Filed by Charlie Frankenberger of Nelson Frankenberger for BP Sports, LLC.
Present for the Petitioner: Charlie Frankenberger with Nelson and Frankenberger, and
Molly Powell with BP Sports /Velocity.
Petitioner's Presentation: Charlie Frankenberger introduced the project. He said that
Bill Akers wanted to know who the existing tenant was who would be occupying the other
5,000 square feet of the 25,000 square foot building. He said that Bill Akers concern was
that there were different suite numbers for the different businesses so emergency vehicles
would now where to go. He discussed the exact location of the building and the other uses
that are located in the area. He said that the use was not a permitted use in the M -3
district. He noted that Scott Brewer had asked for more information on the landscape
plan. He said that they had initially given Scott Brewer photographs and that he had
requested that the petitioners have a full landscape plan drawn up superimposed on the
survey. He said that they did that and have submitted it to Scott. He said that they were
now waiting for Scott's comments, but that they had just submitted the plans to him the
day before, so they didn't expect his comments by today. He said that he would follow up
with Scott Brewer in a few days.
Greg Hoyes, Hamilton County Surveyor's Office: He said that he sent Charlie
Frankenberger a letter. He said that he had no objection to the special use variance.
Mike Mc Bride, Hamilton County Highway: This is out of their jurisdiction.
Nick Redden, City of Carmel Engineering: He said that they sent the petitioners a letter
and that they have no comments at this time.
Gary Hoyt, City of Carmel Fire Dept.: He asked if Link Systems had any occupancy in
the building anymore.
Molly Powell commented that she didn't believe that they did because Gary Runyon
bought it out and that he was the current owner of the building. She said that he just stores
equipment in the warehouse area. She said that the building is completely empty, so she
said that she was pretty sure that they weren't there anymore.
Gary Hoyt, City of Carmel Fire Dept.: He said that the Fire Department had a Knox
Box on the building, so he said that the Fire Department would just request that the
petitioners switch out the locks and that if they separate into suites, the petitioners would
need to make sure that the Fire Department would have access to both of the suites. He
said that he would work with the petitioners later and tell them how to do that.
Shirley Hunter, Cinergy: She said that Cinergy didn't have any objections to the
variance. She said that they would just need to be notified in any changes in electrical
needs for the building. She provided the petitioner with a business card for contact later.
Matt Griffin, DOCS: He said that Angie's comments were contained in the docketing
email that was sent to the petitioner. He said that he did not have any additional comments
now. He said that the petitioners should keep working with Scott Brewer to ensure that the
issues are resolved before the Board of Zoning Appeals meeting.
Christine Barton Holmes, DOCS:
Angie Conn, DOGS:
Charlie Frankenberger said that Scott Brewer said that he wanted the plans so that he
could ensure that the petitioner was in compliance with the most recent landscape
standards. He said that he told Scott that one problem that they might encounter is if the
current landscape plans would require a radical revision of the site, it might make this use
impossible. He said that if landscape islands were required that would eliminate parking,
etc.
Matt Griffin said that he didn't anticipate that happening. He said that Scott Brewer was
probably just wanting to compare them to the old plans to be sure that everything was still
in tact.
Angie Conn added that she believed that there was a landscape plan on file.

9:10 a.m. University High School of Indiana
The applicant seeks special use amendment approval for a high school expansion.
Docket No. 05120007 SUA; ZO Chapter 5.02; Special Uses
The site is located at 2825 W 116"' St. and is zoned S -1 /Residence.
Filed by Bill Wendling of Campbell, Kyle, Proffitt, LLP.
Present for the Petitioner: Scott Wyatt with Campbell, Kyle, and Proffitt, and Becky
Feigh and Jackie Bieghler with Odle, McGuire Shook.
Petitioner's Presentation: Becky Feigh introduced the project.
Greg Hoyes, Hamilton County Surveyor's Office: He said that he sent a comment letter
to Bill Wendling, Jr. He said that the project is into a reconstruction of a regulated drain
because it under where the proposed building is going to be. He said that there were
several comments.
