Plan.Commission—January 181h, 20,12
Docket 11070022Z: COCO Commons
CWIC2 appreciates the Dept's statement of concern that the current site plan does not reflect the
Comp Plan nor the goals of a PUD. We agree and sincerely hope all of you do as well. However,
we disagree,,that a,Neighborhood Support Center or Service Node might be appropriate in this
area. In case you think about those...
Our new Comp Plan communicates to residents and developers what Council determined was the
best and highest use of the land. Seeing West Carmel's,significant areas of undeveloped land,
many prospective buyers ask about current.zoning and plans. If the Comp Plan can't be relied
upon, buying a.home becomes a hugely°risky investment and,people will buy in other
municipalities. The Comp Plan also sends a message to developers of what is desirable, but
only to the extent the Comp Plan is-followed. Otherwise, developers will keep pushing the
envelope, further reducing,predictability and harming the desirability of West Carmel.
Having served on the Plan Commission for-5 years, I'll be the first to agree you should use
judgment for rezone requests. But remember that the State mandates a Comp Plan, requiring a
vision be established. If that vision does not guide your judgment, what reason can there be for
establishing the vision to begin with? . Our Comp Plan is fresh,so the burden for establishing
compelling reasons for approving:a rezone is even higher.
One justification for a rezone can be a PUD that brings the area something special that could not
be built under "regular zoning. As the Dept noted, COCO Commons is a straightforward
commercial,development compatible with an existing Business zone. The proposal is not a
typ`
rezone of the ical 2 or maybe 3 zones,but....Wow! Trying to cram every possible square foot
of'commercial use onto 19 acres is not justification for this PUD. Let me add here that Council
was clear during Land Use Committee discussions.and when approving the new Comp Plan that
there were`to be no new commercial areas in West Carmel and the land along 146`" St. was to
remain as then zoned.
A change in conditions could,justify a reasonable rezone. The petitioner states that upgrades that
will make 146" St. and Towne Road four lanes is such a change. But those upgrade plans were
in place.and well known when Council applied its judgment'in,determining to keep this land as
zoned.
In regards to what Westfield is planning across the road..As Carmel really going to let Westfield
determine what Carmel does, Why in the world would it make more sense to seek compatibility
with any proposed unbuilt commercial.use instead of the .already built Saddle Creek
neighborhood on our side? Particularly with a 4-lane road and 2 access roads between. And
please note something hugely important in Westfield's plans: They do not place their new
commercial node next to any existing neighborhoods. The existing neighborhoods will be
buffered,from`the proposed local-serving commercial with additional new residential areas.
Those new,residents will know what is planned and can make a choice before investing in their
homes. We would hope Carmel would be as sensitive: Keep this property residential.

CoCo Commons Organized.Remonstrance.—Commercial Use—Jan. 18,2012
Speaker.: Cindy Johnson, 1.4408 Chariots Whisper Drive 6 Year Saddle Creek Resident
When the Baker family sold the property that became Saddle Creek, the family retained the 19
acres proposed to become CoCo Comiiions. The owner has;publicly stated that he has always
intended for this parcel to be commercial development. Yet, none of the 339 Saddle Creek north
homeowners were informed of these intentions before investing in their homes. Neither verbal
conversations nor written documentation indicated the land would be developed as anything
other than single-family homes.
During the.Comp:Plan revision process, Council decided against anynew commercial areas in
West Carmel. CoCo Commons is equivalent to a Community Vitality Node,,like Michigan Road
or Merchant's,Square. Its retail square footage would be 22 times that of the smallest
commercial classification. Here.'s a visual reference for 165,000 sq. ft. of retail. Please add
together 4 the all"the following Michigan Road buildings: Best Buy, Petco, the entire strip mall
from 106`h St. Grill to Roselli's,plus 93%of Kohl's. Another example: replicate the MCL
building on keystone 16 times. 146th St., with roundabouts,and a likely 45 mph speed limit, is
not nor will it become a highway. There is absolutely no reason to convert 146th St. into
something similar to the.Michigan Road Overlay Zone.
