found online at: http://cocdocs.ci.Carmel.in.us/weblink/DocView.aspx?id=259485. Also, see
attached exhibit. (The location of the 6-ft wide sidewalk, from 1315` Street up to the building, is
acceptable, but please add a path around the perimeter of the building's parcel. If not, a
variance for this can be combined with the variance request to vary from the adopted site plan;
see item 32.)
e. Please provide the bike rack details.
f. Please provide the wall sconce light details/specifications, if applicable.
g. Show label street lighting, per the adopted city style (chapter 20G.04.04); please work with the
Engineering Dept. to see if they will require lighting along 131 ~` Street.
h. Please consider using LEED or `green' building practices, such as a white roof, solar panels,
pervious pavers in all or part of the parking area, etc.
i. Have you considered a parking structure near the building that would bring all parking spaces
closer to the building, rather than this large expanse of parking?
j. It is our understanding that you have had conversations with Browning Investments about a
future possible connection to/through the residential area to [he southwest if/when it is
redeveloped for business use. Please provide us with your preliminary plans on this.
2. The Department would like the Plan Commission to keep in mind the pending Rezone of the
subdivision just west of this site to B-6/business and Old Meridian -Mixed Use. Vehicular and
pedestrian connectivity will be important if that rezone is approved.
3. Engineering Dept is still reviewing the plans.
4. The Forestry Dept has reviewed the plans and comments were provided to the petitioner.
The Dept. of Community Services recommends the Commission forward this item to the October
30 Special Studies Committee meeting for further review and discussion.