2
Becky Feigh said that they were going to submit their drainage calculations in the next
week. She said that they were going to try to incorporate as many of the comments as they
could into the drainage calculations.
John South, Hamilton County Soil and Water Conservation: He said that he faxed a
copy of the review to the petitioner. He said that the land is not approved and that there is
still a lot of detail that has to come together.
Mike Mc Bride, Hamilton County Highway: He clarified that the work would be out of
their right -of way.
Nick Redden, City of Carmel Engineering: He said that Carmel Engineering sent the
petitioners a letter with their comments. He said that they would just work though the
comments with the petitioners until they arrive at approved plans. He said that the letter
was mailed on December 16, 2006. He said that he could fax the petitioners a letter if they
haven't received it yet.
Gary Hoyt, City of Carmel Fire Dept.: He said that he sent a letter to Bill Wendling, Jr.
He clarified that the buildings were going to be sprinkled. He said that he would like to
set up a meeting sometime with the petitioners to discuss where the Fire Department
connection should go. He said that the buildings would have fire alarms because there
would be students in them. He said that the Fire Department is requesting a remote
enunciator panel be located at the front. He said that if the petitioners want the main in the
back, that's okay, as long as there is a board at the front. He said that he is requesting a
Knox box for emergency access and also the Fire Department connection caps. He said
that those could be ordered directly online. He said that with the other schools, they are
asking that the exterior doors be numbered, so that if there is an emergency, then whoever
is in the building can tell them what door to go to. He noted that University had not yet
numbered the doors on their existing building. He clarified that there would be no
basement in the building. He sent some cards to the petitioners to set up a meeting.
Shirley Hunter, Cinergy: She said that she had no comments because this is IPL
territory.
Angie Conn, DOGS: She said that she had no additional comments.
Becky Feigh said that the portable classrooms would stay until the building was
operational in December 2006. She said that when the students were transferred, the
portables would go away.
Matt Griffin added that Scott Brewer might have some comments.
Becky Feigh said that she had already spoken with him and got his comments.
Gary Hoyt, City of Carmel Fire Dept.: He asked if there was still talk of putting an
entrance road off of Town Line Road.
Becky Feigh responded that there was not. She said that they were going to concentrate
most of the academic buildings away from that area. She said that in the first phase they
would be constructing the soccer fields and an access way for emergency vehicle access.
...END...
9:20 a.m. Docket No. 05120012 DP /ADLS: Arden Townhomes
The applicant seeks approval for a 90 -unit townhome development on 12.7 acres.
The site is located at 1940 E 136th St. and is zoned PUD /Planned Unit Development.
Filed by Jim Shinaver of Nelson Frankenberger for Buckingham Properties, Inc.
Present for the Petitioner: Jim Shinaver with Nelson and Frankenberger, and David
Leazenby and Sara Nasuti with Buckingham Companies, as well as Rich Kelly and Darren
Pittman with EMH &T.
Petitioner's Presentation: Jim Shinaver introduced the project.
Greg Hoyes, Hamilton County Surveyor's Office: He said that he sent a letter to Rich
Kelly and copied David Leazenby on it. He said that he major issue that they have is
trying to comply somewhat with the Cool Creek study that was a joint venture between the
County, Westfield, and the City of Carmel. He said that Cool Creek has some erosion
problems and stuff like that. He said that anything that can be addressed to try to improve
the overall shed would be requested.
John South, Hamilton County Soil and Water Conservation: He said that this project
has favorable soil to build on, unlike many projects. He said that as far as drainage is
concerned, he is not a fan of putting wet ponds in sand and gravel soils. He said that he
feels like they are causing the potential residents a tremendous cost in the future if the
thing were ever to leak. He said that with the soil conditions that the petitioners have, dry
basins are a whole lot more logical than a wet one. He said that the pond three, besides the
soil conditions, is considered to be being built in a flood plain. He said that he again sees a
higher than normal maintenance cost for that because of that because Cool Creek floods
frequently. He said that the petitioners were looking at higher sediment loads, trash,
debris, etc. He said that he just didn't think that it was a really good plan. He said that a
dry basin in that location might have some higher maintenance costs, but not to the extent
that a wet basin would have. He said that it would be more efficient. He said that he
thinks that particular pond will have a shorter life span because of higher sediment loads.
