CARMEL, IN 46032 (317) 571-2417 CARMEL TECHNICAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA Date: Wednesday, July 17, 2013 Place: Dept. of Community Services Conference Room, 3rd Floor, Carmel City Hall. Time: 9:00 a.m. 9:00 a.m. Docket No. 13060023 DP/ADLS: River Road Shops at Legacy. The applicant seeks site plan and design approval for 3 multitenant mixed use commercial buildings. The site is located near 7621 E. 146th St., with frontage on River Rd. and 146th St. It is zoned PUD/ Planned Unit Development, with a small portion in the Special Flood Hazard Area. Filed by Charlie Frankenberger of Nelson & Frankenberger, P.C. Jon Dobosiewicz with Nelson & Frankenberger and Charles Key with C&L Management presented on behalf of the petitioner. This project involves the development of a six-acre site, which will include 3 buildings. The building which will be constructed first will be the one closest to 146th St. The other two buildings will be constructed at a future date. The developer has submitted for ADLS approval for the first building as well as development approval for the entire six-acre site. Greg Hoyes – Hamilton County Surveyor’s Office - Project is still being reviewed. Surveyor’s office is working with Platinum regarding the flood plain mitigation as well as the vacation or relocation of the tile that runs along the west side of the property line. Joanie Clark – Vectren Energy - If gas will be used on this site, the developer will need to submit an AutoCAD file. Nick Redden – City of Carmel Engineering - Letter will be sent as soon as possible. Dan Davenport – Indianapolis Power & Light - This is outside of IP&L service area. Shirley Hunter – Duke Energy - The transformer location on the prints will need to be negotiated and probably will not work where it is shown. A service request will need to be submitted to Duke. Developer said this is a retail and multiple tenant building, which will hopefully start construction this fall. Ms. Hunter said this will fall under the jurisdiction of the Noblesville district office. The developer’s contact will be Christina Girod. The developer would need to submit a service request along with an AutoCAD, load information, and an address for the retail spaces. Ms. Hunter said there is a potential issue with landscaping on this project. The Legacy project just west of this has planted Honey Locust trees, which will eventually grow up into Duke’s lines. These trees will eventually need to be butchered to clear them from the lines. This is a lot of maintenance work for Duke Energy which is why they would like to get these issues settled in the planning stages. The issue with the transformer was that it didn’t appear to be within 10-feet of a paved surface. Chris Ellison – Carmel Fire Department - Mr. Ellison said he did not see utilities or fire hydrants on the inside part of the project, and asked if these would be planned for the future. Mr. Key said there will be internal routing of the water line, and he assumes there will eventually be a hydrant on the southeast corner and another one due south of the building. Mr. Key said there will eventually be two hydrants. Page 2 of 6 WWW.CARMEL.IN.GOV ONE CIVIC SQ. CARMEL, IN 46032 (317) 571-2417 David Lucas – Hamilton County Highway Department - Comments are not about the site, but about the proposed Ricker’s gas station shown on the plans, with access on 146th Street. Mr. Lucas said this access has not been approved by the Board of Commissioners, and it does not look like this will be approved. Mr. Lucas said it could be a long process for the Ricker’s to get this access, so the developer of this project should not count on this access being there. Mr. Ellison added that if this access goes away, it will affect CFD operations. David Littlejohn – City of Carmel Alternative Transportation - Comment letter sent. No further comments. Angie Conn – City of Carmel Planning & Zoning - Preliminary comments sent. Full comment letter will be sent as soon as possible. Teresa Lewis – City of Carmel Utilities Department - Since this is a multi-use building, provisions should be in place for grease interceptors. This information can be found on the Carmel Utilities website. Ryan Hartman – Clay Township Regional Waste - This project is outside CTRWD service area. 9:15 a.m. Docket No. 13060016 DP/ADLS: Point Blank Range & Gun Shop. The applicant seeks site plan and design approval for an indoor shooting range and gun shop. The site is located at 969 N. Range Line Rd. It is zoned B-3/Business and lies within the Carmel Dr. - Range Line Rd. Overlay Zone and partially in the Special Flood Hazard Area. Filed by