CARMEL /CLAY PLAN COMMISSION
NOVEMBER 18, 2003
MINUTES
The regularly scheduled meeting of the Carmel/Clay Plan Commission met at approximately 7:00 PM
in the Council Chambers of City Hall, Carmel, Indiana on November 18, 2003. The Executive
Committee met at 6:30 PM in the Conference Room of the Department of Community Services prior
to the regularly scheduled meeting.
Members in attendance: Marilyn Anderson; Jerry Chomanczuk; Dave Cremeans; Leo Dierckman; Dan
Dutcher; Wayne Haney; Ron Houck; Nick Kestner; Dianna Koll; Maureen Pearson; Wayne Wilson.
DOCS Staffin attendance: Angie Butler; Jon Dobosiewicz, Mike Hollibaugh, Director.
The minutes of the October meeting were approved as submitted.
Legal Counsel Report: John Molitor referred to the Resolution regarding the exercise of Planning and
Zoning Jurisdiction over Contiguous Unincorporated areas of Clay Township and the amendments to
the Rules of Procedure. These documents primarily stem from the Resolution passed by City Council
to terminate the Joinder Agreement between the City and Township regarding zoning jurisdiction. The
Council has requested that the Plan Commission take action to continue the zoning jurisdiction of the
Township by filing documents with the County Recorder.
The Rules of Procedure changes would be necessary if the fringe area jurisdiction were taken over in
this manner and would result in an 11 member Plan Commission rather than 15 members currently.
This issue was discussed at the Executive Committee. The normal process for changes to the Rules
would be to have them go to the Executive Committee for review and recommendation and then
report to the full Plan Commission.
Leo Dierckman summed up the action of the Executive Committee. Given the fact that the City
Council wrote the Resolution in such a manner discussing the date of January 1, 2004 members to
participate by recording the map at the County Recorder's office, it was determined that there would
not be a quorum. This matter will be left at the Executive Committee level until the Resolution is
modified to reflect the ability of the balance of the membership to vote on the Resolution.
Also, the Rules change will remain at the Executive Committee level for modifications as well.

Marilyn Anderson asked Wayne Wilson to take the message to City Council that as written, the
Resolution states that the members to vote on the Resolution are those who will continue to serve as of
January first. If this is the case, there are not enough members to vote to pass the Resolution.
Dave Cremeans concurred with Leo Dierckman that not only Township appointments but Mayoral
appointments will expire as of the end of December, and there would not be a quorum to vote on the
Resolution.
Ron Houck questioned whether or not Hamilton County has County -wide zoning —the response was
negative.
Dan Dutcher referred to the dissolution of the Joinder and comments made at that time. There were
concerns regarding how that would affect Park Impact Fees as well. Mr. Dutcher said he would be a
lot more comfortable seeing those issues addressed in writing and being returned. Mr. Dutcher did not
want to make assumptions related to the Resolution that would ultimately prove incorrect, and end up
working to the detriment of the Township and the Parks Board.
Department Concerns, Jon Dobosiewicz. The Department received a request to re -order the Agenda
and move items 5i. and 6i. for St. Christopher's Episcopal Church to the beginning of Old Business.
The Department has no position on this request.
Dave Stewart addressed the Commission saying he had another commitment this evening as well and
would like to have the Agenda adjusted if at all possible.
The Commission voted to continue with the Agenda as published and not re -order at this time.

Dell Corner, Lot 4. The proposed changes include a 5100 square -foot building at the north end
of the 4.2 -acre lot 4. Appropriate parking and landscaping surround the building.
The petitioner appeared before the Technical Advisory Committee on October 22n As a result,
the petitioner is currently working to respond to comments and suggestions made by the
Technical Advisory Committee. Scott Brewer, Urban Forester for the City of Carmel, asked that
6 Ornamental Shade Trees be added to the landscaping plans shade trees near the detention
pond. The building materials for this project consist of red brick with EFIS, and cast stone trim.
The proposed building elevations will have the same design as the existing building to the south.
