Docket No. 156-02 ADLS Amend; Marsh Village Pantry #496 Petitioner seeks amended Architectural Design, Lighting, Landscaping & Signage approval to modify building and canopy exteriors. The site is located at 9601 North College Avenue. The site is zoned B-3 Business. Filed by David Olson of Village Pantry, LLC. TABLED at the request of the Petitioner 3. Docket No. 140-02 DP Amend/ADLS Amend; Motorcycles of Indianapolis The applicant seeks Amended Development Plan and ADLS approval to construct building th additions. The site is located at 4146 East 96 Street. The site is zoned B-3 (Business). Filed by Bill Keller of KES Consultants, Inc. for Motorcycles of Indianapolis. Bill Keller of KES Consultants appeared before the Committee representing the applicant. Also present was Russ Dellen, 10743 Royal Drive, Carmel, owner of Motorcycles of Indianapolis. 1 S:\\PlanCommission\\Minutes\\SpecialStudyCommitteeMinutes\\PC SS2003jan One of the issues to be resolved is the landscape plan for the overall site. A landscape architect from Eagle Creek Nursery visited the site and has made certain changes in the landscape plan, incorporating the existing and adding new plantings. Blue Spruce, smaller shrubs, and new th flowerbeds will be added around the sides of the building and along 96 Street to the corner of the property. New elevations were distributed showing the building from the front, the office addition, and the planting beds. Planters have been added to the front of the building. Laurence Lillig commented on behalf of the Department. The revised landscape plan should be filed with the Department in duplicate, one to Scott Brewer, Urban Forester. The committee raised two concerns last month, the first of which is overnight, outdoor storage. Russ Dellen said the arch/canopy is for protection in inclement weather or extreme heat; no motorcycles will be stored there. The objective is to “freshen” the building and give it a new look. The addition will be an office for corporate staff. There will absolutely be no outside storage; everything will be stored under cover at night. Laurence Lillig further commented that another item of concern was the office addition—it needs to be better integrated into the existing store. Mr. Keller responded the objective was to provide a more monumental effect at the front of the building through the expansion of the landscaping. The building is pretty rectangular and there is not a lot that can be done with that. The aesthetics are being addressed with landscaping in an effort to change the appearance and soften the overall look of the building. In regard to the ground sign, the Department recommends this be better incorporated into the design of the building. The applicant should also apply for a Sign Permit. Russ Dellen said the ground sign eliminated Kawasaki and Suzuki, since they no longer had those franchises, and Harley-Davidson was added. The applicant will apply for a sign permit. Laurence Lillig said the Department is questioning the trailers that are frequently parked to the front of the building. The trailer/s can be stored on site—behind the building, not out front of the building. Mr. Dellen responded there is only one trailer and generally, it is parked behind the dealership. It is used to pick up vehicles and transport them to shows or to the Indy 500. Mr. Dellen said the motorcycles are taken out for demonstration purposes, but are not outside for display. The bikes that are left for service are dropped off under the canopy, and then moved to the service department. Pat Rice was concerned with the look of the metal posts protruding from the brick pillars and the overall look of the curved canopy and support pillars. There is something about the metal post sticking up out of the brick and the metal canopy looks like a carport. 2 S:\\PlanCommission\\Minutes\\SpecialStudyCommitteeMinutes\\PC SS2003jan Mr. Dellen said they would bring the brick all the way up. The building is masonry block, but has the appearance of brick. Leo Dierckman disagreed and thought the curved canopy and rounded posts made for a much more attractive, more modern look. Nick Kestner questioned the lighting. Mr. Keller responded they are not changing the exterior lighting; however there is existing lighting under the canopies at present that are surface mounted to the soffit. The Committee requested recessed lighting under the canopy. Jerry Chomanczuk said the current revision is a vast improvement over the prior rendition. The brick wrap-around columns are OK, and the poles add contrast. The landscape is good in front of the building. Of prime concern is whether or not the applicant sticks to their verbal commitment and does not display the motorcycles at the front of the building. Docket No. 140-02 DP Wayne Wilson moved to recommend approval to the full Commission of Amendment/ADLS Amend, Motorcycles of Indianapolis , subject to landscape approval, appropriate sign permit, and recessed lighting on the canopies. The motion was seconded by Dianna Knoll and approved 6-0. 