CARMEL REDEVELOPMENT COMMISSION
November 5, 2012
CITY COUNCIL REPORT
(Prepared for David Bowers and Brad Meyer 10/22/12)
CRC Meetings
• Upcoming Meetings:
o Wednesday, November 14, 2012 at 6:30 p.m. — Regular Meeting
Financial Matters:
• The end of month September CRC Non Operating and Operating balance is $174,843
CRC Public/Private Partnerships:
1. City Center — CRC /Pedcor LLC (Parcel #5)
a. Signature has reviewed the bids for building D and will make a determination as to how
to proceed. Site planning and coordination of utilities are being coordinated by CSO
based on future building to complete City Center. Moving forward on the project will
require review and approval by City Council. CSO Engineers is revising the site plan to
move the building east about 18 feet. This will allow an additional row of parking on
the west side of the building. The diagonal parking on the east side will be removed,
leaving street parallel parking. The Nash Building is on hold until we determine the
location of the building. Utilities will need to be moved and updated if the building is
moved 20 feet east of its original design location. This will place the building directly
on the street with parallel parking along the east front (as opposed to parallel parking
and a separate drive to diagonal parking. This is similar to Pedcor's Phase I project
along City Center Drive).
b. The Pedcor Phase II project agreement was reviewed at the May 3, 2012 special
meeting. The CRC approved the project, subject to City Council approval of the
proposed financing. The City Council President, Mr. Rick Sharp, informed Mr. Olds
after the August 16, 2012 City Council Finance Committee meeting that the City
Council would not be reviewing any other debt instruments related to projects until the
bond issue has been resolved.
c. Parcel #5 stair project #2 — the shop drawings have been reviewed, approved and
released. Delivery of the materials should be in the next four weeks or so. From there,
a crane will be on site to install and erect the stair tower.
d. We have value engineered stair package #1 by removing the limestone treads and
replacing them with a poured in place limestone aggregate, anti - spalling compound with
a limestone colored tint to the concrete to match the existing limestone color. We are
still in the process of finding the right match (color and texture) to align with the
Palladium's facade. Forms are taking shape and the concrete base will be poured very
soon.
1
2. The Palladium (Parcel #7 -A)
a. The landscape drawings for the Palladium Landscape bid package have been revised by
the Construction Manager to reflect scope changes. Direction from the CRC and the
City Council will determine the path forward. We will be shipping the limestone to
Carmel for storage indoors until the landscape package is released.
3. Parcel #7 -C
a. The CRC authorized the Project Agreement and related documents with regard to the
conveyance and development of the Mezz on the Monon and The Mezz on Third with
Anderson Birkla. We are finalizing all of the documents and are working towards a
closing in 45 -60 days.
b. CRC staff is working with the City Engineer on the storm water revision running east
and west along the south property line. Utilities will be updated and buried
underground at the same time.
4. Arts District Lofts & Shoppes — CRC /Keystone Development (Parcel #47)
a. Work on the first phase of the west side of the Monon Trail between Main Street and
1st St NW is complete. The second phase has been bid out and two bids were received.
The low bid was $85,000. The Carmel Clay Parks Department will contribute $50,000
towards the project. CRC staff met with Mark Westermeier of the Parks Department to
determine if he could fund the balance of the job and he informed us that he did not
have the capability at this time.
b. The CRC staff is working with the Plan Review Panel sub - committee to come up with a
final design of the courtyard, based on Rundell & Ernstberger's design concepts.
Keystone Construction, developer of the project, has been involved in the process. A
meeting with the Mayor, the CRC and the Developer is scheduled to come to closure on
the design.
c. Bike Parking is being reviewed and discussed by the CRC Staff, Department of
Community Services and the Sophia Square developer. David LittleJohn and the
Department of Community Services worked in conjunction with the CRC to put
together a plan. The developer has reviewed and commented on the plan and now Mr.
LittleJohn, the CRC and the Mayor will need to provide their input as to how to move
forward.
d. Keystone Construction has requested loading dock modifications with time frames for
move in /out of apartments as well as pickup and delivery of food, trash, materials, etc.
To define the area will require the removal of two on street, parallel parking spaces.
The CRC staff has directed Keystone to take this request to the City of Carmel's Board
of Public Works as this is public right of way. City Legal and Engineering are working
to finalize an ordinance package that will come before the City Council for their review
and input. There is no specific timeline at this point.
2
e. The developer and the City Departments have worked out the final details and the
Department of Community Service has granted the occupancy permit for the garage.
This will allow the developer the opportunity to turn the garage over to the City. The
City and Developer are working on a Parking Management Agreement that will outline
the sharing of costs.
5. PNC Bank Site (Parcel #51)
a. The Mayor has met with PNC's President for Indiana to discuss the bank's long range
plans for their Main Street property. PNC has yet to answer the Cannel City Legal staff
on the known site contamination issues on the south side of the property.
6. Miscellaneous Projects
a. The Grain Tower — All debris and rubble from the Grain Tower has been removed. At
this time, August Mack is testing soil, water and air samples to determine if further
abatement needs to occur. At the same time we are working through a work plan to
collect and remove all of the water on site and the balance of the "smaller" debris that is
on site. Casey Bertram has fulfilled their contract and have pulled off of the site.
