Dear Mike and Sue: This firm represents Clarian Health Partners, Inc. in connection with its development of the Clarian North Hospital Campus at the intersection of 116th Street and Meridian Street (U.S. 31) in Hamilton County, Indiana. As you may be aware, the proposed development affects approximately 107 acres and is currently the subject of a pending annexation proceeding by the City of Carmel. The City of Carmel Redevelopment Commission and Clarian Health Partners, Inc. entered into an Economic Development Agreement which provides for the construction of certain public infrastructure improvements within the proposed development and adjacent streets. I have been informed that the Hamilton County Highway Department ("HCHD") has requested that an Interlocal Agreement be executed between the County and the City with respect to the proposed public infrastructure improvements. Enclosed is a proposed Interlocal Agreement to transfer the approval and maintenance of certain infrastructure from Hamilton County to the City of Carmel and proposed Resolutions of the Common Council of the City of Carmel and the Board of Commissioners of Hamilton County approving the proposed Interlocal Agreement for your review and comment. Our client is requesting that the City of Carmel Common Council and the Board of Commissioners of Hamilton County approve the proposed Interlocal Agreement at their next meeting. Your assistance in seeing that the Interlocal Agreement is placed on the respective agendas of the next meeting of the City of Carmel Common Council and the Board of Commissioners of Hamilton County would be greatly appreciated. Representatives of Clarian Health Partners, Inc. will gladly meet with the appropriate officials and/or their counsel and attend any meetings which are necessary or appropriate. Please contact me at your earliest convenience to discuss the proposed Interlocal Agreement and adoption process, as well as any other questions that you may have.

We must in all candor make the City aware that we have advised Clarian that we believe the City's demands are unprecedented and cause us to seriously question the City's support of the project in general. Nevertheless, in the interest of substantially meeting the City's demands (however extreme they appear to us to be), we would propose to advise Clarian in accordance with the following. 1. Commitment of Clarian to make payments in lieu of taxes to the City if Clarian's status were to change in a way that would otherwise exempt the Area 1-A parcel (i.e., the 60-acre initial development) from the payment of property taxes. a. The City asked for a 100 year commitment. b. Clarian's attorneys would recommend that Clarian accept this proposal for a period of 40 years. 2. Commitment of Clarian that if Clarian ceases operations at the Carmel facilities on the Area 1-A parcel, it will either demolish the facilities or provide for their reuse. a. Clarian's attorneys would recommend to Clarian that it accept this proposal, but with the condition that the cessation of operations be for a period of at least two years before Clarian's obligations arise. 3. Commitment of Clarian to provide security for commitments in numbers 1 and 2 above. a.

A little history is in order. The 1985 Comprehensive Plan was amended in 1988 after six months of study by the Plan Commission and City Council to"define specific objectives and policies to secure the continuation of Spring Mill Road as a residential corridor." Objective Number One was"to maintain the residential nature and integrity of Spring Mill Road from 96th St. to 146a'Street." Policy Number One stated that"Development shall maintain and enhance the residential nature of Spring Mill Road from the western boundary of the U.S. 31 Corridor to Spring Mill Road." Additional Objectives and Policies addressed the existing vegetation and trees, and minimizing traffic growth on Spring Mill Road. The 1991 Comprehensive Plan incorporated the same language. The 20/20 Vision Comprehensive Plan of 1996 incorporated the same policies into its Land Use Map and Thoroughfare Recommendations on pages 5-5, 5-6, 5-7, 6-10, and 6-11. The directives of the City Council regarding the location of Illinois Street continued and confirmed the policies in their Memorandum of July 13, 2001. This proposal is not consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. In fact, a hospital, profit or non-profit, is hardly the"special destination environment"contemplated over the years for this site. The Clarian PUD is entirely speculative and will ensure that no residential ever gets built on this site. The three undeveloped corners of Spring Mill Road become the next targets. The Spring Mill Road Amendment has been the guideline for development, both commercial in the western U.S. 31 Corridor and residential along Spring Mill Road, since 1988. Spring Mill Road is one of the premier residential streets in our community and the greater Indianapolis northside and is residential in its entirety. Why is the Comprehensive Plan not first and foremost in this discussion? incerely, udith F.

The location and configuration of the north entrance into the site off of Illinois Avenue. 2. The location of the north section of the internal loop drive. It was moved 22 feet to the north. 3. The configuration of the semi-circular parking area to the east of the MOB entrance. The new configuration allows closer and more convenient parking to the MOB entrance. 4. The configuration of the ambulance drive and canopy. The revision allows better coverage of the ambulance. 5. The relocation of the head-in parking paces adjacent to the southern pond. These spaces are now added in the semi-circular parking area. 6. The reconfiguration of some remote parking spaces adjacent to the central plant. 7. The addition of sheet C4.2 and L7.01. 8. Further reflllement of the plaza areas to the immediate north and south of the hospital, resulting in less paving and more landscape. 9. Addition of a berm between the semi-circular drive and parking lot on the west, to better hide the parking area. 10. Addition of some landscape features and fountains to further develop and soften the site.