The petitioner has worked with the surrounding neighbors and the following commitments have
been made. 1) A new proposed trash enclosure will be located at the southwest corner of the
proposed building. 2) No outdoor seating will be permitted north of the proposed building. 3)
The rear elevation will be enhanced to resemble the front elevation by adding trim around doors
and up- grading the light fixtures. 4) The petitioner will work with DOCS staff to provide a
combination of fencing and landscaping that will reduce headlight glare into Delaware Commons
to the north of the development. The petitioner will also work to minimize parking lot lighting so
that it is both adequate and safe. The petitioner will continue to work in cooperation with the
neighbors through the ADLS commitment process. The proposed quality of architecture and
business tenants for this addition conforms to the neighborhood /commercial development
standards of Carmel.
Members of the public were invited to speak in support of this petition; no one appeared.
Members of the public were invited to speak in opposition to the petition, the following appeared:
Remonstrance /Opposition:
Alan Adams, 5794 Aquamarine Drive. Mr. Evans stated he has not been in contact with anyone
from Plum Creek regarding this development. Mr. Adams primary concern is a natural creek
adjacent to this development —there is a lot of wildlife and a lot of children that play in this area
and an adequate landscape buffer should be installed for shielding. Mr. Adams said that his home
is in direct line with the parking lot lighting.
Mr. Duke responded that notices had been sent to all adjoining neighbors. However, he would be
glad to meet with Mr. Adams and address his concerns. There is an existing fence to the west of
the property and the petitioner is willing to add additional landscaping
The Plan Commission suggested that the petitioner meet with adjacent homeowners and resolve
all issues prior to Committee meeting.
Department Report, Jon Dobosiewicz. The petitioner has addressed lighting concerns, however,
additional information regarding the light fixtures to be used on site and any shielding provided to
the properties on the west and north is requested at Committee level. Confirmation is to be
provided that the style and type of signage being proposed for this building is identical to what
was previously approved for the building on this lot.
Dave Cremeans asked that the Committee look at up- lighting fixtures to avoid light spillage.

Nick Kestner expressed concern with the signage not being uniform. Also, the connecting path
from HazelDell to 131S Street should be more clearly delineated for pedestrian traffic.

li. Docket No. 131 -03 PP #03080030) Cass Estates- Primary Plat
The applicant seeks to plat a 70 -lot subdivision. The site is located southwest
116th Street Shelborne Road. The site is zoned S -1 /Residential- Low Density.
The petitioner also seeks the approval of the following subdivision waiver:
131 -03a SW #03090008) §6.3.7 Cul -de -sac length
Filed by Dennis Olmstead of Stoeppelwerth Associates for Graystone
Development, LLC.
Jim Shinaver, attorney with Nelson Frankenberger appeared before the Commission
representing the petitioner. Also in attendance: Sheldon Phelps, Graystone Development; Dennis
Olmstead and Brian Robinson, Stoeppelwerth Associates; Dave Klauba, landscape architect;
Michael Miguel of ReMax Realty.
The petitioner is seeking Primary Plat approval as well as a Subdivision Waiver for cul -de -sac
length for Cass Estates, a 70 -lot Subdivision. The petitioner appeared before the full Plan
Commission on October 20 followed by review by the Subdivision Committee on November
6 A unanimous, favorable recommendation was made to the full Commission by the
Committee.
Jim Shinaver reviewed the location of the development and the petitioner's request. Greenspace
internal to the site is being provided as well as along the northern edge near 116 Street.
Graystone is also proposing a wildflower nature area and a pond area on the western portion of
the site. A proposed athletic field and a "Tot Lot" are being provided along the northern border
of the site. There is buffering and mounding provided between the "tot lot" and athletic field as
they relate to 116 Street as well as additional open area/green space.
A multi -use path is being provided along 116 Street. Internal to the site is also a walkway /path
that runs through the center of the site and then along the western portion of the site.
