Leazenby offered no additional comments on the previously approved PUD Ordinance for Gramercy.
John Molitor clarified the Plan Commission's role in "signing off' on this particular resolution. The
Plan Commission's role is to review this type of plan in order to determine whether or not the plan
proposed by the Redevelopment Commission conforms to the Comprehensive Plan for the
community. Whether or not the area is developed as a TIF district is not a part of the review by the
Plan Commission.

H. Public Hearings:
1H. Docket No. 06010003 Z: Guerrero Property PUD CONTINUED TO SEPT 19
The applicant seeks to rezone 38.8 acres from S1 /Residential to PUD /Planned Unit
Development for the purpose of developing attached single family residences and
townhomes.
The site is located at the northwest corner of Towne Road and 131S Street.
Filed by Charles Frankenberger of Nelson and Frankenberger for Indiana Land
Development Co.
2H. Docket No. 06060016 Z: Cherry Tree Grove Rezone
The applicant seeks to rezone 20.44 acres from S1 to S2 to allow for low- density residential
development. Commitments will be filed in conjunction with this request.
The site is located on the east side of Cherry Tree Road, south of 146 Street.
Filed by Matthew Skelton of Baker Daniels, LLP.
Matt Skelton, attorney with Baker Daniels, 600 East 96 Street, appeared before the Commission
representing the applicant. Chris White, RDJ Land Development was also in attendance.
The applicant is requesting a zoning change to S -2 to allow a 34 -lot, low- density residential
development located on the east side of Cherry Tree Road, south of 146 Street. The anticipated
prices of the homes range from $400 to $700,000. A set of commitments has been tendered from
the petitioner that essentially links the proposal to the plan and limits the number of lots to 34 as
shown. The commitments also adopt the City's draft of architectural standards.
The petitioner held a neighborhood open house and had a significant response from the neighbors.
The comments received at the open house were generally supportive and positive. The petitioner
would like to begin earth -work on the site this year in order to eliminate the hassle for the adjacent
property owners and surrounding area for next year. Therefore, a Primary Plat level of detail has
been provided; the petitioner is hoping that there might be an opportunity to expedite the process.
The applicant would like to start construction of the homes in early 2007.
Members of the public were invited to speak in favor of the petition; the following appeared:
Favorable /General
Jeff Brisley, 14558 Cherry Tree Road, representing self and wife Dottie, live on the property
abutting the entire north face of the proposed development. The Brisleys expressed support for
CRWhite Development and RDJ Custom Homes in their request to rezone the 20.44 acres. The
plans regarding Cherry Tree Grove involve keeping the property in as close to the natural setting of
Cherry Tree Road as possible in that the trees will be maintained and preserved in place —a
significant concern for surrounding property owners. The Brisleys asked that the Commission
consider expediting the process. There are a number of children in the area and to move in heavy
equipment and do the earth work now before Spring and Summer would be advantageous for those
persons in residence.
Barry Smalstig, 14320 Cherry Tree Road, representing self and wife, stated that the proposed
S :/P1anCommission/ Minutes /PlanCommission/2006 /2006aug15 2
ONE CIVIC SQUARE
CARMEL, INDIANA 46032 317/571 -2417
development will form the north and east boundary of their property. The Smalstigs are generally
supportive of the proposal, but have the following concerns: What is the density maximum and why
is the change from S -1 to S -2 zoning necessary? Cherry Tree Road is a narrow, twisty, rural road
that now has about 20 single family homes on large wooded lots. Cherry Tree Road has already
been negatively affected by the increased traffic from Pulte Cherry Creek Development (300 plus
homes) that currently open onto Cherry Tree Road in two different locations. Cherry Tree Grove
would probably add 5o to 60 vehicles of daily traffic onto this rural, small road. The residents feel
that they might be able to live with the increased traffic, but the portion of the plan they strenuously
object to is the access road to the adjacent, proposed, 400 -acre Legacy Development. The residents
understand the City's desire for connectivity of neighborhoods, but opening access to The Legacy
Development would put an unreasonable amount of traffic onto Cherry Tree Road. If a connection
is insisted upon, a biking or walking path would be preferable and in keeping with the current
designation of Cherry Tree Road as a biking route. Currently, there is an existing, alternate access to
the proposed subdivision that can be used for emergency vehicles. With the limitations specified, the
residents feel that the Cherry Tree Grove proposal could work.
