CC: Fifth Third Bank via Expesite CB Richard Ellis via Expesite CARMEL PLAN COMMISSION DEPARTMENT REPORT JANUARY 18, 2012 3. Docket No. 11110009 DP /ADLS: Fifth Third Bank. The applicant seeks site plan and design approval for a new bank building. The site is located at 205 E. Carmel Dr. The site is zoned B-8/Business and lies within the Carmel Dr. Range Line Rd. Overlay Zone. Filed by Kurt Prosser of GPD Group. The applicant seeks site and design approval to demolish an existing building and erect a new Fifth Third Bank. This site currently contains an office building. The new bank building will be two stories with offices for the bank on the upper floor. The building will be comprised mostly of brick and stucco with a stone base and some transparent glass and some spandrel (opaque) glass. This site is located just west of the Carmel Racquet Club and east of a two story office building. Three variances are being requested from the overlay. One is to allow the floor area ratio to be less than 0.5; one is to allow the building to occupy less than the required 70% of the frontage, and one is to allow a ground sign which is prohibited. One ground sign is proposed for the building. This will require a variance because ground signs are prohibited in the Carmel Dr. Range Line Rd. Overlay. The ground sign is 31.99 sq. ft. and 5.5 ft. tall. 45 sq. ft. is allowed by the Sign Ordinance. It is proposed to be a cabinet style sign with a stone base to match the building. Petitioner, please provide a rendering that shows the stone base on the sign drawing. The Department would also request that the sign only have the logo and name shine through at night, with the background opaque. This way the sign will appear to have individual letters. The site will also have some regulatory/safety signs for identification and direction. These include Clearance, ATM, Night Depository and Do not enter signs. These are all less than 3 sq. ft. and are permitted by the Sign Ordinance. Window signs will also be displayed to show the hours and other pertinent information for customers. These are all less than 30% of the total window area and meet the Sign Ordinance requirements. The Forestry Department has approved the landscape plan. Please view the petitioner's information packet for further detail. Staff's outstanding comments for the petitioner: 1. Please indicate a 50 ft half right of way along Carmel Drive consistent with the Thoroughfare Plan. 2. Staff would like less spandrel glazing on the windows and more transparent glass per Ordinance Chapter 23F.10.01. 3. Suggestion to re use the stone that is on the current building. 4. Please extend the "future drive location" further south to connect to the "future cross access drive." 5. How do vehicles turn around at the "Do not enter" area? Could this be an issue? 6. The Engineering Department is still working with the petitioner on their review comments, including compliance with the Thoroughfare Plan Alternative Transportation Plan. Recommendation: The Dept of Community Services (DOCS) recommends that the Plan Commission sends this item to the February 7 Subdivision Committee meeting for further review and discussion. 5 January 20, 2012 2 Submittal Mr. Kurt Prosser GPD Group 1801 Watermark Drive, Suite 150 Columbus, OH 43215 RE: 5/3 Retail Facility Carmel 205 East Carmel Drive Dear Mr. Prosser: Technical Advisory Committee Engineering Review for Development Drainage Designs The stormwater review of the proposed construction plans and drainage calculations for the above referenced project has been completed.

The profile sheets shall also include plan views for the pipe runs. b. The limits of granular backfill shall be hatched and labeled. c. Per Section 501.01, the minimum vertical separation between storm and sanitary facilities shall be 2 -ft. The 12" clear space dimension on the profile view between Str's #CB4 and CB5 should be revised to indicate a minimum of 2 -ft. vertical separation. If this cannot be achieved, the sanitary sewer shall be encased in concrete or ductile steel within 5 ft., each side, of the crossing centerline. 2. In addition to the minimum 6" orifice summary table, the Grading Plan, Sheet C -121, shall also include the Stormwater Management Post Development Table (included in the drainage report for the orifice sizing per allowable release rate), and the orifice size elevation information for the allowable release rate scenario. Please also note that the tables will have different "required storage" volumes, but they should both have the same "storage provided" volumes. Please review and revise accordingly. 3. Please verify how the site's 100 -year elevation of 836.51 was determined. Per Comment #16 of Gary Duncan's e-mail dated December 27, 2011- #16. Please label the proposed MLAG and MFPG elevations and include the definitions of these elevations. Please confirm that these elevations are based on the maximum water surface elevations resulting from the 100 -year rain fall event on -site assuming all inlets are clogged.

