Westwood Estates (Secondary Plat and Construction Plans)
The site is located on the south side of 141st Street 1/8 mile east of Towne Road. The site is zoned S-1/Residence - Estate.
Filed by Rich Kelly of EMH&T for Justus Home Builders, Inc.
Present for Petitioner: Tom Raymond, Justus Homes, Inc.; Chris White, CRWhite Dev.; Rich Kelly, EMH&T
The petitioner intends to construct all 53 lots at the same time—no phases. The Primary Plat was approved in December.
Jenny Chapman, Hamilton County Surveyor’s Office, previously talked about surveying the open channel after approval—Kent Ward NOT in favor and would like survey done now so that when
approved, everything shows. Plantings are in the drainage easement on lots 17 thru 21—will need to be moved. The adjacent property owner would like tile left in place and easement
intact—County will maintain easement. Subsurface drain and swales should be 6 inches rather than 4 inches. Will get formal comment letter to petitioner.
Chuck Shupperd, Vectren Energy, says there is gas on 141st Street and access no problem.
Steve Broerman, Hamilton County Highway, has not yet finished review. Question as to jurisdiction of 141st Street—entrance permit required from City? Engineering to respond. Steve
Broerman will contact Carmel Engineer Kate Weese. Improvements included to 146th Street? Jon Dobosiewicz responded in the affirmative. Steve Broerman should finish review tomorrow
and will fax letter to petitioner. Petitioner asked about installing decorative asphalt at crosswalks and where paths/trails cross the street. Steve Broerman says Highway has never
before allowed stamped, decorative asphalt, but will look at it. Steve will run by the County Engineer. Jon Dobosiewicz echoes Steve Broerman’s comments regarding the asphalt. Also,
request alignment with Saddle Creek—north drive is off by 15 feet and may need letter to align opposing lefts. Steve Broerman will include in comment letter.
Jim Blanchard, Bldg. & Code Enforcement, asked if there were any wells, septic or field tanks. Chris White responded in the affirmative—also existing home on the site is a separate
owner and may or may not be incorporated in the plat. Construction trailer, maybe a sales trailer, and a Model Home will be on site. Jim Blanchard requested elevation for those lots
around the detention pond. Chris White said the lots for sale will be identified with signs centered on the lots. No earth is to be moved until demo permit is issued. Permit will
also be needed for the construction trailer.
Jon Dobosiewicz, DOCS says there is a commitment on real estate to the east to install path. Jon will get 10 foot asphalt path across Sweet Charity property.
Gary Hoyt, Fire Dept is OK with ground sign—shows on the landscape plan.
John South, County Soil & Water sent petitioner a letter—request petitioner Rip-wrap channel from 141st Street culvert going into pond—make sure that what is constructed is stable—needs
to be appropriate to handle water. Suggest petitioner check rock damage on swale—may be overkill—suggest alternatives. Petitioner will address all comments by end of week.
Todd Snyder, Carmel Parks & Rec., No comment
Petitioner expects to address all comments by the end of the week.
Bill Akers, Communications, said addresses have been assigned and list given to Lynn with new street names.
Jon Dobosiewicz, DOCS, requested ramp or connection for path to street show on construction plans. Scott Brewer has forwarded comments on landscape plans, no additional concerns. Jon
D will furnish letter regarding secondary plat, Docket numbers and monumentation—will provide specific language on pathways/public access easements. Recommend street addresses be removed
from the plat—can furnish detail later. Housekeeping item: signature on secondary plat by County Commissioners and signature of owner of lot 54.
The Anderson Corporation (Primary Plat)
The site is located on the south side of 146th Street 1/4 mile west of Spring Mill Road. The site is zoned S-1/Residence – Very Low Intensity.
Filed by David Barnes of Weihe Engineers, Inc.
Present for petitioner: Charlie Frankenberger, attorney for Anderson Corp.; Jim Anderson and Darlene Lovenz, The Anderson Corporation; Dave Barnes of Weihe Engineers; Larry Kemper,
Nelson and Frankenberger.
Petitioner is requesting primary plat approval and subdivision waivers pertaining to property on the south side of 146th Street between Ditch and Springmill Road. The Plans show a
rectangular property with Ponds West and Merrimac to the north; to the east and west are larger tracts, unimproved.
