AVAILABILITY AND CONNECTION FEES
34. The Availability and Coooections Fees are current as oftbis date but are subject to future
revisions.
a. Availability (acreage) Fees must be paid after all other Engineering Department
requirements have been satisfied and prior to approval and start of construction activities.
Availability Fees are based upon total pl.atted acreage or legal description acreage for the
development at the current rate of$I,OIO.OO per acre for Water Availability and
$1,365.00 per acre for Sanitary Sewers. Based upon the legal description on Sheet CIOO,
the preliminary Availability Fees are:
b. Water - 14.742A @ $1,OIO.OO/A = $ 14,889.42
Sanitary Sewer-14.742A (a>. $1.365.00/A=$ 20.122.83
Total 14.742A @ $2,375.00/A = $ 35,012.25
c. On July 2,2007, a Development Application Review Fee of$150.00 became effective.
This fee is based upon developments with one customer requiring a water connection
($300.00 for two or more water connections). This fee is to be paid with Availability
(acreage) Fees.
35. Connection Fees are paid with individual buildings after the infrastructure has been
completed, satisfactory test results obtained and the development has been released for
building permits. Coooection Fees are based upon the proposed final use of the building.
Connection Fees are based upon EDUs and should not be confused with Water Availability
Fees, which are acreage based. Based upon the square footage as outlined on Sheet C201,
the preliminary Connection Fees would be:
a. Water - 175,000 ft2 (5-story) @ 0.5 EDUs/I,OOO ft2 (Office Classification) == 87.5 EDUs
87.5 EDUs @ $1,396.00 Water Connection Fee/EDU == $122,150.00
b. Sanitary Sewers - 175,000 ft2 @ 0.5 EDUs/IOOO ft2 (Office Classification) == 87.5 EDUs
87.5 EDUs @ $795.00 Sanitary Sewer Connection Fee/EDU = $69,562.50
c. Total COIUlection Fees - $122,150.00 + $69,562.50 = $191,712.50
36. If an irrigation system is planned for this development, additional Water Connection Fees
will be assessed based upon the size and usage of the system and upon the recommendations
of the Director of Carmel Utilities.

RE: Opus North Landmark @ Meridian Building #2
Storm Water Technical Standards Variance Request
Dear Mr. Lewis:
Thank you for your letter dated October 12,2007 received on October 17, 2007.
PREVIOUS REVIEW COMMENTS
Firstly, the Department wishes to resolve comments from previous reviews of the
recently approved Opus North Building # 1 Parking Improvements. The email issued on
November 8,2007 concerning approval of the Opus North Building #1 Parking
Improvements, which read: "I will look to resolve Item 47c with the review of the Phase
II plans presently being reviewed. This comment may be considered satisfied for the
purposes of this review" was related to Comment #11 of my email dated 10/31/07, which
read: "Previous Comment 47c. Thank you for your response. However, as previously
requested, please verify the Department's lUlderstanding of the overall plan to maintain to
the best extent possible the basin lines of the master plan and to acknowledge that phase 1
and phase 2 were previously approved without post-construction BMP's, that phase 3
would be designed to the Storm Water Management Ordinance, and that any portion of
phase 2 directed into the south pond would be treated per e-mail dated February 1,2007
from Paula Gartner".
To summarize, the original understanding was as follows:
1. In developing the remainder of the site, Cripe would maintain the existing basin
lines to the best extent possible.
2. The Department acknowledged that there were no Storm Water Quality
requirements for the previously approved Building 1 and Building 2 area of the
site.
3. The remainder of the site (the portion ofthe site outside of the area associated
with the previously approved Buildings 1 and 2) would comply with the Storm
Water Quality ordinance.