A revised landscape plan was submitted to the Department and distributed to the Committee
members in November. There are significant plantings along the buffer areas on all corners of the
site and landscape areas internal to the site along the pathway. Sheldon Phelps and Dave Klauba
have worked closely with Scott Brewer, Urban Forester, to address the Department's concerns.
At this time, those concerns have been met.
S:\PlanCommission\ Minutes\ PlanCommissionMinutes \pc2003nov 4
ONE CIVIC SQUARE CARMEL, INDIANA 46032 317/571 -2417
The anticipated price range of the homes is between $300, and $500,000.
Regarding the Subdivision Waiver, the cul -de -sac on the eastern portion of the site is
approximately 860 feet in length. The Subdivision requirements would dictate the limit at 600
feet. Based on the site configuration, the petitioner is asking for a waiver of cul -de -sac length.
The petitioner understands that based on the Department Report, the requirements of the
Ordinance as they pertain to platting are being met.
Dave Cremeans reported for the Subdivision Committee. Additional, extensive landscaping was
agreed to by the petitioner, especially along the western border. The cul -de -sac length was also
discussed, and it was agreed that the cul -de -sac length as presented is the best configuration.
There was concern regarding the The Westsons Subdivision because the stub street to the south
goes into The Westons. The "loop road" to the north of The Westons is a good traffic- calming
device. The Committee unanimously recommended approval of the development.
Department Report, Jon Dobosiewicz. Approval is being recommended of both the Subdivision
Waiver request and the Primary Plat.
Ron Houck had questions about the configuration of the cul -de -sac and if it could be brought
back to meet the main drive and lots re- configured.
Jim Shinaver said this was discussed at the Committee level. The concern from a site layout
standpoint is that if the cul -de -sac "wrapped," valuable greenspace and open space would be lost.
Maureen Pearson had concerns regarding the buffer that prompted additional discussion regarding
the 25 -foot landscape buffer designated as common area between the existing neighborhood and
the proposed development, and the intensity of the lots. In other areas of The Westons, where
tree lines anticipated by the developer have been established on individual lots, a few years later,
the lot owners have cut down the trees, unaware that approval for the primary plat was
conditioned upon the presence of the tree line. The tree line should be maintained by the HOA.
Jim Shinaver said there was no discussion about the buffer area between The Westons and Cass
Estates lots from the gentleman who appeared at the Public Hearing and at Committee review.
However, there are significant tree plantings along the entire southern border that does provide a
buffer.
Maureen Pearson wanted to go on record as being concerned with insufficient buffering and the
open space facing 116 Street rather than being scattered to buffer neighboring properties. There
is also a concern about the need for a cul -de -sac.
Dave Cremeans said the front of the lots look to be about 90 feet from The Westons. But,
because one is a curved road and one is a cul -de -sac, it causes the lots to be flared at the back. It
is probably an issue of configuration more than any other issue. Additional plantings are being
provided on the west side of the development—it is possible for the petitioner to do something
S:\PlanCommission\ Minutes \PlanCommissionMinutes \pc2003nov 5
ONE CIVIC SQUARE CARMEL, INDIANA 46032 317/571 -2417
similar on the south side of the project in order to soften the development?
Maureen Pearson also stated concern with landscaping being on the individual lots rather than in
common area so that there are not issues with landscaping being removed and buffer being
eliminated between the two neighborhoods.
Jim Shinaver responded that the landscape plantings are within the individual lots and lot owners
are responsible. Essentially, the trees in the common area are essentially side by side.
Maureen Pearson asked if the common area could be reconfigured and the landscape buffer could
then be maintained by the Homeowners Association.
Jon Dobosiewicz commented that if the concern is with the Ordinance in regard to planting
requirements, this is an issue and the Plan Commission should revisit the Ordinance allowing the
buffer or landscaping to be provided within the lots. The petitioner has followed the Ordinance
the issue is within the Ordinance. Preference has been expressed to have common area adjacent
to the lots within The Westons. The Ordinance does not require it, and actually states that it is
the petitioner's prerogative to provide the Open Space and the Commission's duty to review the
plan and determine whether or not it conforms to the Ordinance.
