RE: Main Street Plaza Development - Project Review 2
Dear Mr. Phillips:
The City has received your conmaent letter and revised drawings dated June 18, 2004. Thank you for
addressing the City's comments. Based on a review of your conunents and the submitted drawings, the
issues from the City's first review on February 13, 2004 were satisfactorily addressed with the following
exceptions:
1. The detail for the City straight curb has not been added to the plans and the keynote which
references the curb has not been revised. Please add the City standard detail to the detail sheets
and reference the detail itself rather than the text "Per City of Carnrel Standards".
Based on the same City review, the City offers the following conunents:
Site Platt
1. The west half of the north entrance is somewhat confusing. The walk appears to be integral curb
and walk (Keynote "N") yet the keynotes define that it should be constructed as separate curb and
~valk (Keynotes "B' and "M") immediately adjacent to each other. Please clarify on the drawings.
2. The ADA ramp at the intersection of Main and Guilford shows that the ramp would terminate at a
straight curb. Please revise so there is not a 6-inch curb at the ramp end.
3. There are no apparent keynotes on the Site Plan that reference Keynotes "C', "K" and "V".
4. The City understands that the Outdoor Seating area is included as an Alternate on the plans for
pricing pnrposes. Please understand that this Department's approval of the drawings will not
include the Outdoor Seating Area as drawn. Please provide a note on the drawings that states the
Outdoor Seating Area is pending Board of Public Works and Safety approval and cannot be
constructed withont this approval.
5. There is one keynote for ADA ramps and two details. Please clarify on the drawings.
6. ls the walkway shown behind the xvestern wing of the building integral cnrb and walk or is this
walkway flush with the existing pavement?
Grading Platt
7. It is apparent from the grading plan that the ADA ramp on the west side of the north entrance xvill
trap walcr. Will the ramp landing be pitched towards the parking lot?
8. Thc City understands that grading down to thc west property line is a critical area, however, will
thc parking lot grading in this area down to the inlet south of the dumpster pad create ponding
problems in the parking lot? Although not a condition for approval, the City recommends creating
Fxx 317 571 2i3)
Mr. Darrell G. Phillips
8/2/2004
Page 2 of 2
a valley gutter at the front of the parking stalls to channel water directly towards the inlet rather
than directing it west and then back easterly to enter the inlet.
Utility Platt
9. Typically, the Utility Department requires existing water main services to be capped at the main,
not at the property line as shown. Please contact the Utility Department for clarification.
10. The detail for the detention pond outlet references the Utility plan for dimensions for the openings.
The City did not see these dimensions. Please label the critical detention pond and outlet piping
elevations on the plan or the detail to ensure that the structure is ordered and installed correctly.
Details
11.
Please edit the Right-of-Way pavement detail from that requested on our previous review to be the
following: 1.5" H.A.C. Surface #11 over 5" H.A.C. Base #5D over 7" Compacted #53 Stone over
4" Compacted #2 Stone.
12. Are the thickened edge/interface sections to be installed within the existing and proposed right-of-
way?
13. The Curb Turnout detail is labeled for installation in existing curbing. Will this detail be
implemented on existing or proposed curbing?
14. Please delineate the bedding and initial backfill limits on the RCP Trench Details. The lin'fits are
iuferrcd but not specific. Please show the imits of initial backfill to be 6-inches above the spring
line of the pipe for both details.
15. Is the Trench Cut at Pavement and Bituminous Asphalt Patching details for the same application?
Please delete one of the details if this is the case.
If you have questions, you may contact Mike McBride or me at 571-244t.

RE: West Main Street Plaza ~ Right of Wa)' Dedication
Dear Board Members:
Mr. Joseph F. Peil, Managing Member of Main & Guilford Plaza, LLC, has requested the Board sign the
Dedication of Public Right of Way documents presented for approval. These documents dedicate 40-feet
of right of way for the west half of Guilford Road and 60-feet or right of way on the south half of West
Main Street, both adjacent to the Grantor's land. This dedication of right of way satisfies the requirement
of the City of Carmel's 20-Year Thoroughfare Plan regarding these streets. On behalf of the City of
Carmel, I would like to thank Mr. Peil and Main & Guilford Plaza, LLC for this dedication.
On behalf of the City of Carmel, I recommend the Board accept and sign these documents.
Sincerely,