Unfavorable: None
Rebuttal: Matt Skelton commented that the proposal would be comparable lots to those surrounding
and also to The Legacy lots to the east. The petitioner's clear preference would be not to stub to the
adjoining subdivision to the east; however, it is a requirement of the City and the petitioner will defer
to the Department. The change to S -2 zoning actually allows the plan to happen comparable lot
sizes, and the set aside of the heavily wooded area along Cherry Tree Road in order to preserve the
untouched appearance. The petitioner does understand that he will likely be required to install a
pedestrian pathway along the road. To the extent that the petitioner is not required to make changes,
the petitioner would prefer to leave Cherry Tree Road as it is today.
Department Comments, Matt Griffin The Department has no additional comments at this time and
recommends that this item be referred to the Subdivision Committee on September 5, 2006.
Commission Members Comments /Questions:
Wayne Haney noted that the residents along Cherry Tree Road have been subjected to a great deal of
inconvenience, noise, dirt, construction traffic and equipment. Cherry Tree Road has been used
excessively by construction contractors and this should be monitored more closely —there are a lot of
existing homes in the area.
Dan Dutcher asked for further definition of Lot 34 and what is intended for this area. Exactly what
is the definition of a conservancy lot? This should be reflected in the commitments.
Matt Skelton responded that the petitioner is following the standards set forth in the Ordinance for
Conservancy Lots that allow up to 25% of this parcel to be used as a single home site and the
balance would remain untouched and qualify as part of the open space. No part of the conservancy
lot is wetlands and the single home site is not yet planned but will be a custom home site.
Carol Schleif asked that the lot dimensions be made larger and easier to read. Are there trees that
S:/P1anCommission/ Minutes /P1anCommission/2006 /2006aug15 3
ONE CIVIC SQUARE
CARMEL, INDIANA 46032 317/571 -2417
are being cut down? It would be good if the petitioner were to submit an aerial photo with the
proposed site plan overlaid on it —not opaque —so that it can be viewed easier. Carol agreed that
the lakes should look like natural lakes and not square in shape.
Matt Skelton reported that every tree that can be saved would be saved. However, there are some
trees scattered that may be in the road area. Matt Skelton said he would provide more detailed
information for the Committee.
Dan Dutcher commented that at some point, the Commission would look to the Department to
respond as to how the design standards articulated here compare to the Department's.
Matt Griffin said the Department had withheld comments until the primary plat phase but would
include those comments for Committee discussion. The S -2 zoning has a maximum density of 2.4
units and what is being proposed is 1.6 —less than was permitted in this section under S -1. If the
rezone were approved, it would behoove the Commission to request commitments to limit the
density to something more appropriate as opposed to the 2.4 density.
Matt Skelton responded that the commitments before the Commission include that density
restriction. The petitioner is limiting the development to 34 homesites approximately 1.6 density.
It was determined that there were open items to be addressed and the Commission chose not to
waive its Rules of Procedure.
Docket No. 06060016 Z, Cherry Tree Grove Rezone was referred to the Subdivision Committee
for further review on Tuesday, September 5, 2006 in the Caucus Rooms of City Hall.
3H. Docket No. 06060023 DP /ADLS: Bill Estes Pre -Owned Facility CONT. TO.
SEPT 19
The applicant seeks to construct a new, 9,350- square foot, pre -owned vehicle sales facility.
Variances for signage, landscaping, and bufferyards will be filed.
The site is located at 4102 West 96 Street and 9884 Michigan Road, and is zoned B2.
Filed by Mary Solada of Bingham McHale LLP for Bill Estes Chevrolet.
4H. Docket No. 06060018 DP Amend: Village Center /Peripheral Retail VOWC
The applicant seeks to modify the existing site plan and Development Requirements for the
Village of West Clay— Village Center and Peripheral Retail Area.
The site is located at Towne Road and 131' Street, and is zoned PUD.
Filed by Keith Lash of Brenwick TND Communities, LLC.
George Sweet, Brenwick Development appeared before the Commission representing the applicant. Also in
attendance: Keith Lash.