He said that he would recommend a 30 ft. wide repairing easement along Cool Creek. He
said that, obviously, as construction plans are developed, it would have to conform to the
new water quality regulations that the County and Carmel will have passed. He said that
the only other comment that he had was that he notic3ed that some of the townhomes are
served by one street front and some are served by two street frontages. He said that it
seems logical, in the spirit of the Cool Creek Watershed plan, to reduce the street frontage
to one to reduce the stormwater run off.
Mike Mc Bride, Hamilton County Highway: He said that this project is outside of their
jurisdiction.
Nick Redden, City of Carmel Engineering: He said that he sent the petitioner's a copy of
a letter. He said that the petitioners probably have not received it yet, but that if they had
any questions about those comments, just call the Engineering Department. He said that
the petitioners should just respond to those and that Engineering would work through those
with the petitioners.
Gary Hoyt, City of Carmel Fire Dept.: He said that he sent a letter to Rich Kelly. He
clarified that there was no intention of sprinkling the buildings. He clarified that the
heights of the buildings were estimated to be about forty feet, or three stories with no
basements. He clarified that there would not be a structural amenity as part of the
subdivision. He clarified that fire alarms in the buildings would be an option chosen by the
homeowner, but that it wouldn't be standard. He said that he needs a set of plans for the
4
fire hydrant locations. He said that when he first looked at this, there is a stub street that
connects into the high school parking lot that could provide the Fire Department with
another way into the subdivision.
The petitioner said that they were scheduled to go before the school board with regards to
an offsite trail and they were going to address it then.
Gary Hoyt, City of Carmel Fire Dept.: He said that he would see if he could help the
petitioners get a final answer on that. He said that he thought that was something that he
could make happen, since the petitioners were willing to do that.
Shirley Hunter, Cinergy: She clarified that the average square footage of each unit was
about 1800 to 2400 square feet and that the buildings contain 4 -7 units per building. She
asked if the petitioners would be heating it with gas or electric.
The petitioner said that he thought that gas and electric would both be available, but he
wasn't sure that the builder had made a decision on whether they would both be available
to the potential homeowners or not.
Shirley Hunter, Cinergy: She said that the plans were missing any type of utility
easements. She asked if the common area was going to be dedicated as utility easement.
The petitioner said that they typically don't do that and that he would look at the plans
again, because they should show utility easements.
Shirley Hunter, Cinergy: She gave the petitioners a new service request form and told
them that they would need to submit an AutoCAD file to them.
Matt Griffin, DOGS: He said that he thought that Scott Brewer emailed his comments on
the landscaping stuff and that the petitioners should continue to work with Scott Brewer on
the landscaping stuff.
Christine Barton Holmes, DOCS: She said that there is a sidewalk and a trail planned
along the West side of the development and that the sidewalk that runs internal to the
development doesn't connect to the external walkway. She said that we would like to see
that connection made. She said that there is no buffering or tree preservation shown on the
North edge of the project. She said that this would need to be discussed with Scott
Brewer. She said that there are sidewalks that run internal to the development and just sort
of dead end. She said that Staff would like to see some sort of connection leading them up
to the path. She said that she would like to see that on both sides or some sort of ramp and
walk way leading down that way. She said that the Northern end of the property contains
some lots that are completely surrounded by asphalt. She suggested that the petitioners
add some green space running between the units to break up the asphalt.

9:35 a.m. Docket No. 05110020 DP /ADLS: Old Meridian Place
The applicant seeks to create 129 townhomes and a mix of office and retail uses on 25
acres.
The site is located at 12852 Old Meridian Street and is zoned OM/SFA.
Filed by Jon Isaacs for Centex Homes.
Present for the Petitioner: Ed Fleming with Stoeppelwerth Assoc., Jon Isaacs with
Centex Homes, and Larry Kemper with Nelson Frankenberger.
