The site is located at 2345 West 141 st Street and is zoned S 1 /Residential. Filed by Reed Carlson. Chris Badger presented for the petitioner. This project was previously presented approximately 2 years ago. It is a small 4 lot minor sub division and the owners of the property are all members of the Carlson family. Lot I has a home built on it by a Carlson family member. We have 3 more lots to finish. Mounding has begun and we have been asked to either bond or complete the drawings. It has been decided to complete the drawings. We have come today to make sure that there were no other comments. At this time the Committee indicated that there were further comments. Mr. Badger indicated it the plan of the petitioner to review comments, get changes made, return for plan approval and start construction this summer. Greg Hoyes Hamilton County Surveyor's Office, received plans late last week and has not had an opportunity to review. That there may be some minor changes required due to new Phase II rules. Chris Badger indicated that the last time he spoke with Greg regarding Item 11 which had not been addressed since the 2004 TAC meeting. This has been addressed. Mr. Badger and Mr. Carlson did a walk of the property and verified that 22 ft from center line to the new relocated legal drain which is on the south side of 141 street and this was put in during a Pittman development. There is a fee still needing to be paid for their contribution to that drain and we have relocated the 75 ft. legal drain. Greg Hoyes Hamilton County Surveyor's Office, will review and get a comment letter later this week. Gary Hoyt Carmel Fire Department, no issues with this. Scott Brewer DOCS indicated he had sent an email yesterday. Mr. Badger indicated he had received the email and will be checking with Scott on the root flare detail and they will meet later to discuss. Mr. Badger and Scott discussed the buffer zone that was put in by IPL. When lines were put in, they also put in a row of pines all along Lot 1 along the road, so that serves as an existing buffer. So on one requirement that states we need to have buffering on all four sides I would request that would be considered for existing buffering and if needed Mr. Badger could write a waiver. Scott Brewer indicated that Mr. Badger should review the ordinance which will state that existing trees cannot take the place of new buffers. Scott indicated that even though there are existing trees, the petitioner is also responsible for buffering. The possibility of a waiver was discussed. 50 ft. easement on the south ft. of Lot 4 ingress /egress /utility to get back to the utilities. Come up with total planting count.

David Littlejohn -DOGS, a chance to briefly review plan. ADA ramps are required and 10 ft. walkways are required on the Towne Rd. and 141S St. Christine Barton- Holmes -DOGS, when we receive final drawings we will need docket numbers on the drawings, and a state map. Christine will check ordinance for grade point for driveway and street for the frontage road. If you are going to have signage we will need the sign details. Mr. Badger indicated that this will be left up to the developer. He may want a temporary sign for sales and may want to monument it. Angie Conn DOCS, no comment at this time.

However, since his business is very low intensity, it may not encounter problems, but this will be ultimately be the decision of the Board, who will review what the petitioner presents, the Department report and any concerns from the neighbors.

Discussion was held relative to the location of the walls. Scott will discuss this with the petitioner at a later time. Scott asked about pervious pavers. The petitioner indicated that storm water management approach proposed to Carmel engineering is low impact design using bio- retention and using permeable pavement at this time it is generic, but will probably be permeable concrete rather than pervious pavers.

Mr. Valanzano indicated that currently there is rezoning going through the process it is about 20 acres on US 31 and west Main St. Since procedures have changed in Carmel the petitioner can't file for a primary plat approval, so they have filed for a DP to get the concept plan and layout approved. The petitioner is asking for initial approval for entrance location, street configuration and basic drainage location for a 5 lot commercial subdivision. Construction plans for all the utilities and infrastructure for all the buildings will all be presented at a later date with ADLS application. After this approval the petitioner will work to market the site. Greg Hoyes Hamilton County Surveyor's Office, sent a letter. It is a regulated drain water shed, ii does have a existing regulating drain through the site. On the plans there were some allowable discharges there are bit off of our calculation. We have concerns about the detention ponds being in possible future right -of -way of S.R. 31 upgrades, we would not want to see ponds put there and removed in the future, which would leave no detention remaining for this site. The County and Carmel Storm Water manual requires a 50 ft. separation from the top of the bank to ponds to the right of way line of 31 or any public right -a -way This will have too meet all requirements of the storm water manual and at this point we have reviewed this as a DP but until we have more information it is difficult to grant approval. We will review again. Scott Brewer DOCS, met with Jamie Bowning on site a couple of days ago, and sent an email yesterday. Scott indicated that he has some problems with the concept design to the US 31 overlay and some areas that have been ignored. Distributed a handout with concern. Nick Redden- Engineering We are still reviewing the plans and we will get our comments to you as soon as we are able., Ryan Hartman CTRWD, outside of service area. David Littlejohn -DOCS, sent a letter to Chris. Old Meridian District section indicates that all streets and alleys should be dedicated to the City. Bicycle parking will be required. All internal sidewalks should be connected to each other, and to the multi -use paths south of the property. All crosswalks must be ADA compliant. Petitioner indicated that he had a meeting with Matt Griffm and Mike Hollibaugh and they had determined that the streets did not have to dedicated to the city, because they were access only Will re -label of interior access drive. Christine Barton- Holmes -DOGS, to reiterate what Scott Brewer said, there is a 65% lot coverage within the overlay, and it appears that you are over that, so this would require a variance, but rather that request a variance, the Department would like to see you do something a little more creative with the site design. It may mean some structured parking just to open up space and doing more permeable pavements. In regards to the detention basins, where they end up, staff and the Plan Commission have asked that they be more actual water features, that they have some landscaping, some of the aeration features be more organic rather just a box with water in them. The petitioner stated that the basins are planned to be dry basins, not wet basins they will serve a dual purpose for storm water drainage as well as water quality treatment. Planting will be in the bottom of the basins. Angie Conn DOCS, sent a letter and has no further comments at this time.

In the project we are going to be dedicating the property for the new cast/west street to the city, we will dedicating additional right -of -way on both the north/south roads on both sides. We have some additional alley easements that are in there. We are working with Duke Energy on their existing poles as well as some pole relocation. We are asking you to consider. We are breaking new ground in this area, by working with the property owners in the adjacent area, pro viding them access to this new cast/west street from the rear portion of their building and again on 1 St Ave S.W.. we will be doing a major improvement with diagonal parking.