4. Docket No. 157-02 DP Amend/ADLS; Hamilton Crossing Building #6 The applicant seeks amended development plan and ADLS approval to construct an office building.The site is generally located on the south side of 131st Street between U.S. Highway 31 and Meridian Corners Blvd. Filed by Blair D. Carmosino of Duke Realty Corporation. th Blair Carmosino of Duke Realty Corporation, 600 East 96 Street, Carmel appeared before the Committee representing the applicant. Also in attendance: Jennifer Burke, Senior Vice President of Indiana Office Group, Alan Tucker of CSO Architects, Larry Longman, Pre-Construction Group, and Steve Granner of Bose McKinney & Evans. st The applicant is seeking approval to construct an office building located at the south side of 131 Street between US Highway 31 and Meridian Corners Boulevard. This is the last building within the Hamilton Crossing Development located at the north end of the development. The site is 10.002 st acres with frontage on Meridian Corners Boulevard to the west, and 131 Street to the north. The project consists of a 5-story office building and a grade plus 2 parking structure. The 180,000 square foot office building is located toward the Meridian corridor frontage, with the parking garage behind it. There are some technical issues dealing with setbacks that necessitate three variances, and the applicant will be going before the Board of Zoning Appeals in January. The variances are related to the geometry of the 20-foot build-to line of Meridian Corners, the 90-foot build-to line of U.S. 31, and the placement of the garage. All vehicular access to this 3 S:\\PlanCommission\\Minutes\\SpecialStudyCommitteeMinutes\\PC SS2003jan building will be off of Hamilton Crossing Boulevard, a private roadway traversing through the th development. Hamilton Crossing Boulevard connects Meridian Corners down to 126 Street. The boundaries of the property respect the reservation of right-of-way. The loading facilities for the site are located on the north end and similar to the Parkwood 6 integrated facility with the surrounded structure. The loading facility has a scissors-lift that recesses into the ground and flush when not in use. The west elevation shows the dumpster located on the st north end of the building, fronting 131 Street. The building is oriented with the longest dimension paralleling US 31 in order to give the building more presence on the US 31 corridor. The garage structure will be at grade level plus two. There will also be surface parking. The garage structure will have a top of wall approximately 24 feet high with a stair tower extending about 8 feet beyond. The top level of parking will be approximately 21 feet; there will be a 3-foot knee-wall extending above the surface. The ramps for the garage are at the front of the building and this eliminates any angular facades of the building. Unlike other garages seen from 465, the ramps are internal and therefore not at an angle. The landscape plan is similar to Hamilton Crossing #5 in phasing. The heavy row of evergreens will be phased in as phase II, and will provide the best screening possible for the dumpster. This will be installed with the initial construction of the building. The landscaping plan has been re-vamped most drastically on the west side. In discussions with the neighbors, a treatment has been added that was used in Parkwood East, West, and Parkwood Crossing. The spacing and tree sizes, everything is the same—the only difference is in the amount of area to get the mounds up as high as possible. The petitioner has committed to the area residents that the mounds will be at least 2 to 4 feet—more if at all possible. The Lighting Plan has been revised due to negotiations with the neighbors. The parking garage will have full-mounted lights with the height of the light poles being limited to 15 feet. The poles in the parking lot extend to 25 feet. The petitioner has elected to shield the light source as best they can in the areas that need security at night. On the western-most side of the garage, the visibility of the light source has been limited down to about the center of the mound. There are also wall-mounted lights 15 feet high. Initially, there are 4 wall-mounted lights on the west side of the garage. The adjacent residents suggested, and the petitioner has agreed, to eliminate the wall-mounted lights and install pole lights on the west side of the parking lot. This issue is still open. The view of the light source would tail-off somewhere in the middle of Meridian Corners Blvd. The rear yard fence on the west side of Meridian Corners Blvd. is 6 feet high, not 8 feet as depicted, and anything below the fence is not going to be visible from