Greg Hoyes – Hamilton County Surveyor’s Office
- Still reviewing plans. Requested a copy of plan showing the legal drains on the property.
Nick Redden – City of Carmel Engineering Department
- Letter sent. No further comments. Mr. Dobosiewicz asked if he should anticipate comments on storm
water. Mr. Redden said this should be expected. Mr. Dobosiewicz asked for the department to keep him
updated on this, since DOCS has given him a deadline to have this plan complete.

David Lucas – Hamilton County Highway Department
- Asked if Beallsville Drive will be private or public. Mr. Huff said this will be a public street. Mr. Lucas
said this would need to have official action taken by Carmel to post Do Not Enter, and Wrong Way signs.
Mr. Lucas said he will need a storm profile to make sure the project is below pavement. There will also be
additional comments for the inlets, and the taper of the entrance may be shortened slightly to avoid a man
hole that currently exists. Mr. Lucas said if the man hole is an issue, the department could look into
shortening the turn-in lane, as long as it is close to 100-feet. Although the department would prefer to keep
this the way it is, they would like to avoid relocating the storm infrastructure, and shortening this lane may
be the best option. Additional comments will be sent later.
Shirley Hunter – Duke Energy
- Asked petitioner to submit a service request for new electrical service. Ms. Hunter requested a landscape
plan, and AutoCAD file with a site plan. Ms. Hunter asked if these will be true townhomes. Mr. Huff said
these will be single-family attached units, but may be occupied by renters. Ms. Hunter said there is a new
code that requires these units contain separate meters and two-hour rated fire walls. Ms. Hunter said if the
site contains common area, they typically will not require an easement, but she would need to review the
plans in detail to know for sure. Ms. Hunter asked if this will be gas or electric heat. Mr. Huff said these
units will be electric heat.
Daren Mindham – City of Carmel Urban Forestry
- Letter sent. No additional comments.
David Littlejohn – City of Carmel Alternative Transportation
- Letter sent. No additional comments. Mr. Dobosiewicz said once revisions are made, they will contact
DOCS to review the changes prior to Plan Commission.
Angie Conn – City of Carmel Planning & Zoning
- Met with developers last week to review comments. Ms. Conn asked about the status of the storm water
park. Mr. Huff said this project is acceptable for drainage as of today, the only question being if the plants
that are currently there are acceptable. Mr. Huff said the drainage master plan covers the Best Management
Practices (BMP) for the entire River Road development as well as this development.