Marilyn Anderson commented that there is a "loophole" in the Ordinance. Lots on the perimeter
must match what is required for the plat it adjoins. Since ROSO has no minim lot size, there is
no matching. This needs to be addressed in the Ordinance.
At this time, an opportunity was given the petitioner to address this situation while the next
Docket was heard.
The discussion resumed at the conclusion of item 2i.
Jim Shinaver reported that in an attempt to address concerns and after further discussions with
Sheldon Phelps, the existing 25 -foot landscape easement will be changed to a 25 -foot common
area. The common area would be maintained by the Homeowners Association to ensure that
landscape plantings and the property will continue to be maintained by the HOA. The resolution
of this issue is contingent upon the approval of the DOGS. Jim Shinaver reiterated that this
development meets the legal requirements of the platting under the Ordinance.
Leo Dierckman asked for clarification of the landscaping that will be incorporated into the
common area.
At this time, Dave Klauba, landscape architect, addressed the Commission stating that the edge of
the site will be a mixture of primarily Spruce trees separated by flowering crab trees. The trees
are being planted 12 to 15 -foot centers in line so the trees will reach mature growth without
crowding and yet be effective screening. The tree plantings will give color and a winter screening
to the perimeter on all sides. Size -wise, the Spruce trees are 7 feet tall, the ornamentals are likely
to be 10 feet tall at the time of planting.
S:\PlanCommission\Minutes\PlanCommissionMinutes\pc2003nov
ONE CIVIC SQUARE CARMEL, INDIANA 46032 317/571 -2417
Jim Shinaver commented that there is a fence line and existing trees on The Westons portion of
the real estate in addition to what is being proposed.
Ron Houck had further questions regarding lots 69 and 70. Lot 70 is designated a "Conservation
Lot." What are the restrictions under ROSO for a conservation lot? Also, there was a suggestion
by the Subdivision Committee that a clause be included in the Declaration of Covenants that the
stub street on the western edge of the property is planned to connect if adjacent real estate to the
west is developed. The plan shows a "flaring," similar to a temporary cul -de -sac treatment; this
gives some finesse until something does occur. There should be a clear understanding about the
stub street people who live on the stub tend to think of it as NOT being a through street. What
will occur that people buying those lots will understand that this will be a through street, and how
will the temporary cul -de -sac be finished —roll curb and gutter?
Jim Shinaver responded that the cul -de -sac would be finished in temporary asphalt. The
Subdivision Committee requested language in the covenants that would clearly state that in the
future, the street could connect. Sheldon Phelps committed to incorporating language in the
covenants during the Committee review process.
John Molitor reported that the Ordinance specifies Conservation Lots should be a minim of 5
acres. The Commission does have the discretion to modify up to 35 if the modification meets
criteriait is not an automatic modification, the general standard is 5 A Restrictive,
Conservation Easement prevents future subdivision of the conservancy lot and would be required
to be part of the plat. John Molitor said there is no reason the Commission could not ask for the
Restrictive Conservation Easement at this time to make sure it will be in place at Secondary Plat
approval.
Jim Shinaver stated that the way the development is platted, Graystone could commit that lots 69
and 70 will remain conservancy lots.
Dave Cremeans moved for approval of Docket No. 131 -03 PP, Cass Estates, Primary Plat and
131 -03a SW, subdivision waiver, with the following caveat: Conservation Lot 970 is to be
delineated as part of the approval for primary plat and the waiver, including the 25 -foot landscape
easement as common area on the south side of the project; the motion was seconded by Dianna
Knoll and Approved 9 in favor, 2 opposed (Chomanczuk and Pearson.)
