D. Public Hearing:
Id.
Kite Medical Office Complex
The applicant seeks approval to eliminate build-to lines on US 31 & Pennsylvania St.
Docket No. 04040020 V 23B.08.01(C) Build-to lines
The site is located northeast of 126th Street and US Highway 31, at the 13000 Block of
N. Pennsylvania St. The site is zoned B-2/Business within the US 31 Overlay Zone.
Filed by Mark Monroe of Drewry Simmons, Pitts & Vomehm for Kite Companies.
Present for the Petitioner: Paul Reis and Mark Monroe, attorneys for Kite Development Company, Inc.
This particular site was approved for development in the fall of 2000. However, at that time, the project
did not proceed and two years have passed. Therefore, in light of the delay from that approval date
without extension, Kite Development has gained control of the site and seeks to develop it. However, it
has had to make a change in the development plan primarily due to the future upgrade and design of
U.S. 31. The Plan Commission has approved the ADLS and the Revised Development Plan. This
variance is from the requirements of the U.S. 31 Overlay Zone, which require that the buildings, with
regard to orientation to U.S. 31, be set at 90-foot build-to line. The information packet was shown and
shared. The State Highway Department plans for U.S. 31 were discussed. The variance is to allow Kite
and the Department of Community Services to continue to review the anticipated fight-of-way needs of
U.S. 31 as they move through the building process. They are only looking at Phase I, not any additional
building at this time.
Discussion continued regarding the location of the building with and without the variance.
Mr. Monroe stated that the variance allows them to push the building back.
Mr. Reis stated that the parking is adequate. If the building is moved back, some parking spaces may
have to be reallocated.
Members of the public were invited to speak in favor or opposition to the petition; no one appeared.
The Public Heating was closed.
