The approval of this variance will not be injurious to the public health, safety, morals and general welfare of the community because: This directional traffic signage is required for safe ingress and egress of vehicles. 2. The use and value of the area adjacent to the property indudedin the variance will not be affected in a substantially adverSe manner because: The directional traffic signage will be kept at as. low of a height as practical.

VICE PRESIDENT NE\V CARMEL ELEMENTARY SCHOOL 'f" 14200 River Road SITE IMPROVEMENT SUM~MARY FEB 11 S h Overview The site consists of 2] acres located at 14200 River Road. The site is zoned S- ]. A school is a permitted special use within this district. All of the adjoining properties are vacant(ab'Ticultural ground). The development will consist of a single-story, masonry and steel-framed elementary school, along with play areas, and paved, curbed parking lots and drives. The school will front River Road, v.;th a parking area for visitors and child drop-off/pick-up in the front of the school, serviced by a drive off River Road. A separate drive, for safety reasons, will be provided from River Road (near the southeast comer of the site) for busses, as well as for staff parking and deliveries. The bus and staff parking area will be nearer the rear of the building. The screened truck dock, dumpsters, and mechanical equipment enclosure will be located atthe south side of the building. Refer to enclosed site plans. As a part of this project, separate development standards variances are required for building height (due to the required gymnasiwn), as well as for basic, minimal building identification and site directional signage. Topography/Drainage The existing site consists of fairly level, cultivated ground. Elevations range from 755 MSL near the middle of the site, to approximately 752 at the west property line, and 748.5 at a large culvert crossing under River Road at the east side of the site. The east side of the site drains to the culvert and across a pasture to White River. The west side of the site drains toward the Warner legal drain, located just west of the site. A dry detention basin is proposed in the northeast corner of the site to provide stormwater management for the developed areas of the site. This area will drain via a series of inlets in both paved and grassed areas to a enclosed storm sewer system into the detention basin. The west side of the site \vill remain undeveloped, except for grassed play areas. The runoff to the west will continue to drain to the Warner drain tile. The building floor elevation has been set at 758.0 in order to provide for proper drainage away from the building and surrounding areas and into the storm system. 10505 NORTH COLLEGE A VENUE · INDIANAPOLIS, IHDIANA 46280 G (317} 846.661 f (800) 452.6408 FAX: (317} 843.0546 Pavement, Parkmg and Improvements All parking lots and driveways have been provided with curbs/gutters per City requirements. Curbed, landscaped islands have also been provided as required in the front parking lot. A concrete sidewalk has been provided entirely along River Road as requested, as well as connection from the street sidewalk to the school at two locations. Sidewalks have also been provided internally for safe pedestrian circulation to and from cars, busses, and play areas Parking has been provided which exceeds the required number of spaces per the zoning ordinance. Bus parking areas will also be striped for evening school event parking. A fifty (50) foot half right-of-way has been already provided per deed along River Road (45' half-right-of-way required per thoroughfare plan). See separate summary and plan regarding road improvement along River Road. Landscaping Extensive landscaping has been provided around the building, within the curbed islands, as well as between the parking lot and River Road and the driveways. In addition, a landscape buffer area has been provided along the north and south property lines to develop separation between the school building (and paved areas) and potential, future development to the north and south (currently agricultural land). Site Utilities and Lighting In addition to the aforementioned site storm sewer system, the site wm be serviced with w.ater, sanitary sewer, natural gas, electricity, and cable TV. Water and sanitary sewer service will have to be extended from the Prarieview subdivision (Moffat Farms- Section 3) north along the west side of River Road to the site. A 12" city water main will be extended to the site to provide domestic \vater and fire protection. Due to lack of topographic relief, the School will have to install a private lift station and force main to the gravity sevv'erin Moffat Fanus to provide sanitary sewer service. It may be possible in the future, when adjoining properties develop, that the school can be tied to a gravity sewer system. The cooperation and assistance of the city utilities department was instrumental in resolving these issues. Lighting has been provided for safety and security, while ensuring that light spillage does not adversely impact adjoining properties, even though they are vacant at the present time. See enclosed lighting plans and details for further information. ~ .. I WEIHE ENGINEERS, INC. Civil Engineers Land Surveyors Land Planners ALLAN H.WEIHE, P.E., L.S. PRESIDENT MICHAEL L. DJ;BOY, L.S.