2i. Docket No. 132 -03 PP #03080031): Heather Knoll Primary Plat
The applicant seeks primary plat approval of a 57 -lot subdivision. The petitioner
also seeks the approval of the following subdivision waivers:
132 -03a SW #03090009) §6.3.4 Provision of North -south collector road
132 -03b SW #03090010) §6.1.1 Conformance with the master plan
132 -03c SW #03090011) §5.1.7 Extension of facilities in the master plan
The site is located northeast of 141st Street Shelborne Road. The site is zoned
S -1 /Residence -Very Low Density.

Steve Pittman of Pittman Partners appeared before the Commission representing the applicant.
Also in attendance: Dave Klauba, landscape architect, and Brian Robinson of Stoeppelwerth
Assoc.
The Subdivision Committee unanimously recommended approval of this development. The
DOCS encouraged the petitioner to acquire an additional 7 acres to the northwest of the proposed
development that would take the collector road all of the way out to 146 Street.
Dave Cremeans concurred with Steve Pittman's characterization of the Committee's action.
Department Report, Jon Dobosiewicz. One of the issues was the property to the northwest; it is
anticipated that they will file a replat of the Subdivision, but will need to seek additional waivers
similar to those granted in the past along the collector roadway. The recommendation of the
Department is for approval of the primary plat and waiver request, subject to the recommendation
made by the committee.
Leo Dierckman moved for approval of Docket Nos. 132 -03a SW, 132 -03b SW, and 132 -03c
SW, Subdivision Waivers for Heather Knoll, seconded by Jerry Chomanczuk and
APPROVED 11 -0.
Leo Dierckman moved for approval of Docket No. 132 -03 PP, Heather Knoll Primary Plat,

3i. Docket No. 137 -03 PP #03090005) Weston Pointe Primary Plat
The applicant seeks to plat a 130 -unit subdivision. The site is located northeast
106th Street Michigan Road. The site is zoned part R -4 /Residence and B-
2 /Business, and is within the US 421 Overlay Zone.
Filed by Dennis Olmstead of Stoeppelwerth Associates for Pittman Partners.
Steve Pittman of Pittman Partners appeared before the Commission representing the applicant.
Also in attendance was Brian Robinson of Stoeppelwerth Associates.
The petitioner has worked with the surrounding property owners and a plan is being presented
that has support from the adjacent property owners, i.e. The Westons HOA, Fred Fehsenfeld,
Browning Investments, and James Lipe, an individual who backs up to Weston Pointe.
The Subdivision Committee reviewed this proposal and some changes were made. At the rezone
stage, the petitioner made a commitment that they would meet the requirements of the Residential
Open Space Ordinance. A variance was requested in regard to tree preservation for the clearing
of young woodlands, more than required by the Ordinance. Some of the neighbors had an issue
with that, and the plan was altered. The petitioner agreed to a 150 -foot buffer through storm
drainage facilities. The lake did get into the woods slightly, necessitating a variance. At the
S:\PlanCommission\Minutes\PlanCommissionMinutes\pc2003nov
ONE CIVIC SQUARE CARMEL, INDIANA 46032 317/571 -2417
public hearing, the petitioner waived the variance request and made some changes the neighbors
liked.
The neighbors agreed with and supported changes made by the petitioner. However, there is one
issue from the neighbors and that is the concern with the connection into The Westons
neighborhood. The petitioner is willing to do the will of the Plan Commission, whatever they
decide.
Dave Cremeans reported for the Committee. The addition of the second retention is a big
improvement and a change supported by the neighbors because it avoids the woods. The
connection into The Westons was discussed at length and the Committee did agree on the
connection. The Committee unanimously approved this petition.
DOGS, Jon Dobosiewicz. The Department is recommending approval of the Primary Plat as
forwarded by the Committee.
Maureen Pearson had comments regarding the previous proposal on this property that was for a
much more dense development. At that time, a commitment was obtained from the County
Highway that no connection would need to be made and no recommendation was made by DOCS
that the connection occur.
Steve Pittman responded that this was a primary issue at Technical Advisory Committee. The
Hamilton County Highway Dept. requested the connection. However, the County Highway did
not require connection on the previous proposal.
