Re: Dr. Lynn Burford Building Project which is immediately south of our property
Dear Committee members:
Since our letter of June 24, we have meet with Greg Hoyes at the Hamilton County
Surveyor's Office, JOml South at the Hamilton County Soil and Water Conservation
Office, Scott Brewer, City Forrester, Environmental Planner, as well as having a
telephone conversation with Dick Hill at the City of Carmel's Department of
Engineering. There is no near term construction plan. Mr. Hill estimated that any
construction of this section of Pennsylvania was at least 2 to 3 years in the future.
We were shown a Burford project plan showing a proposal to drain the "dry detention
area" on the north end of the project to the east ditch on Delaware street. The long
standing surface and water table problems of this area must not be exacerbated. We were
pleased to be assured by Mr. Greg Hoyes that neither this proposal nor a dry retention
area without an outlet will be approved. Presently all surface water from Delaware Street
from 106th to approximately 103rd, Washington Blvd. from 106th to l04th and the south
side of 106tl1 east of Pennsylvania to 325 East 106th go to a small tile on private property
running from the west side of Delaware to a larger tile on the Schneider property thence
to the Clare Knotts drain..
Dr. Burford's attorney, James Shinaver, informed us he would provide the number and
types of trees to be planted in the northern and eastern perimeter of the site as well as
their approximate height 2 years and 10 years after planting once this information has
been obtained. We have not yet received this information. The Hackberry trees
tentatively planned to be planted on our property line could be planted with smaller trees.
The mature height of the Hackberry tree is forty to sixty feet with a spread of
approximately forty feet.
In Scott Brewer's correspondence of June 01 to Shawn Curran (Mr. Brewer gave us a
copy) states the following: ".... The landscape plan shows a wide expense of lawn along
Pennsylvania Street. It is not clear why this could not (be) used for planting the required
plant material the parcel seems to be lacking." And .... "Though this development may
be "allowed" under the zoning code, it may be very difficult to fit this much on this
narrow lot adjacent to a residential neighborhood."

RE: Burford Office Park DP/ADLS (05040026 DP/ADLS)
Dear Mr. Shinaver:
This letter is in response to your Development Plan! ADLS application for the proposed Burford
Office development. The following is our list of comments and concerns:
1. This project will require a Replat of the Penn View Heights Subdivision. Please
submit a replat application and associated materials for docketing and review.
2. Submit a photometric lighting plan for review. Please ensure that this plan
complies with the lighting standards found in ZO 23 E: Home Place District
Overlay. Include fixture details.
3. In regards to hedges planted for parking lot screening, commit to allowing hedges
to grow to maturity and form a "hedge wall". Over pruning hedge plantings does
not allow them to function as intended.
4. A minimum of 2 bicycle parking spaces/racks are required. Please provide and
indicate on plans.
5. Label the Pennsylvania Street right of way distance.
6. Identify the desired location of the proposed ground sign. Note that the sign must
be at least 5 feet from the right of way of Pennsylvania Street. The ground sign
must be no larger than 75 square feet. . Please show the actual sign area
dimensions (and not the outer measure of the entire sign structure). Ifwall signs
are desired please indicate their location and provide details.
7 . Remove the development standards on the cover sheet. This site lies within the
West Home Place Commercial Corridor, not the Business District. The existing
setbacks are 40 foot rear and side, and a 15 foot front. DOCS is working to
amend these standards to the following: Front Setback 5 feet; Side Setback 10
feet; and Rear Setback 15 feet (next to residence), 10 feet (next to business).
These revised standards are the ones you should use for your layout. As submitted
your proposed buildings are in compliance with these standards.

