Petitioner Presentation – The project is a restaurant located at 31 First Street.
- Pictures of the current building were then passed around.
- Greg Hoyes, Hamilton County Surveyor’s Office – Had already faxed a comment letter to Mark
Demerly. Hamilton County Surveyor’s Office did not really have any comments on the rezone.
When it comes back for construction plans they will need to see drainage calculations.
- Chuck Shupperd, Vectren Energy – Asked if it had gas. Also asked if they were going to use
gas for the restaurant part.
The petitioner responded yes.
- Chuck Shupperd had a contact person who would do the service. There are gas mains to the
north and both sides of the site, so they will be able to provide the site with service.
- Brooke Gajownik, Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office – Had no comment.
- Nick Redden, City of Carmel Engineering – Did not receive plans of the site and did not have
any comments on the rezone, but will expect drainage calculations and plans at a later date.
- Gary Hoyt, Carmel Fire Department – Sent a fax to Roger Ward for Mark Demerly, and Mark

Demerly said that the building was going to be sprinkled. What he may do is go past the site to
see where the locations of the fire hydrants are.
The petitioner said that there was one directly across the street.
- Scott Brewer, Urban Forester – Did not have any comments on the rezone.
- The landscaping that he had gotten so far he said looked OK, but he said that he didn’t see any
planting along the wall on the east side that they had talked about.
- Also he will eventually need an actual landscape plan with a plant schedule and planting detail,
etc. but will not need it for the rezone.
- Scott Brewer said that since the petitioner has most of the parking across the street, and since
the petitioner does not meet code on landscaping that he was hoping that the petitioner would
share some of the cost of the landscaping across the street for the parking lot.
The petitioner said that that was the first he had heard of that.
- Scott said that is how they normally do it, but it is something they can discuss.
The petitioner also said that one of the things he was trying to do is to put more of a
landscaping buffer around the alleyway.
- Matt Griffin, Department of Community Services – The department had sent a letter and had no
additional comments.

Docket No. 05060040 Z and 05060041 ADLS: 116 and College PUD
The applicant seeks to rezone 12.4 acres from R1/Residential and B6/Business to
PUD/Planned Unit Development for the purpose of creating a mixed use
development comprised of town home, retail, and office uses.

Petitioner Presentation - The project is a planned unit development. It is a mix of 60 town homes
and commercial retail. Plans were given to Scott Brewer. Trying to continue the theme of the
th
buildings at 116 and Guilford. The idea is that the town homes would be a transitional use to the

north of the parcel and back right up to the Pulte town homes with a stub street that joins the two
to the north.
- Greg Hoyes – sent a comment letter. Thought that the drainage calculations for the Fretig
Watershed were fine. They are going to wait for Carmel; they want to make sure that it works in
th
with their road plans at 116 Street.
- Greg had an issue with the detention area.
The petitioner said that the detention area will probably be wet, and they plan on having a
similar setup as the Townhomes at Guilford. It will have about 3 feet of water in it at all times.
The petitioner is going to put a fence up around it like the Townhomes at Guilford.
- Greg said that they could put their heads together with Carmel to make sure it is safe.
th
- Chuck Shupperd – Said that they had gas on 116 and College. Once they get their final layout
Vectren Energy can sit down with them to see where the meter locations are on the building so
Vectren Energy can design their main layout and utility easements.
- Brooke Gajownik – Had no comments.
- Nick Redden – Sent comments and will wait to hear their responses.
- Gary Hoyt – Sent a letter to Matt over at Ice Miller. Asked if the buildings would have a
sprinkler system.
The petitioner did not know at this point. Maybe the big building would be fully
sprinkled.
- Gary Hoyt said they should get together sometime to discuss where the fire department
connection would be placed. Probably they will go with a wall post indicator valve, because no
one likes to see those red pipes hanging up out of the ground.
th
- Gary Hoyt asked about fire hydrants along 116 Street.
th
The petitioner said that there were no fire hydrants along 116 Street because there is no
main to hook up to.
- Gary Hoyt also asked if any of the buildings would have basements.
The petitioner said no.
- Gary Hoyt said that more than likely if the buildings are sprinkled then they will have some type
of fire alarm or at least a flow alarm, and if the petitioner does have some sort of full fire alarm
system then he would request a remote enunciator some place along the main portion of the
building.
-
Gary Hoyt – Are those town homes the ones under construction now or are they not part of
your project.
The petitioner said that those were Pulte.
- Scott Brewer – Asked if the town homes would be coming through separately or as part of this.
The petitioner said as part of this.
- Scott Brewer said he would need plans for the town homes then and a copy of the PUD
ordinance.

July 20, 2005
The petitioner asked if he wanted that as a separate sheet or together.
- Scott Brewer said it did not matter, and that separate would be fine.
- Matt Griffin – Sent an email with a comment later, and the department had several comments
about the PUD ordinance, and some of the design of the site. The staff is really excited with the
layout, but there are a few things that need to be adjusted and worked on.
- Matt Griffin – One of the department’s issues was that the petitioner is parking the non-
residential space at 1 space per 300 and the ordinance asks for 1 to 200. The department will not
be hard fast on keeping them to that, but Matt Griffin does think that there are some opportunities
to get some more parking out of the site. The department is working with the engineering
department to explore potential parallel and angle parking along College at least, and then maybe
parallel parking on some of the internal streets.
The petitioner would be open to that. The petitioner asked if College was Carmel’s.
- Matt Griffin said he believed so.
The petitioner next wanted to make sure that the engineering department looked at it so it
was viable for people to use.
- Matt Griffin said the engineering would verify all of their ideas. He also mentioned snugging the
pedestrian path up to the building and having some outdoor seating.
The petitioner said that utilities would be an issue, because CINergy wants to relocate
th
their distribution line down the north side of 116 in an easement between the building and
the right-of-way.
- Matt Griffin said that should not be a problem if the path is moved because then there would be
more room for the utilities to work with. The department would also like to see the project
focused outward, with people on the outside going in.
The petitioner agreed and said that is what they were trying to do with the corner where
the pathway became the front stoop. He also said that from a signage perspective and
th
from an architectural perspective as one drives down 116 it will become the fronts of the
buildings. It was mentioned that they might set up a separate meeting with the
department.
-Matt Griffin agreed and would be open for a meeting when they had time.

