at the southeast corner of 116 St. and Spring Mill Rd. Filed by Jennifer Burk, Duke

Charlie Frankenberger of Nelson and Frankenberger presented for the petitioner, Duke
Realty. He was accompanied by Blaine Paul of Duke Realty. We are requesting changing
the zoning of approximately 63 acres, located south of 116 street on either side of the
future Illinois St. extension. Aerial photographs were distributed to the Committee. A
mixed used development if being proposed, it will include as proposed office, retail and
hotel uses. Originally it was thought that this project would go to the Plan Commission in
July, but now will go in August. Plans are currently being revised and consequently we
were not able to include in the packets the defmitive land plan and PUD ordinance, but
knowing that TAC is concerning primarily with grading, utilities and drainage we thought
we could have a meaningful dialog and input without specific plans.
David Lucas, Hamilton County Highway Department no jurisdiction over this project
Angie Conn DOCS has sent a review letter, no additional comments at this time.
Chuck Shupperd Vectren Energy, no issue with rezone
Greg Hoyes Hamilton County Surveyor's Office, sent info letter, you can move

submitted to both the City of Carmel and Hamilton County. Greg responded that this was
correct.

back through as a DP Angie replied this would be coming back as an ADLS
Page 4of7
Charlie discussed that there will be many more opportunities to discuss this project as we
go through the process, will be going through Plan Commission/Committee, etc., so he
indicated that the project could come back through TAC or they could meet with folks
individually.
Blaine Paul spoke about storm drainage on this development looking at implementing a
low- impact development concepts and alternative storm water management practices. We
think given the topography and the existing infrastructure there are a lot of opportunities
for creative storm water practices. Questioned if the City's storm water ordinance allowed
these practices, but would like some guidance.
Nick indicated that Blaine needs to speak with Amanda Foley in Engineering.
Shirley Hunter Duke Energy believes this in IPL territory. Some of this may be in
Duke territory, but she will not know until the plans are complete.
Ryan Hartman CTRWD, only comment is we do have an 18 inch interceptor sewer
along Springmill, and would request that your extension would be off that sewer. We you
make your next set of plans for submittal, please include a sewer application as early as
possible. If the development changes the new plans can be submitted.

Docket No. 07060005 TAC: Midwest ISO 720 Building
Page 5 of 7
The applicant seeks approval for 2 chillers, entry gates/bollards /guard house /revised
landscaping, and deleted mechanical building. The site is located at 701 720 City
Center Dr. and is zoned M- 3/Manufacturing. Filed by Fred Simmons, Simmons
Architects, LLC.
Fred Simmons of Simmons Architects, LLC, presented for the petitioner. He was
accompanied by Robyn French of Midwest ISO.
There are two different parts to the plan. On the existing building we are converting a
portion of the building to a data center which required 2 new chillers; the location is shown
on the site plan. A chiller is essentially a big metal box 8 ft. square /8 ft. tall. It will be
hidden by landscaping that is surrounding those two chillers.
The second component is related to the second building, the 720 building. The purpose
of the revision is the elimination of the mechanical building. We have converted that into a
parking facility and landscaping. We have added landscaping to the westerly boundary
with some large boulders to prevent entry from that location. Also proposed is a guard
house /gates and/or hydraulic bollers. Spoke with Scott Brewer and he did not have any
problem with project. Also the police and Hamilton county surveyor's office have
indicated that they did not have any issues either.

on City Center Drive. Mr. Simmons indicated that they are only being installed on the
westerly side. Shirley indicated on a visual where Duke is planning to install new cable for
the new building along with west end of City Center Drive, landscaping could be an issue.
It will have to be a conduit system. We have been asked to hug the perimeter right where
the landscaping is going placing our cable
It is on ISO property please get as close to the curb line as possible because we are
mounding that as well.
