Plan Commission meeting on the 19th. It has been included with this transmittal.

Background:
The applicant is requesting approval of a Primary Plat to include 58 single-family detached
homes. To permit the primary plat as proposed the applicant is requesting a subdivision waiver
to permit 6 homes to face interior streets as positioned as opposed to those homes facing 146th
Street. This plan is consistent with many of the subdivisions along the south side of 146th Street
in the City of Carmel. One point of interest is that the number of lots is 14 fewer than permitted
under the base zoning. Please see the notes below for additional comments:
1. The proposed wall extends from the 146th Street entrance both east and west to very near
the edge of the subdivision. It is somewhat difficult to see clearly on the overall
landscape plan due to the significant number of plantings provided in the area adjacent to