Brenwick is requesting three modifications to the existing site plans One modification is for the creation of a
new lot category for the Village Center. The second modification would be for revising the district exhibit —in
essence, swapping a portion of the retail area for senior housing. The third modification is for the peripheral
retail area of signage.

CARMEL, INDIANA 46032 317/571 -2417
There are three basic areas that are not fully developed at this point; currently there are about 10 buildings in
existence in the mixed use. The petitioner is getting a lot of innovative architecture and design concepts that
they would like to have addressed.
The current request for modifications does not compromise the single and multi family housing in the Village
Center and does not increase or change the density. The minimum lot area would remain unchanged; however,
the minimum lot width would change from 32 to 30 feet; the minimum lot depth would be by reducing it 10
feet; and the minimum build -to line would be reduced to 5 feet. The aggregate side yard would be 12% of the
width, (currently 20 the minimum side yard would be no change, the rear is zero in the sense that most of
the rear yards have alleys. In the Village Center with the common parking, there would not be any alleys. The
maximum height in the Village Center would be increased to 50 feet and would match the height of some of the
commercial buildings and the Meeting House. Finally, the maximum coverage would go to 80% as opposed to
currently 60
The Senior Housing is currently under construction —the residential and commercial areas would be switched.
The signage in the peripheral/retail area was originally at 12 inches. The petitioner is requesting no limit on
the height of letters so that signage would fit with the architecture of the building.
Members of the public were invited to speak in favor of the petition; no one appeared.
Members of the public were invited to speak in opposition to the petition; the following appeared:
Marilyn Anderson, 3884 Shelborne Court noted that the Village of WestClay is special, and has repeatedly
asked to have its own rules or to change the rules over the zoning. It is an exception to say that Brenwick
should be allowed to do anything it wants. Brenwick is making some requests that have previously been
refused. Marilyn referred to a plan proposed by Brenwick in October 2004 that left Commission and went on
to the City Council with the last amendments. The commercial area was on both sides of the entrance road
and the senior housing removed from that area. The City Council did not approve that plan and restricted the
commercial area west of Towne Road in order to minimize the impact of commercial. Now, the Village of
WestClay is asking to trade back. At that time, Councilors made statements in order to send a clear message
of the intent to keep commercial off of Towne Road and that it was important to contain the commercial usage
within the Village of WestClay so that it would match the original concept used to gain approval. The current
proposal seems to be a way to circumvent what City Council specified.
Another refusal was the signage— reduced at the City Council level. Also at Council there were discussions
that the commercial area would be different from the typical commercial development to grab the attention of
people driving by to entice them to come in and buy; the reasoning was that the goal was not to advertise to
drivers, but to identify the stores to people already in the shopping area. Therefore, there was not a need for
large signs and larger signs were seen as detracting from a more pleasant walking environment and would
make the area more like a typical commercial area, not someplace special. Again, this seems an attempt to
circumvent the message given by City Council.
Hearing that a residential building is going to be 50 feet high and only a few feet between them, the "towering
effect" should be considered. Five stories could be 50 feet —most of the Michigan Road corridor is restricted
to 35 feet or less, although there is a small part where Marsh is located that is zoned B -2 and is permitted up
to 60 feet, but that is only a small part. The concern with this proposal is the massing of the buildings and this
should be reviewed. In regard to the location of commercial and the signage, the message was given at City
Council.
S:/P1anCommission/ Minutes /PlanCommission/2006 /2006aug15 5

CARMEL, INDIANA 46032 317/571 -2417
Brian Baker, 2495 Durbin Drive, president of Crossfields Homeowners Assoc., echoed concern with the
towering effect of the buildings. Also, the commercial property was to have been community serving by
moving the commercial property to Towne Road and making the signage even more area serving —this would
increase the traffic along Towne Road that has already seen a substantial increase in traffic north on Towne
Road to Westfield.
Dee Fox, 11389 Royal Court, referred to the height of the buildings and said that was a bone of contention at
the last round of request for the height of the senior housing —that request was denied. Ms. Fox was opposed
to any increase in the current height, 40 or 45 feet.
