Rooms of City Hall, Carmel, Indiana at 7:OOPM.
Members present: Stephanie Blackman, chairperson; Rick Ripma, and Leo Dierckman, ex- officio.
DOCS Staffpresent: Angelina Butler and Adrienne Keeling
The Subdivision Committee considered the following items:
1. Docket Nos. 04020033 PP: Bennett Minor Subdivision
The applicant seeks to create a 2- lot minor residential subdivision. The petitioner
also seeks the following subdivision waivers:
#04030010 SW SCO 6.05.01 lots shall abut/have access to a street
904030011 SW SCO 6.05.01 lots shall have a minim of 50 -ft frontage
The site is located at 2020 W. 136th Street. The site is zoned S- 1 /Residence-
Estate.
Filed by Dave Barnes of Weihe Engineers.
Dave Barnes, Weihe Engineers, 10505 North College Avenue, Indianapolis appeared before the
Committee representing the applicant. Also in attendance, Cameron Clark, attorney.
As presented at public hearing, the applicant would like to create a two -lot subdivision on 10
acres. There is an existing home on lot 92 that will remain unchanged; a new home will be
constructed on lot 91.
This petition was by the Technical Advisory Committee. One issue was the easement that runs
from 136 Street to the Bennett tract. The subject tract does not have frontage on 136 Street.
Therefore, waivers are being requested for lot frontage and street access. One of the questions is
maintenance of the easement.
Cameron Clark, attorney representing the Bennetts, addressed the Committee. Mr. Clark
distributed a Maintenance Agreement he had prepared that sets forth the obligation for
maintenance of the two sections of the driveway. The agreement places the onus for maintenance
on the Bennett Subdivision; until such time as the Reeder property is developed, the drive across

the property will be maintained by Bennett. At the time development begins on the Reeder
property, the obligation for maintenance is to be shared one -third Reeder (or developer of Reeder
property) one -third Bennett lot 91, and one -third Bennett lot 92.
Rick Ripma recommend forwarding Docket No. 04020033 PP and accompanying subdivision
waivers for Bennett Minor Subdivision to the Plan Commission with a positive recommendation,
seconded by Leo Dierckman and Approved 3 -0.
2. Docket No. 04010001 Z; Dunkerly Property Rezone
The applicant seeks to rezone approximately 2.4 acres from R -1 /Residence to B-
2 /Business (with restricted uses). The site is located at the northwest corner of
Guilford Rd and 116th St.
Filed by Joseph Calderon of Ice Miller on behalf Mr.& Mrs. Dunkerly.
Joe Calderon, attorney with Ice Miller, Mark Zuckerman and Greg Small, developers, and Craig
McCormick, architect appeared before the Committee representing the applicant.
The property is located at the northwest corner of 116 Street and Guilford Road, approximately
2 '/2 acres. At the time the rezone was filed, a site plan and elevations were submitted for an
office product. The Department requested a slightly different product and site plan and the
petitioner has been working through that issue.
The petitioner met with the Mayor and Jon Dobosiewicz, and was ultimately referred to Les Olds
in continuing to work through some of the issues. As of yesterday, a conceptual site plan is in
being that incorporates pulling the buildings forward, pedestrian access, 10 -foot sidewalk,
pedestrian access, parking to the rear, and a two -story element on the corner. Connectivity is
important and has always been a part of the plan.
At this time, the petitioner is comfortable incorporating a certain amount of limited -mixed uses,
perhaps incidental retail, that either serves this office park or the adjacent office park —coffee
shop, dry cleaner, very light, permitted use.
This site is a difficult comer—high-rise suburban to the west, and existing, suburban residential
uses, Cinergy facility, multi family to the north, etc., transitioning away from high -rise. The
immediate area is suburban in look and feel, and yet, closer to town. It is hoped that the revised
submission is closer to the vision the City has for this location.
The petitioner is willing to eliminate nursing homes, retirement homes, and educational facilities
from the list of permitted uses for this property.
The petitioner will continue to revise and refine the design plan and will return for additional
Committee review on June 1, 2004.
