Re: IU Health North Hospital - Areas 2 -A and 2 -B
Dear Mr. Preyss:
The City of Carmel is in receipt of your letter dated 30 July 2012 communicating the desire
by IU Health to prepare the land areas referenced above for future development, pursuant
to ordinance Z- 409 -03, Clarian Health Partners, Inc., Planned Unit Development (PUD).
Your request is to conduct earthmoving and tree removal activities intended to remove
debris and other obstructions which may hinder future development of the real estate
west of Illinois Street, except for the excluded, S -2 Zone, located at the far north end of the
property.
The City is willing to allowing the requested activity, however there are some specific
provisions of the PUD and Carmel City Code requirements which must be addressed before
any earth moving may proceed:
1. Section V. of the PUD provides that the preferred form of landscaping is the
preservation of trees. At minimum, the clearing of trees within Areas 2A -2B must be
limited, so that a 15' wide tree preservation strip remains adjacent to the Spring Mill
Road right -of -way, and adjacent to the Illinois Street right -of -way.
A tree preservation plan and details must be worked out with Carmel Urban Forester,
Daren Mindham, prior to any clearing or earth disturbance.
2. A Stormwater Management Permit is required from City Engineer's office.
3. A Right -of -Way Permit is required from City Engineer's office.
Thanks for your patience while waiting for this response. If you have further questions or
wish to discuss any of the above, please do not hesitate to contact me via email, or at 317
571 2422.