Docket No. 05060042 DP Amend/ADLS: Carmel Science and Technology Park, Blk 11
The applicant seeks approval for a medical office building.

Bob Falk, Duke Realty
The plan for the site is a 2-story office building, with approximately 50,000 square feet. There is
a brick exterior, with aluminum windows, and a canopied drop off up front for medical use. The
petitioner thinks that there is some potential to do some retail uses on the northern part of the site,
however they have not defined those uses at this time, and are only presenting the 2 story office
building at this time.
- Greg Hoyes – Faxed Ashton Fritz a letter. He wants to make sure that with the new street
coming out to Guilford Road, they do not lose any detention volume. Would like some guardrails
or bollards to protect vehicles turning so they do not go toward the lake.
- Greg Hoyes said that the biggest concern is the 9 x 9 structure that is going to tie all the
drainage together. He will look further into that and will make any comments on that.
- Mike McBride – No comment.
- Chuck Shupperd – Asked if they were going to use gas for heating.
The petitioner said that the project was planned to be a sister to the one on Michigan
Road and that is all electric, and so he would assume that this building would be all
electric as well.
- Chuck Shupperd said that they could contact Vectren.
- John South – Sent a letter. Asked the petitioner to include the building construction in the
construction sequence, along with immediately stabilizing the disturbed area around the pond
perimeter after work is completed there.
- He has also been fairly consistent in asking that sites provide some post construction practices
before they discharge from the site to the pond. That can be in the form of catch basins and
snouts, pervious pavements, etc.
- Brooke Gajownik – No comments.
- Nick Redden – Sent a letter with comments and will await the petitioner’s response.
- Gary Hoyt – Sent a letter to Ashton Fritz. Needs to set up a meeting to discuss where the fire
department connection for the building will go.
- Would like a set of plans for the site to show where existing fire hydrants are and where the
water utilities are.
- Asked if the building was going to have a basement.
The petitioner said no.
S:/TechnialAdvisoryCommittee/Minutes/2005/2005jul20

- More than likely the building is sprinkled so probably there is some type of fire alarm system and
the fire department would request an enunciator panel remote and an enunciator panel, located at
the main entrance some place. It will probably be the same way the other building is on Michigan
Road.
- Gary Hoyt would also like to have a Knox-box on the building too.
- Scott Brewer – Sent out an email. The main thing is the buffer yards, especially along the south
side along the drainage easement. Bob had said that they were going to let all of the vegetation
remain there, and Scott Brewer had said that he needs to have a letter from the surveyor’s office
indicating that that would be OK with them.
- Scott Brewer also said that the landscape buffer on the north side is a little light, but they can
probably work with it depending on if the parking lot design changes at all.
- Matt Griffin – The department sent a letter, but otherwise he had no additional comments.
The petitioner said that they are drafting a response to that letter which will be sent out
fairly soon.
The petitioner asked if the existing landscape buffer was OK to remain within the easement.
- Greg Hoyes said that he would have to look, but if it exists then it will probably be fine,
especially if it is pretty much on the property line.

REPRESENTING THE PETITIONER:

th
The petitioner is looking to make a very nice subdivision consisting of 17 lots at 106 and Ditch
Road. It will be a privacy fence, gated community type of project. The petitioner presented a
drawing. There are two existing lakes with a creek running through the site.
- Greg Hoyes – Sent a comment letter to Lance Farrow. Commented on the variance regarding
the subdivision in the floodplain, and the Surveyor’s Office will require that the flood plain all be
put in a drainage easement. Spring Mill Run will become part of the Spring Mill Run regulated
drain. They will have to look at some outlet options for the existing lake on the north.
The petitioner asked if Greg Hoyes had any information on the pipes where he asked them
th
to connect at 106 and Ditch where there are two structures.
- Greg Hoyes said that the Highway Department did that.
The petitioner said he thinks that there is a pipe that goes south to the subdivision across
the street, which has two ponds with a three-lot plat. He is assuming that there is a pipe that goes
down there and there is a culvert that goes from their existing lake underneath the road to a pipe
and then goes into the two lakes. The petitioner would just like to get any information in regards
to the pipe, what size it is, and where it goes. He thinks that he can help out with the situation; he
just wants to know a little bit more about that pipe itself.
- Greg Hoyes said that he would check his files
- Mike McBride - Said that there is a roundabout project proposed for the intersection and he is
sure that they have a lot of data on drainage plans and so forth. The Hamilton County Highway
Department will require a little bit more right-of-way than the petitioner had proposed. He thinks
it is all mostly right at the corner.
- Mike McBride asked if the site was eligible for annexation.
The petitioner said that they are anticipating annexation.
- Next Mike McBride asked if they knew when they were planning on being annexed and if it was
before construction.
The petitioner did not know.
- Mike McBride is also concerned about the cul-de-sac length, which would require their
commissioners to grant a variance on that. The Highway Department’s standard practice is to
require deceleration lanes at entrances.
The petitioner asked if they were in the process of drawing up the roundabout, and asked
if he could get a copy of that. That way they could coordinate with drainage and such.
- Mike McBride also sent an application for review.
The petitioner said that they have that and are finishing filling it out.