Petitioner's Presentation: Larry Kemper introduced the project. He noted that the
engineering that reviewed at the previous meeting involved the townhome portion. There
was no detailed engineering for the mixed -use portion of the site. He said that since the
last meeting, detailed engineering for that portion of the site had been submitted and they
were back today for their comments.
Greg Hoyes, Hamilton County Surveyor's Office: He said that he did not receive the
new plans. He said that his comment letter from the previous month's submittal would
still be the comment letter in effect until he received new plans.
John South, Hamilton County Soil and Water Conservation: He said that he couldn't
say that he received any new plans either. He said that he didn't think that he had detail
plans for it. He said that one of his major concerns in the original letter was that he wasn't
sure that the underground detention was going to satisfy the stormwater quality
departments. He said that other than that, he would research to see what plans they did
have, but he wouldn't have any additional comments until he had a chance to review the
new plans.
Mike Mc Bride, Hamilton County Highway: He said that this was inside the City limits
and outside of their jurisdiction.
Nick Redden, City of Carmel Engineering: He said that the engineering Department had
sent a letter to the petitioner with their comments. He said that should be received in the
next few days, but if the petitioner does not receive it shortly, then they should let the
Engineering Department know. He said that they would work through the comment letter
with the petitioner.
Jon Isaacs said that they met with Gary Duncan a few weeks ago and that he said that the
petitioners should get the plans for Old Meridian from Butler- Fairman. He said that they
have not been able to get them even though they have been emailing Dan Isaacs over there.
Nick Redden, City of Carmel Engineering: He said that he would see what they could
do.
Gary Hoyt, City of Carmel Fire Dept.: He said that he sent a letter. He said that the
Fire Department would like to see a set of plans showing fire hydrant locations. He
clarified that some of the buildings would be protected with an automatic sprinkler system.
He said that the Fire Department would need to have a meeting with the petitioner to
discuss where they will put the Fire Department connections. He said that the Fire
Department was going to ask for a Knox Box on the amenity building and the retail use
buildings also. He said that they were going to request the stub streets and the Fire
Hydrant markers.
Shirley Hunter, Cinergy: She said that they were going to need AutoCAD drawings and
a new service request. She asked the petitioner to provide them with the average square
footage of the buildings, to ensure that they would have the capacity. She clarified that the
development would start developing no earlier that mid- summer.
Matt Griffin, DOCS: He asked what the status was of the Old Meridian access point.
He said that he commented that it was hard to give real comments when the plan was still
in flux. He said that they were going to need to see architectural elevations for all of the
sides. He said that he didn't have a lot of additional comments from what was discussed at
their last meeting with the petitioner a week ago. He said that they would give the
petitioner a formal letter reviewing the plan that was submitted, so that the petitioner could
get some of the issues knocked down.
Christine Barton Holmes, DOCS: She said that on building four, they would rather see
openings with some sort of decorative grate rather than having it filled in. She said that
having a blank wall that is filled in kills the pedestrian feel of the area. She said that as far
as the building materials go, the white materials should be some sort of masonry to balance
the brick. She said that she would like to reiterate architectural variety in terms of the
townhomes. She said that they would like to see a variety of heights and a variety of
building materials.
Discussion ensued regarding ways the petitioner could vary their townhome elevations.

Filed by Greg Snelling of Snelling Engineering for Resorts Condominiums International,
LLC.
Present for the Petitioner: Greg Snelling with Snelling Engineering.
Petitioner's Presentation: Greg Snelling introduced the project.
Greg Hoyes, Hamilton County Surveyor's Office: He said that he sent Greg Snelling a
comment letter. He said that he didn't think there were any surprises.
John South, Hamilton County Soil and Water Conservation: He said that he sent Greg
Snelling a letter. He said that at this point in time, the plan is not approved with the
changes to the construction sequence being the most important item. He asked the
petitioner to check on the pond depth. He said that it seemed a little deep for what they
were trying to do and that he thought that the petitioner might need to consult with a
wetlands consultant.
Greg Snelling said that the plan was based upon other plans that had been put together by
a wetlands consultant, but that he would check it again.