Jenny Chapman, Hamilton County Surveyor’s Office, sent letter to petitioner requesting non-enforcement permit. Sidewalk looks to be in easement, need non-enforcement agreement and sanitary
permit for crossing legal drain. Currently County has no legal access to drain for maintenance--Construction plans need to show legal access—need to make sure.
Chuck Shupperd, Vectren Energy said gas will come out of Merrimac for access.
Steve Broerman, County Highway, has submitted comment letter. Need to deal with entrance permit—has met with Dave Barnes and Jim Anderson concerning some issues, nothing further to
add.
Charlie Frankenberger said they could clear 30 feet and retain trees of quality value and aesthetics. The County does not permit trees to remain in dedicated right-of-way—nothing with
the magnitude of 146th Street. Charlie will consider asking the County Commissioners. Steve Broerman said the final authority would be County Commissioners; at present, no schedule
for removing trees on 146th Street—petitioner can make request of Commissioners.
Jim Blanchard, B/CE, confirmed there are two buildings on property, wellhead, septic—no field tanks known. No earth to be moved until demolition permit on file. Also, Phase I Environ.
Assessment report to be filed. Petitioner not likely to need a construction trailer. Elevations for lots 5 and 6 required, 2 ft. above base flood level. Permits required for demolition
and model home.
Gary Hoyt, Fire Dept., The concern at 146th Street would be the boulevard entrance—engines would be coming from the east and it would be a tough, tight turn. Petitioner will remove
stubby/raised portion for smoother access and work with the fire dept.
Sharon Prather, Panhandle Eastern Pipeline, has no facilities involved.
Dick Hill, City Engineer’s Office, will get comment letter. The Annexation Ordinance now in effect gives City jurisdiction over storm drains on 146th Street.
John South, County Soil & Water, sent comment letter. There are soil issues--basements are not recommended with Brooks soil; would recommend subsurface drainage. Currently reconsidering
the pond. Pond 2 will be tough to maintain and will be a haven for algae and weeds.
Todd Snyder, Carmel Parks, no comments
Bill Akers, Communications 9-1-1, requests street names be submitted.
Jon Dobosiewicz, DOCS, requests updated set of latest revision of plans. Pathway and sidewalk modifications have been made and needs to show on plans. Dept recommends eliminating
sidewalk on the west side of the street between pathway connection on interior street and 146th Street. Petitioner still working with the entrance; not sure if waiver is needed. At
Secondary Plat, more detail on dimensions and locations of facilities will be needed to find a logical connection point for pedestrian crossing.
Steve Broerman not sure where pedestrian crossing should be located—probably at major intersections.
West Carmel Center, Block B, Lots 3 & 4 (Secondary Plat)
West Carmel Center, Block F (Secondary Plat)
The applicant seeks approval of two Secondary Plats. The sites are generally located south and east of 106th Street and Michigan Road within the West Carmel Center Subdivision. The
sites are zoned B-5/Business and B-3/ Business respectively and both are subject to the US 421 Overlay requirements.
Filed by Michael B. Jett of American Consulting, Inc. for 421 Realty, Inc.
Present for petitioner: Craig Fogarty, American Consulting, Paul Reis, attorney, The Hamilton County Surveyor has requested the addition of a drainage easement along the east property
line of Block B.
Jenny Chapman, Hamilton Co. Surveyor’s Office, has looked at Block B, not yet looked at Block F. Jenny will talk with Steve in her office and get with petitioner.
Chuck Shupperd, Vectren Energy will run service through school site, no problem.
Steve Broerman, County Highway, has no additional comments beyond letter submitted
Jim Blanchard, DOCS/BCE, no comment
Gary Hoyt, Carmel Fire Dept., sent review letter, questioned what is planned for construction on this site---Mike Jeff does not know at this point.
Sharon Prather, Panhandle Eastern Pipeline, says easement language should be excluded from Lot 4. Panhandle Easement Pipeline Instrument number needs to be consistent at the top too.
John South, County Soil & Water, no comment on the plat.
Todd Snyder, Carmel Parks & Rec, no comment
Bill Akers, Communications 9-1-1, no comment
Jon Dobosiewicz, DOCS, no additional comments on Block B. Requests verification for Block G to the south not yet submitted for signature, identify area as Block G—notation adequate.