Even along.Michigan Road, there are extensively buffered, lower intensity office buildings
between retail stores and residential developments. The retail/office areas were planned
before the residential subdivisions were built, which is what Westfield wisely plans to do on their
side.
CoCo Commons is a destination-sized retail development that wiltimpact traffic for miles
around. Approval of Coco.°Commons would guarantee that the property to the west, which abuts
the Lincolnshire residences, would also develop commercially.. :Once those develop
commercially,there,will be a push to add"'conditional fit commercial uses along yet more
undeveloped land along 146`h St. Approval of Coco Commons begins the domino effect,
amplifying the traffic-problems and warranting comparison to the Castleton Square area. At
what point and for how many`miles;will roads need to'be widened to 6 lanes to avoid stop-and-
go traffic? What neighborhoods'in-Carmel West's low-density residential area will get the traffic
that seeks to avoid thi'&newly congested area?
The Village:of West Clay; located within two miles, is specifically,designed for a.mix of
residential and commercial development. V WC's planned commercial area has undeveloped
space available. Do not undercut the VWC's ability to attract'business to build out this already
approved.and accepted-commercial area. Do not make7 the V WC'compete not only for shoppers,
but also for tenants for their existing commercial buildings.
Residents of Saddle Creek do not want any deviation from a single-family, residential-only
neighborhood. We do not want the huge increase in traffic, noise, lights, and nighttime activity
that would accompany this commercial development.
to
Anyone who'wants to,live next to commercial uses has other choices. The reason so many
individuals choose to build homes in this area is precisely because West Carmel,is characterized
by`residential housing,not commercial development. The Comp Plan reinforces this concept. If
you bought in a non=commercial area, would you want this development next to your home?
Please preserve and respect our choice not to live next to u commercial area.

Coco Commons Organized Remonstrance-Residential.Development-Jan. 18,2012
Speaker: Jim Sposato; 1554 Esprit Drive—;12 year resident—SC 140A Treasurer
Reasonable,Expectations: WHEN WE PURCHASED OUR HOMES, SADDLE
CREEK RESIDENTS HAD EVERY REASON TO BELIEVE THAT THIS PROPERTY
WOULD BE DEVELOPED AS SIMILAR.SINGLE FAMILY HOMES
o Why wasn't this land rezoned before the first house was built in Saddle Creek?
The reasonable time:to rezone this property'for commercial uses was before the
Saddle Creek subdivision was approved. Especially since the land for Saddle
Creek was sold'by the SAME LANDOWNER.
o IN ADDITION, there is no information in the deeds and covenants for Saddle
Creek homes to forewarn home buyers that this property might be anything other
than similar`single-family homes.
o AND EVEN MORE RECENTLY, some Saddle Creek residents participated in
the process to develop,the new Comp Plan. This provided residents FURTHER
ASSURANCE that'this property would be developed as similar single-family
homes.
o The unsuspecting residents should not.now pay pan unexpected personal price
because that'SAME"LANDOWNER did not take steps to make his hopeful
planning known.
2-. Intensity: 'C.00.O COMMONS LEAPS FROM THE LOWEST LEVEL OF INTENSITY
ALL THE WAY TO THE MOST INTENSE RETAIL CLASSIFICATIONS.
Q How can the new Comp Plan mean anything if such a huge leap.in intensity is
possible?
o A jump up of even one level is a rezone and that means you can turn it down
without citing any State statutes
3. residential-Development: THERE.CAN BE SUCCESSFUL RESIDENTIAL
DEVELOPMENT ALONG 1461H STREET
o There are EXISTING successful subdivisions all along 146`h Street including:
Autumn Woods,.Springmill Ponds, Ponds West and West Chase.
o How did they deal with 146`h Street? By using Berms, Setbacks, Landscaping, and
Fencing along 146th Street.
IN CLOSING, I ask that you listen to the neighbors who bought our homes based on the current
residential.zoning. THANK YOU

Coco Commons Organized Remonstrance-Residential Development
Speaker: Chris Potts, 14330'Cl ariots Whisper Dr—8 year resident—V.P'of HOA (a, SC
REASONABLE EXPECTATIONS: When we purchased our homes, Saddle Creek
residents had every reason to believe that the pond in common area#6 of Saddle Creek;
section 12, would remain the size it is currently and not be extended northwards thus
giving up its physical boundary and landscaping rights.
