The site is located at the northeast corner of Carmel Dr. Pennsylvania St. and is zoned OM /M Old Meridian District /Meijer Zone. Filed by Paul Reis of Bose McKinney Evans for Thomas English Retail Real Estate, LLC. Brian Cross of Civic Side Group presented. He was accompanied by Shawn Curran, or Curran Architecture. Meijer set aside this parcel for a future retail or other commercial use. We are proposing is a 10,600 sq. retail use building. It will replace the current parking field in the Meijer parking area itself. We will try to minimize the impact around the site and tie everything in as coherently as possible. Landscaping should stay the same in the front of the property, the existing detention site between just north of West Carmel Drive that ties into a larger detention facility to the south. This will not be impacted at all. Brian had some copies of the building plans for the Committee. Greg Hoyes Hamilton County Surveyor's Office, sent a comment letter and we have no concerns. Nick Redden- Engineering We are still reviewing the plans and we will get our comments to you as soon as we are able. Shirley Hunter Duke Energy, asked if this will be a multi- tenant building or not. Brian responded that they are no sure, no leases have been signed as yet. Duke does have facilities on the west side of the property. You will be required to provide conduit under the pavement. There are also facilities on the south side. Shirley distributed service application and a card for the engineer in the area. Christine Barton Holmes -DOCS, no comment at this time. Scott Brewer DOCS, has not had an opportunity to send a comment letter, but does have some concerns. Scott discussed that they are saving trees, but are reducing the size of the island that they are in. This will significantly affect the tree, especially, if you put another tree in with it. His advice is to leave the island the size that it is now, leave the area as it is and not fragment it. It would be good for the trees and you would have room to have another one in there. Brian stated they will look at the parking ordinance ratio and will get back with him. Leaving the island as is would save on asphalt. Scott asked if the small islands will be remove. Brian indicated yes they would, because they are replacing the curb line. Brian will send Scott the new pdf file. Scott will also need to see tree protection plans. Scott indicated that the crabapples that are listed as the ornamental trees are the wrong shape for the parking lot, so he will have other suggestions for the ornamental trees. Chris Ellison, Carmel Fire Department no comments at this time Angie Conn, DOCS, no additional comments at this time. Ryan Hartman CTRWD, outside of their service area David Littlejohn -DOCS, sent a letter with his comments. Brian discussed that David indicated they would need bicycle parking. He showed on a visual where they would be moving the bike parking. David indicated that the parking must be 50 ft. within the entrance. Brian asked about the asphalt path between Carmel and Pennsylvania, there currently is a sidewalk, so would they have to replace the sidewalk or add to it. David responded that per the Alternative Transportation Plan required a 10 ft. path, and anytime you put in a new development there has to be done. David indicated they could discuss a contribution to the Non Reverting Thoroughfare Fund. Alexia Donahue Wold, DOCS, no comments at this time. END 9:25 a.m. Docket No. 07100004 SP Amend: Cherry Tree Grove The applicant seeks approval to amend a secondary plat to show 30 lots on 20.44 acres. The site is located at 14400 Cherry Tree Avenue and is zoned S -2 /Residence. Filed by Dennis Olmstead of Stoeppelwerth Associates for RDJ Land Development. Chris White of CR White Development presented. He was accompanied by Brian Robinson of Stoeppelwerth Engineering. This project was approved earlier this year. In that layout we had 80 ft. wide lots with the market slow down we had put the project on hold. Feedback from builders for the area have indicated that wider lots would be preferable and would be a better marketing concept. So they have dropped 4 lots and widened lots from 80 ft. to 100 ft. The street system did not change at all. There are now 29 lots, plus one large conservation lot. Greg Hoyes Hamilton County Surveyor's Office, no concerns. Nick Redden- Engineering, We are still reviewing the plans and we will get our comments to you as soon as we are able. Shirley Hunter Duke Energy, Shawn South has already been in contact with you and he will be your contact. Christine Barton Holmes -DOCS, no comment. Scott Brewer DOCS, no comments.

Greg Hoyes Hamilton County Surveyor's Office, we would like to see some more drainage calculations. DJ responded that they have the original drainage calculations and he will send them to Greg. Nick Redden- Engineering We are still reviewing the plans and we will get our comments to you as soon as we are able. Shirley Hunter Duke Energy, she has reviewed the existing demand on this building and their transformer will more than handle the load. She distributed the card of the engineer who will be handling the project. They will still need load information. Christine Barton Holmes -DOCS, no comment. Scott Brewer DOCS revised plan presents no problem. He did ask about the large locust on the south corner of the building. If they could be saved, it would be helpful. Chris Ellison, Carmel Fire Department, the existing building has a full fire /sprinkler system, so is the currentl system designed to accommodate the new building. DJ I believes that it was. MEP folks were out yesterday. DJ will let Chris know the status. Angie Conn, DOCS, no additional comments. Ryan Hartman, CTRWD, no comment letter, will get it out today.