- Chuck Shupperd – He has gas around Ditch, but also has that high-pressure line going through
there. Said that the petitioner might call Steve Caulk and get some depth before the petitioner
starts running stuff out because that is an older piece that was panhandled and could be only a
couple feet deep.
- The sheet that Chuck Shupperd gave the petitioner has the contractor who is going to the onsite
stuff for equipment and specs that are crossing. It needs to be filled out, then sent back to Steve,
and then they will send to the lending department to draw up the encroachments for what can and
cannot be done. Chuck Shupperd would recommend that the petitioner spot some depths across
there.
- John South – Sent a letter. The soil conditions are not quite what the soil survey indicates they
are. There has been a lot of disturbance out there with construction of ponds and grading and so
forth. It should be taken into consideration with the homebuilding and so forth, that additional
caution needs to be made when putting foundations in the ground.
- By the time this project reaches construction plan stage, John South thinks that the petitioner
will have to meet the County’s requirement for post construction water quality. This means that
they will have to meet the total suspended solid reduction by 80%. At this point John South
thinks that this is realistic and that they need to be designing the project to meet those goals.
The petitioner asked if there were guidelines for acceptable practices.
- John South did not know if the petitioner’s plan would meet the requirements, but the ordinance
is passed and is on the website so that the petitioner could read the post construction water
quality requirements. The post construction water quality handbook or guidebook is being
finalized, but it has not been printed yet. What practices will be allowed and what will not be as
far as standard procedures is still up in the air. He thinks that the guidelines will be quite similar
to what is in Indianapolis. Bob Thompson in the Surveyor’s Office may be another source of
information.
- John South next mentioned the drainage system that the petitioner is draining into which is west
of lot 5, and that it was in rather poor shape in the past. He does not know if it has been
upgraded or changed any, and it probably needs to be looked at.
The petitioner said that they are willing to help as far as taking some drainage away from
that area, but they will need some help back, because when they go to the creek it is a 40-foot
drop. There is no room to put any type of detention, and they would have to draw a squirrel or
something to meet all the requirements. The petitioner said that they do, but it is just a little bit
different practice than most people think.
- John South also made the comment that flood insurance issues might be minimized if they kept
the flood plain in the common area. His understanding is that if any part of a lot is shown to be
in a flood plain then the insurance companies start throwing up red flags, and at that point the
owner has to prove that they are not in the flood plain. It would be his recommendation that the
total flood plains would be in the common area, and that would eliminate some future issues.
That is certainly not a requirement, but a recommendation.
- John South commented about the lake west of lot 15 that will be constructed in scholls, which is
sand and gravel subsoil. The lake to the left of lot 15 will complicate construction issues. It is
S:/TechnialAdvisoryCommittee/Minutes/2005/2005jul20
Page 11 of 32
Technical Advisory Committee Minutes
July 20, 2005
recommended that the natural drainage for lot 13 be protected with an easement. Also it is
recommended to maintain flow in the future from other lots.
The petitioner said that they would take that into consideration.
- Brooke Gajownik - She noticed on the plans that there were 2 names on the plans and then 3
additional street names on the street name chart on the bottom. None of the street names have
gone through the approval process with Carmel Communications and Accounting. The petitioner
should contact Bill Akers at Carmel Communications, so that he can get everything on the form
and then she can make sure that it is 911 approved.
- Nick Redden – Had no comment because it is outside his jurisdiction at the time.
- Gary Hoyt - Sent a letter. Since it will be gated he is requesting an SOS type device or a fire
department key switch, preferably the Knox brand.
- Since this subdivision would be so close, the Fire Department would probably prefer the SOS
type because they might have Washington Township assist them running there because it is right
down the street from one of their stations.
The petitioner asked if there was a certain place to put it.
- Gary Hoyt said that it did not really matter which side it would be on.
- Gary Hoyt also asked if the petitioner was going to have an amenity, but he doubts it.
- Gary Hoyt was going to send the petitioner a plot for the turning radius of their largest piece of
equipment. His concern were teardrop islands in the cul-de-sac and wanted to make sure that
they could get around them. He also asked if the petitioner was looking at roll curb, but the
petitioner said they had not gotten into that much detail yet.
- Gary Hoyt also needed a set of plans showing the fire hydrant layout, and he asked for the little
blue reflectors that are placed in the street perpendicular to the fire hydrant.
The petitioner asked if it obstructs snow removal or comes off.
- Gary Hoyt said that they are identical to the white reflectors on the interstate, and that
snowplows do not take them off.
- Scott Brewer – Did not have landscape plans yet.
The petitioner said they would get those to him.
- Matt Griffin – Had a review letter forthcoming. In regard to the waiver from installing the outer
path, it will probably be very hard to get that approved in the plan commission because they are
pretty adamant about seeing those paths go in. It may save the petitioner some time in the long
run if they start to anticipate doing that. Even though the path may not connect sometime right
now, but it will eventually in the future.
- Matt Griffin also asked if the common areas were going to be just visual amenities or if there
would be a path or any type of interactivity.
The petitioner said the common areas were just going to be visual amenities.
- Greg Hoyes – Mentioned that if the path spans the creek then they would have to look into how
to do that.
S:/TechnialAdvisoryCommittee/Minutes/2005/2005jul20

July 20, 2005
- Matt Griffin said that it might be possible to commit to pay to a fund to fund the installation of
the path.
- Mike McBride – Something else occurred to him, he doesn’t know what the lane widths are on
the existing Ditch Road, but they typically require a 12 foot with a 3 foot shoulder. Then the
structure south of the entrance becomes in question. It would be looked into.
The petitioner would like to set up a meeting with Greg Hoyes to walk the site and look at
the cliff and the trees that he wants removed.

Docket No. 05070017 TAC: Overbrook Farms Construction Plans
The applicant seeks review of the construction documents for this subdivision of

REPRESENTING THE PETITIONER:
Dave Barnes, Weihe Engineers
Dave Molten
Jerry Houston
The project is 111 lots on 84 plus or minus acres.
- Greg Hoyes – Did not get a comment letter done. Needed drainage calculations. Brought up
the Primary Plat that went through the April TAC meeting, and the discussion about putting the
creek in common areas. The construction plans, however, still showed the lots lines going to the
creek. There needs to be a change in the plans. He just wanted to make sure they were not
forgetting that.
- Greg Hoyes will give the petitioner a comment letter when he receives drainage calculations.
- Mike McBride – Sent the petitioner a comment letter a few months ago. Has not seen a set of
plans since that.
The petitioner said they would get that to him.
- Chuck Shupperd – Said that Vectren Energy is working on all sides on getting easements. Said
that the water company was also looking to get easements, and did not know if the water
company will be following the same route.