Charlie Frankenberger of Nelson & Frankenberger, P.C. Jon Dobosiewicz with Nelson & Frankenberger presented on behalf of the petitioner. All agencies should have received plans by now. Greg Hoyes – Hamilton County Surveyor’s Office - This does not fall into Hamilton County watershed, so Carmel will be the contact for stormwater. Joanie Clark – Vectren Energy - Letters have been sent. No comments. Nick Redden – City of Carmel Engineering - Project is still being reviewed. No comments at this time. Dan Davenport – Indianapolis Power & Light - This project is in Duke Energy service area. Ms. Hunter asked if this is an existing building. Shirley Hunter – Duke Energy - Plans have not been received. Ms. Hunter asked if this is an existing building. Mr. Dobosiewicz said the current building will be demolished and then rebuilt. Ms. Hunter said she will need an AutoCAD and a service request. Ms. Hunter asked if this will require single-phase or three-phase electric power. Ms. Hunter said single-phase is available right now, or if three-phase is required, Duke would need to work on this. Mr. Dobosiewicz said the plan is to start construction later this year. Chris Ellison – Carmel Fire Department - Mr. Ellison said he would like to meet with the owner/operator and the architect of record to get a better understanding of the operations of the business. Page 3 of 6 WWW.CARMEL.IN.GOV ONE CIVIC SQ. CARMEL, IN 46032 (317) 571-2417 David Littlejohn – City of Carmel Alternative Transportation - Letter sent. No further comments at this time. Angie Conn – City of Carmel Planning & Zoning - Rough draft of comments sent. Final letter will be sent later.

Ryan Hartman – Clay Township Regional Waste - This project is outside CTRWD service area. 9:25 a.m. Docket No. 13060015 SP: B & B Park Subdivision Final Plat (formerly called Lakeland). The applicant seeks administrative secondary plat approval for 2 lots on 10 acres. The site is located at 12650 Clay Center Rd. It is zoned S-1/Residence. Filed by Michael DeBoy of DeBoy Land Development Services for Christian Browning. Jim Rinehart and David Malks with Williams Creek Consulting presented on behalf of the petitioner. Mr. Rinehart said this is Christian Browning’s property, which is being subdivided so the back two acres can be sold. This is the secondary plat for the property. The property was previously in front of the committee in 2008, but there were issues with the project both with construction, and visually that made the client decide to wait to make it more attractive and cost effective. Greg Hoyes – Hamilton County Surveyor’s Office - Letter sent. Surveyor’s office supports petition for replat and is still considering the release rates of the detention. Joanie Clark – Vectren Energy - Asked if client will want gas service on the property. Mr. Rinehart said he is sure the client will want gas, and noted that this project is approximately ten acres with the back two acres being sold, with the remaining 7-acres staying the same. Nick Redden – City of Carmel Engineering - No comments. Dan Davenport – Indianapolis Power & Light - This project is in Duke Energy service area. Shirley Hunter – Duke Energy - Ms. Hunter asked if this home will be constructed soon. Mr. Rinehart said the expectation is for a fall construction at the earliest. Ms. Hunter asked if it would be possible to make the 20-foot drainage and landscape easement a utility easement as well, as the utility easement on the back west side does not allow for power to be run to this new home. Mr. Rinehart said on Lot #2 there is a 10-foot easement along the front. Mr. Rinehart said if the easement cannot be used, there is no reason a new one couldn’t be created. Chris Ellison – Carmel Fire Department - No comments. David Littlejohn – City of Carmel Alternative Transportation - Letter sent. No further comments. Angie Conn – City of Carmel Planning & Zoning - Comments sent. Awaiting a response. Ryan Hartman – Clay Township Regional Waste Page 4 of 6 WWW.CARMEL.IN.GOV ONE CIVIC SQ. CARMEL, IN 46032 (317) 571-2417 - Letter sent. Mr. Hartman said the only request is that the 10-foot sanitary sewer easement extend to the new property. 