Add Key Map showing illustration within Carmel Center of 2 blocks. Block B, additional right-of-way—illustrate new property line as dark solid line. Illustrate monumentation between
two blocks. Block F, narrow strip between Commerce Drive to the west, part of Block E? Yes. Again, Key Map is requested. No further comments at this time.
The Ridge at Hayden Run, Sections One & Two (Secondary Plat and Construction Plans)
The site is located on the south side of West 141st Street approximately one half mile west of Towne Road. The site is zoned S-1/Residential Estate.
Filed by Dennis Olmstead of Stoeppelwerth & Associates, Inc. for Centex Homes.
Present for petitioner: Tom Kutz of Centex Homes; Ed Fleming of Stoeppelwerth & Assoc. The project is located west of Towne Road, south of 141st and connects to 141st. Section I is
30 lots, Section II is 28 lots. The timing is probably the first part of July for commencing construction and will contact utilities via the “800” number.
Jenny Chapman, Hamilton Co. Surveyor’s Office, sent comment letter, will get petitioner on next Agenda for Drainage Board meeting (2nd and 4th Mondays).
Chuck Shupperd, Vectren Energy will bring gas from subdivision on corner to entrance of proposed development. Petitioner will probably be ready in September for trenching and dry utility
hookups.
Steve Broerman, County Highway has not yet had an opportunity to review plans. Will fax comment letter asap, hopefully by the end of the week.
Jim Blanchard, DOCS/BCE. Petitioner states no homes or building to be demolished. Jim requests elevations at lowest opening, 2 ft. above base flood level, for lots around the retention
pond. Lots to be identified prior to permits being issued. Petitioner states probably will have a construction trailer from Lakes at Hayden Run—no model home.
Gary Hoyt, Carmel Fire Dept, sent review letter to Ed Fleming—no amenity in this section. Petitioner will probably develop in sections, I, then II in the late fall. Fire Dept. concerned
with long sections of road and would prefer cul-de-sacs. Petitioner has temporary turn around stub to the east; 2 stubs to the south and temporary cul-de-sac where there are houses
in section I.
John South, Soil & Water, sent review letters on sections I and II. Section I needs identification of sediment basin, assume lake #2 like #1. John South would like to see justification
for needed size—identify temporary sediment basin. D-1 watering specification might be appropriate, D-1 watering to go through filtering device before discharging. Regarding construction
sequence, if I and II built together, need to see combined erosion control plan. If to be built separately, submission is OK. Section 2—seeding comments.
Todd Snyder, Carmel Parks & Rec., no comment
Bill Akers, Communications 9-1-1, 7 or 8 street names submitted thus far. Petitioner will follow up.
Jon Dobosiewicz, DOCS, Construction plans—lake #1 indicates emergency overflow—outlet only? Yes. Lake #2 shows improvements offsite for drainage—lake part of secondary plat that has
been filed? Petitioner responds in the affirmative. Jon requests an easement to be recorded from point 1 to lake #2. Cross-check against primary plat to verify location of stub.
Location in section I where path crosses, need access ramp for crossing—aligning with intersection an option. Regarding property north of 146th Street—petitioner currently has under
contract. Jon says petitioner should plan for identical situation—align decel/accel with north side of 146th Street. Jon prefers consistent improvement along 146th Street – hope is
petitioner can work with property owner to the north for minimum level of improvement between Roehling’s property and across the frontage, i.e. 3 feet for lane improvement, maximum would
be to carry 10 foot asphalt path—could be an easement. Petitioner will plat Section III within one year. Jon says area slated for annexation February, 2004. If any difference between
City and County standards, petitioner should be aware and prepared to make revisions/concessions.
Coordination of 141st Street/Overlay, petitioner will go before TAC in January 2004. Tom Kutz states right-of-way may become available from Gould—will verify before week’s end. Recordable
instrument for plat—nothing needs modification. Secondary Plat is Trinity only —not Centex and Trinity.
Steve Broerman, County Highway, will get digital for entrances, etc in that area, to Ed Fleming.
Clay Terrace (Final Development Plan & ADLS)
The applicant seeks approval of a final development plan. The site is located at the southwest corner of US Highway 31 and East 146th Street.
Filed by Michael B. Jett of American Consulting, Inc. for the Lauth Property Group.
