U Explanation The Anderson Corporation is the owner of approximately 4.87 acres located south of 146th Street, west of Springmill, and east of Ditch Road. The real estate is outlined on the enclosed aerial photograph. It is zoned S I-Residential. The Anderson Corporation is requesting primary plat approval, under the Residential Open Space Ordinance, to permit a truly unique, custom, empty-nester community to be known as Ballantrae. The community will feature 9 homes of European design, incorporating such "old world" materials as brick, stone. and stucco. Ballantrae will include a walking path which meanders throughout the property, along with abundant open space and a pocket park with a lake. Maintenance of all grounds, including both common areas and lots, will be provided in the form of irrigation, fertilization, mowing, and snow removal. The synergy of these features will establish a truly lmique, custom, empty-nester community. This unique community, as illustrated by the enclosed drawings and information, will require waivers from the requirements of the Subdivision Control Ordinance pertaining to frontage on a public right-of-way, tree clearing, and standard open space. In this regard, it is noteworthy that 41 % of Ballantrae will be open space, significant trees will be preserved, and meaningful landscaping will be planted. Drawings illustrating Ballantrae are contained in this informational brochure and include site/landscape plans, plat renderings, entry detail, an illustration of the pocket park. and sample elevations. Also included are commitments insuring the custom, empty-nester characteristics of this community. We look forward to presenting this matter to you on May 20,2003.

Specific areas are outlined on the Plat. Single trees can have a significant impact on the community. All individuals, developers and contractors on the site shall follow each standard of the tree protection plan with care. All planners, utility and construction crews and individuals associated with the development shall be made aware of each standard and specification along with the consequences for violating them. Penalties and reforestation conditions are to be incorporated in the specific site specifications of the final plan. General Standards u u u u u 1. All woodlands and trees to be preserved shall be enclosed by an appropriate construction barrier, such as a snow fence, and identified by signs stating "Tree Preservation Zone" prior to commencing any land disturbance. Fences need to remain in place during all phases of construction. They are not to be removed lUltil the construction is finished unless the Director of the Department of Community Services of the City or the City's Arborist gives written consent. 2. The protective zone for woodland groups and specimen trees should be specified in the final plan, but shall be no less than the total area beneath the trees' canopy defined by the farthest canopy of the tree(s) plus an additional 5 feet, except as noted in the Architectural Standards. 3. Designated material and debris holding areas along with construction parking areas should be established at least 25 feet from any preservation zone. 4. Prior to commencing any land disturbance, a meeting shall be held with the City Arborist and representatives from the Developer, contractor and Builder. o 5. Ifthe trees being preserved will be affected by construction activities, the individual trees need to be listed in the site specifications. If there are branches or roots that need pruning, it should be done by trained personnel using equipment designed specifically for that purpose. For installation of utilities, tunneling or directional boring is encouraged to limit the destruction of the root systems. Any trenches affecting tree root systems should be immediately backfilled and mulched or covered as addressed in the erosion control site specifications (327 IAC 15-5 Rule 5). u ~-1 U u u [J u u o u u u o u u 6. Areas adjacent to tree preservation zones shall be mulched (a minimum of 6') to provide additional protection to tree roots. Care needs to be taken, especially around driveways and "housepad" areas so that no substantial disruption, or removal of major roots, takes place except by approved plan, or with the City Arborist's consent. 7. No materials or construction debris should be stored, discharged, or abandoned in the tree preservation zones. This includes but is not limited to construction materials, paint, oils, solvents, asphalt, concrete, wash-out, etc. This also includes backfill that substantially changes the grade over any root system. 8. No equipment or construction traffic should be driven or parked within the tree preservation zones. 9. The developer shall agree to keep an arborist on staff until completion of the construction proj ect. 10. Post-construction tree care and maintenance (including watering) of newly planted vegetation should be specified in the fmal plan site specifications. Summary r ' U The object of these standards is to provide construction practices that will cause the least amount of destruction to a property's assets, namely its trees. The developer voluntarily adopts this tree preservation plan. The general standards and site specifications should be closely followed and not changed unless prior approval is given in writing from the community development director or city arborist. u [j o u , 1 LJ H:\Janet\Anderson \ 146lh -Carmel\Comrnitrnenls 050703.doc u u [j U- '- .
