Docket No. 04040041 DP/ADLS' Bauer Commercial Park- Tom Wood
The applicant proposes a automotive inventory parking lot. The site is located at the
southeast corner of Bauer and Marie Drives. The site is zoned B-3/Business.
Filed by Larry Lawhead of Barnes & Thornburg.
The applicant is requesting approval of a Development Plan and ADLS for the construction of a
vehicle inventory lot at the comer of Bauer and Marie Drives. Please see the informational
packet prepared by the applicant for an overview of the site. The site is adjacent to and across
the street from vehicle parking areas at adjacent automobile dealerships to the south and west.
There were no items that came up at the Public Heaxing that were left unresolved. Issues
discussed included the proximity of the fence to the parking spaces, lighting, and the fence
material itself. We request that the applicant verify in writing specifics regarding the fence
conveyed at the public hearing as well as information related to traffic from the facility and the
policy of the owner in that regard.'
The Department has one outstanding concern with regard to the revised site plan. The plan
shows sidewalk pushed up to the back of the curb along the street. The sidewalk needs to be
placed just inside the right-of-way to provide a grass strip between the curb and walk.
The Department recommends that the Special Studies Committee forward this item back to
the full Plan Commission after all comments and concerns are addressed.