Present for Petitioner: Fred Simmons, Simmons & Associates, Inc.; David George, ACE Engineering; Mark Jang, Lauth Property Group. The project is a lifestyle center that incorporates
Rangeline Road with the Center. Most of the buildings will route along Rangeline with a couple of outlots. The petitioner has met with the sanitary people and the water people and
private utilities.
Jenny Chapman, County Surveyor’s Office, requests drainage calculations
Chuck Shupperd, Vectren Energy no additional comments from last meeting with petitioner.
Steve Broerman, County Highway, (also Joel Thurman) have met with David George, Mark Jang, and road designer to get through issues. Will continue to meet to resolve issues. Nothing
additional at this time.
Jon Dobosiewicz, DOCS, various and sundry questions. Improvements are required to south side of US 31 on Rangeline—nothing seen thus far as having been submitted to the State for to
accommodate improvement to Rangeline at “on ramp” at US 31. Request petitioner provide detail of intersection that addresses termination of sidewalks. Sheet C3-1 ground signs identified
appear to encroach into right-of-way—should be resolved. Jon requests detailed info on right out only to minimize inappropriate use. Right-of-way for Rangeline dedicated as a separate
instrument? Petitioner says yes—all part of TIF and swap for Rangeline Rd. Jon D is of the assumption that everyone is proceeding with the understanding that the County has jurisdiction
over the frontage road. Petitioner will talk with Joe Downs who has been involved with Mike Howard. Signage: Out of right-of-way of Rangeline/US 31. Still not clear how access will
be given to residents in the area. Petitioner states there will be a new entrance to Walters Plaza—will need an easement. There will be a frontage road vacated to Clay Terrace.
Additional right-of-way along 146th Street to be dedicated closer to the west side of the property.
Jim Blanchard, DOCS/BCE asked about demolition on property. Petitioner states2 homes on 146th will be demolished, one in the middle part. There are wells on the property. Jim Blanchard
will need Phase I Environmental form—no earth moving until demo permit on file. Petitioner expects to start moving earth late April or early May; could start in March clearing trees.
Majority of project to be done late 2004, with a few in-fill buildings. No time frame on sale of outlots at this time. Best guess on initial phase will be 15 buildings at 400/500,000
square feet. Developer will probably submit shell construction—each tenant will have tenant improvements on top of that. Petitioner will submit schedule when known. Jim asks for detail
on construction—all exits to be illuminated. Petitioner requests construction trailer. Jim Blanchard says pre-submittal meeting will be required—checklist to be tendered by Petitioner.
Gary Hoyt, Carmel Fire Dept., has met with Mark and Dave for a preliminary look. No utility plans received—petitioner will submit. Nothing further at this time.
John South, County Soil & Water, will require a full set of erosion control plans. A number of issues to be addressed. John South recommends sitting down with petitioner and getting
concepts before full plan. 404 and 401 Permits needed. Clearing and demo – Need full set of erosion control plans before clearing starts. John South requests calculations for sediment
basin volumes for adequacy.
Dick Hill, City Engineer, has major concern with road plans. Will get comments out later—Kate Weese will email traffic signal and specs. Both Engineer’s requirements and Board of
Works requirements will be sent to petitioner.
Bill Akers, Communications 9-1-1 says addressing will be discussed at Committee and comments sent to petitioner, probably as each shell comes in—then tenant suite numbers assigned later.
Nothing additional at this time.
Jon Dobosiewicz, DOCS, says Scott Brewer has met with petitioner and discussed—no final plans for review. This will be a complex issue to submit to Plan Commission. Jon D would like
to sit down with petitioner to break it down by quadrant. There are variations on what Jon has received from RTKL and other drawings—would like additional attention paid to “marrying”
those two together. Design and layout issues that have not been addressed: end-capped islands in front of Bldg. A-4 opposing other end-capped islands—Jon would like to see those maintained;
if it needs to be a smaller size, OK, but not too small that it won’t accommodate trees. The parking lot is at an angle based on easements and there was more setback/distance at one
end or the other; Jon D would prefer to see the line maintained along the easement line or setback, and angle the drive rather than trying to make the driveway perpendicular to the drive
for maximum space between areas—petitioner will work with Scott Brewer. Plantings should not be in the right-of-way of 146th Street—no trees, but can be low-growth type of shrub.