Mike Mc Bride, Hamilton County Highway: He said that since this was a private street,
but that he wanted to know how many trips per day would be coming in and out. He said
that he was concerned about the bigger picture of truck traffic coming out of this
development and the affect that it would have on the pavement quality on 96"' Street in
particular.
Greg Snelling said that he would get him the trips per day figures.
Nick Redden, City of Carmel Engineering: He said that Engineering did not receive
plans on this.
Greg Snelling said that he thought it was sent out in an email.
Gary Hoyt, City of Carmel Fire Dept.: He said that he didn't get a hard copy or an
emailed copy.
Greg Snelling said that he would get a hard copy of the plans for Gary Hoyt.
Shirley Hunter, Cinergy: She said that she didn't receive a set either, but she said that
she believed that this was IPL territory.
Greg Snelling said that he thought that he sent Shirley Hunter an email because he knew
7
that it was IPL.
Matt Griffin, DOCS: He said that he emailed Greg Snelling the Department comments
yesterday. He said that they want to see the office square footage. He said that the HVAC
needs to be screened on all sides and that they needed to see building elevations. He asked
the petitioner to show on the plans where the accessible ramps are located for the
sidewalks. He said that he thought that Scott Brewer might have sent Greg Snelling some
comments.
Greg Snelling said that Shawn Curran is doing the plans and that he was aware of the
requirements. He confirmed that Scott Brewer had sent him comments and that he had
received them.

10:05 a.m. Docket No. 05120016 SP: Five Star Estates
The applicant seeks to plat 5 lots on 5 acres.
The site is located at 2200 W. 131st Street and is zoned S1/Residential.
Filed by Greg Snelling of Snelling Engineering, LLC for Prime Lots, LLC.
Present for the Petitioner: Greg Snelling with Snelling Engineering and Dilip Patel with
Prime Lot, LLC.
Petitioner's Presentation: Greg Snelling introduced the project.
Greg Hoyes, Hamilton County Surveyor's Office: He gave the petitioner his comment
letter. He gave the petitioner a basin map for the two subdivisions to help him delineate
his basin a little better. He said that the biggest thing on this subdivision is that the County
ordinance doesn't allow dry detention on lots. He suggested combining that basin with the
one in front.
Greg Snelling said that the petitioners could make that common area. He said that they
would like to leave the drainage similar to what they have because of the two outlets and
the two basins going two separate places. He said that they could make the rear of the
North end common area. He asked if the wet pond at the South end be on the lots.
Greg Hoyes, Hamilton County Surveyor's Office: He said that the ordinance only says
dry basins, but it would be their preference if the wet ones were not on the lots either for
liability sake for everyone involved.
Greg Snelling said that he would call him if it was going to be a major problem to convert
the wet pond into common area as well. He asked what the extent of work that they would
provide bonds to the County.
Greg Hoyes, Hamilton County Surveyor's Office: He said that it would be Storm
sewer, subsurface drain, erosion control, and monumentation. He said that everything else
is bonded with Carmel Engineering. He said that if it were filed after the beginning of the
year, erosion control would be bonded with Carmel Engineering also.
Greg Snelling said that Greg Hoyes commented in his letter that there were two tiles that
come together at one point. He said that they were only aware of two that come together at
two separate points. He said that there were two offsite field tiles. He noted it was in
comment seven.
Greg Hoyes, Hamilton County Surveyor's Office: He said that was true and that his
wording wasn't exactly correct there. He said that it was two tiles and that they come to
where both outlets are going to be.
Discussion ensued regarding the drainage and utility easement on the East side of the
property and pipe sizes.
John South, Hamilton County Soil and Water Conservation: He said that the plan was
currently not approved. He said that it was the construction sequence again. He said that
he's recommending silt fence along the East property line and/or to specify diversion
swales along the East property line first. He said that they would like to see the soil
prepped. He said that it seemed like the dry basin with two tiles draining into is probably
going to be kind of damp. He said that he would recommend a vegetation that is going to
be appropriate to the damp condition, rather than trying to force a turf grass in there that
isn't going to work very well. He said that the petitioner's narrative on the post
construction water quality should be a little stronger, so those are actually called out.
Mike Mc Bride, Hamilton County Highway: He said that this is outside of their
jurisdiction.
