The applicant seeks to rezone approximately 11 acres from R -1 /Residence and B-2/Business
Classifications to PUD /Planned Unit Development. The site is located northwest of 136th Street and
Rangeline Road. Required changes requested by the Committee from our last meeting as follows. Exhibit
2, of your brochure is an aerial of the site. The changes to the PUD Document Exhibit 4, redlined draft
shows the changes made. Additional changes made to Page 5, Section 6.4, Density; as of the last meeting
we were in the process of securing additional parcels, which brings us to 12.2 acres with 140 units. Section
6.5, Square Footage Requirement, we made the commitment that the Townehomes would be a minimum of
1,400 square feet. Page 6, Section 8.3, Landscaping Provisions; did not appear last time we were asked by
the Department to break down landscaping references into sections, changing minimum base plantings eight
(8) shrubs increasing to twelve (12), one (1) shade tree increasing to two (2) per unit. Page 7, Sections 8.4
and 8.5, Perimeter Buffering and Interior Plantings; included those section changes as well. The final
S:\PlanCommission\CommitteeMinutes\Subdivision\20004novO4
ONE CIVIC SQUARE CARMEL, INDIANA 46032 317/571 -2417
change under Section 9, Paragraph 6, Street Lighting; changes made to make language clearer that lighting
will be provided near the intersections of streets and alleyways and along the Monon and Main, as well as
136' Street.
Leazenby: Behind tab 3, is the site plan and the new boundaries are here (pointing to the map). New
site plan to allow 140 units and takes into account Old Town layout and guidelines along
with the Art District to flow with that identity using more courtyards, narrow streets, and
parking behind the garages to reflect the Old Town flare. Tab 5, Appendix A; overall
context of the site in relationship to the planned roundabout at Smokey Row and Rangeline
regarding the on -street parking. The sign entrance in theory will be on the north side of the
roundabout. Appendix B; the radius for school buses and maneuvering through the site
and roundabout was judged good. Appendix D; guest parking ratio is in line with our
calculations. Appendix E; we added land bank parking with total parking to 430 or 5.07
ratio plus on- street parking much like Old Town. Appendix F; driveway lengths 15 -17 feet
enough space to park a car although it is not allowed. We intend to plant tree wells and
trees in the alleys. Appendix H; lighting through the site, indicated by the asterisk, at the
intersections, courtyards, and along the Monon —the lighting fixture is labeled.
Demographics provided by Centex gave us some comparables from a similar project in
Boone County median age mid 30's to low 40's with 61 percent income upwards
$100,000.00 with 2/3 employed executives. Trail extension design is not yet defined
although we do have a conceptual drawing from the Feasibility Plan. We are making the
commitment to provide the necessary right -of -way when Engineering gets those figures.
Shinaver: We are presenting this to the Parks Board at their next meeting.
Dutcher: The other issue you should anticipate addressing is the specific access of your residents
to the trail. We will want to discuss that further.
Department: One additional request is that you show the perimeter trees not the interior on the
Landscape Plan and clarify the number of plantings for each lot on the Exhibit; with that
the Department recommends forwarding to the full Plan Commission.
Blackman: We will take comments from the Public.
(Instructions to the Public)
Teague: What is the design for 8"' Street NW?
Leazenby: This will be a City of Carmel project and is about two years away from a design.
Teague: I have concern that the road will be too close to my home with on -street parking.
Leazenby: Parking on the north side only.
Stewart: I represent Dariya Tolpygin. She lives where the new trees are going in and is worried
about the impact on her home.
Graham: Off -street parking? Will there be sidewalks also?
Leazenby: Yes and very similar to the Townehomes at City Center Drive.
Stewart: Where will the land bank parking be located?
Shinaver: We will get with you on that.
Blackman: Committee comments?
Ripma: Size minimum on trees?
Shinaver: Page 6, Section 8.1, 2 %2 caliper and seven (7) feet high at planting.
Leazenby: You had asked last time if one (1) light was enough? One (1) Photocell light on the door
illuminates the front of the units.
Ripma: How is the drainage handled?
Leazenby: We are creating a pond to slow the water to direct into the creek. Effect is zero.

Blackman: Are we comfortable moving forward?
Ripma: I am fine with it as long as they address the public issues.
Blackman: Make it contingent upon meeting with the resident Dariya Tolpygin because she just
learned about the development.
Dutcher: Move for approval with condition of meeting with resident Dariya Tolpygin.
Ripma: Second.
Motion carried; three (3) in favor zero (0) opposed.