the back of the lower elevation of the houses. Sight-line “B” from the second floor of the adjacent homes goes directly into the top of the garage. The fence is doing the best justice possible for the neighbors. Other issues to be addressed that related to the garage were the noise, and the glow. The screeching of tires and loud noises from garages is due predominately to the smooth finish in the floor. Duke Realty has recently installed “broom finish” floors on other garages, and the screeching effect has been eliminated. Honking will still be heard, and potential sources of noise will be closer to the 4 S:\\PlanCommission\\Minutes\\SpecialStudyCommitteeMinutes\\PC SS2003jan homes at Meridian Corners. The lighting issue or glow from the garage is no more intense than the lights at the front of the buildings. In some cases, you cannot even pick out the garage. After studying cut-sheets on screening material for the garage, Duke has elected not to include any screening material on the areas where the garage is located. As the sight line shows, the internal lights have been recessed. The glow is no more apparent than if there were building lights or pole mounted lights. Adjacent Neighbors Gentleman: Main issues are lighting and noise from the garage, and loss of privacy for those homes adjacent to the parking garage. The parking garage is much closer to the homes than the office building. Neighbors request screening of the light source at the top of the garage, and the garage structure. Lady: Concerned with light source at the top of the parking garage that would illuminate her home, would necessitate “blackout shades,” and result in loss of privacy. Blair Carmosino responded that Duke is willing to install additional trees, Norway Spruce and Green Spruce, (planting height, 8-10 feet) and remove the wall packs from the outside of the building that shine into the adjacent neighborhood. Department Comments, Laurence Lillig. The lighting cut-sheets show convex lenses and the problem is glare—there is much less glare with a flat lens. Therefore, the Department is recommending the petitioner use flat lens. Globes could be used on the lamps inside the garage to control the light. Some type of architectural shielding might be considered along the sides of the st garage. The right-of-way issue along 131 Street and Meridian Corners Boulevard needs to be resolved prior to the Committee returning this item to the full Commission. Blair Carmosino responded that a letter was submitted to the City Engineer, copy to Jon Dobosiewicz, regarding the right-of-way. It is not necessarily dealing with the reservation of the ramp, but its auxillary rights-of way above and beyond what is already in place and in place on Meridian Corners. The Thoroughfare Plan changed since the construction of Meridian Corners two years ago. At that time, Duke built Meridian Corners Blvd. as committed for a 100-foot right-of-way; the Thoroughfare Plan then changed to 120-foot right-of-way. Currently there is a request to dedicate an additional 10 feet for this project. Duke’s opinion is that the road has improved to full Thoroughfare standards. Duke is willing to dedicate the additional right-of-way st on 131 and Meridian Corners to the City after detailed plans show that it is warranted. Laurence Lillig suggested a written, recordable commitment be prepared by Duke and submitted to the Department. The variance requests have been covered at this point. It would seem that at present, the biggest concern with respect to the design centers around the lighting plan and some provisions need to be made in that regard. Paul Spranger said there should be NO wall packs on the building. Blair Carmosino explained the surface lighting. Paul Spranger referred the petitioner to other projects in the area and the lighting preferred by the Plan Commission. 5 S:\\PlanCommission\\Minutes\\SpecialStudyCommitteeMinutes\\PC SS2003jan Blair Carmosino said he is concerned with the lighting on the garage. The ballards on the top of the garage do not provide adequate coverage. Paul Spranger suggested limiting the number of poles and look carefully at the heads on the fixtures—flat lens are preferred, custom shields, etc. in order to adequately screen the lighting of the garage from the adjacent neighbors. Paul Spranger also suggested screening the open areas of the garage and staying within the harmony of the architectural design of the buildings. Blair Carmosino responded that the lighting and design is not that offensive—there are two factors involved and that is the cost of the screening and keeping within the design of the project. The petitioner complies with the foot-candle of the Ordinance. of Docket No. 157-02 DP Amend/ADLS, Wayne Wilson moved to recommend approval Hamilton Crossing Building #6, subject to: Resolution of 120 foot right-of-way, agreed by City Engineer submitted