RE: Dr. Lynn Burford's Office, ~orth Pennsylvania Street-Project Revie,v #1
Dear Ms. Hartman:
\Ve have revie\ved the construction plans submitted for the 11ay 18, 2005 Technical Advisory Committee
meeting. \Ve offer the follo\ving comments:
GENERAL INFOR1\fATION
1. A portion of this site is \vithin corporate limits, specifically the dedicated right of way of Pennsylvania
Street. The remainder of the project site is currently located outside of current City of Carmel
Corporate Limits. Although the annexation of the area outside of corporate limits has been approved
by Carmel City Council, the process is still in the remonstrance phase and the annexation is not official
as of this date.
2 . Jurisdictions:
· Street and Right of\Vay - City of Carmel (Pennsylvania Street).
Hamilton County High\vay Department (Delaware Street)
. \Vater - Indianapolis Water Company.
. Sanitary Sewer - Clay TO\VDship Regional \Vaste District
· Storm Se\ver - Hamilton County Surveyor's Office
3. Board of Public vvTorks and Safety Approval Requirements:
· Commercial Curb Cut, Pennsylvania Street only. The request for Board approval should include 8
~" x 11" exhibits that will indicate the existing curb cut (if applicable), the proposed curb cut arid
all appropriate data and dimensions including \vidth, radii, etc. Please indicate all existing and
opposing driveways and their relationship to the proposed curb cut for this development.
· Temporary Construction Entrance. Separate BPWS approval will be required if this entrance is to
be located anywhere on Pennsylvania Street other than the site of the permanent curb cut.
· Consent to Encroach approvals for any permanent improvement to be installed within dedicated
right of way.
. Secondary Plat approval (if applicable).
· );edication of Public Right of\Vay (if applicable)
· Open Pavement Cut~ for any utility connections. The request for Board approval should include 8
~" x 11" exhibits that will indicate the open cuts and all appropriate data and dimensions
including width, radii, etc. Please indicate all existing and opposing drive\vays and their
relationship to the proposed open cut for this development.
I am enclosing a schedule for Board of Public \V orks and Safety meeting dates and agenda deadlines
for your use. Please use the Engineering Department deadlines for submissions to the Board.
AllY submission to the Board requires prior final approval by the Carnlel Clay Plan Comnlission
and/or the Board of Zoning Appeals alld conlpletion of review by the Technical Advisory
Conlnzittee. All written requests to be place on the Board's agenda "'llSt include the appropriate
Docket Nlll1zbers and the date (or dates) of approval bJ' the Plall Comnzissioll and/or BZA.
4. T AC Revie\vlDra\vings submitted for approval:
We request that all comments and comment letters generated by this office be ans\vered in writing and
be accompanied by a dra\ving reflecting requested revisions. Final dra\vings will not be approved for
construction until all issues have been resolved. The design engineer must certify all dra\vings
submitted for final approval. This pffice \vill require a minimum of three-sets (maximum of five-sets)

of approved dra\vings after all issues have been resolved. The drawings will be stamped approved and
signed by the City Engineer. The Developer/Owner will receive one-set which is to be maintained on
the construction site at all times. Our Construction Manager will receive one-set and one-set will be
maintained in the Department of Engineering. If more than the minimum of three-sets are requested to
be approved, the additional sets (maximum total of two additional) must be submitted with the three
required sets.
5. Please be advised that any installation of signs, walls, irrigation systems, etc. within dedicated right of
way will require Consent to Encroach approval.
6. I am including copies of the following with this correspondence:
. Performance and Maintenance Guarantees
. Commercial Project Approval Procedures.
. Building Permits
. Permit Data, Contacts, etc. .
. Commercial Permitting Procedures.
BONDING REQUIREMENTS
7. Upon initial review, it appears the following bonding requirements may apply to this project:
Performance GuaranteeslEngineer's Estimates
It does not appear that Performance Guarantees/Engineer's Estimates will be required for this project.
However, if this project is required to construct a public sidewalk or asphalt path in the Pennsylvania
Street right of way, these items would be required.
Street Cut/Right of Way Permit and Bonding Requirements
Any work in the dedicated right of way of Pennsylvania Street will require a Right of Way Permit. If
the work in the right of way is not included in the scope of work of a Performance Bond, a separate
License & Permit Bond will be required. The bond amount will be determined by the number of
instances of work in the right of way @ $2,000.00 per instance. Open pavement cuts in dedicated
streets require separate approval by our Board of Public Works and Safety. It appears at a minimum
that there is a water service line crossing, a storm sewer pipe crossing and the curb cut that would
require a Right of Way Permit and Bonding. Please contact our Right of Way Manager, Fred Glaser,
to arrange right of way permitting and right of way bonding.
8. We have engaged Crossroad Engineers to review all drainage plans and calculations for all projects
submitted to this office for review and approval. We will share all Crossroad reviews as they are
received. Even though only the Pennsylvania Street portion of this project is within corporate limits,
we request the submission of drainage calculations for review. If you have not already done so, please
send I-set of plans and drainage calculations for this project to:
Mr. Greg Ilko, PE
Crossroad Engineers, PC
3417 South Sherman Drive
Beech Grove, IN 46107
PROJECT COMMENTS-CONSTRUCTION PLANS
9. Please label the widths of all internal drives, drive aisles, alleys, and streets.
10. Please label the existing and proposed rights-of-way for Pennsylvania Street from the centerline of
Pennsylvania Street.
11. Please provide a 10-foot wide asphalt path per the Alternative Transportation Plan. Please include the
City of Carmel asphalt path detail in the plans.
12. ADA ramps will be required where the drive crosses the asphalt path.
13. Is the entrance an existing entrance? If it is proposed, the City requests making the north edge