The applicant seeks to plat a residential subdivision of 77 lots on 61.21 acres. The site is located at 11901
Shelborne Road. The site is zoned S 1 /Residence. We have been working with neighbors and staff to
finalize the Landscape Plan and prepare a Tree Preservation Plan. The staff requested to add additional
trail connection to West Park and we did that. Trail constructed of Dusky 12 type to match the connection
at West Park. It was also requested we submit commitments for the right -of -way improvements along
Shelborne Road and we submitted that to Jon Dobosiewicz along with the Engineer's estimates.
Blackman: Can we hear from the Department?
Department: The location of the entrance on Shelborne Road and use of adjacent property to the
south....
Skelton: We have worked out details with those neighbors.
Department: Location of the entrance?
Skelton: Same.
Department: Department recommends forwarding to the full Plan Commission.
Blackman: Any comments from the Public?
(Instructions to the Public)
Sam Tancredi: Concern about undergrowth on my property line. I do not want to lose my fence or
underbrush screening. I would like to discuss this with the Developer. We are not on board
with this plan.
Olson: We would like Sewer and Water brought to our neighborhood.

Mike Ulrich: My drive is in the way of the turn lane not only will I lose my front yard it could get into
our septic.
Totoura: We too would support the Sewer and Water connection.
Stikeleather: We are open to working with all the residents in the area.
Blackman: Comments from the Committee?
Dutcher: I would like you to get a commitment from the Parks Department on the connection to
West Park that they will be okay with the connection as it relates to the other undeveloped
40 acres on the other side. We will want to see that the Tree Preservation and
Landscape Plans have been approved. There is also concern expressed about the
intersection of 116 h Street and Shelborne Road. What is the status?
Hollibaugh: We are finalizing the design on the intersection first thing next spring. That is all we have
available at this time. We can make that known to the Plan Commission.
Dutcher: These issues on buffering, water and sewer and the driveway have not been addressed
enough for me to comfortably move this forward.
Ripma: Can the Department explain how the water will be connected across the street?
Hollibaugh: It will be an issue between Clay Regional Waste, the Developer and the homeowner.
Lach: We are working to extend that interceptor main to get those sewers to the homeowners and
to the adjacent properties. We will coordinate with the Developer.
Ripma: Should we be concerned about the decel lane?
Skelton: We are working with Engineering on this and hoping to coordinate with the City on this
improvement.
Blackman: We want to see written commitments on the availability of Water and Sewer.
Dutcher: Additional discussion with neighbors on the buffering, accel/decel lane, connection piece
trail approval by Parks and the Landscape /Tree Preservation Plan approval. I would like
all those issues resolved when you come back.

The applicant seeks to plat a commercial subdivision of 11 lots on 61.609 acres. The petitioner also seeks
the following Subdivision Waivers: The site is located at 9901 Michigan Road. The site is zoned
B2/Business and B3/Business, and is within the US 421 Overlay.

Solada: We are here to plat this Development. The Subdivision Waiver is for the alignment to
Commerce Drive. We have an agreement with Hamilton County Highway for the 300
radius alignment. Block F, of the Plat of Target Center needs vacation to subdivide for
our lot. We are addressing concerns made by the residents of New August regarding well
contamination by our project.
Schembre: We would commit to a five (5) year agreement to repair homeowner's well or septic if
certified that we were the direct cause of said failure.
Solada: We would hope to be sent back to the full Commission with the understanding that we
have worked out this language.
Schembre: We have approval for landscaping. Another issue from the homeowners is the berm. The
location of the pond keeps us from creating a berm. We have been advised that for every
feet of rise you need three feet (3') of slope and can only plant on the top of the rise. We
sent the Plan Commission the layout of what it would take to create a berm and part of the
berm will need to go on the homeowner's properties. We are still waiting for a response.
At this point, we have agreed to stake where the boundary line is and the tops of the ponds.
The community will look at it to see if they want any portion of the berm on their side and
at what height they want the berm. If it can be done it will.
Department: Impact of wells, buffering and screening should be addressed when the petitioner returns
with Block G —those are not issues tonight. The Department recommends forwarding to
the full Plan Commission with a favorable recommendation.
(Here followed intense discussion and no satisfactory resolution regarding the berm.
Blackman: We expect that you (Duke Realty) honor your commitments. Comments from the Public?
(Instructions to the Public)
Carson: (integrity of commitments by Duke Realty challenged.) We are waiting on preliminary
written commitments for the wells and septic. Duke is still willing to create a berm.
Blackman: According to Duke ultimately the berm will be your (the homeowners) decision. If they
have the room to create it Duke will do it. If they do not and they will need to encroach on
your land to create it, it will be the neighborhood's call.
Dutcher: This looks good. I would like to get in writing the support for the berm and wells.
(disappointment expressed over the informal discussion of the berm.) I am ready to move
forward tonight. Approve Docket Number 04080044PV Lot 1, Docket Number
04080052PP and Docket Number 04080053SW contingent upon written agreements
related to the berm and available engineering and commitment to well support.
Ripma: Second.
Motion carried; three (3) in favor zero (0) opposed.

(Instructions to the Public)
Andres: Upset people use my driveway as a turn around. Parking on the street makes it difficult for
me to maneuver out of my driveway.
Hall: Four (4) cars in behind the house?
J. Hartmann: Yes, we can get five (5) if we use the garage.
Hall: We are going to be overburdened with parking and increased traffic.