Dennis Green Real Estate Director Fifth Third Bank 1404 East Ninth Street Cleveland, OH 44114 Dear Mr. Green, Trip Generation Proposed Land Use G!aus, lye, Schomer, Burns BeHaven, Inc Trip Generation Assessment Proposed Fifth Third Bank 205 E. Carmel Drive, Carmel, IN Akron Office 520 South Main Street Suite 2531 Akron, OH 44311 tel 330.572.2100 fax 330.572.2101 www.gpdgroup.com 2011123.14 January 27, 2012 The purpose of this letter is to provide a trip generation assessment for the proposed Fifth Third Bank to be located at 205 E. Carmel Drive and compare these anticipated traffic volumes to the traffic which is currently generated by the existing office building occupying the site. The proposed Fifth Third Bank will consist of an 8,427 square foot building with four (4) drive -in lanes. See Attachment 1 for an area location map and Attachment 2 for the proposed site plan. The site of the proposed Fifth Third Bank is currently occupied by a multiple tenant office building and is a midblock lot with one existing driveway. This driveway is located on E. Carmel Drive and will continue to provide full access to the site as depicted in the site plan. The driveway will be geometrically modified to fit the site but will not require any additional curb cuts. See Attachment 3 for an existing survey of the site. The trip generation calculations were performed for the proposed Fifth Third Bank utilizing the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual, 8' Edition. This manual is a composite of numerous traffic counts at specific sites throughout the country and is considered the national standard for estimating the amount of traffic that will be generated by a proposed development. The proposed Fifth Third Bank will be open during normal business hours during the week. As such, trip generation calculations will include the AM peak hour traffic and the PM peak hour traffic. The proposed Fifth Third Bank was determined to correspond to Land Use 912 (Drive -In Bank) and the independent variable utilized in the trip generation is the number of drive -in lanes, which in this case is four (4). See Attachment 4 for trip generation calculations of the proposed land use. According to the Trip Generation Manual, the proposed drive -in bank would be anticipated to generate the following trip ends: Proposed Fifth Third Bank Trip Generation Assessment January 27, 2012 Existing Land Use Comparison LAND USE 912 Drive -In Bank 1. Weekday AM Peak Hour (i.e. morning rush hour): =38 trip ends (22 enter and 16 exit) 2. Weekday PM Peak Hour (i.e. afternoon rush hour): =110 trip ends (53 enter and 57 exit) As shown above, the proposed Fifth Third Bank is anticipated to generate 38 trips during the AM peak hour (22 entering and 16 exiting) and 110 new trips during the PM peak hour (53 entering and 57 exiting). For purposes of comparison, the trip generation of the existing office building was calculated utilizing the same procedure as outlined for the proposed Fifth Third Bank. The independent variable utilized in the trip generation for the existing General Office Building (Land Use 710 per the Trip Generation Manual) is thousand square feet of gross floor area, which in this case is 11.788. See Attachment 5 for trip generation calculations of the existing land use. According to the Trip Generation Manual, the existing office building is currently generating the following trip ends: LAND USE 710 General Office Building 1. Weekday AM Peak Hour (i.e. morning rush hour): 34 trip ends (30 enter and 4 exit) 2. Weekday PM Peak Hour (i.e. afternoon rush hour): =92 trip ends (16 enter and 76 exit) As shown above, the existing office building is currently generating 34 trips during the AM peak hour (30 entering and 4 exiting) and 92 new trips during the PM peak hour (1 6 entering and 76 exiting). Since trips from the existing office building would be removed from the roadway network following redevelopment of the subject property, a comparison of the existing and proposed land use trip generation was performed to determine the net change in site traffic. Table 1 on the following page details the comparison between the existing office building and proposed Fifth Third Bank. Page 2 of 3 Proposed Fifth Third Bank Trip Generation Assessment Land Use Existing Office Building (LUC 710) Fifth Third Bank Trips (LUC 912) Net Trip Change Table 1- Trip Generation Comparison AM Peak PM Peak Total 34 38 4 Entering 30 22 -8 4 92 Exiting Total 16 110 12 18 Entering 16 53 37 76 Exiting 57 As shown in Table 1, the proposed Fifth Third Bank is expected to generate slightly more trips during the AM and PM peak hours (4 more trips during the AM and 18 more trips during the PM) following redevelopment of the site. While the proposed development is anticipated to generate more traffic than the existing office building, the results indicate that the minimal traffic increase generated from the proposed Fifth Third Bank will not affect ingress and egress from the site or have an adverse impact on the public roadway system.
