STATEMENT OF PURPOSE- AMENDED COMMITMENTS
,
On November 16, 2004, the Carmel Plan Commission unanimously approved the
Development Plan and Architectural Design, Lighting and Signage proposals submitted by
Eclipse Real Estate, Inc. ("Eclipse") for its proposed development located on the northeast
corner of 116th Street and Keystone Avenue, as reflected in the Aerial Location Map attached
under Tab 2. This redevelopment proposal includes a 1.260 +/- acre parcel that is zoned B-3
and located within the U.S. 431 Overlay Zone. Eclipse proposes to develop an 8,400 square
foot building on the project site with significantly enhanced architectural features. The project
will include office and retail uses including a banking facility and a Starbucks coffee shop, as
shown on the front building elevation attached under Tab 3.
As part of its Development Plan, Eclipse submitted certain Commitments Concerning the
Use and Development of Real Estate (the "Commitments") for the proposed development. In
the Commitments, Eclipse agreed to limit the times during which deliveries to the Real Estate
could occur, and that deliveries would be permitted after 6:00 a.m. and until 10:00 p.m. each
day. After approval of the Development Plan, Eclipse, as part of its ongoing negotiations with
Starbucks, learned that Starbucks requires the ability to have up to one delivery between 10:00
p.m. and 6:00 a.m. each day.
In this filing, Eclipse is requesting that the Carmel Plan Commission approve amended
Commitments Concerning the Use and Development of Real Estate in the form attached under
Tab 4 (the "Amended Commitments"). Eclipse proposes two amendments to the Commitments,
which proposed amendments are reflected in the highlighted text in the Amended Commitments
attached under Tab 4. Specifically, the two proposed amendments are as follows:
o
.
Up to one delivery for Starbucks would be permitted through the front entrance of
the Starbucks store (facing Keystone Avenue) between 10:00 p.m. and 6:00
a.m.; and
The amendment procedure has been modified to comply with the provisions of
the Carmel ordinance regarding commitment amendments.
With respect to the first requested amendment, this one after hours delivery would be
specifically limited to the front of the Starbucks store, facing Keystone Avenue, and adequate
screening and buffering will be in place around the perimeter of the site. Therefore, any
disruption to adjoining property owners to the North and East of the proposed development from
this one after hours delivery would be minimized.
Eclipse has discussed the Amended Commitments with the Carmel planning staff and
counsel for the adjoining neighbors. Eclipse understands that the Carmel planning staff has no
objection to the Amended Commitments. Counsel for the adjoining neighbors also has
indicated that the neighbors have no objections to the Amended Commitments.
Given the limited nature of the proposed amendments to the Commitments, Eclipse
respectfully requests that the Carmel Plan Commission give final approval to the Amended
Commitments at its February 15, 2005 meeting without sending the matter to the Special
Studies Committee. Thank you for your consideration.