Mary Ellen Bormet, Board President of Laural Lakes Community, was opposed to any height
increase and was concerned about the possibility of additional traffic with the increase of commercial
areas to Towne Road that would serve more than the local area of the Village of WestClay.
Rebuttal, George Sweet: The area referred to by Marilyn Anderson was several Iterations ago and
was taken out of the request —the City Council had agreed to commercial in the general area and it is
already built as such. The current request has nothing to do with height; it is a neighborhood center
anticipated to serve the neighborhood. It is difficult from a signage standpoint —the neighborhood
cannot be served well if there is no signage to identify the name and location of the establishment.
The height is completely within the Village Center and is no higher than some of the buildings that
are already there —it has nothing to do with the height. It is important to note that the height issue
and the modification of the housing is strictly within the Village Center. The commercial aspect is
one lot, and the aspect of the neighborhood center is very important. When the project was first
approved in 1999, there were 1400 homes approved; currently there are over 10,000 homes
approved but not necessarily built.
Regarding traffic, the Village is currently constructing the Towne Road extension with its own funds;
there will be a round about at 131S built by the City. The Village is also building two additional
round abouts, all of which have been approved by the City and reviewed by their design engineer.
Department Comments, Matt Griffin: Nothing additional at this time. The Department is
comfortable with this item as proposed and would support suspension of the Rules of Procedure.
Otherwise, if the Commission would like further discussion as far as history, previous requests, and
the current request, the Department would agree with sending this item to Special Studies
Committee in order to "even out" the workload.
Jerry Chomanczuk announced that the public hearing is now closed and any further public input
would be at the discretion of the Committee chairperson.
Commission Comments:
Dan Dutcher asked how much additional commercial frontage would be added to Towne Road.
George Sweet responded that it would be 150 to 200 feet.
Matt Griffin explained that as initially approved by City Council, any minor alterations to the
S:/P1anCommission/ Minutes /P1anCommission/2006 /2006aug15 6
ONE CIVIC SQUARE
CARMEL, INDIANA 46032 317/571 -2417
Development Plan would be at the discretion of the Plan Commission and treated as an amendment.
Jerry Chomanczuk said it would be helpful to have what is proposed and the previously approved
Ordinance before the Committee for the sake of comparison.
Susan Westermeier suggested that Council be made aware and give their blessing to the increased
area of commercial on Towne Road.
Carol Schleif requested a blue -line /red -line copy of Ordinance Z -330 and the February 7th
amendment so that the changes are readily seen. Carol also asked if the building height could be
limited to three stories.
George Sweet said he would produce mock -up copies of the Ordinance from 1999 to the
modifications made, to the present proposal. Mr. Sweet said that from an innovative standpoint, he
would not want to limit to three floors —he would be OK with four floors —that is what the senior
housing was approved at —four floors.
Docket No. 06060018 DP Amend, Village Center /Peripheral Retail -VOWC was referred to the
Special Studies Committee for further review on September 5, 2006.
Note: Item 5H was heard in conjunction with item 2I under Old Business and considered
separately.
511 Docket No. 06070007 DP /ADLS: 122 Penn Development.
The applicant seeks to construct two, 3 -story office buildings, out of three proposed buildings
total, on a 27.41 -acre office park.
The site is located at the northeast corner of 122 Street and Pennsylvania Street, and is
currently zoned R1 and M3, with a B3 rezone request pending.
Filed by Paul Reis of Bose McKinney Evans, LLP for Panattoni Development, LLC.
Paul Reis, attorney with Bose McKinney Evans appeared before the Commission representing the
applicant. Also in attendance: John Jaffe, project manager with Panattoni Development; Fred
Simmons, Simmons Assoc, architects; Andy Gertham and Brian Muhl, American Consulting
Engineers; Steve Granner, Land Planner with Bose McKinney Evans.
An aerial view of the site was displayed. The petitioner is proposing to construct an office park on
the 27 acres of undeveloped land located at the northeast corner of 122 and Pennsylvania Streets.
Mr. Reis highlighted some of the uses and the zoning in the area. The area will be improved when
the round -about is completed at Old Meridian.
