Red and blue texts are changes you have seen.

If council changes date, it will go back to PC just for housekeeping o Page 4 stated set back is 88 ft. from center line 2 January 3, 2012 Meeting Agenda Carmel Plan Commission Subd. Committee Committee: • Page 3 last change item 2 what PUD's current exist in this area? Traditions on the Monon, Village green, Cobblestone Commons are all PUDS • In the past we have amended our ordinance to say where PUD "s can and cannot be. A PUD is a zoning district in itself • At the bottom of page 3, the parenthetical phrase "you can create more buildings than existed "should we say "on that lot" John Molitor will rewrite this section and Adrienne will insert in the final document prior to the Plan Commission meeting • Move paragraph 2 to section 23 h .1.04 — how the overlay zone does and does not dovetail with rest of zoning ordinance — Adrienne will make the change. • The Parks Department — private residence connections are ok, but some fill in drainage ditches and Parks want to at least take a look at them even for residential . in case where they are brmging in steps, etc. they want to get a handle on that. Should Parks get involved enforcing drainage issues? If there a defined process for putting in access to the trail what is the goal so they can design to that this was put into to make a bridge between the property owner and the Parks Department - simply to say you may not come into the easement. John will call attorney for Parks and make sure there are no issues. He will have an answer prior to the Plan Commission meeting. • Existing buildings do not come before the Plan Commission, but the Director of the Parks Department could sign off on changes. Mr. Doug Cannen who is representing himself along with the Schneiders and Medleys spoke regarding their concerns on the 88 ft. setback at 146`h street near their properties that currently has no building on it. Adrienne since it is a current subdivision this would be grandfathered unless they would move to replat, if they did this is would come under the new ordinance.