9:35 a.m. Docket No. 13060017 PP: Silvara Primary Plat (and PUD Amendment). The applicant seeks primary plat approval for 360 lots on 266 acres, as well as a PUD Ordinance Amendment request: Docket No. 13060020 OA: PUD Chptr 14.3, Exhibit E, and Exhibit L (Section 13): Total number of access points along Springmill Rd. The site is located at 11960 Springmill Rd., northwest of the intersection of 116th St. and Springmill Rd. It is zoned PUD/Planned Unit Development and is partially in the Special Flood Hazard Area. Filed by Doug Wagner of Republic Development, LLC, for Silvara Development Company, LLC. Jim Rinehart with Williams Creek Consulting, Doug Wagner and Lawrence Moon with Republic Development, and Dennis Olmstead with Stoeppelwerth & Associates presented on behalf of the petitioner. This project includes 360 lots on 266 acres. The primary plat follows the PUD mostly, although the developer will be looking for some tweaks to the zoning. Mr. Rinehart said this project is a little unusual since it includes no lakes, and the developer is working with Williams Creek on a more sustainable design which includes bio- swales. Greg Hoyes – Hamilton County Surveyor’s Office - Department is still reviewing the preliminary drainage calculations. Letter will be sent soon. Joanie Clark – Vectren Energy - Asked when the developers hoped to start phase one. Mr. Rinehart said the project will hopefully start by the end of the year. As soon as the developers feel comfortable starting construction they will. Dirt moving will be starting this year and the actual construction will most likely be in 2014. Ms. Clark requested an AutoCAD file. Nick Redden – City of Carmel Engineering - Project is still being reviewed. Comments will be sent as soon as possible. Dan Davenport – Indianapolis Power & Light - This project has a boundary between IP&L and Duke Energy. Both companies will need an AutoCAD of the project so the energy companies can overlay the plans on their maps to figure out the boundaries. Shirley Hunter – Duke Energy - This project will be a challenge but both companies will make it work. Ms. Hunter said the boundary almost divides the project in half, north and south. Ms. Hunter said it is very difficult to change service boundaries so they will have to comply with the lines that are already drawn. Ms. Hunter said she is almost 100-percent sure that block A will be IP&L, as well as everything going west from that location. Ms. Hunter said Duke Energy would be everything to the north. Mr. Moon said phase one would be the main drive which would be the second of four entrances along Spring Mill Rd. Ms. Hunter said the subdivision across the street is Duke Energy and IP&L is south of that. Chris Ellison – Carmel Fire Department - Asked if the dead ends at lots 256 and 236 will allow for fire apparatus to turn around, as the dead ends appear to have a square configuration. Mr. Moon said the plan would be to allow for enough room to accommodate this. Mr. Ellison asked if the developer can provide an emergency circulation plan. Mr. Ellison said between lots 4 and 11, it appears that the water main is in the rear of the properties, and asked if this is accurate. Mr. Moon said this is on an alley, but the paving is 20-feet wide. Mr. Ellison said southwest of lot 11 there is a water main that runs through, and said if the developers could install a fire hydrant on the corner, it would help the fire department immensely. This would allow the fire department to service the front of the homes if there is ever a fire. Page 5 of 6 WWW.CARMEL.IN.GOV ONE CIVIC SQ. CARMEL, IN 46032 (317) 571-2417 David Littlejohn – City of Carmel Alternative Transportation - Letter sent to Brett Huff. No further comments. Angie Conn – City of Carmel Planning & Zoning - Preliminary comments have been sent, and will be finalized by the end of the week. Ms. Conn said the forestry department is also reviewing the plans, and those comments will be sent later as well. Ryan Hartman – Clay Township Regional Waste - Mr. Hartman said CTRWD would like a separate meeting outside of TAC to get an overview of what is being proposed. Mr. Hartman asked if the lift station being proposed will be private or turned over to the township. Mr. Olmstead said the developer is planning on this lift station being turned over. 9:45 a.m. Docket No. 13060022 Z: Horizon Bank Rezone. The applicant seeks approval to rezone 0.317 acres from OM/O-Old Meridian Office Zone to OM/V-Old Meridian Village Zone. The site is located at the northeast corner of Old Meridian St. and Carmel Dr., just west of 1200 Carmel Dr. and south of Providence at Old Meridian. Filed by Steven Hardin of Faegre Baker Daniels LLP on behalf of Horizon Bank. Gene Valanzano with Faegre Baker Daniels and Jim Jaksa with Horizon Bank presented on behalf of the petitioner. This project will be located at the corner of Old Meridian and Carmel Drive. The property on the corner is split into two separate zoning classifications. This would be a rezone for the south triangle on that parcel. Mr. Valanzano said the plan has changed slightly due to engineering requirements.