Re: Main & Guilford Plaza, LLC: Docket 04020008ADLS
Dear Ms. Allison and Ms. Gregory:
Thank you for your letter dated March 15th to the Carmel Plan Commission, as well as
Mr. Gregory's subsequent phone call to me. Your letter was forwarded to me, as attorney for
Main & Guilford Plaza, LLC. Please understand that my client does not propose any "auto body
shop" to operate on the southwest corner of Main & Guilford. While there will be auto repair
and service, it will not include any repair of wrecked or junked vehicles, nor will it require
storage of any such vehicles.
Additionally, and in response to your questions concerning other proposed operations,
them will be no gasoline/fueling island or pumps, and no underground storage tanks. There will
be above-ground (275 gallon) tanks lbr used oil, transmission fluid, and similar liquids. Those
tanks will be properly emptied by third parties and will be kept away from ignition/heat sources.
The facility will have adequate bay space and ventilation so that work will be performed inside,
and there will be no release of noxious fumes into the air.
As you probably saw at the Plan Commission hearing, my client proposes a first class
mixed use center for this comer. Because there will be other tenants in the building, them is
every incentive for Joe's Auto Service to operate in a manner which is compatible with those
tenants, and the surrounding neighborhoods. It is my client's intention to turn this former gas
station into a project that the residents of Carmel can be proud of, and I believe what they have
submitted to the City bears that out.

Carmel, Indiana 46032
To Whom It May Concern:
This letter is in reference to the letters received conczrningl~l~~ The
rezoning of the parcel at the comer of Main Sixeet and Guilford Road is of particular
importance to us. We live in Wilson Village and our homes are along Guilford Road. We
fear that the presence of an auto-body shop at this location would detract from the
esthetic and monetary value of our homes.
An auto-body shop, by nature, is a noisy and odiferous business as well as a visually
unattractive one. The fumes produraxi by this type of industry are not conducive to the
health of our neighborhood. We have asthmatics and individuals suffering from
emphysema in the very near vicinity. The parking lot would be used to park cars waiting
to be repaired, some of which would be damaged in collisions, thus giving the area a
"junk-yard" appearance. This would not be the impression that we wish to give to those
who are passing by our homes, visitors or potential buyers.
For the reasons stated above, we strongly object to the proposal regarding an auto-body
shop in this area and respectfully ask the board to prevent any change in the zoning that
would allow this to occur.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

RE: Main & Guilford Plaza ADLS
Dear Mr. Calderon:
This letter is in response to the application filed for ADLS at 811 West Main Street At this time the
Department is formulating the necessary documentation to rezone the subject property form Old
Meridian / Multi Family (OM/MF) to Old Meridian / Mixed Use (OM/MU). That request will be placed
on the Plan Commission agenda for consideration on March 16, 2004. It is likely that the Plan
Commission will forward the item to committee for discussion on March 30 and return it to the full
Commission on April 20, 2004 for forwarding to the City Council. Th.e heating in front of the City
Council would likely occur on May 3~ with final action taking place on May 17t~ or June 7t~. With that
said we would ask the Commission to review your application and approve it subject to the favorable
resolution of the rezone request.
The following comments are based on review as if the property were zoned OM/MU:
Architectural Design: 1. EIFS shall not be used within 8' of the ground. Cast stone would be a suggested
material.
2. The building needs a def'med base.
3. Make all cornice work 360 degrees around elevated fagade.
4. The elevation of the trash enclosure attached to the building is not consistent with the
width represented on the site plan. Please revise.
5. Show building / brick detail on south and west elevations.
6. Is there a rear customer door into the Auto Service area? If so, where on elevations?
Signage:
7.
Provide greater detail of proposed signs for this application as well as Variance requests.
We need to further discuss the requested relief for signage. The Department will
support some level of relief. In the past the BZA has provided relief for this type of
building allowing it to be considered as a Multi-tenant Ground Floor w/th Multi-tenant
Building Complex ground signs.
Illustrate location on building for proposed signage.
Nothing on the plans reflects ground signage. Please amend plans and submit elevations
of proposed signage.

Future signs will need to return to the Plan Commassion if not defined as part of this
application.
Lighting:

Provide detail of poles for freestanding lights.
Provide larger cut sheet for building mounted lights.
Variance application has been made for light spillage at P/L. The Department will
support this request.
Landscaping:
14.
15.
Please outline the relief being requested specific to the requirement of the ordinance.
The only area I would suggest increasing the landscaping would be to place shrubs along
the west parking area. In addition, when you pull the sidewalk back along Main Street
you should add street trees.
Please meet with Scott Brewer to discuss the Landscape Plan.

21.
Move sidewalk along Main Street to back of proposed right-of-way.
Provide sidewalk connection to rear of building. This could be done at the northwest
comer of the site.
We will support request for front yard setback along Main Street. Can you adjust plans
to west providing less of a parking setback along west property line and pick up greater
setback along Guilford Road?
We would like to see you provide a cross access easement at the entrance along Guilford
Road. If the property to the south develops we may be able to get a better configuration
at the entrance including pedestrian access.
We would like to see larger landscape islands at either end of the parking row. That
would require removing two parking spaces to make each island 4.5 feet wider.
We will support the request for relief forms the building footprint requirement.
Miscellaneous:
22.
23.
Dedication of Right-of-way per the thoroughfare plan will be required. Please prepare a
deed of dedication and submit to Department of Engineering.
We have received that application for the Use Variance for auto repair within the
OM/MU zone.
Please submit an updated plan prior to