Jon D also asked for basic drawing for reconfiguring parking area. 11X17 drawing showing island, parking, etc. Requests petitioner provide exhibit for location of pavement types and
sidewalks. Petitioner will coordinate with Jon D, County, and City Engineer.
Clarian Hospital North - (Rezone/Preliminary Development Plan and
Final Development Plan for Hospital site only)
The applicant seeks to rezone a property from B-3, B-6, and S-2 subject to the US 31 Overlay Zone to a Planned Unit Development District. The site is located at the northwest corner
of US 31 and 116th Street.
Filed by Joseph M. Scimia of Baker and Daniels for Clarian Health Partners, Inc.
Present for petitioner: Joe Scimia and Roger Kilmer, Baker & Daniels. Also Design Team: Jamie Poczekay and Kathy Berger, American Consulting Engineers; Teresa Davis and Danny Babin,
HKS, Inc; Boyd Zoccola, Hokanson Companies; Leah Hales, SWA.
Clarian Hospital complex is proposed at 116th and Meridian. Three (3) petitions have been filed, limited to ADLS and DP issues. Plans have been submitted to TAC members. The project
consists of several components, part of an overall, 107-acre development, approximately 50 acres devoted to the hospital complex located on Illinois Street as extended and Meridian Street
north of 116th Street. The hospital complex would consist of approximately 400,000 square feet, 5 occupiable floors plus a penthouse on the sixth floor, a 150,000 square foot medical
office building joined in the center by an atrium and a 15,000 square foot utility plant to serve the project. The building materials are primarily brick and Indiana limestone. The
project is currently planned for surface parking area located on the north and south of the primary building and would also accommodate future expansion pads. A Sign Package has also
been submitted.
Jenny Chapman, Hamilton Co. Survyor’s Office, sent comment letter to Jamie Poczekay – nothing additional at this time.
Chuck Shupperd, Vectren Energy, sees no problem with layout for gas utility off 116th Street and the utility power plant following utility corridor along road. Petitioner should contact
commercial representative for Vectren for load-bearing. Nothing additional.
Steve Broerman & Joel Thurman, Co. Highway – Site to be annexed to City? Joe Scimia responded in the affirmative, however probably not in effect prior to approval of Development Plan
for area west of Illinois Street extension. Current request is for Rezone—no improvements planned at this time but anticipate commercial development in the future. The PUD allows some
commercial and residential components, low-rise office building, etc. County Highway has no formal comments as yet—waiting to see results of formal traffic study—will address and get
to Jamie Poczekay.
Joel Thurman said there are proposed intersection improvements at 146th and Springmill—County is in land acquisition phase of project. Will go forward as soon as right-of-way is required.
Traffic Study prepared?
Joe Scimia’s response: There has been discussion about the possibility of adding 16 additional feet of pavement on the round-about at 116th and Springmill. Because it is not exactly
known what will be developed west of Illinois Street, there has been discussion as to whether or not to plan to accommodate traffic that will be generated by the hospital complex. Also,
the petitioner needs to be flexible enough that in the event of full build-out of the area west of Illinois Street, we need to be able to accommodate the future maximum amount of traffic.
The traffic study will probably be finished this week. In planning for the maximum build-out of property west of Illinois—does it make sense to install additional pavement now or when
it is needed, maybe 5 or 10 years from now?
Jim Blanchard, DOCS/BCE will need a pre-submittal meeting; checklist of requirements submitted to petitioner.
Gary Hoyt, Carmel Fire Dept., met with Teresa Davis and Dan Babin of HKS—concerns of Fire Dept. have been resolved. Requested the addition of fire dept. connection/hook-up in main
corridor of hospital area—will be incorporated into drawings. Everything looks good.
Dick Hill, City Engineer’s office. No comments as yet. Kate Weese to comment and coordinate with County.
Jon Dobosiewicz, DOCS, has not received full information with regard to Traffic Study and up-to-date construction drawings for roadway improvements. Will comment after info is received
and reviewed. Joe Scimia says they have been in constant comment with Kate Weese’s office as well as the County Highway Dept. There are some variables here that must be determined
before those decisions can be made and then revisions made.