in a recordable commitment; resolution of visible light source regarding the shielding of light from neighbors, flat lens agreed. Architectural shielding of garage as per recommendations of the Department and agreed to by petitioner—also a condition of approval. The APPROVED motion was seconded by Pat Rice and 6 in favor, one opposed (Dianna Knoll.) nd 5. Docket No. 166-02 Z; Pennsylvania and 122 Street - Northeast Corner The applicant seeks to rezone 28.378 acres zoned R-1 (Residential) and M-3 nd (Manufacturing) to B-6 (Business). The site is located at the northeast corner of 122 Street and Pennsylvania Road. Filed by Blair D. Carmosino of Duke Realty Corporation. Note: Leo Dierckman and Jerry Chomanczuk recused themselves regarding this item and were not . present during discussion and voting Blair Carmosino of Duke Realty appeared before the Committee representing the applicant. Also present was Jennifer Burke, Senior Vice President of Indiana Office Group. In addition, Steve Granner of Bose McKinney & Evans was in attendance. nd The applicant is seeking a rezone of 28.378 acres located at the northeast corner of 122 Street and Pennsylvania Street. The ground is currently owned by a subsidiary of Conseco, Bankers National Life. This project was reviewed by the Technical Advisory Committee; currently there are drainage issues that are being resolved. nd The right-of-way for 122 Street has been dedicated but not recorded, contrary to the Department report. The applicant has met with the City Engineer and confirmed that the dedication will be recorded. Right-of-way for Pennsylvania has also been dedicated, with the exception of the 10- foot th strip that extends 150 feet south of the round-about for Pennsylvania and the 126 Street extension. In regard to the landscape plan, Blair reported that a tenant has not yet been committed, and the land position will be in place so that market demands can be met. Any commitments made today prior to or in conjunction with the roadway improvements, cannot be firm because of the unknown timetable as far as construction. Two conceptual plans were submitted to demonstrate how the property could be developed—however, neither is realistic at this point. It is unsure what kind of market this property 6 S:\\PlanCommission\\Minutes\\SpecialStudyCommitteeMinutes\\PC SS2003jan would meet. One plan entertains small office use, a user that wants to be near the Meridian corridor, wants is own identity, 20-40,000 square foot building, free standing, smaller office building. The other plan entertains a larger, 40,000 plus square foot building, 2-3 stories are both compatible with uses in this zone. nd Laurence Lillig reported for the Department. The M-3 property on the northeast corner of 122 and Pennsylvania Street is part of the Carmel Science & Technology Park. Is the plan to amend the primary plat for the Technology Park to bring in this other parcel? Blair Carmosino said they would not be opposed to that, but that would have to be explored with the property owners. Laurence further explained that the property that is already a part of the Technology Park is required to plat. There are two options: either bring the property into the subdivision OR vacate out of the subdivision. The Department would probably prefer that the property be brought into the subdivision, but the petitioner must discuss with the property owner and make that determination. The Department asked for a commitment to Development Plan Approval for this project. It is the 31 Overlay that requires a Development Plan; this would be a rare piece of B-6 zoned ground outside the 31 Overlay—the B-6 itself does not have a Development Plan requirement. The ADLS is a commitment that is attendant to the Carmel Science & Technology Park. Regardless whether this ground is zoned B-6 or M-3, there is still the commitment that runs with the Technology Park for ADLS approval. Laurence asked for a copy of the proposed rezone ordinance. It should be noted that the City also anticipates eliminating the M-3 Zoning. The petitioner is willing to commit to the ADLS but questioned the need for the Development Plan. In fact, the petitioner must return to the Plan Commission with the ADLS, the DP can come through simultaneously or with a different application at another time. Blair Carmosino commented that the entity that owns the ground has no desire to develop it. B-6 allows some retail, light industrial, could be varying extent on a case-by-case basis. B-6 would offer the most flexible zoning that would work well with the existing use of the 31 Overlay, the Carmel Science and Technology Park, and the potential conversion of the Old Meridian corridor. Wayne Wilson moved to recommend approval, subject to the recording of right-of-way dedication. The motion was seconded by Pat Rice and APPROVED 5 in favor, none opposed, Leo Dierckman and Jerry Chomanczuk recused. 