6h. 169 -00 PP Amend; Richard L. Hayes Two Level Luxury Townhouses,
Block A
Primary Plat Amendment petition for World Wide Motors and Indiana
Basketball Academy, LLC. The petitioner seeks approval to divide Block
A into two blocks on 3.439 + - acres. The site is located at 3774 and 3800
Bauer Drive West. The site is zoned B- 3/business. Original secondary
plat approved 4/19/94, as 39 -94 SP.
Filed by James J. Nelson of Nelson & Frankenberger for World Wide
Motors and Indiana Basketball Academy, LLC.
Jim Nelson, 3663 Brumley Way, Carmel, appeared before the Commission representing
World Wide Motors and the Indiana Basketball Academy in connection with their
request to divide Block A into two blocks.
World Wide Motors (Mercedes dealership of Horst Winkler) has agreed to purchase a
part of the real estate owned by the basketball academy represented by the common
address of 3800 Bauer Drive West. The request is to amend the primary plat to permit
the division of the 3.439 acres of real estate into two lots, to be known as Block A -1 and
Block A -2. Mr. Nelson further described the location of the real estate as being at the
north end of Bauer Commercial Park on Bauer Drive West. The real estate under
discussion is located between the basketball academy and the self - storage facility. World
Wide Motors plans to use this site in conjunction with its existing facility, as a location to
prepare new cars for delivery to buyers, or for placement on the showroom floor. The
minimum number of employees would be 6, and there would be no surface lighting, no
signage, and the building would be single story, 7,500 square feet in size.
This parcel is currently zoned B -3 business, and therefore will also require the approval
of the Board of Zoning Appeals.
Members of the public were invited to speak in favor of or opposition to the petition;
none appeared.
General Comments:
Jennifer Engler, 3505 East 98th Street, lives directly behind this parcel. Her two concerns
are lighting, which has been addressed, and noise, such as car alarms. She wonders who
will monitor this situation, especially at night.
Mr. Nelson responded that World Wide Motors has the services of a private security
patrol, and he assumes this same service would monitor the additional site at night. He
suggested Ms. Engler meet with Mr. Winkler to discuss this situation.
Staff Comments: Mr. Lillig recommends referral to the Subdivision Committee meeting
on December 5, 2000.
The public hearing was closed.