John South, County Soil & Water, sent comments on soil conditions and erosion control plans. Needs to be “buttoned up” from start to finish. Any wetlands on site? Jamie Poczekay
says no wetlands on the hospital site; there are on 100 acres and info has been forwarded to IDEM. Less than 1/10 acre impact. John South referred to the 5-10 year buildout on western
half—Joe Scimia says the plan is to keep the ground west of Illinois in crop production for now.
Bill Akers, Communications 9-1-1, says addressing will be for one shell—medical offices will have suite numbers assigned. Bill Akers OK with the proposed design for suite numbers.
Jon Dobosiewicz, DOCS, forwarded comment letter February 4th geared to process and site layout, DP/ADLS for the hospital—specifically the signage plan. Would like to see both signs
identified on west, south, and north elevations of building. Dept would like to see a “marrying” of the building materials and proposed signage. Base materials and color palette?
Letter follow-up, March 7th distribution to Plan Commission members. Would like point-by-point response to comments prior for submission to Plan Commission. Landscape plan does not
mesh with facility. Comments in relation to traffic/roadway improvements regard right-of-way widths, plans have been filed on adjacent properties for consideration. City will need to
do additional work regarding how Illinois Street is constructed (from which to what point). Joe Scimia responded they are working on right-of-way and where road extension goes. Joe
Scimia said comments on the PUD have been favorably received. Joe Scimia will submit PUD draft—most items addressed except for sections and traffic. Jon D has looked at Jamie Poczekay’s
review and comments—nothing additional at this time. Scott Brewer will have comments on landscape plan. Want to make sure on number of trees in planting islands. Return to TAC? No.
Additional meetings to include County and City. Will seek Inter-local Agreements at a future date.
11300 Block of North Michigan Road (Rezone)
The petitioner seeks to rezone a Parcel from S-1 Residential to B-2/Business and R-4/Residential. The site is approximately 35 acres and is located along the east side of Michigan Road
½ mile north of 106th Street.
Filed by Steve Pittman.
Present for petitioner: Steve Pittman, Neil Smith, and Gary Murray. The property is located at 11300 Michigan Road. The proposal is for multi-family condo/for sale, 8 units per acre
under ROSO, with 25% open space. The entry/boulevard must serve commercial to the front and residential to the rear. The plan will provide for easements in anticipation of surrounding
property owners. Depending on what occurs on the opposite side of the street, the project may or may not have an automatic traffic signal north of site on 421. There is an existing
road that serves the REI property and the Church. Previous petition before the Plan Commission provided a stub street; the neighbors opposed, the stub-street was removed, and the County
allowed it. Carmel’s policy has been to provide for connectivity between neighborhoods. The petitioner is willing to provide for the connectivity and will look to Carmel and the County
for direction. The petitioner will also provided connectivity to the north, even though it is a large parcel estate at the present time.
Jenny Chapman, County Highway, no comments on rezone.
Chuck Shupperd, Vectren, has gas facility on Michigan Road — will look at utility for best design.
Steve Broerman, County Highway, will want stub to be shown into the Westons—no problem at present.
Gary Hoyt, Carmel Fire Dept., in favor of connecting stubstreet to the Westons. May have additional comments at a future date.
Jon Dobosiewicz, DOCS, requests Exhibit from petitioner showing existing platted areas and conceptual areas, and collector roadways to intersect with Shelbourne—from Shelbourne and
116th Street to 421 and 116th Street, down 421 to 106th and over to Shelbourne. The message to the Plan Commission is “How important connectivity is, and to show a logical nexus in
dealing with access and connecting areas.” The Dept is also requesting additional information that may include a traffic study in order to give some idea of the distribution of traffic.
The biggest issue to be resolved is where and why a traffic signal would be installed. The Dept would want a stub to the commercial property to the south at a minimum of two points—one
very near the front, (421) and one to the rear of the site (or an easement to access the property.) Jon D’s preference would be to include more area to the north of the site in the
B-2 area and less to the south in the B-2 designation. Altum’s is zoned B-2 all the way to the rear of their site. There would be more compatibility as far as adjacent land uses if
there were more B-2 area along Altum’s frontage and less along the rear of the lots in the Westons. No problem with the number of acres proposed, but the more commercial, the better.