Three buildings are proposed; two have been submitted for architectural design, one building is
shown as a footprint only to show calculation of parking, etc. for a building this size. The footprint
of the building may change and if this were the case, the petitioner would return for a Development
Plan Amendment. There is ingress /egress off 122n Street, a main entry off Pennsylvania Street into
the site, and the retention area.
S:/P1anCommission/ Minutes /PlanCommission/2006 /2006aug15 7
ONE CIVIC SQUARE
CARMEL, INDIANA 46032 317/571 -2417
The petitioner is wanting to create something other than a "sea of asphalt;" whether the trees end up
in the exact positions is uncertain, but the intent is consistent with what the Department Report is
suggesting and its recommendations. This is a fairly large tract of land and it does need to be
carefully planned. The buildings have been designed to work and are consistent with the various
uses in the area.
Scott Brewer, Urban Forester has submitted his comments regarding the landscape plan, and the plan
has been based upon the site plan. There was some concern with the buffering along 122n Street
and along Pennsylvania Street. Those issues can be addressed, but as the site plan is changed, the
landscape plan will be amended. At this time, the petitioner is working through the Staff comments
and will be submitting revisions to Scott Brewer prior to the September 05 Special Studies
Committee.
Paul Reis noted that the petitioner has worked hard to come up with buildings that are consistent and
complementary to all the buildings in this area. Building design will be gone over further at the
Committee level. As the site design is established, the photo- metric lighting plan will be submitted.
Members of the public were invited to speak in favor of or opposition to this petition; no one
appeared and the public hearing was closed.
Department Report, Matt Griffin: The Department is recommending this item be referred to the
Special Studies Committee for further review and discussion on September 5th
Commission Comments /Questions:
Jerry Chomanczuk noted that there are at least one dozen comments and questions on the
Department Report. Where are we on getting those comments addressed?
Matt Griffin responded that the Department has not received revised plans Scott Brewer finished
reviewing the project late yesterday and official comments were just received regarding the current
proposed landscape plan. Otherwise, no proposed amendments or changes have been received to
address the Department Report.
Jerry Chomanczuk commented that the parking areas associated with the buildings do not really
specify the number of spaces. There should be a 3 to 1 ratio —at least 680 parking spaces for the
two buildings. Also, will any of the third building be retail?
Matt Griffin responded that there is actually one extra space. The petitioner is providing one space
for every 250 square feet of office space.
Paul Reis said it is too early to know whether or not there will be retail in the third building.
Wayne Haney commented that this is a very important site and more creative use could be made of
the retention pond. The entrances are non descript and the buildings should be softened a little and
made more inviting.
S:/P1anCommission/ Minutes /P1anCommission/2006 /2006aug15 8
ONE CIVIC SQUARE
CARMEL, INDIANA 46032 317/571 -2417
Sue Wetermeier agreed with Wayne Haney's comments and said there is really nothing "Wow!"
about the buildings —they are sort of boring.
Paul Reis responded that these are nice buildings, but would not win an architectural award. There
are no architectural standards for this area —there are for the old US 31 Overlay zone and Old
Meridian, but no standards in this area.
Carol Schleif noted that there are "un- boring" buildings in this area and a lot of it has to do with
differing massing of the buildings —three stories, two stories, varying the building height, there is
articulation around the windows, there are patterns and variations of the amount of attention to detail
given on the facade. One building has an unusual skylight in it.
John Molitor commented that perhaps some of these concerns could have been addressed when the
rezone was under consideration perhaps it will come up at City Council review of the rezone. If
the rezone goes through, we are limited in the ADLS review.
Matt Griffin said that the DP /ADLS is the appropriate time to review the building and the
architecture. On the other side of Pennsylvania, there is substantially high -end landscaping and
building design requirements. To the north of the round -about is the Old Meridian district that
specifically calls out building massing, building sizes, etc. Technically, while not in that District, the
petitioner chose some massing for the site as a contextual reference. As a point of reference, it is
close enough to be shown as context. Whether or not it is included in the Overlay Zone would be up
to the City Council to rezone —or it could be part of a commitment to the rezone that the Overlay
Standards would apply to this parcel.
Paul Reis clarified that the petitioner is building the buildings, and part of the ADLS review is not
only this building, but other buildings in the area that are not as nice as the Conseco headquarters
building. We take the whole content of the area; we would not be allowed to build a building that
would have a detrimental effect on the adjacent property uses. The proposed buildings are
appropriate for this particular site.