The petitioner said that there is an easement for John on 141 Street, extending from
Shelborne.
- Chuck Shupperd thought that it might be beneficial to do a joint venture. He does not know if it
would be feasible, but just wanted to suggest it and possibly have everybody get together.
The petitioner said that he would look into that.
- John South – Sent a comment letter. Made a comment that he thinks they will at least need a
401 permit and a construction of the floodway permit for the crossing. Said that maybe the creek
was not up to a square mile, he did not know. Both of those need to be checked into.
- John South said that one of the big issues is that the petitioner is taking a lot of dirt out of the
ponds, but have not indicated on the grading plan where the dirt is going. As far as the erosion
sediment control plan, that is a needed item. The plan kind of makes the assumption that there are
no paths and very little grading activity on the lots, but if there is going to be considerable grading
and the dirt is going to be pushed around then more information is needed on that.
- John South also mentioned that since the site is so large, he would like them to phase the project
so as to limit the disturbance. He would like to keep it around 20 acre increments, so that the
petitioner will not tear up the 79 acres all at once and leave it that way for a while, deciding to
seed it all at the end. There needs to be some kind of rational as to how to progress through
construction for both the disturbance and the seeding behind it as they go.
The petitioner said he would talk with the client and the contractor about that.
- John South mentioned that because the site has some existing drainage ways directing site water
off site, sill fence is not adequate to act as a perimeter practice, so the project will need some
sediment basins or sediment traps, or some kind of diversion methods to direct that storm water
so it is properly treated before it leaves the site.
- John South said that native vegetation on the bank of the big pond in the middle is not
necessarily something the petitioner wants to do, but John South wants to encourage it on the
other ponds where it is logical.
- John South would also like to see the rock check damn that is being shown at the culvert
removed. The sediment should be captured before it gets into the creek and not in the creek. It is
shown on the east side of the proposed roadway crossing.
- Brooke Gajownik – Did not believe she received a packet but does know that the petitioner has
lots of street names pre-approved; she just was not able to check and see if those were the ones
on the plan. As long as what they have approved is on the plan, it will be fine.
- Nick Redden – Sent a comment letter, and will await the petitioner’s response.
- Gary Hoyt – Sent a letter. Asked if the petitioner was going to put an amenity building on the

The applicant seeks approval to replat 9 lots on 2.25 acres:
The site is located at the northwest corner of Ethel Street and West 104th Street.
The site is zoned R-3/Residence within the Home Place Overlay.
Filed by Chris Badger of Badger Engineering & Associates.
REPRESENTING THE PETITIONER:
Chris Badger
- The petitioner presented the project saying that the previous plans showed a cul-de-sac, but it
did not do the project any benefits. Also, the ownership has changed from one developer to
another, who is Ryan Thomas. The new design Chris Badger believes is better, and there are no
major changes to the drainage or sanitary. They are still completing some of the changes that had
been requested from the county highway. The other thing that was asked of the petitioner by the
fire department was to put a radius on the plan that they could use a little bit better. Chris Badger
asked what radius would work for the fire department.
Gary Hoyt – Said that he would send a sheet with a turning radius and specifications. His
main question was whether or not there was a way to improve the alley to the east of the
property so that he may be able to move a truck up and down it.
- Chris Badger said that the alley was 15 feet wide and it will be a one way. He thinks that it
should be able to work. He wants to make sure he can get an overhang so that he can show what
the interior radius needs to be changed to. He was thinking that 30 feet would be all right, but
that the trucks would use the whole road.
- Gary Hoyt said that he did not know the total dimensions or length of the truck, with the
basket hanging toward the front, he might be worried about the trees.
- Chris Badger said that they did have trees that they are trying to preserve along the upper west
and north side of the property. Previously they had a landscape strip along the area of the alley,
and that will be removed. Some landscaping could be added in, but there is a 30-foot wide
drainage easement that the county surveyor wants him to keep for all of the pipes.

- Chris Badger said that he thinks the 15 foot wide alley will be OK and then they just have to
work on the radius.
- Chris Badger also said that there is one other lot, but it is just a building lot and they will build
the same type of home. The buildings will be duplexes. Construction plans had not been sent out
yet because there were some changes that occurred so those will have to be made. When he
talked to the sanitary they said that it was short enough not to require an IDEM submittal. The
road is in the same location where it connected in with Ethel.
- Greg Hoyes – Said he would wait for the construction plans.
- Mike McBride – If it is a different developer than the one that had been submitted previously
then he will need a new application and fees. When those things are met and he gets the fee out
he will send a letter expressing his approval.
The petitioner said that there is no access other than the street on Ethel. There is only
th
access on 104 and there will be 6 accesses there for 6 driveways, and 1 on Turner.
Turner will be a public street as well as a public alley. The market is very positive and 8 of
the units have already been sold.
- Matt Griffin asked if the duplexes would be sold as wholes or as halves.
The petitioner thinks that the units will be sold as halves. The units have 3 bedrooms with
a two-car garage and a back patio.
- Chuck Shupperd – Asked if the builder was a gas builder.
The petitioner thinks there will be gas but he can check for sure.
th
- Chuck Shupperd said that there was gas at 104 and Ethel, but for the last 4 lots down toward
the alley gas will have to be extended.
- Chuck Shupperd also asked if since each half of the duplex would be sold separately, there
would be an imaginary line for the property line where the houses come together.
The petitioner said that yes there would be full ownership of half of the home from wall to
wall.
- Chuck Shupperd asked because if each person will own their half of the duplex, then service will
run to each home.
- John South – Said he sent a letter a while back and he thought that the only problem was post
construction water quality.
Chris Badger said that they had talked about using a hooded inlet. The detention is on
th
site, and it is in the size of the pipe that they put in. The pipe along 104 is a larger pipe,
and it has been oversized to be able to back up the water and to lead it back into the
homeplace drainage. There is a legal drain that runs through there, and that drain is pretty
tight. All of the water quality will occur prior to that. He said that they really do want to
get out all of the solids, so they have shown catch basins and hoods on all of the units and
that should keep the twigs and the leaves from causing a problem.

- Brooke Gajownik – Turner Court has been changed to Turner Drive, which is good. She did fill
out a new approval form and sent it to Bill Akers. She told the petitioner to make sure he got
that for when he goes to get it recorded because he will need that.
- Nick Redden – Said that the development was outside his jurisdiction.
- Gary Hoyt - said that when they break for lunch he would fax them the spreadsheet.
- Scott Brewer – Asked to be sent a new drawing with the new street layout on it. He also asked
if the cul-de-sac had already been cleared.
Chris Badger said that some of it had been cleared. He does not think that the whole cul-
de-sac has been cleared, though.
- Scott Brewer said they might be able to save some of those trees now.
Chris Badger said he thought so.
- Matt Griffin – Said that the department had no real content changes; there were just some little
things that needed to be changed such as labeling.

he had no comments.
- Chuck Shupperd – He did not see any problems. Asked if there was a knee date of not until

in that process, January may or may not fit.

be a 2-story building. Both floors will be spa related services.