6. Docket No. 170-02 ADLS Amend; Carmel Foot & Ankle Center Petitioner seeks amended Architectural Design, Lighting, Landscaping & Signage approval to replace an existing ground sign. The site is located at 277 East Carmel Drive. The site is zoned B-8 Business. Filed by Sherry Marchbanks of A Sign by Design. th Sherry Marchbanks, A Sign by Design, 5008 W. 96 Street, Indianapolis appeared before the Committee representing the applicant. Permission is requested to replace an existing ground sign and install additional tenant sign for existing signage. Laurence Lillig noted that each tenant must be represented equally on the sign, and this design does not accomplish that. The design also does not meet the Ordinance that requires each tenant to share equally in the sign area in a multi-tenant building. In order to execute the proposed design, a 7 S:\\PlanCommission\\Minutes\\SpecialStudyCommitteeMinutes\\PC SS2003jan variance from the BZA would be required. Docket No. 170-02 ADLS Amend, Carmel Foot & Ankle Paul Spranger moved to approve Center proposed signage while working within the existing sign cabinet, 3X10 feet, graphics to include “Carmel Foot & Ankle” and the Carmel family practice, reduce the phone number size and drop Brown & Co., LLC. The petitioner will also incorporate brick or stone around the landscaped base, pending BZA approval. Carmel Foot & Ankle will be teal color and Dr. Tony will be in white to distinguish the two (pending BZA approval). The motion was seconded by Pat Rice and APPROVED 7-0. 7. Docket No. 176-02 ADLS Amend- Hamilton Crossing West, Buildings 3 & 4 Petitioner seeks amended Architectural Design, Lighting, Landscaping & Signage approval of two ground signs and a wall sign. The site is located at 12800 & 12900 North Meridian Street. The site is zoned B-2 Business. Filed by Steven Granner of Bose McKinney & Evans for Baker Hill Corporation. Steve Granner of Bose McKinney & Evans, Blair Carmosino of Duke Realty, and Jim Renshaw of Baker Hill Corporation, appeared before the Committee representing the applicant. Currently, Baker Hill is a tenant in Building 4. The petitioner is requesting approval to remove the current sign and put up new sign on the east side. There is a slight change in logo and script. The sign is consistent with previous ADLS approvals in 1999 for the existing wall sign facing west towards the adjacent neighborhood. In 1989, the Board of Zoning Appeals approved a sign package for Hamilton Crossing for the east and west sides of the buildings. As a part of the signage on the west side, 4 types of signs were allowed, including a building identification sign and a tenant sign. The ADLS petitions were approved for two types of signs for buildings 3 and 4, but the tenant identification signs were approved adjacent to the building. At this time, the applicant is seeking to re-locate a tenant sign that is adjacent to the building and move it adjacent to Meridian Corners Boulevard for Baker Hill and moving their identification from the west façade of the building to the east façade. The tenant identification sign would be retained that is consistent with what was previously approved. Laurence Lillig stated that the signage appears to be consistent with the Variances approved by the Board of Zoning Appeals in the past. Once the Special Study Committee has addressed its concerns, the Department is recommending approval. Steve Granner commented there are two signs: One for Baker Hill, Building 4; one for Building 3, tenant to be announced. of Docket No. 176-02 ADLS Amend, Hamilton Crossing Dianna Knoll moved for approval West, Buildings 3 & 4 . as presentedThe motion was seconded by Jerry Chomanczuk and APPROVED 7-0. 8 S:\\PlanCommission\\Minutes\\SpecialStudyCommitteeMinutes\\PC SS2003jan 8. Docket No. 179-02 ADLS Amend- Super Target Petitioner seeks amended Architectural Design, Lighting, Landscaping & Signage approval to replace a wall sign. The site is located at 10401 North Michigan Road. The site is zoned B-3 Business and is within the US 421 Overlay Zone. Filed by Bruce Maechtle of Poblocki & Sons, LLC for Target Corp. th Bruce Maechtle of Poblocki & Sons, 922 South 70 Street, West Allis, Wisconsin appeared before the Committee representing the applicant. The petitioner will be removing the existing sign and replacing with a 64 square foot sign. The lettering is a metal “can” with aluminum red facing, illuminated from behind. The script lettering will be in the existing style. Laurence Lillig reported for the Department. The application needs a photograph of the existing sign or a $90.00 inspection fee to be paid to the Department. The petitioner will submit a photograph. Docket 179-02 ADLS Amend, Super Target Wayne Wilson moved for approval of . The motion APPROVED was seconded by Paul Spranger and 7-0. 