DEPARTMENT REPORT
OCTOBER 19, 2010
1. Docket No. 10080013 DP: Walnut Creek Drive Extension.
The applicant seeks development plan approval to extend Walnut Creek Dr. south to 98 St.
and relocate some utilities. The site is located at the northeast corner of 98 St. and
Michigan Rd., just south of West Carmel Marketplace. The site is zoned B -3 /Business and
lies within the Michigan Rd/US 421 Overlay Zone. Filed by Bill Armstrong.
The applicant seeks development plan approval to add a turn in lane, relocate some utilities and to
extend the internal access road, Walnut Creek Drive, south to 98 St. from 99 Street. The original site
plan and buildings were approved in 2007 under Docket No. 07030037 DP /ADLS, and that approval
expired in August 2010. The petitioner will return at a later date for Plan Commission approval of the
buildings and site plans. Just north of this site is Burger King and Home Depot, which are part of the
West Carmel Marketplace retail center, managed by Casto, Inc.
Please view the petitioner's information packet for further detail.
Staff's outstanding comments for the petitioner:
1. Please submit the development plan application's Findings of Fact sheet at the meeting.
2. Please note that a replat of the current platted lots will most likely be required to shift property
lines and add the easement for the private drive, once you finalize each outlot location and
boundaries. Another option might be for a plat vacation, to vacate the lots and lot lines from the
plat. We can discuss this further at a later date, since this site is made up of platted lots that are part
of the North Augusta plat and the West Carmel Marketplace plat.
3. As of 10/14, the Engineering Dept. is waiting for a response to their review comments letter dated
9/14/10, and the petitioner will respond this week.
Recommendation:
After all comments /concerns are addressed, the Dept of Community Services (DOCS) recommends
that the Plan Commission suspends its rules of procedure and votes to approve this item subject to
Engineering Dept. approve of the final construction documents.