Jon Dobosiewicz explained that the position of the County Highway was that because the County
had no ordinance, they did not require connection. The Ordinance has not changed regarding this
topic—it was a requirement that the petitioner connect previously, and it is a requirement today.
The Westons was planned with stub streets in three places: one to the north into Cass Estates, one
into Fred Fehsenfeld's property to the west, and an additional stub into the property to the
north —the subject parcel. The Subdivision Control Ordinance requires that this subdivision
connect to the other subdivision.
At the time this petitioner came through with a rezone request, a traffic study was attached that
identified the traffic that would utilize this area as immeasurable. In other words, there was no
projection that there would be enough traffic warranting even a study to determine level of traffic
that would cross the area. The current proposal is less dense; therefore, there should be less
traffic generated by this particular use than the previous proposal.
Maureen Pearson said it was a little confusing for her and the residents of The Weston as to why
the decision now is different than the previous decision.
Marilyn Anderson commented that the traffic and the stub streets were thoroughly discussed at
the Committee level.

ONE CIVIC SQUARE CARMEL, INDIANA 46032 317/571 -2417
Ron Houck said he could understand providing additional buffer for the benefit of the neighbors.
However, it seems that what was initially open space represented a good opportunity for just
that —open space—as opposed to retention/detention. Secondly, there is a concern that if the
retention is now, in part, moved to that area, and there are small children in the area, the retention
is in a position to expose most of the buildings to the retention area. What safeguards would be in
place to protect children in the detention area?
Steve Pittman responded that the petitioner felt it was best to accommodate the neighbors in the
buffer and not request a variance. Also, there are detention ponds in most all subdivisions, and
the County requires a child safety ledge be built in the detention pond.

West Carmel Center, Block C Bank One
The applicant seeks to construct a Bank One building. The site is located at
northwest Carwinion Way and Commerce Drive. The site is zoned part B -3
Business, and is within the US 421 Overlay Zone.
Filed by Eric Matson of CSO Architects for 421 Realty.
Eric Matson of CSO Architects, 280 East 96 Street, Indianapolis appeared before the
Commission representing the applicant. The proposed Bank One building is a 4300 square foot
retail branch bank located within the 421 Overlay Zone.
This item had public hearing on October 21S and review by the Special Study Committee on
November 6 The Committee comments have been addressed with the exception of one, and
that issue is the ATM enclosure.
Dianna Knoll reported for the Committee. The ATM is not a part of the package this evening.
There was considerable discussion regarding the signage. The petitioner agreed to no ground
Sign and no logo on the drive -thru, however there will be signage on the front and back of the
building. The committee unanimously recommended approval of the DP portion of this Docket.
Department Report, Jon Dobosiewicz. This item should be considered for approval as
recommended by the Special Study Committee.
At this time, Nick Kestner requested that the ADLS portion for the ATM facility remain at
Special Study Committee for further review and ultimate final approval.
Jon Dobosiewicz commented that the Development Plan for all three lots contains sidewalks
along Commerce Drive. The developer agreed to install sidewalks at the time the first out -lot is
developed in order to make the connection between the existing retail on the Target site.

David Stewart, attorney, South Range Line Road, Carmel appeared before the Commission
representing the applicant. This item had initial public hearing on October 21 and review by the
Special Study Committee on November 6th
There were no significant questions regarding the Rezone issue, and the Committee gave a
unanimous (6 -0) favorable recommendation for approval.
Regarding the ADLS review, the only item of significance was a question regarding a light pack
that was to appear on the rear of the building. The petitioner has amended the wall pack aspect of
the design to reflect that the lighting will be consistent throughout, and there will be no wall
packs.
Dianna Knoll reported for the Special Study Committee. The petitioner agreed to dedication of
right -of -way at the time of rezone, and a new legal description furnished.
Department Report, Jon Dobosiewicz. The Department is recommending favorable consideration
from the Plan Commission of the request for Rezone, and also approval of the ADLS, subject to
the recommendation made by the Special Study Committee.