The following comments need to be addressed and/or plans/applications updated accordingly: POO Ordinance: 1. Approval Process: a. The proposal is a Preliminary Development Plan for the entire parcel covered by the PUD, not just area I-A and I-B. b. The filing of the DP and ADLS for the Hospital constitutes the Final Development Plan for Area I-A. c, Amend the Administration section to require future approval of a Final Development Plan and ADLS for all other parcels (area I-A on file now). Section 3.B and Administration section of your PUD requests only ADLS for future parcels. This is not adequate. d. Strike Section 3 .B (iii). It should read that all Development within the POO shall comply with the development requirements of the POO. Are you proposing something other than this with the "substantial compliance" wording? 2. Area I-A: a. We request a minimum building height of3 stories and 38' for area I-A. No minimum has been proposed. b. A 200: setbackalong US 31 for Hospital Building is excessive. Please reduce. Refer to the 90' build-to-line in the US 31 Overlay Ordinance as guideline. c. How should words like "intended", "similar" and "generaIIy" be viewed in the building setback context as written. Please use language that leaves less room for interpretation. This applies throughout the PUD. d. The minimum building setback along 116th Street should be greater than 20'. Based on the proposal it could be 300+/-. If you want to guarantee the open buffer area along the street at this location please revise setback e. Based on the other development standards I do not find it necessary to provide a minimum lot width. f. Based on the intent of area I-A the minimum ground floor area of 15,000 square feet Page 1 ONE CIV1C SQUARE C\R1VffiL, INDLA..NA 46032 317/571-2417 "',- u u 'li. appears small with tbe exception of the physical plant. Please increase to a minimum of 30,000 s. f. and provide exception for physical plant, if necessary. g. Based on your language in the F.AR. section there is no point in providing one unless you think that there is the potential that a 150' tall building from setback line to setback line will be constnlcted with the adequate amount of parking within to meet the required number. However, we do want to encourage the use of structure parking at this location. You may want to establish a maximum FAR that guarantees structured parking if a future expansion becomes a reality. The ultimate "highest and best" use of this property should not include the proposed level of surface parking. If a parking structure is envisioned as part of the future expansion you may want to give the Commission and Council an idea of where it may be located. h. Provide justification for not requiring a loading berth for a building ofless than 40,000 s.f. m area. 3. Area I-B: a. Based on the permitted uses could one reason that the hospital, in area I-A is not permitted to include a fitness center or child care center. These uses may want to be included in area I-A as accessory if provided within the hospital building. b. We request a minimum building height of 3 stories (occupiable floors) and 38' for buildings that do not front illinois Street. No minimum has been proposed and a single story is not acceptable. c. We request a minimtun building height of 2 stories (occupiable floors) and 26' for buildings that front lllinois Street. No minimum has been proposed. d. Based on setback requirement along illinois Street is it required that a lot with frontage on TIlinois Street will have to have a building within 30' of the right-of-way? e. Based on the other development standards I do not find it necessary to provide a minimum lot width. f. Again, your language in the F.A.R. section appears redundant based on other standards. Let me say again that we want to encourage the use of structure parking. This area should be restricted from becoming, exclusively, more surface parking to meet the requirement of the hospital once it expands. g. Provide justification for not requiring a loading berth for a building of less than 40,000 s.f. m area. h. Strike second part of sign section and incorporate into first part. Splitting the language into two sections is redundant arid confusing. 4. Area 2-A: a. Area 2-A could be eliminated in favor of moving requirements to Section V. on Landscaping. The range in area is misleading at best. The space could be between 130' (to made 3 acres) and 440' (for 10acres). This area is a 130'+/- buffer, with a trail no closer that 100' to the property line, betvveen the residential to the north and the proposed uses within areas 2-B, 2-C, and 2-D. If you intend to make it something more than that then define it better. !fyou leave the language the way it is you will fate the Plan Commission when you come back with a plan that takes out seven acres of the woods for development and only be able to tell them that the PUD ordinance language allows it. 5. Area 2-B: a. Provide a larger minimum lot size and ground floor area more closely associated with the proposed uses. If you feel it is necessary to keep these minimums please provide .an exhibit illustrating the minimum configuration for review. b. Based on the proposed uses a minimuf!1 of 25,000 square feet seems more realistic. Even at that we are not going for a outlot type situation. We want to see larger buildings with multiple users. Page 2 ONE CIY'1C SQUARE CARlVIEL, INDIANA 46032 317/571-2417 ..... u u \ c. Section D.2j.4. provides standards for 200,000 plus sJ. building area. Is the size of area 2- B (2-3 acres) adequate to accommodate uses this large? Please advise. 