Cherry Creek Estates, Section 1 A & B (Secondary Plat and Construction Plans)
The site is located on the east side of Hazel Dell Parkway north of Cherry Tree Road. The site is zoned S-1/Residential – Low Intensity.
Filed by Dennis Olmstead of Stoeppelwerth & Associates, Inc. for Platinum Properties, LLC.
Present for the Petitioner: Tim Walter, Platinum Properties; Bill Bryant, Stoeppelwerth & Associates. The first phase of development, Section 1A, will include the installation and
paving of Cherry Creek Boulevard, demolishing Cherry Road and starting on Section 1B. Issue: Where Cherry Creek Boulevard ties into Cherry Tree Road—common area on the north side of
Cherry Tree Boulevard—require right-of-way separating ingress/egress easement across? Petitioner will be losing one lot in Section 1B. Tim Walter said the lots on the west and south
side of Platt Drive will be changed to 65-foot lots versus 60-foot lots, resulting in one less lot.
Jenny Chapman, Hamilton Co. Surveyor’s Office, since legal drain is on site, will need to review drain calculations and send comment letter.
Chuck Shupperd, Vectren Energy, realign Cherry Tree Road same time as Section 1 is done, or do the road first and then go into Section 1? Petitioner will build east/west collector,
Cherry Creek Boulevard, and tie into existing Cherry Tree Road. Once that is done, will abandon the rest of Cherry Tree Road. Chuck sees no problem with service.
Steve Broerman, County Highway, site is under jurisdiction of City. The section of the road with the Bridge needs to be reviewed and approved by County Engineer. If 20 feet wide,
the crossing over Fremont/Randall Drain becomes a bridge.
Gary Hoyt, Carmel Fire Dept., said Platt Drive needs a temporary turn-around. The other two are close to either a turn-around or cul-de-sac and there is no necessity. Requests knocksbox
for amenity building.
Mike McBride, City Engineer, has extensive comment letter in draft form. Will review drainage comments with City Engineer before releasing. Will have questions on rear yard swales.
Dick Hill, City Engineer’s Office, asked about building pads in the common area. Petitioner states it is clubhouse location, one building, pool, tennis courts, basketball courts, playground,
parking lot, etc. Dick requests labeling as such on plans. Petitioner is doing earthwork now. Cherry Creek Blvd. right-of-way to be increased in order to fit lots in? Petitioner
states agreement with Kate at primary plat stage was 80-foot right-of-way. Only way to fit the 4 lots on the north side within the right-of-way would be to widen it. Streets designated
with letters—named on plat? Yes. Dick Hill will get comments together and send letter. Platinum will be posting bonds. Cherry Tree will not be curbed. Lanes on Cherry Tree are 24
feet, back-to-back, with 16-foot median. City Engineer allowing petitioner to build the road with no curbs in median, similar to Hazel, however island tips will be curbed to match ultimate
cross section.
Jon Dobosiewicz, DOCS. Requests area between Wildcat Drive and Hazel Dell Parkway be finished to the cross section; Petitioner will comply. On Sheet C-200, the paths outside the right-of-way
need to show as public access on the plat. The path narrows at crossing—Kate may have issue with its proximity at right-of-way to the backside of the curb—two issues: it narrows, and
there is no separation. If the tips of the medians are to be constructed, it would make sense that the areas are defined over the bridge section—should be a 3 foot wide, raised median—will
get details to the Dept. Jon D said the dimension of right-of-way on sheet 1 of 3 for Section 1A is between 80 and 85 feet—needs to show. Signature page for the plats are for Board
of Public Works Board members. The property has been annexed; requests petitioner show non-access easements to, say the middle of lot 5 so that the driveway is as far from the intersection
as possible. Also along the south edge of the collector road, add non-access easement from the end of the radius on the curve over the bridge. Access for parking to the common area
should be off Wildcat Drive. Common Area #2 is called out as a variable drainage and utility easement and landscape maintenance easement. Dept. preference would be to call out the
utility easements and not call them variable. If it is not necessary, would just as soon as eliminate the drainage utility easement. On page 3 of 7 on the plat for Section 1B, the
existing right-of-way from Cherry Tree—called out? Petitioner states there is a house just south of lot 70 and their drive comes out on Cherry Tree Road—there is also a fire hydrant
and right-of-way to be kept in that area. If area is to be dedicated, it needs to be called out more specifically. Must allow for existing fire hydrant. Scott Brewer will have comments
specific to the information prepared by Vine and Branch and will want to see tree preservation on the construction plans. Petitioner will schedule meeting with Kate and include Jon
D. Other items: normal pool and bottom elevation of ponds and monumentation, a few things missing as far as corners and sections. Traffic calming methods have been discussed—directional
walks at intersections. Jon D requests detail on pathway system—will look at the letter from Engineering Dept and probably have additional comments. Existing structure on Cherry
Tree Road to be left as a pedestrian crossing? Petitioner says he would have to re-grade the Fremont/Randall drain, lower the elevation for 100 year flood and would have to reconstruct
majority of drain—bridge will be gone. Petitioner will follow-up with Scott Brewer on tree preservation methods provided by Vine & Branch. Petitioner will include easements around
common areas. Petitioner to provide temporary roadway easements? Jon D responded plat today as right-of-way—will figure out with Section 2.