- Chuck Shupperd – He thought the building just south of the project had a 2 inch plastic main in
the back, and will probably just need to extend it a little bit for this project.
- Jon South – Sent a letter. The project is less than 1 acre so it therefore does not fall under Rule
5. It is part of a large common plan and there are some minimum requirements for that. He
asked the petitioner to include those minimum requirements on the plans.

both stories would be spa related.

The petitioner said that both stories spa related.
- Scott Brewer – Said he did not get landscape plans.
The petitioner said they are currently looking at what the landscape requirements are.
Currently they are looking to have sod around with street trees in front. He thinks that the
HVAC units would be on the roof and not on the ground for landscaping to screen. The
petitioner will follow up with Scott Brewer based on the review process within Brenwick for
landscaping.

HVACs are screened at the top. Also trash enclosure details will be needed.

Town Road, south of 131 and north of 126. It will be the primary and only amenity center
located west of Town Road. Goldwater Park area is on the north side of section 6001 and will be
bordered on the east side by Pedigrew Drive. The project property will basically traverse
northwest. All of the utilities will basically come out of section 6001 at this point and time. Part
of the amenities will be a clubhouse facility. There will be a pool area. Also proposed are tennis
courts, basketball courts, and a little league baseball field.

nonenforcements for some drains that are in this section that are being covered by this plat. He
will have to send the petitioner to the drainage board for the baseball diamond and the dry
detention basin just to get a variance from that for liability reasons. He also needs a landscape
plan.
The petitioner said that the landscape plan is being completed and revised. There is
extensive landscaping. He expects it to be done very shortly. The petitioner is still ironing out a
couple of walkway locations, some trees, and some of the buffer areas along the western border.
The landscape plan will be sent out to all parties when it is finished.
- Chuck Shupperd asked if the project would require gas.
The petitioner did not know at the time.
- John South – Sent a letter. He said he approved the plan. Then he asked if it was logical to
have some kind of a clean out or drain for when the pool is cleaned to be able to pump pool water
into the sanitary sewer instead of the storm sewer.

- Brandon Burke introduced the project saying that it is composed of 61 lots on approximately 22
th
acres. The project is bordered to the south by 126 Street and to the north by section 6001,
which is currently under construction. The 6001 plans were updated to include the section 6002
storm sewers, which should have been facilitated through the proper reviewers. This will frame in
a lot of the infrastructure that was deemed off sight for section 6001.
- Greg Hoyes – Sent a comment letter. The storms have already been taken care of. There were
some SSD Laterals that were missing in both sets of plans, 6001 and 6002. He needs to see

Block B as a dedicated drainage easement. There were also a few conflicts on the landscaping
plan, which was stated in the letter.
The petitioner asked about the pond and if it is not a pond to pond regulated drain and it is
reduced to a 20 foot easement if it would be possible to have trees within 10 feet or
should they stick with the typical 15 feet.
- Greg Hoyes said that would be workable.

th
connection out of 126 Street.

- Nick Redden – Sent a comment letter, and will await a response.
- Gary Hoyt – Wanted to ask about the chance of widening Woodley Street to make it at least a
24-foot wide street. It is 19 right now. He would also like the oval with the green in the middle
shortened a little bit. It would make it easier to get a truck in there.
- Gary Hoyt also asked if there was any on street parking.
not
Jaime Ford said that there was any on street parking in that common area.
Brandon Burke said that they do not have any proposed spaces, but the ordinance might
allow parking, and so they would have to look into that.
- Gary Hoyt asked whether the petitioner knew if there would be town homes or single-family
residences.
The petitioner did not know at the time and would have to verify with the developer. To
the north there will be town homes.
- Scott Brewer – Had not received plans.
The petitioner brought in the street layouts with the specific species for review for sections
6001 and 6002. In addition, a landscape architect is working on the entire west side.
Plans for several areas are being developed and a final product is expected fairly soon so
that Scott might review them together instead of in separate little pieces.

Filed by Ronald Bell of Williams Realty Group for PL Properties, LLC.
REPRESENTING THE PETITIONER:
Jacque Haynes, Williams Realty Group
Ron Bell
Darci Pellon, Civil Designs
The project is along the 421 corridor. There are 3 out lots in the front, and a bank on the corner
(hopefully), and a sit down restaurant in the middle lot. A split use building will be on the north
out lot, which will probably be a professional type building, and not a full retail use. In the back
there are 2 buildings with approximately 25,000 square feet of retail that they have proposed.
The buildings are adjoined together with a rotunda, which is open all the way up to the top. This
is something that when Jon Dobosiewicz was here he had liked the rotundas of other projects that
they had done. Strictly a service related center. They do not see any big boxes coming in. The
bigger office building in the back is proposed to be the Williams Realty Group office building.
The northeast corner of the project is a 7,000 square foot office building.
- Greg Hoyes – Sent a comment letter. There is an existing regulated drain that was installed with
the overall Weston Pointe. There will probably be some pipe added to that, which will become
regulated, and then everything internal will be left private. He would like to see the drainage
easements on the grading, utility, and landscape plan. He also needs to see a P and P sheet for
that little bit of 36-inch pipe that is being added.
The petitioner asked if it was the P and P for the 232 inch that connects into the 36 inches
that Greg Hoyes was referring to.
yes
- Greg Hoyes said . It is for the ones that go under the road to the pond, more or less jus the
extension that the petitioner is adding.
- Greg Hoyes also said that there was some landscaping shown in a Kurt regulated drain easement
and he would like that removed.
- Mike McBride – Had forwarded an application for review, and the Weston Pointe Drive is their
street. The Hamilton County Highway Department would anticipate that they would have to have
some right-of-way dedication. He was not sure what that would be yet. Typically they would
have an accel/decel treatment for the entrance. Also, the pavement thickness within the right-of-
way will need to match the existing pavement thickness out there.
- Chuck Shupperd – There is gas along Michigan Road and along Weston Pointe Drive. Once
everything is approved he can sit down with the petitioner to discuss layout. The out lots can be
serviced off of Michigan Road.

