RCI has been working closely with the City of Carmel Engineering Department concerning the proposed development of this area and the proposed Retail Parkway Thoroughfare Plan which is a key component to the Olive Garden Restaurant and Outback Restaurant development. RCI has issued new drainage and sewer easements across its property to help with the development of this area as well as considering additional right-of-ways through the RCI property to help complete the roadway expansion. RCI believes the development of this area with new retail stores and restaurants will be a positive economic boost and enhancement to the area. However, after reviewing the proposed site plan of the Olive Garden we noticed that a roadway entrance is planned that would allow access to and from the RCI property via RCI's north drive lane. RCI is opposed to the construction of a roadway access point from the Olive Garden parcel into RCI's north property lane entrance. The proposed access drive would increase retail traffic through the RCI parking lot area and pedestrian walking paths which poses a significant safety concern for our 1100 employees. RCI has opened discussions with the City of Carmel to provide right-of way access for new road construction across it's property to complete the Retail Parkway Road Thoroughfare Expansion which is a key feature for the new development of the area. We request that traffic be confined to the Retail Parkway Road Thoroughfare Expansion plan and not utilize RCI's parking lot and property drive lanes for retail traffic. Please feel free to contact us for further information and discussions as needed.
