When we made the reservation, a year ago, we thought this trip would give us a well deserved sanity break from icy roads and bone chilling weather so much for that idea! Anyway, I looked over my notes, and have a few suggestions in blue below in Mike's text, and another thought here. If you could discuss this at the meeting next week, I would appreciate it greatly. Page 2 line 44: Accessory buildings deleted by the PC. I'm concerned that this defeats the intent of the overlay: It is the City's intent to achieve the purpose of this zone by: Providing a consistent design treatment for private and public properties along Monon Greenway; Providing controls for architecture and landscape design that establish continuity of design between projects and to improve the physical relationship and human scale between new buildings and the Monon Greenwav: Protecting the Monon Greenwav character; Protecting the physical integrity of the Monon Greenway. When we first wrote this overlay, it was felt that the main mechanism to protect the character of the overlay was through landscaping standards and building setbacks. We did not want to unfairly restrict property rights, so we but places size restrictions on buildings that might infringe on the Greenway character. I'm fine with accessory buildings along the Monon, as long as they are not 6 -car garages, primary buildings or they cut down existing foliage along the greenway. I'm not in favor of blocking the construction of swingsets or small out buildings. Would it be possible to go back to wording that was similar to that passed in the 2007 ordinance, and is consistent with the intent of the overlay? As I recall, it exempted buildings less than around 400 or 440 s.f. (2 -car garage). 440sf would give additional room for a workbench or mower. As currently proposed, accessory buildings of any size could be built along the Monon, and I am troubled by that. Thanks for your consideration! See you all in a week.

Z- 554 -12: Monon Overlay Rezone. Natural Section North: Previous Version Attached. My notes did not indicate any changes were requested for this Ordinance. I think you were going to ask Adrienne about the way paragraph one was written. I don't think any of us think we need 4 -5 more zones created (see aqua colored wording below). Could we reword this somehow? God job on the map. Rezoning prop t along the Northern portion of the Monon Greenway, between 146th Street and 1st Street NW the R -1 /Residence, R -2 /Residence, R -4 /Residence, P -1 /Park and Recreation, and PUD /Planned Unit Development District Classifications to the followir R -1 /Residence within the Monon Greenway Overlay, R -2 /Residence within the Monon Greenway Overlay, R -4 /Residence within the Monon Greenway Overlay, P -1 /Park and Recreation within the Monon Greenway Overlay, and PUD /Planned Unit Development within the Monon Greenway Overlay District Classifications Z- 555 -12: Monon Overlay Text Amendment: Redline Attached, New Revisions highlighted in yellow. Page 1, 23H.00.01: Purpose, Intent and Authority. Why was the last sentence added? The Plan Commission felt the 33' easement area needed to be acknowledged since it still exists any many property owners are familiar with it. I think the committee agreed that this would cause confusion since we have changed how the overlay setbacks were dimensioned (from distance from the typical 33' easement to distances from the centerline). I think it would be good to be consistent in the overlay, and remove all references to 33' easements, just as we have changed all other dimensions in the ordinance. Page 3, 23H.05.02: Minimum Greenway Setback, Natural Section. Why leave reference to the presumed 33'right -of way /easement? Deleted Page 4, 23H.06: Greenway Access Points. Delete references to the Director of Carmel Clay Parks and replace with the Board of Public Works. Done. Page 4, 23H.08.01: Building Height, Urban Section. Require an appropriate transition to residential neighborhoods. A new provision was added to limit building height when adjacent to a Residential Zone. Should you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact Mike or me. Please note that I will be out of the office March 17 -23.

Mailed notice to subject and adjoining property owners was sent via regular mail rather than Certified Mail. The reasoning is budgetary; 454 letters were sent overall. With another approximately 900 letters required to rezone the southern section of the Monon (in the future), we felt that all sections should be mailed consistently. 2. Signs were not placed on EACH of the 117 properties within the proposed boundary. Rather signs were placed at all trail intersections and at the Rohrer Rd trailhead visible by trail users and by drivers. I've already spoken with some of you about this, but please let me know if you have questions or concerns which would prevent you from supporting the Rules Suspension.