The petitioner said that Tim Dickson is the project manager and will probably be working
with Vectren Energy and so the petitioner will be forwarding information on to him.
- John South – Sent a review letter. Would like more clarification on the plan and construction
sequences to the order of the building construction, whether all of the buildings are planned to
built or just one. For those buildings that are not going to be built, the pads and so forth need to
be seeded and stabilized. There are also needs to be some sort of erosion sediment control plan
for each building itself.
The petitioner asked how John South would like the out lots to be maintained. Jacque
Haynes said that they anticipate the bank on the corner to be under construction at the
same time that they are doing the retail center. They anticipate being able to do that in the
fall, but they will probably wait until after the winter conditions are past to start building
the office building. She asked if they make them pad ready if John South wanted them
seeded after that.
- John South said yes.
The petitioner said that their intent is to have all of the roads in, the curb cuts shown, get
the land in pad ready condition and then that will be how they are marketing them price
wise.
- John South asked if each of the lots would be sold.
The petitioner said that there would be probably 5 different ownerships throughout the
whole project.
- John South said that if the individual project exceeds an acre, then they would have to have an
individual Rule 5 application. If part of the lot is right-of-way and it will not be disturbed, the
petitioner should measure closely to see if it will be under an acre, and allowances may be able to
be made for that.
- Nick Redden – Said that the project was outside his jurisdiction and so he had no comments.
- Gary Hoyt – Sent a letter. Asked if any of the structures would be protected by a fire
suppression system.
The petitioner was not sure.
- Gary Hoyt then asked for somebody to simply respond to the letter with an answer.
- Gary Hoyt said that they would ask for a Knox-box on each building.
- Gary Hoyt also asked if any of the buildings would have a basement.
The petitioner said that the only one that would might be the petitioner’s office building,
but they are not certain yet.
The petitioner also asked where Gary Hoyt would like the addresses.
Gary Hoyt said that the addresses needed to be properly displayed on the building so that it can be
seen at the street. Bill Akers will be the one to assign the addresses. A keystone would be fine.
Gary Hoyt also wanted to utilize a master key system so that they could just put one key in the
Knox-box that would open all the tenants’ suites. He would like one per building for both front
and back doors.

Scott Brewer – Would be glad to sit down and discuss the plans with the petitioner. Along 421
there is supposed to be a 30-foot greenbelt buffer, and also a 6-foot planting strip for the buildings
in the front.
The petitioner thought that the 6-foot could be within the 30 foot.
Scott Brewer said that it is usually in addition to.
The petitioner thought that for a previous project they only did 30 feet and so that is what
they were proposing for this project.
- Scott Brewer said it may have been a variance for some previous projects, but he did not think
that it was the case here.
- Scott Brewer also said that foundation plantings are required around all of the buildings and they
were not included on the plan that he received. Also, the out lots that have parking in front on
Michigan Road, the requirement is to have a tree or a shrub for every 6 spaces not for every 9
spaces.
- Scott Brewer also noted that the plans he got did not have any dimensions on it at all, and so it
was hard for him to check things.
The petitioner asked if the foundation plan went all the way around.
- Scott Brewer said that was correct, but that on the plans he had it was not shown as being all
the way around the buildings.
The petitioner said that the reason they had not included it on the plans was because the
back lots would come back for their own review.
Scott Brewer said that was fine, but it was not indicated on the plans. He also offered to get
together to go over the plans.
Matt Griffin – Sent a comment letter. He had no additional comments.
The petitioner said they are working on the legal description. The petitioner would also
like to make sure that the Allen building was separate from theirs, and that their process would
not be included with this project. The petitioner asked about the request to provide 8-foot
building recessions and projections.
- Matt Griffin said that anything within the 421 Overlay is required to have a projection after a
certain distance on the building wall.
The petitioner also had a question about signage. They had thought that the sign area of the
monument sign could be a maximum of 75 square feet, not more than 2/3 of the total sign so that
the overall sign could be 9 foot and the 2/3 of the sign would be 6 feet.
- Matt Griffin said that he would look into, but he was not sure of the history and what they were
told earlier. It could be figured out.
The petitioner also had an issue with the size of the signs. The signs closer to 421 but close to
Weston Drive would be smaller than the signs further back. They do not think that the differing
S:/TechnialAdvisoryCommittee/Minutes/2005/2005jul20
Page 26 of 32
Technical Advisory Committee Minutes
July 20, 2005
of sizes of the signs looks very good, but they cannot make the signs in the very back as small as
the ones in the front because then those would not be visible.
- Matt Griffin said that it would be a variance issue, and if the ordinance were causing the
development or signage to look weird than it is something they would like to work with. Also the
ordinance will be in regards to the street that the sign will be facing.
- Gary Hoyt – Asked about the areas in front of the retail buildings where there is no parking
allowed, and if they could incorporate a fire lane. They could also talk about it with out-lot 2.
Usually it is a 3-foot stripe from the curb with the words fire lane.
The petitioner said that they would probably do the same or similar on the back.
- The petitioner also mentioned the 10-foot asphalt path along Michigan Road, and that they were
checking into it and they think that it might be part of INDOT’s project. They will look into that.
- Gary Hoyt asked the architect if he knew if any of the buildings were proposed to be sprinkled
right now.
The petitioner said that it depends on what the overall square footage is determined to be.
The 12,000 one will not be sprinkled. The 16,000 could possibly have to be sprinkled.
- Gary Hoyt asked about the office building in the back.
The petitioner said that yes that would be a sprinkled building.
- Gary Hoyt said that they would probably need to set up a meeting to determine where to put the
fire connection.
The petitioner will need to resubmit the drawings.

- Nick Redden – Sent a letter. Would wait for the petitioner’s comments.
- Gary Hoyt – Sent a letter. Asked if the section would have an amenity in it.
The petitioner said no.
- Scott Brewer – Received a draft plan, and will just wait.
The petitioner is just waiting to incorporate the newfound existing trees.
- Matt Griffin – Sent a letter. Did not have any big issues besides labeling on the plat.