Jerry Chomanczuk said he was not unduly concerned, but would like to see LEEDS requirements
introduced at the Committee level —there is a wide range of LEEDS innovations that could be
incorporated into the project without being a significant cost factor. It could be as simple as adding
a bicycle rack to the site.
Matt Griffin responded that some of those things had been discussed previously such as a circuit path
around the site, introduction of bio- swales, even allowing shower facilities in some of the buildings,
day lighting —the Department has gone over a number of LEEDS innovations and possibilities.

21. Docket No. 06060004 Z: 122 Pennsylvania Rezone
The applicant seeks to rezone 27.41 acres from R1 and M3 to B3 to allow for
medium density commercial office development.
The site is located on the northeast corner of 122n Street and Pennsylvania Street.
Filed by Paul Reis of Bose McKinney Evans LLP for Panattoni Development.
Paul Reis, attorney with Bose McKinney Evans appeared before the Commission representing the
applicant. The site located at the northeast corner of 122n Street and Pennsylvania Street has split
zoning —M -3 consistent with portions of the Conseco campus, warehouse and light industrial, and a
portion that is still zoned R -1 residential. The petitioner has filed for a rezone to B -3 district that
provides flexibility to address the development of this site consistent with some of the unique areas.
This petition was reviewed by Special Studies Committee and received a 3 -0 unanimous vote
recommending approval.
Department Comments, Matt Griffin: The Department has no outstanding comments or concerns
regarding the rezone and recommend forwarding to City Council with a positive recommendation.
Committee report, Leo Dierckmanw What we are seeing is more a housekeeping issue and the rezone
seems to be a logical sep. The Committee voted 3 -0 to recommend approval.
Susan Westermeier made formal motion to forward Docket No. 06060004 Z, 122 and
Pennsylvania Rezone to the City Council with a positive recommendation, seconded by
Carol Schleif, Approved 8 -0.

Here followed open discussion regarding the proposed amendments to the Rules of Procedure.
The amendment was prompted by confusion earlier this year whereby members of the public seemed
to be under the impression that the public hearing is permanently left open and the public could
S:/P1anCommission/ Minutes /PlanCommission/2006 /2006aug15 10
ONE CIVIC SQUARE
CARMEL, INDIANA 46032 317/571 -2417
continue to appear and testify before the Commission even after the matter was returned from
Committee.
This matter was discussed at Executive Committee; the Rule would be that the President must close
the public hearing after Staff Comments /Department Report. There is no discretion to leave the
hearing open for additional public testimony after the proposal is returned to Commission from the
Committee. This does not preclude the petitioner or even Staff from recommending that the Rules
of Procedure be suspended and that the matter not be forwarded to Committee but brought to an
immediate vote.
Regarding consequences of a withdrawn proposal by the petitioner or defeated, either by the Plan
Commission or City Council in the case of a rezone: This amendment was prompted by the Fortune
Farms proposal that was referred to City Council. There was a desire by the petitioner to withdraw
the proposal before it came to a vote. The City Council took the position he could not withdraw the
petition and then defeated the proposal. Regarding the Plan Commission Rules of Procedure, this
situation was discussed —if a petition is withdrawn before it is defeated, there is a lock -out period
with respect to reconsidering the same proposal or subject matter that is the same real estate parcel.
In the case where a proposal is withdrawn, the lockout period would be three months before the
same parcel could be considered —it would be six months if the identical proposal were submitted to
the Commission and then on to the City Council in the case of a rezone.
Essentially, the time period would be doubled in the case of proposals that are defeated by the Plan
Commission. There would be a one -year lock -out period before the same plat could be submitted
for reconsideration; there would be a six month lock -out period before another plat could be
submitted regarding the same parcel of real estate.
Leo Dierckman made formal motion to approve the amendments to the Rules of Procedure as
recommended by the Executive Committee, seconded by Dan Dutcher, Approved 8 -0.
Susan Westermeier made formal motion to approve Amendment A and Amendment B to the
Commission's Rules of Procedure, seconded by Madeleine Torres, Approved 8 -0.