9. Docket No. 180-02 ADLS Amend- Parkwood Crossing, Indiana Insurance Petitioner seeks amended Architectural Design, Lighting, Landscaping & Signage approval to replace a wall sign. The site is located at 350 East 96th Street. The site is zoned B-6 Business and is within the US 31 Overlay Zone. Filed by Sherry Marchbanks of A Sign By Design for Indiana Insurance. th Sherry Marchbanks, A Sign by Design, 5008 West 96 Street, Indianapolis appeared before the Committee representing the applicant. The petitioner would like to update the existing wall sign and has submitted a picture of the existing sign with the application. The proposed sign is back-lit, the same color, and approximately 10 square feet larger than the existing sign. There is also a ground sign at the front of the building. Laurence Lillig stated that if Indiana Insurance is the only tenant, they are allowed more than 25% sizing on the logo. Docket No. 180-02 ADLS Amend, Parkwood Crossing, Nick Kestner moved to approve IndianaInsurance APPROVED signage as submitted. The motion was seconded by Pat Rice and 7-0, 10. Docket No. 189-02 ADLS Amend- Shelbourne Estates Subdivision Sign (formerly Claybourne) Petitioner seeks amended Architectural Design, Lighting, Landscaping & Signage approval to install a new subdivision sign. The site is located along West 131st Street, 1/4 mile west of Shelbourne Road. The site is zoned S-1/Residence. Filed by Chris Werth for Boomerang Development, LLC. Chris Werth appeared before the Committee representing the applicant, Boomerang Development. A change is being requested in the entry monument from that initially presented at the Primary Plat 9 S:\\PlanCommission\\Minutes\\SpecialStudyCommitteeMinutes\\PC SS2003jan stage. The name of the Subdivision has changed and the product is different than originally planned. Mr. Werth submitted an artist’s rendering showing brick fence with wrought iron and cast bronze letters; landscape mounds will contain live flowers. The sign is 2 feet 4 inches by six feet 8 inches or 15.5 square feet. According to the applicant, the logo is agreeable to Jon Dobosiewicz. Laurence Lillig stated concern that in a case like this where there are flanking signs, the cumulative or combined area of both signs goes toward the 15 square feet. In terms of the Shelbourne Estates sign area this is OK, but under the Ordinance, the logos are considered to be signage and strictly speaking, would constitute 7 signs on one side alone. However, Laurence said he would be guided by Jon’s review of the signage. Chris Werth asked about the street signs—Wayne Wilson directed the applicant to the Street Department because the area will be annexed and once the property is within the City limits, the street signs would not conform to City standards. The applicant will also need a “Consent to Encroach” for the signs that are within the common areas/drainage & utility easement. Docket 189-02 ADLS Amend, Shelbourne Estates Subdivision Pat Rice moved for approval of Sign (formerly Claybourne) as submitted. The motion was seconded by Dianna Knoll and APPROVED 7-0. 11. Docket No. 162-02 OA; 163-02 CPA Amendment to the Carmel/Clay Zoning Ordinance - Agricultural District Amendment to the Carmel/Clay Comprehensive Plan - Agricultural District The petitioner seeks to add a new zoning district to the Zoning Ordinance. Filed by the Department of Community Services. Laurence Lillig reported for the Department of Community Services. The current proposal will add “Agricultural District” to the Carmel Zoning Ordinance and adopt policies for Agricultural Districts. The District will allow holders of larger properties, undeveloped areas, to rezone their properties from low density residential areas to agricultural districts. The proposal would enable property holders to take advantage of tax concessions currently being considered by the State legislature. The proposal will not go forward to the Carmel City Council until such time as the State Legislature has acted. This would be voluntary for the property owner and not initiated by the City. This tool would be added to the Carmel Zoning Ordinance for those property owners who wish to take advantage. Docket Nos. 162-02 OA and 163-02 CPA were tabled at the Committee level to coincide with action by State Legislature. 12. Docket No. 150-02b OA; Amendments to the Carmel/Clay Zoning Ordinance – Patch #4 The petitioner seeks to add new provisions to and make several corrective amendments to the Zoning Ordinance. Filed by the Department of Community Services. 10 S:\\PlanCommission\\Minutes\\SpecialStudyCommitteeMinutes\\PC SS2003jan Tabled to February There being no further business to come before the Committee, the meeting was adjourned at 9:55 PM. ______________________________ Leo Dierckman, Chairperson _____________________________ Ramona Hancock, Secretary 11 S:\\PlanCommission\\Minutes\\SpecialStudyCommitteeMinutes\\PC SS2003jan