Scott Brewer, City of Carmel Urban Forester: He asked the petitioner if they were
going to propose any tree preservation on the perimeter of the site.
Greg Snelling said that there were two trees that they would propose to save at this time,
but that the rest of them were not on the site. He said that they would try to save what
they could, but that they may have some Engineering issues and he would get with Scott
Brewer about that.
Nick Redden, City of Carmel Engineering: He said that they sent the petitioner a
comment letter, but since it went out kind of late, the petitioner had probably not received
it yet. He said that the petitioner should let the Department of Engineering know when
they receive the letter and that they could work through those issues. He said that, to his
knowledge, Crossroads had not reviewed the plans yet.
Gary Hoyt, City of Carmel Fire Dept.: He gave the petitioner a copy of his review
letter. He said that it would not fax. He said that they are requesting that the Fire Hydrant
markers be installed in the center of the road. He said that he thinks that the plan only
shows two fire hydrants. He clarified that the community would not be a gated
community. He said that he thinks that the County has a standard detail no the hydrant
markers.
Shirley Hunter, Cinergy: He said that she thought they had discussed moving a pole and
she clarified that nothing had changed on the petitioners end. She clarified that Cinergy
should proceed with moving that. She gave the petitioners a service request and her cards.
She said that she needed an AutoCAD drawing forwarded to her.
Matt Griffin, DOGS: He said that he emailed Greg Snelling a comment letter yesterday.
He said that there are some labeling issues on the plat. He said that there were a couple of
side issues on the construction plans.

10:20 a.m. Docket No. 05120017 TAC: Orchard Park Elementary School
The applicant seeks to construct 4 additional classrooms.
The site is located at 10404 Orchard Park Drive South. The site is zoned S2 /Residence.
Filed by Karen Collins, PE, of Cripe Engineering for Carmel/Clay Schools.
Present for the Petitioner: Karen Collins with Paul I. Cripe.
Petitioner's Presentation: Karen Collins introduced the project.
Greg Hoyes, Hamilton County Surveyor's Office: He said that he sent a letter to the
Petitioner. He said that the only thing that they were going to ask for was a letter from the
Engineer that detention is covered in the existing detention.
John South, Hamilton County Soil and Water Conservation: He said that this property
would be exempt from the Rule Five requirements. He said that he had two
recommendations. He said that it seems like the contractor would need some sort of
staging area. He said that the petitioner might want to show some sort of stone area that
they can work on. He said that there is silt fence shown along the exterior of the site. He
said that the way that the grades are, where the silt fence actually crosses the swale, he
said that he though that the rest of silt fence could be eliminated.
Mike Mc Bride, Hamilton County Highway: He said that it appears that none of the
activity would be in their right of way, so he had no comments.
Scott Brewer, City of Carmel Urban Forester: He said that he sent an email with
comments to the petitioner yesterday. He said that his comments were basically about
trees. He said that on plant sizes, the standard for ornamental trees is 1.5 inch caliper. He
said that needed to be changed. He said that he also needs some preservation details on the
existing trees. He said that he would like to see three or four more trees in an area that he
identified on the plans and that he would also like to see about three or four more around
the parking lot to help shade it.
Nick Redden, City of Carmel Engineering: He said that this project was outside their
jurisdiction, so he had no comments.
Gary Hoyt, City of Carmel Fire Dept.: He said that he sent the petitioner a letter. He
said that since it was the same building, then he was assuming that the sprinkler system
would be maintained throughout the addition.
Karen Collins responded that it would be sprinkled and that they would respond to his
letter in writing.
Shirley Hunter, Cinergy: She said that she doesn't think that she received plans. She
said that she couldn't find the plans anywhere. She gave the petitioner a card and said that
if there would be any changes in electrical needs, that they could contact that person.
Matt Griffin, DOGS: He clarified that the petitioner had provided copies of the new
elevations.
Christine Barton Holmes, DOCS: She said that they wanted to know what the retaining
wall would look like from the residential side.
Karen Collins said that it wouldn't be seen from the residential side, except for the
10
handrail that's on top of it.