Jim Blanchard, DOCS/BCE did not receive plans. Two existing houses on property will need demo permit. Jim Blanchard suggests master permitting for homes—Pulte will contact Jim Blanchard.
There will be two model homes, perhaps 3, and will utilize a construction trailer—permit needed.

Filed by Charles D. Frankenberger of Nelson & Frankenberger for GB Hazel Dell Property, LLC.
Present for Petitioner: Charlie Frankenberger, Nelson & Frankenberger; David George, ACE; Craig Rapp, CWRA; Buzz Weifanger, Tom Crowley, Spencer Knotts, Gershman Brown Assoc.
The petitioner has submitted complete, construction drawings. Any and all outstanding issues are to be addressed at this time.
Chuck Shupperd, Vectren Energy will service facility from south-side of Hazel Dell—no problem.
Jim Blanchard, DOCS/BCE requests pre-submittal meeting—gave petitioner checklist and requirements.
Gary Hoyt, Carmel Fire Dept., has met with Gershman Brown representatives and resolved issues.
Dick Hill, City Engineer’s Office, is drafting comments and will send next week. Petitioner will have to go before Bd of Public Works for sewer and water availability. Will need stated
use of buildings to determine user fees. Will need Consent to Encroach into dedicated easements, outlined in letter. Secondary Plat will have to be approved by Board of Public Works.
Comment letter will outline issues. Seems to be a discrepancy between construction plans and plat. Construction plan shows 30 foot drainage & utility easement between building line
and parking. Petitioner will review. Easements should match south-side and east-side. Irrigation system in right-of-way or easements? Petitioner responds in the affirmative. Dick
Hill says may require additional water availability and fees and Consent to Encroach. Request detail for masonry wall and dumpster enclosure. Dick will send comment letter.
Jon Dobosiewicz, DOCS requests up-dated copy of Secondary Plat proposal along with the face of the application—Administrative approval if consistent with previous submittal. Jon notes
discrepancy on plans that reference masonry wall—Dept will need a revised set before petitioner appears at Committee. Petitioner to clarify (dumpster) and will provide overall exhibit
of the center indicating distance from existing residences to this sit—concern is with outdoor seating area compatibility with adjacent residences. Petitioner to show buffer (Hazel
Dell Pkwy) between site and outdoor seating. Petitioner will work out trash removal times. The south-side easement is a buffer area, and parking encroaches—petitioner scheduled for
Variance at March BZA. No additional comments. Petitioner will make revisions to landscape plan and pay close attention to the hedge to comprehensively address the area. The commercial
site to the north is not a big issue. “Don’t mass at the back.” Norway Spruce between dumpster and building OK.
Treasure House (Site Plan Approval)
The site is located at 230 North Range Line Road. The site is zoned B-5 Business and is within the Historic Range Line Road Overlay.

Gary Hoyt, Carmel Fire Dept sent letter—no comments.
Dick Hill, Carmel Engineer’s Office has not yet reviewed revised drawings. Petitioner submitted letter from Trent Newport regarding drainage which states it may be more effective for
site drainage not to have curbs in the back part. Dick will send comment letter.
Jon Dobosiewicz, DOCS asked for revised plans to show dumpster screening—petitioner will fence in—very small dumpster. Jon D will sign off when Engineering approves plans. Probably
will be one-two weeks before issuing Building Permit.
