proposed curb cut does not align with the existing curb cut. Ersal has been in contact with the property owner to discuss this very issue; however they do not have it resolved. Engineering will support approval of the project tonight conditioned upon the petitioner formalizing the commitments below as well as the petitioner providing a commitment to resolve any issues related to property access to the satisfaction of the Department of Engineering prior to obtaining final approval of the construction plans for the project. Thanks so much, Gary Gary R Duncan Jr., P.E.

Regarding these, our resolutions are as follows: I-Regarding the easement for the Southern Land, our filed plans identify a proposed future drive by others and an access easement. If and when the Southern Land is developed, the owner of the Southern Land, at its expense, can (i) install another paved lane on Keystone's land and (ii) connect to the Southern Land. This may require the owner of the Southern Land to relocate utilities, and move the ground sign, etc..., but the ability to connect is identified on the filed plans. 2-Regarding the West Cut, Keystone agrees, at its expense, to move the existing west cut to the south, so that the centerline of Keystone's cut (on the east side of Old Meridian) aligns with the West Cut. Then, if and when the Southern Land develops and another entrance lane is added, the developer of the southern land may be required, in the DOE's discretion, to again relocate the west cut a little further south so that the centerline of the 2 opposing cuts continues to align. 1 ~ 'A ,:i.

Thank you for indicating the proposed ingress/egress easement to the property to the south. The conditions outlined below are acceptable and as we have discussed in the past. As it relates to the West Cut, I believe what has been outlined below is only half of the issue. The ather half of the issue raised by Mike is related to the fact that the existing curb cuts are located as approved by the BPW. What conversations have taken place between the property owner to the west related to the curb cuts? Provided that Keystone is willing to bear the cost to reconstruct the drive, is the property owner still agreeable to a shift in the alignment? Thanks so much, Gary Gary R Duncan Jr., P.E.

In this regard, because plan revisions were nominal and there was very little additional information, at the conclusion of the Committee meeting it was suggested that we need not reproduce the brochures reviewed by the Plan Commission in March but, instead, that we email the minor changes. To this end, I have attached: 1-An illustration of the bike rack; 2-An illustration of the wall sconce light fixture; 3- The greater detail of the sunscreen requested by the Department; 4- The landscape plan revised only to (i) include more landscaping around the dry detention area and (ii) relocate utilities in the utility easement away from landscaping; and, 5-A rendering of the landscape plan revised to better correspond to 4 above. All of the above were previously filed but not included in the Plan Commission's informational brochures. Also, the full- sized, revised landscape plan was previously filed and has been reviewed by Scott Brewer. As always, we much appreciate your help and input. Should you have any questions or comments, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you. Charles D.

Subject: RE: Old Meridian Plaza Charlie, The answers to your questions are below. Christine Barton-Holmes Planning Administrator Department of Community Services City of Carmel One Civic Square Carmel, Indiana 46032 317.571.2424 317.571.2426 fax From: Charlie Frankenberger [mailto:chalie@NF-LAW.COM] Sent: Monday, February 04, 2008 10:09 AM To: Conn, Angelina V; Holmes, Christine B; Boone, Rachel M. Subject: Old Meridian Plaza Hi everyone Thanks you for the helpful meeting and the follow-up letter. I had some questions on the variances: 1- The exterior of our awnings will be canvas or some other non-metallic finish. Consequently, I do not think that we need a developmental standards variance (UDVS") from 20G.04.01.J prohibiting metal and aluminum awnings. Please confirm. No, you would not need a variance for the awnings. 2-The buildings may have a sunscreen for the upper stoty tenants, which will be be painted metal and, as such, will not have a reflective surface. Please confirm that this will not require a DSV. Depending on the design, the sunscreens may be considered awnings, and thus would need a variance. 3-When the awning is included in the length of the building, then the building occupies more than 70% of the street frontage. In light of this, please confirm that a from DSV 20G.05.04C.1 is not required. How much does the building itself occupy? The awnings would not really be considered as part of the building, since they aren't structural, but if the building is close to the required minimum without them, it would be a minor deviation, although you still would need a variance. 4 In the drawings last reviewed with you, one pole light, located within 90' of the closest boundary line of the adjacent residential use, exceeded 15'. We will reduce to 15' the height of this pole light. Please confirm that this replacement eliminates the need for a DSV from 20G.04.04.C. Yes. 5-The vet will occupy about 4,000 SF on the 1 st floor, and about 2,000 SF on the 2nd floor. The 2nd floor use will be office, and the first floor use will be part retail and part commercial kennel. To permit the commercial kennel, we have already requested a use variance. Please confirm whether another variance is also needed with respect to 20G.05.04A.2, allowing only retail on the 1st floor. If so, please adVise about whether this additional variance would be a use variance or a DSV, and please also let me know the amount of the filing fee. 2/512008 Page 2 of2 I believe we could roll the commercial kennel into the retail variance-a kennel instead of retail uses on the first floor-and handle it in one variance. 6-We will need different DSVs for signage. Once the revised sign packag.e is filed, I will confer with you to about the required sign variances, and then promptly supplement the file with the requisite applications. After you review this, please let me know your thoughts. Thanks for your help. Charles D.
