Filed by Joe Calderon of Bose McKinney Evans, LLP.
Joe Calderon presented. He was accompanied by Miles Floetkef of Lawn Pride, Chris
Wiseman of Cripe Engineering and Mark Zukerman of MZA.
This is a small infill project just east of 106"' and Towne Rd. This will be a luxury
subdivision 9 lots on approximately 12 acres. We have determined that there is demand
for this type of subdivision. It will be a gated community with low or no maintenance.
There will be significant tree preservation area on the east end of the property.
Greg Hoyes Hamilton County Surveyor's Office has sent a letter, since it is a primary
plat we cannot review in deep detail. It will be a regulated drain subdivision. We require
separation between public right of ways and ponds. Just do alternative barriers. No
planting in easements. We will review water quality at a later date. There should be no
driveway encroachments into easements.
Nick Redden- Engineering This project is outside of the Department's jurisdiction.
Dave Lucus, Hamilton County Highway Department He and Lance spoke last week
on the phone. David reviewed some of the highway concerns at that time, one of which is
site distance to the east side and the location of the drive in relation to that site distance.
He realized the petitioners will be meeting out at the location in the near future and if you
do not agree we will need verification that you do have adequate site distance to the east.
This will not negate the need for a deceleration lane as well as a deceleration taper. David
stressed this is a critical item. The cul -de -sac length will go before the Board for a
variance due to the extended length. Need verification from the City of Carmel that there
are no problems with the circle and the cul -de -sac that it is adequate for fire trucks and
other emergency vehicles. The last thing is the drain outlet, we do not allow water to drain
directly into the County right -of -way and it appears this is very close to the outlet on 106"'
street. When we get more detailed plans he can take a closer look.
The petitioner stated that a site visit had been done and they have determined that they
need to move the entrance to the east by about 75 ft. They agree with David and they feel
more comfortable that it is safe. They will re- engineer the entrance; this will also give the
150 ft. deceleration lane. A revised set of plans should be available in the next 7 10
days. They are also willing to meet individually with TAC members.
Scott Brewer DOCS, he will wait for the revised set of plans.
Alexia Donahue Wold, DOCS represented David Littlejohn Alternative Transportation
Coordinator no further comments at this time.
Angie Conn, DOGS, no further comments at this time.