Docket No. 05070016 SP: Longridge Estates Section 2
The applicant seeks to plat 52 lots on 57 acres.
st
The site is located at the SW corner of W. 141 St. and Shelborne Rd. and is
zoned S1/Residential.
Filed by Dennis Olmstead of Stoeppelwerth and Assoc. for Platinum Properties,
LLC.
REPRESENTING THE PETITIONER:
Ed Fleming, Stoeppelwerth
Steve Broermann, Platinum Properties
The project is just west of Section 1, which was approved this past spring. The utilities will be
extended out of that.
- Greg Hoyes – Sent a comment letter. The biggest concern was the surface drainage that goes
under the pipeline there. That is different than what was shown on the primary plat. There are
concerns of that dumping on the surface and running across under West Road and through the
neighbors’ properties that way. Also had some concerns with the construction plans, and with
houses and driveways in their easements.
- Greg Hoyes did receive landscape plans, but there were some trees shown in the swales, banks
of the ponds, and pretty close to the drains. He would like the petitioner to push some things
around there.
- Chuck Shupperd – Vectren Energy will just come out of Section 1.
The petitioner said that Section 1 is under construction currently.
- Chuck Shupperd asked if Section 2 would be done in the spring?
The petitioner said that they would try to do some of the dirt and the utility work this
year.
- John South – Owed the petitioner a letter. Since the section is 57 acres, he would like to see a
phasing plan and a stabilization plan so that not all of it is disturbed at one time.
- Nick Redden – Sent a letter. The one thing that concerned them the most was the drainage
easement that they had shown within the pipeline easement. Asked if it had been taken care of.
The petitioner asked if Nick Redden was referring to the lots being in the pipeline
easement, and said that they would make the drainage easements to cover the pipeline.
They will also take a look at the lots.
- Gary Hoyt – Asked if the circle in the “eyebrow” was going to be a planting area, at the corner
of B Street and B Street.

The petitioner said yes, it would just be grass.
- Gary Hoyt asked them to put in a roll curb instead of a chair back curb.
The petitioner said that they would be roll curb.
- Scott Brewer – Had just recently gotten the plans, but he did not think that there were any
problems. Unless he found something once he looked at it more closely, he did not have any
comments.
- Matt Griffin – Sent a letter. Had no additional comments.

Docket No. 05070007 SP: Mayflower Park Block 3 Replat
The applicant seeks to replat 1 Block into 3 lots.
th
The site is located on W. 99 Street and is zoned I1.
Filed by James Browning.
REPRESENTING THE PETITIONER:
Jaime Browning
The petitioner stated that the project is a 10-acre parcel located within Mayflower Park that is
currently owned by RCI. It is the petitioner’s intention to break it into 3 lots, which is the
purpose of the replat. There is a small portion of the original plat that RCI is retaining ownership
of, which they want to have to control ingress and egress into their property. The petitioner had
made modifications in response to the comments they received.
- John South asked if the petitioner had a copy of the plans to pass around because most of the
TAC members had not seen the plans.
- Chuck Shupperd asked if it was next to RCI the building, and is it part of the land.
The petitioner said that it is recognizable by a big concrete pad where a building used to
be.
- John South asked if there was some kind of cross drainage easement applied to the plat. Since
there is probably only one drainage outlet, there will need to be a way to get drainage from lot 1
to lot 3 if it has to go that way.
The petitioner said that there was already infrastructure in place for drainage into this
parcel.
- John South asked if it was for each lot.
Jaime Browning said that it was for the entire parcel, and that there are declarations and
S:/TechnialAdvisoryCommittee/Minutes/2005/2005jul20
Page 30 of 32
Technical Advisory Committee Minutes
July 20, 2005
covenants that govern the park to allow drainage into other sites.
- Greg Hoyes did not really have any comments because it was the first time he had seen the
plans, but he would probably see it again because it would go through the county plan route.
- Greg Hoyes’s main concern was that he wanted there to be actual platted easements to protect
the pipes.
The petitioner asked why this was not an issue with any of the other lots.
- Greg Hoyes said that maybe the other lots did not have a storm sewer running through the
middle of the lot. If the lot is sold and somebody wants to build a building over the storm pipes,
then there might be a problem.
- John South thought that the main drainage infrastructure on the southern end of the project was
along the road and that it was protected by easements.
The petitioner said that he would have the lawyers look into and make sure that there was
not a legal problem.
- Matt Griffin – Sent a comment letter.
The petitioner asked about the comment regarding showing the lots terminating at the
ingress/egress easement eastern edge.
- Matt Griffin said that it was a private street, so it may not be necessary.
- It was asked of the petitioner if anything had been planned for the lots yet.
The petitioner said that it might be some sort of warehouse or office, similar to across the
street.

Docket No. 05070009 TAC: Kipp Brothers Expansion
The applicant seeks to expand their current facilities to include 26,400 sq. ft. of
warehouse space.
The site is located at 9760 Mayflower Park Drive and is zoned I1.
Filed by Mike DeBoy of DeBoy Land Development Services for Glennco Realty.
REPRESENTING THE PETITIONER:
Kevin Roberts
Kevin Roberts stated that they were proposing an expansion to the Kipp Brothers building in
Mayflower Park. The parking area to the east of the site is shown across the swales, and they are
removing the ten spaces there. This should still allow the site to have adequate parking. The
issues in regard to the landscaping will be worked out. There is a fire hydrant located at the
S:/TechnialAdvisoryCommittee/Minutes/2005/2005jul20
Page 31 of 32
Technical Advisory Committee Minutes
July 20, 2005
northwest corner of the site, but the applicant has requested that the hydrant not be located there.
The drive along the back rather than being asphalt will be gravel.
- Greg Hoyes – Sent a comment letter, and would like drainage calculations when the Kevin
Roberts gets them. Also, the removal of the ten parking lots should address his other main
concern.
- Chuck Shupperd – Asked if the petitioner would be adding more heating equipment, or would
they use existing because if they were going to increase the load then a data sheet needs to be
filled out for existing and proposed. Jerry Brief would be the contact person for that information.
- John South – Sent a comment letter. Would like to see the curb turn out changed in the parking
lot where it discharges to structure 701.
The petitioner said that the original design showed curbs, but there were no curbs
constructed on the original construction, so the applicant would like to change that and
sheet flow everything to the existing drainage systems.
- John South did not have a problem with that as long as it did not conflict with other ordinances.
That would then address his concern with the curb turn out.
- John South also noted that if their construction limits are going to stay away from the swale then
everything should be all right.
- John South then commented that the sill fence that is shown needs to be on the west side of the
swale not on the east side to stop the sediment before it gets to the swale.
- Nick Redden – Did not have any comment because it is outside his jurisdiction.
Kevin Roberts verified that he could disregard the letter from Crossroads
- Gary Hoyt – Said that the fire hydrant that the applicant wanted to remove could be removed
because he found another fire hydrant.
- Gary Hoyt also thought that they were putting in a surface that would attach to the road if it
were allowable. If the owner said that they did not want pavement or gravel going out to the
road, then grass type pavers to support the fire truck would work.
Kevin Roberts also mentioned the meter on the fire hydrant.
In regards to a previous phone call with Gary Hoyt, Kevin Roberts said that he had given
him correct answers. The fdc is not being affected, the sprinklers are being connected, the
height is the same and there is no basement.
- Scott Brewer – He was basically just concerned about the plants on the north side and the wood
preservation area on the west side. He asked if the gravel road in the back just went back to the
new addition or if it went all the way around the building and if swale was outside of that.