Storm Water Technical Standards Variance Request
Page 2 of3
4. Any portion of the area associated with the previously approved Buildings I and 2
now modified to drain to the south pond would be treated.
As it relates to Item I, provided that the final pond configuration results in detention
facilities that are adequately sized for the final contributing watershed delineations and
that any existing piping installed with Building 1 that are to receive nmoff from revised
watersheds are confirmed for adequate capacity, this comment may be considered
resolved.
As it relates to Items 2, 3 and 4, please see the comments below related to the requested
vanances.
STORM WATER TECHNICAL STANDARDS VARIANCE REQUEST
As it relates to the requested variances from the City's Storm Water Technical Standards
Manual, the Department offers the following comments outlined below:
1. Variance #1: Requirement for two BMP's.
Thank you for providing treatment for 68% of the site with at least one Best Management
Practice. While this is indeed above the initial City goal of 41 % (per the original
understanding based on the watershed delineations of 2005), the area of the site outside
of the area associated with the previously approved Buildings I and 2 was to comply with
the Storm Water Quality Ordinance. The Department still requires that 41 % of the site be
treated by two BMP's and cannot support this variance request. While it may not be
possible to design and/or construct the proposed detention ponds as part of an overall
water treatment system as you have indicated, there are other options that could be
considered. Also, due to the fact that the site is voluntarily over-parked from what the
Ordinance requires, the Department cannot fully assess the ability to design and construct
the ponds as such. The Department would be happy to work with you and the developer
to evaluate options to comply with the provisions of the Ordinance.
2. Variance #2: Pond Cross Section
The Department cannot support this variance due to the fact the interest of public safety
would be compromised by not providing the required pond cross section. The safety
ledge requirement was established as a standard for public safety. While the Department
understands and is sympathetic to the restrictions of the site and the need to import fill
material, these hardships cannot be weighed against public safety. As with the Variance
Request #1, due to the fact that the site is voluntarily over-parked from what the
Ordinance requires, the Department cannot assess if the ponds could be made large
enough to provide the required detention, the required safety ledge as well as provide the
required amount of excavated material to balance the on-site earthwork.
3. Variance #3: Storage Volume returned to 90% capacity in 48-hours
Due to the restricted release rate, the Department will support this variance request.
4. Variance #4: Detention ofTP R/w

Mr. Graham M. Lewis

StonnWater Technical Standards Variance Request
Page 3 of3
The Department cannot support this variance request. This standard does not consider
existing roadway drainage infrastructure or outfaIls. The City may take the necessary
steps in the future to utilize this detention volume/capacity. As per Variance Requests #1
and #2, due to the fact that the site is voluntarily over-parked from what the Ordinance
requires, the Department cannot assess if the ponds could be made large enough to
provide the required detention.
5. Variance #5: O.I-foot drop through all stonn structures.
The Department will support this variance request.

RE: Opus Landmark @ MeridiaD Generator Building-Project Review #2
Dear Mr. Laystrom:
The City has received your comment letter and drawings dated August 10,2007 based upon the City
review oOuty 29,2007.
Please incorporate the foDowing remaining comments into revised plans, submit a minimum oftive or a
maximum of seven sets of revised plans, and the City will approve the plans.
PROJECT COMMENTS
15. Typically, the plans approved by the Department of Engineering do not include the landscaping
plans or details. In this case, the Department will approve the set with this information, but Scott
Brewer must approve the landscaping plan presented on the set submitted for approval prior to the
Department of Engineering approving the drawings.
16. The Sheet C200 has the top edge cut off. Please ensure that the sheet submitted for approval is a
complete sheet and that the north arrow is correctly indicated.
28. 29. Thank you for your response. The Department still assumes that a connection is required to
the existing gas and telecomm that will require a trench in the right-of-way. If this is the case, this
will require additional right-of-way pennits and bonds. Please have the contractor work with Fred
Glazer.
Based on additional review, the Department provides additional comment:
1. Plans submitted for approval shall include City curb policy and City standard curb and gutter.
Delete current curb detail on detail sheet.
If you have questions, please call me at 571-2441.

RE: LUdl11ark at Meridian - BuiJding #2
Dear Mr. Lach:
We have reviewed the construction plans submitted to the Hamilton County Swveyor's
Office on August 31, 2007 for this project and have the following comments:
]. This proposed project falls within the incorporated limits and MS4 jurisdiction of the
City of Cannel.
2. The P~osed project DOES NOT fall in a Carmel Wen Head Protection Zone.
3. The proposed project falls within the W.R. Fertig Regulated Drain Watershed,
4. Please submit an indirect outlet permit for the discharge into the W.K Fertig Regulated
Drain. The application. is available on our website at http://www.co.harnilton.in.lJ.B., go
to Departments, Surveyor. and Forms.
5. It appears the 6)tisting pond does not have a .stable outlet structure and the channel to
the existing twin culverts is not stable. The construction plans do not sbow any
improvem.ents planned for this area. HeSO would recommend channel improvements
and stabilization of the area, along with a true outlet control structure on the pond.
Earthen weirs are easily changed by human or natural causes that can change the flow
and exceed the allowable rel~e rate for the site.

6. All other drainage requirement of the Cityo(CarmeJ and Crossroad Engineers must be
satisfactorily addressed.
7. With the outlet permit, please submit a final setofeonstruction plans or drainage
calculations Mth any revision that arc made at the request of the TAC agencies.
8. Please note the additional comments may be warranted at a later date.
Should you have any questions, lean be reached at 3l7-776-8495.