6. Area 2-C: a. With buildings as large as proposed (minimum 10,000 s.f.) you may want greater flexibility in building height. Perhaps 40+/- feet talL b. Good building size. Would like to see something closer to this for area 2-B. 7. Area 2-D: a. Good standards on achieving mixed-use, larger buildings. 8. Area 2-E: a. Based on the language and renderings within the Design Guideline section it appears the development standards will not guarantee this type of construction and layout. b. The typical outlot situation which could be created under these requirements is not preferred. The lower building heights, combined with one acre lots could result in an outlot situation. 9. Landscaping: a. Stick with the per 100' standard as opposed to square footage as proposed in Section V.EJ .a. What you propose translates into 2 trees (1 shade and I ornamental) and 5 slrrubs per 100 linear feet at a minimum 5' wide strip. b. Change "Spring Mill Road, 116th Street" in Section V.E.3.b to all public right-of-way. c. What are the required planting materials (units) within planting areas adjacent to Primary Use buildings? None are specified. d. Section V.H.l.e. calls out, "Interior Areas:" Is this an error/typo? e. Be explicit that the planting strips are not cumulative. I assume that a parking area next to a street will not need a 30' setback (two 15' planting strips, one for parking and the other the front yard planting strip). Other areas of the Carmel Unified Development Ordinance are cumulative. 10. Lighting: a. Add restriction to read that require light standards within 90 feet of Spring Mill Road right- of-way to be a maximum of fifteen (15) feet in height. Thisi5 consistent with US 31 Overlay requirements. b. Move design related information into Section VII on Design Guidelines. 11. Design Guidelines: . a.' All of the renderings show two-three story buildings yet the text only requires 1 Y2 story structures. Please revise. We request a minimum of two-story structures in area 2-D and 2- E. b. Request to see regulations added to address sign theme as well as building design. 12. Traffic I Roadway Improvements: a. Provide a copy ofthe Traffic Study for review. Conunents related to the study will be made once received. b. The right-of-way for illinois Street is 120' pursuant to the Thoroughfare plan. A 120' full width right-of-way is sho\VT1. It is my expectation that improvements vvill need to be made within the right-of-way to provide dedicated left hand turn lanes into the site at each full- access entrance in addition to the two tluu lanes in each direction. Please revise plans accordingly. In addition, street trees and buffer plantings are required within the right-of- way. Please provide these plans. c. Access should be limited onto Dlinois Street. One additional access point on the west side (other that than across from the two proposed cuts into the hospital) onto minois Street would appear adequate. Revise language in Section VITI. A. 3 .b. to reflect this. d. Revise Section VID.A.3 .a. to require access to be aligned with northern most hospital cut. e. Add language to the above noted section restricting access to area I-B to the proposed Page 3 ONE CIVIC SQUARE CAIUvIEL, INDLiLNA 46032 317/571-2417 \. u u " northern most hospital cut. f. The right-of-way for Spring Mill Road is 100' pursuant to the Thoroughfare plan. Revise plans accordingly to illustrate a 50' half. g. We are requesting that a minimum of one public right of way (80' width) be provided between ll1inois Street and Spring Mill Road. It would seem practical that the street would run between the main hospital entrance and a location somewhere within the middle 1/3 of the site along Spring Mill Road as proposed. h. Revise Section VIII.B.2.b. to allow no more that one such cut on either side of the major interior access noted in the same section. 1. Revise Section VIII.B.2.d. to strike, "to Spring Mill Road," and to read Final Development Plan as opposed to "ADLS". J. The right-of-way for 116th Street is 150' pursuant to the Thoroughfare plan. A 70' ha1fis shown. Revise plans accordingly to illustrate a 75' half. We request a non-access easement be provided along the frontage of the site abutting 116th Street. Based on the plans that we have seen from the state I hesitate to support the "emergency access" proposed on 116tl1 Street. I think an alternative to thi~ location would be along Dlinois Street just north of the proposed pond along 116tl1 Street. This would eliminate the need to come back and negotiate a change in the future in addition to the fact that you will have west bound traffic on 116th street trying to turn into the site via this entrance regardless what it is signed. Please provide additional justification. 13. Other General Requirements: a. Move this section into Section VII on Design Guidelines. 14. General: a. Please forward a letter with a site plan of the proposed DP to the Commissioner of Indiana Department of Transportation advising him of the proposal and requesting any comments. If you have any questions or if I may be of assistance please do not hesitate to call.
