Narrative
Midwest ISO 701 City Center Drive
Proposed Data Center Expansion
This submittal consists of the construction of a proposed expansion of the Data Center for
the existing Data Center of the Primarily Control Center for Midwest ISO located at 701
City Center Drive in Carmel, 11N. The proposed construction will be located in the south
parking field of the existing building, consisting of a 35,750 square feet, single story
building. This proposed building is considered as an Accessory Building as per
Ordinance 20D.03. The entire proposed structure will not be permanently occupied and
therefore shall be considered non occupied, therefore not subject to any parking
requirements.
As per conversations with DOCS, the existing building parking requirements shall be
based upon the "occupied" portions of the existing building. Therefore, we have
deducted the square footage of those elements that are non occupied; i.e. mechanical,
electrical, etc.
Since the 701 the 720 buildings are connected via a pedestrian connection, the total
required parking count can be calculated based on the total square footage of the
combined buildings. Furthermore, the 720 building has the capacity which exceeds 1
space per 400 SF vs. the required 1 space per 300 SF as required by Ordinance. The
existing 701 Building' total gross building area is 98,273 SF. Of that, 11,771 SF is non-
occupied and dedicated to equipment rooms, leaving a total of 86,502 SF. Based on a
parking requirement of 1/300, 288 parking spaces are required. The proposed plan,
including the new Data Center, will provide a total of 209 spaces. The deficient 79
spaces will be accounted for in the 720 Building, thus leaving sufficient parking for a
future expansion of the 720 Building.
The exterior of the proposed expansion will match that of the existing building in terms
of color, materials and color.
The height of the proposed structure meets the requirements of Ordinance Section
26.02.05. CI iS4a/Ve bft,L'n bidjs-
The required building base landscaping meets the requirements of Ordinance Section
20D.07
The existing pole mounted parking lot light fixtures have been eliminated and wall
mounted, shielded HID light fixtures have been added to the building. The net affect is a
reduction in the total foot candle levels within the area.

Angie,
This Memo shall serve as our Narrative and Calculations related to the Parking Analysis.
The existing 701 Building contains a total of 98,273 Gross SF. Of that, 11,771 SF is non occupied
Equipment Area. In previous discussions, you had agreed that we could exclude that area, as it relates to
the parking requirements, thus reducing the Gross SF to 86,502 SF. Based on a ratio of 1 space per 300
SF, we calculate that 288 parking spaces are required.
The proposed Data Center Expansion will occupy a major portion of the south parking lot. This building
will be an Accessory Use and be un- occupied, thus requiring no parking. The total parking spaces on site,
taking into account the displaced parking, will be 209 spaces, leaving a deficit of 79 spaces.
Since the 701 Building and the 720 Building are linked via a Pedestrian Connector, you had indicated that
we can include any excess parking on the 720 site to the 701 site. The 720 Budding contains 133,440
Gross SF and 652 parking spaces vs. the required 445 spaces, Ieavinga surplus of 207 spaces.
By allocating 79 spaces from the surplus parking of the 720 Building to the 701 Building, we will be left with
a surplus of 128 parking spaces.
Please call should you have any questions.