July 20, 2005
Kevin Roberts said that the road went all the way around the building and that the swale
was outside of that. Another issue, however, is that the structure is going away and the
roof drains are going to discharge directly into the swale rather than into the inlet.
It was a new drainage swale on the side of the site, and all that was there currently was
grass.
- Matt Griffin – Sent a comment letter. Asked if there would be mechanical equipment on the
extension and would there be screening.
Kevin Roberts did not know at the time.
- Matt Griffin said that they could get that figured out.

Docket No. 05060051 PP: The Retreat of West Clay Primary Plat
The applicant seeks approval of 32 lots on 23.49 acres:
The site is located near the NE corner of Little Eagle Creek Ave and W. 141st St.
and is zoned S1/Residential
Filed by Jim Shinaver of Nelson and Frankenberger for Centex Homes.
REPRESENTING THE PETITIONER:
Jim Shinaver, Nelson and Frankenberger
Jon Isaacs
Gordon Kritz, Stoeppelwerth & Associates
Greg Hoyes – Sent a letter. It will be a regulated drain subdivision. There will be some off site
easement required. The easement will have to be partly recorded in Hamilton County and partly
recorded in Boone County. He had contacted the Boone County Surveyor’s Office to see if they
had any concerns about the drainage, but he had not heard back from them yet.
There are also some landscape conflicts, but other than that he will just look for construction
plans and drainage calculations when they become available.
- Chuck Shupperd – He will probably bring the facilities from the Platinum Properties. Asked if
the petitioner knew the route of the water/sewer, and how it would get off site to this project.
The petitioner did not know.
- Chuck Shupperd said that it is something that they might want to look into as well as maybe
doing a joint venture with a water/gas/utility easement.
The petitioner thought that water was coming to the east of the property, and that they
would stay in touch with him to determine where off site infrastructure will be coming
from.

- Chuck Shupperd said that the petitioner could send him a proposed route so that he might be
able to try to follow that same route.
- John South – Sent a letter. One of his comments was that once the petitioner’s construction
plans start coming through, the new storm water quality requirements are going to be in affect.
The county has passed the ordinance. It has not been established as the current criteria, but it will
be shortly. In all likelihood the project will have to meet the new requirements. Bob Thompson
in the Surveyor’s Office could probably give them more information. The requirements are very
similar to what’s been established in Marion County.
- John South also commented that the reforestation of areas 2 and 4 would be a positive thing to
do, as well as naturalizing their pond bank vegetation.
- Nick Redden – Sent comments and will await revised plan comments.
The petitioner had a question about the entry way and the treatment of the medians as a
boulevard. Jim Shinaver was wondering why the Engineering Department had asked them
to remove the medians.
- Nick Redden did not necessarily see the reason for the medians, and maybe just did not
understand those. He is also trying to reduce the amount of pavement. He did not remember
what the lane width was, but it could have been a maintenance problem for such things as snow
plowing.
Jim Shinaver wanted to set up a meeting to discuss it. He said that idea was to create a
boulevard entrance type of feel. He thought it added to the aesthetic value as to how the
project is perceived.
Gary Hoyt – Sent a letter. Requested a set of plans indicating fire hydrant locations, and asked if
they were projecting an amenity building or clubhouse.
The petitioner said no.
- Gary Hoyt – Also asked that fire hydrant markers be installed perpendicular to the fire hydrants
in the center of the road.
- Gary Hoyt asked if the project would be gated.
The petitioner said no.
- Gary Hoyt would also like a set of engineer plans, because he is concerned with the width of the
entry and the ease of being able to get fire trucks and equipment in past the boulevard.
The petitioner said that the pavement width was 16 feet.
- Scott Brewer – Did not have many comments besides species comments. There is one species
on the median that is not marked on the plant schedule, and he would like that marked.
- Matt Griffin – Had a comment letter. His only main concern was in regards to making open
space more useful and approachable, and he would suggest adding a feature such as a sitting area
or a path to pull people around the pond to enjoy it. It is not a requirement, but something that
S:/TechnialAdvisoryCommittee/Minutes/2005/2005jul20

they might run into in Plan Commission. Matt Griffin also said that the plan did a good job at
fulfilling the requirements of the ordinance.

The applicant seeks to replat 5 lots on to accommodate an office development.
The site is located at 10430 Delaware St. N and is zoned B5 (pending), and is
within the Home Place District Overlay Zone.
Filed by Jessica Hartman of Parsons, Cunningham, and Shartle Engineers, Inc. for
Burford Properties
REPRESENTING THE PETITIONER:
Jim Shinaver, Nelson and Frankenberger
Jim Shinaver presented the project as being in conjunction with Burford Office Park.
- Greg Hoyes – Did not have any comments because he had not seen the plat.
Jim Shinaver noted that with the plat there is a residential home that is adjacent to Delaware, and
that is going to remain a residential home so nothing will be changed on that lot.
- Chuck Shupperd – Did not have any comments on the replat.
- John South – Did not have any comment.
- Nick Redden – Did not have any comment because it is not within his jurisdiction.
- Scott Brewer – Had comments on the landscape plan, but did not think that it had anything to
do with this replat.
- Matt Griffin – Sent a letter to Ms. Hartman. Asked if lot 17 was getting split in half because the
lot lines were slightly confusing.
Jim Shinaver would talk with the applicant and get back with him.
