Attorney John Davoshewicz, representing Edward Rose, said the petitioner has submitted text and exhibits addressing staff comments including architectural character text tied to illustrative exhibits, a sidewalks and paths exhibit showing five‑foot sidewalks and 10‑foot paths, and an enlarged tree preservation area increased from 1.5 acres to 2 acres. Davoshewicz also said the developer agreed to require the long‑term bicycle parking recommended by staff rather than treating it as encouragement.

On pedestrian safety, the petitioner said it will pursue a signalized pedestrian crosswalk across Michigan Road at either 90th Street or at Retail Parkway, and will coordinate applications and sequencing with the state and the city. “Jeremy said he would be supportive of an additional crosswalk to be constructed at one of those two locations,” Davoshewicz said, referring to the city’s Chief Infrastructure Officer. The developer said it will either be the applicant to the State of Indiana for that crossing or support the city’s application.

Petitioners told the committee they are not proposing to include subsidized or federally regulated affordable housing units in the development. “Edward Rose isn't proposing to include any, thing from an affordable, federally regulated standpoint,” Davoshewicz said. He added the company manages market‑rate multifamily and is not seeking municipal subsidy for below‑market units.

Staff told the committee the petitioner addressed many comments and submitted additional materials but that staff remains in technical review on architectural standards, boulevard cross‑sections and the retail layout. Staff recommended the committee discuss the design direction and then forward the item to the next committee meeting in May so remaining ordinance text and exhibits can be finalized.

Trampus Martin of Addibus LLC, representing Jackie’s Gourmet Catering, told the committee he and his design team had revised the building exterior, added landscaping, reconfigured the parking and provided temporary access easement sketches to connect to neighboring parcels. Planning staff and engineering said additional documentation remains outstanding — notably a stormwater/drainage memo, photometric lighting details and recorded commitments that trucks will not be parked overnight in public parking areas — but that the petitioner has made progress and can resolve items before the next commission meeting.

Martin described a proposed exterior palette and site plan updates: a new cooler/storage enclosure at the building rear, roof‑mounted mechanical screening, relocated employee/van parking to the rear and additional landscaping on the west lot. He confirmed the building interior will house offices and a separate kitchen area; the kitchen and cooler will sit across the width of the rear of the building.

Planning staff told the committee they had reviewed recent submittals and approved the landscape plan, but they remain concerned about photometric lighting details and the documented easement/agreement for a future 50‑foot access corridor to the north. On truck and van parking, Martin said Jackie provided a written commitment not to store catering vehicles overnight in the customer parking area and that trucks and vans would be parked behind the building or on a designated west lot at night.

On the Board of Zoning Appeals schedule, the petitioner confirmed the parking variance hearing is set for April 28. The committee’s motion made approval of the ADLS amendment contingent on resolution of outstanding project documentation and on necessary BZA action.

The developer, represented by attorney John Davoshewicz of Nelson Frankenberger and Eric Dirks of Buckingham Companies, told the committee the petitioner had followed up with neighbors and staff, repaired storm-damaged landscaping and supplied revised building elevations, lighting plans and a plan for bicycle parking. Planning staff recommended the favorable referral after reviewing the additional submittals.

Staff said the amended materials align the architecture of four existing apartment buildings with newly proposed townhome buildings and meet the PUD requirements. The petitioner showed added masonry and color variation on the proposed three‑story buildings and a site lighting diagram that addresses an amenity‑building mural area. Buckingham also provided a distributed long‑term bicycle parking plan and a bicycle garage converted from a leasable garage bay.

John Davoshewicz said the petitioner had reached out repeatedly to a neighbor who raised concerns at the February public hearing and had taken action on several items. “One of which…was a tree that had fallen over… and that was taken care of about a week after the plan commission had met last,” Davoshewicz said. Eric Dirks added that replacement trees had already been planted: “We actually planted those 27 trees last fall. So we're actually waiting for those to leaf out and see if they've survived the winter.”

Department staff confirmed that architectural review comments — including masonry, soldier‑course brick headers and gutter/downspout color revisions — had been addressed, and that engineering had requested native‑planting signage and limits on mowing/spraying in preserved areas. On bicycle parking, the petitioner reported meeting with staff and the city’s alternative transportation coordinator and agreed to provide 67 long‑term bicycle parking spaces on the site; staff noted the UDO encourages up to 267 spaces for a development of this scale.

Neighbors had also raised concerns about street lights, sidewalk low spots along Almond Drive and damaged curbs. Davoshewicz and Buckingham said sitesuperintendents would inspect sidewalks and curbs and coordinate repairs with engineering prior to performance bond release. On lighting, Dirks said special‑order parts were in hand and powder‑coated to match fixtures, and repairs were “imminent” within a week or two.

Dan Moriarty of the petitioner’s design team presented updated elevations and material changes for the Old Town townhomes and for Viva Benet’s multifamily building, including reduced use of EIFS in favor of lap siding and consistent window headers and base materials. Viva Benet development partners said they expect to meet or exceed green‑building standards used for multifamily projects and that elevated landscape and screening treatments will be provided for exposed garage facades.

On the Monon Trail connection and the proposed trailhead, Old Town and Viva Benet representatives said they are coordinating with Carmel Clay Parks. Justin Moffat (Old Town) said Parks will have the final say on detailed trailhead design and the petitioner expects to use a combination of graded mounding and planting to screen the parking and US‑31 from Monon Trail users. “One of the goals was to provide additional screening and landscaping and mounding to again, hide the parking, but also hide US 31,” Moffat said. The petitioner showed a concept trailhead with a small gathering overlook, a fitness‑equipment area and connections into the project’s internal sidewalks and the Monon Trail.

Staff told the committee the petitioner supplied a number of new project‑docs responses, but planners need time to review the uploads and follow up on wetland waiver items and landscape details along US‑31. Staff also asked for additional specificity on garage screening materials and for a finalized photometric lighting plan; the petitioner said cut sheets and a full photometric will be uploaded as part of the next submittal.

On parking, the petitioner reiterated prior approvals and noted that some urban‑residential variances were requested because of the site’s geometry and a small portion that touches the Monon overlay; the petitioner requested variances for setback, building footprint limits and parking counts consistent with prior North End approvals. Petitioner representatives confirmed they are committed to building a public trail connection and community‑oriented stormwater and BMP features required under previously adopted proof and parks agreements.