WHY ARE WE AGAINST SHARING THE RETENTION POND
The HOA board President has written to Mr. Baker in Reference to Page 6 of the
P.U.D./,Drainage Plans: which states "The owner(s) of the Real Estate (the "Owners")
may enlarge to the north the existing retention pond located on Common Area#6 of
Saddle Creek Section 12.
Please find attached the letter in its entirety. However, I would like to read out a small
portion of the letter to the commission.
In your drainage plan,for Coco Commons,you have changed some drainage issues to
usurp some Saddle Creek property. As you know, there is a retention pond near the
northern edge of the Saddle Creek property where it abuts the CoCo Commons
property. This retention pond is designed to allow the residents of Saddle Creek to
utilize the Saddle Creek land on the north side of that retention pond. This land
further allows Saddle Creek to create a natural buffer between Saddle Creek and the
property to the north. Unfortunately,you have unilaterally chosen to usurp the Saddle
Creek land to the north of the current retention pond and expand that retention pond
northward on to your property.
Specifically,you make note of a deed, of which I was not familiar until your recent
submission of your changes to the Planned Unit Development. Simply, though, that
deed does not provide you the permission to take the exclusive control over the Saddle
Creek land. More specifically, the deed references that you may have permission for
non-exclusive access to use the drainage system. It does not give you the exclusive
authority to decide how the Saddle Creek land is to be used. Your statement that you
will enlarge the pond to the north and onto the CoCo Commons property is an illegal
taking of the Saddle Creek land, and we object to your doing so.
ISSUES WITH INCREASING THE POND SIZE:
f
❖ Enlarging this pond would see an increase in silting, not only in this pond, but the
other 9 connecting ponds
❖ The owner of Coco Commons can refuse to share the costs Saddle Creek believes
are necessary for the ponds to continue in a good state of well being.

Re CoCo Commons
Dear Tim:
I have recently reviewed`your'December 12, 2011 changes for the development of CoCo
Commons. You have made some interesting changes, and I appreciate some of those.
Unfortunately, on behalf of Saddle Creek Homeowners Association, Inc., I feel compelled to
draw your attention to one change that is unacceptable.
In your drainage plan; for CoCo Commons, you have,changed some drainage issues to
usurp some Saddle Creek property: As you know, there is a retention pond near the northern
edge of the Saddle Creek property.where it abuts the CoCo Commons property. This retention
pond is.designed to allow thevresidents,of Saddle Creek to utilize the Saddle Creek land on the
north side,of that retention,pond. This land further allows Saddle Creek to create a natural buffer
between Saddle Creek and the property to the north. Unfortunately,you have unilaterally chosen
to usurp the Saddle Creek land to the north of the current retention pond and expand that
retention pond northward.on to yourproperty.
Specifically, you make note of a.deed, of which 1,was not familiar until your recent
.submission of your changes to the Planned Unit Development. Simply,though, that deed does
not provide you the permission to take the exclusive control overthe Saddle Creek land. More
specifically,the deed references that you may have permission for non-exclusive access to use
the drainage system. It does not give you the exclusive authority to decide how the Saddle Creek
land is to bei used. Your statement that you will enlarge the pond to the north and onto the CoCo
Commons property is an illegal taking of the Saddle Creek land;and we object to your doing so.
Additionally,you have not shown any data suggesting no harm to the existing pond you
proposed to.modify or any other ponds within the drainage system of Saddle Creek. You have
not suggested,how you.would intend to pay for the maintenance of this pond or any others within
Saddle Creek's drainage;system.
As such, on behalf'of Saddle.Creek Homeowners Association, Inc., I am informing you
that we do not approve of your proposed unilateral change to our retention pond or the taking of
Saddle Creek land.
If you would like to discuss this any further, please feel free to call or email. I look
forward`to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