Matt Griffin, DOGS: He told the petitioner that the HVAC units would have to be
screened on all four sides.
Gary Hoyt, City of Carmel Fire Dept.: He clarified that the school drive would remain
open during the entire construction process.

Filed by Kevin Roberts of DeBoy Land Development for Allen Commercial Group.
Present for the Petitioner: Mike DeBoy and Kevin Roberts with DeBoy Land
Development Services, Bob Wildman with I Greg Allen, Tony Anderson with Allen
Commercial Group, and Tim Norton with Hokanson.
Petitioner's Presentation: Mike DeBoy introduced the project.
Greg Hoyes, Hamilton County Surveyor's Office: He said that they would have some
discussions about the detention outside of this meeting. He clarified that he was looking to
see some method or form of detention on site.
Kevin Roberts asked if they could still convey to the Kirk pond or if it was still open for
discussion.
Greg Hoyes, Hamilton County Surveyor's Office: He said that was still open for
discussion if the petitioners could get it there.
John South, Hamilton County Soil and Water Conservation: He said that he sent a
review letter. He said that at this point in time, the plans are not approved and he said that
he recommends changing the inlet protection to something that can be driven over. He said
that silt fence around the perimeter is probably not totally needed. He said that he would
certainly recommend some temporary and permanent seeding to be addressed.
Mike Mc Bride, Hamilton County Highway: He said that this was outside their
jurisdiction.
Scott Brewer, City of Carmel Urban Forester: He said that he sent a comment email to
Kevin. He said that basically all of his comments are in there.
Nick Redden, City of Carmel Engineering: He said that they were still reviewing this
and that they would their comments to the petitioners as soon as they could.
The petitioner asked if Carmel Engineering was looking at any of the adjoining right of
ways as far as serviceability for the site. He asked if they were workable at this time?
Nick Redden, City of Carmel Engineering: He said that he couldn't answer that right
now.
11
Gary Hoyt, City of Carmel Fire Dept.: He said that he sent Kevin a letter. He clarified
that the petitioners would have an automatic sprinkler system for the building and that they
would need to sit down and have a meeting to discuss where the petitioners would put the
Siamese connection for the building. He said that they would request a Knox Box for the
building. He said that they would request the Fire Department Connection Caps. He said
that Knox makes those that are lockable on the Siamese Connection. He said that they
would request a remote enunciator panel located at the main entrance for the Fire Alarm
system. He said that if they wanted to put the main fire alarm panel in the mechanical
room that would be fine, but that they were going to have to have something remote at the
main entrance to look at when they get there. He clarified that the building would have no
basement. He said that they were requesting a set of plans showing Fire Hydrant
locations. He said that they typically like to see a Fire hydrant within one hundred feet of
their fire department connection.
The petitioner suggested that they discuss all of these things in the meeting that they will
schedule to locate the Siamese Connections, so they knew what the Carmel Fire
Department's preferences were before they design it.
Shirley Hunter, Cinergy: She said that she hasn't had a chance to review the plans yet.
She said that she knew that Cinergy was going to be doing some major work with the
scheduled roundabouts and road improvements. She said that she doesn't know what those
plans are because it is not hers. She said that she noticed that there weren't any utility
easements on the property. She gave the petitioners a business card of the contact person
for the area.
The petitioner said that they had spoken with someone who was designing the road stuff
regarding their needs.
Shirley Hunter, Cinergy: She said that they would need AutoCAD files and load
information. She said that she would get the petitioner a load worksheet.
The petitioner said that they knew who the tenants were and had floor plans already, so
they could start working on it. He said that he knew that they were going to need three
phase power.
Shirley Hunter, Cinergy: She said that they would coordinate all of that with the
petitioners.
Matt Griffin, DOGS: He said that he emailed Kevin Roberts a comment letter. He said
that they could discuss the comments after the TAC meeting. He said that one thing that
he had called out in the letter was adding a few additional handicap parking spaces on the
building's South and North fagade preferably next to a concrete walk area for easy loading
and unloading. He said that otherwise, there is some technical stuff that they could discuss
after the meeting.
