The applicant is requesting.approval of an ADLS Amendment for the'construction of a multi-
story office building between Pennsylvania and Meridian Street, north of Carmel Drive. Please
see the informational packetprepared by the applicant for an overview of the site landscaping
and lighting as well as building elevations. This proposal is phase two of the overall
development of this site. The committee saw Phas.e I in May ~d approved the ADLS
Amendment at that time.
The Department recommends that the Special Studies Committee approve the request after
all comments and concerns have been. addressed.
Note: The ADLS Amend item only requires approval by the Special Studies'Committee. A
Public Hearing will be held on a DP Amend at the September 21 st Plan Commission meeting.
Background:
As some Commission members may recall a building very similar in design to the propose'd
structure wa.s approved in late 2000 under a Development Plan and ADLS .application for a larger
tract .and three buildings. The project did not move forward at that time. A very similar plan for'
. the northern third of the site was approved earlier this year. The applicant is now moving
forward on the next phase of the project. Due to the uncertainty of the proposed improvements
to US 31 and the ultimate interchange locations the applicant has revised the original plans to
acconnnodate the proposed US 31 improvements (based on the b~st available data provided by
the consultants working for the State on the project). The revised layout requires Development
Plan Amendn1ent and ADLS: Amendment approval by the Plan Commission. Due to the similar
building. design and extension of information presented with Phase one in May the applicant is
following the same format for presentation to the Commission (ADLS Amendment to
Committee and DP Amendment to the full Commission). If there are no comments form
Commission members or the public at the meeting on September 21 st the Department will
request that they suspend the rules and take final action on theDPAmend that evening. We
anticipate few, if any, comments from the public due to the plan being basically the same as what
was previously approved in 2000 and consistent with the plans presented in May of this year.
