Docket No. 05020035 SW: 20G 5.1 (F)(4) - Building Width
The applicant seeks to reduce the required unit width from 22 feet to 20 feet. The site is
located at 1335 W. Main Street and is zoned OM.
Filed by Kenny Windler of Ryland Homes.
The public hearing for this item was held at the April 19th Plan Commission meeting. The public
made no comments. The commission requested additional information regarding the following:
1. Parking was noted as inadequate for the project. There was a request to see additional
parking spaces.
2. A request was made to see an overall exhibit of the area to see how this site fit into
the overall old meridian plan.
3. There was a request to see the location of the 20' wide units.
The Department recommends that the Subdivision Committee forward this item back to
the full Plan Commission after all comments and concerns are addressed.
Background:
The applicant is requesting approval of a Development Plan and ADLS for the construction of 56
townhomes on approximately 4.5 acres. The plan is consistent with the overall development
concept established by the Old Meridian District. The applicant is requesting approval of four
waives to permit the following:
1. 20' wide living units as opposed 22' as prescribed by ordinance.
2. Exemption from the requirement to recess entry doors 3 to 5'.
3. An increase in the allowed building separation of 6'
4. Two permanent entry signs where the ordinance does not allow subdivision
monumentation.
The proposed layout of the sit allows for the future construction of the Grand Boulevard south
from Main street and the extension of an east/west street within the approved Alexandria of
Carmel project to the west of the subject parcel. The surrounding parcels are similarly zoned and
this layout allows for the development of the area consistent with the plan for single family
attached housing that is part of the Old Meridian District Plan. The applicant has addressed all
department concerns this the information submitted within the information booklet.
