PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT PRESENTATION #1 COUNCIL TO HEAR INTRODUCTORY INFORMATION CONCERNING A PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT ON APPROXIMATELY 124 ACRES NORTH OF AND ADJACENT TO STATE ROAD 32 AND SOUTH OF AND ADJACENT TO 181ST STREET, EAST OF PROMISE ROAD, TO BE KNOWN AS PARKS AT CROSSROADS (ATTORNEY JIM SHINAVER) Jon Dobosiewicz of Nelson & Frankenberger LLC at 550 Congressional Boulevard in Carmel, addressed the Council on behalf of Boomerang Development. Mr. Dobosiewicz displayed a map of the area. He stated the project would have for-sale mixed residential uses with approximately 354 homes. He stated the site would have centralized amenities, greenspace, three dog parks, a pool, common areas, and a pond on State Road 32 as a buffer. He stated the community has several home product types: townhomes, single-family dwellings, two-family paired villas, and large homesites. He stated the builder would be DR Horton. He stated there would be approximately 120 townhomes with an estimated price range of $300,000.00 - $375,000.00. He stated that townhouses would have alley-load garages. He stated that there would be approximately 66 two-family paired villas with an estimated price range of $325,000.00 to $400,000.00. He stated that there would be approximately 115 single-family that would offer two and three car garage variations with an estimated price range of $375,000.00 to $500,000.00. He stated there would be approximately 58 large homesites which would feature side-load garages at an estimated price range of $600,000.00 to $800,000.00. He stated a neighborhood meeting was scheduled for May 28. Mr. Thurston asked where the meeting would be held. Mr. Dobosiewicz replied it would be in one of the conference rooms at a hotel near Hamiton Town Center, but the exact location had not been determined. Mr. Johnson expressed concern about the density of the development. He stated since this development would be an eastern gateway to the City, homes visible from State Road 32 should reflect the character of Noblesville. Mr. Davis asked if the dead end townhome alleys would allow room for trash trucks to turn around. Mr. Dobosiewicz COMMON COUNCIL CITY OF NOBLESVILLE MAY 13, 2025, PAGE III replied those concerns had been presented by the Planning and Fire Departments, and they would be addressed. He stated the alleys would be 18 feet wide. Mr. Johnson stated a concern regarding access from State Road 32. Mr. Peterson asked if similar rental restrictions would be in place as they were for other recent developments. Mr. Dobosiewicz replied they would be included in their presentation to the Plan Commission. Mr. Boice expressed concerns about density and the ability of public safety to keep up with so much rapid growth. He asked the Council to move with caution concerning additional high density neighborhoods. Mr. Smith asked if visitor parking would be available for the townhomes. Mr. Dobosiewicz stated there were alleys for resident parking, and the streets in front of the townhomes would allow parking on both sides. Mr. Thurston agreed with Mr. Boice’s concerns about density, however he did like the duplex product and greenspace areas throughout the development rather than one large central area. Mr. Elliott asked if DR Horton had any developments in Hamilton County and had DR Horton done a development that large. Mr. Dobosiewicz replied this was the first DR Horton community of this type in the county. Mr. Smith stated he would like to see examples. Mr. Dobosiewicz replied he would send examples from Indianapolis to the Council. Mr. Peterson stated he would like to see if the Fire Department had questions or comments. Mr. Dobosiewicz stated he had received comments from the Fire Marshall earlier that day but had not had time to review them. Mr. Peterson asked how infrastructure challenges would be addressed. Mr. Dobosiewicz replied the developer was working with Boomerang development on the site to the south of this one, which would pull sanitary sewer from the interceptor near Stony Creek. He stated the mixed housing in the development would provide a chance to grow and change housing options without leaving the neighborhood. Ms. Wiles asked to see how this development would correlate to the potential development to the south. Mr. Dobosiewicz replied the products would somewhat mirror the products in the other development where they overlap. Ms. Wiles stated it was important to take both developments into consideration as they consider the proposal. Mr. Thurston asked if the development would be in the Noblesville school district. Mr. Dobosiewicz replied yes, it would. COUNCIL COMMENTS Mr. Peterson stated this weekend would be the Indiana Peony Festival. Mr. Johnson stated the Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) contractor selection process was almost complete for Lift Station 20. Mr. Thurston stated Eric Steger, a Noblesville resident and golf pro at Pebblebrook golf course, was competing in the US open. Mayor Jensen stated the closure at State Road 32 at Hague Road to complete a roundabout was the final piece of the Pleasant Street project. He stated State Road 32 would fully close in July and was estimated to reopen in early October. He stated the City was working with nearby homeowners’ associations and residents. Mayor Jensen stated a video announcing the closure had just been completed to reach as many people as possible. He stated detour routes had not yet been finalized. ADJOURNMENT There being no further business before the Common Council this 13th day of May 2025, Ms. Wiles adjourned the meeting. _________________________________ MEGAN WILES, PRESIDENT ATTEST: ___________________________________ EVELYN L.

WHEREAS, all full-time City employees receive formal performance evaluations on a routine basis in coordination with the Human Resources Department. WHEREAS, the City administration seeks to enhance the role of performance-based pay in the compensation for civilian employees. WHEREAS, a state-of-the-art performance management software is necessary to modernize the City’s performance management process, add comprehensive performance analytics, and expand reporting capabilities. WHEREAS, the 2025 Adopted Budget includes a $600,000 appropriation from the General Fund to the Non-Departmental budget to establish a contingency reserve which may be transferred to City departments to support eligible expenses. WHEREAS, $600,000 of that contingency reserve remains available. WHEREAS, this is a request to reallocate appropriation authority from the contingency reserve for a recurring purpose.
