He was joined by Chris Horsley and Boyd Zacolla of Zionsville Medical Office Building Investors as well as Ashton Fritz (site engineer). It was mentioned that the matter had previously been heard by the Board of Zoning Appeals and also was the subject of a pending secondary plat currently on file with the Town. Jeff Jacob outlined that the 2.4-acre site is the Bennett Technology Park is proposing a 12,000 square foot medical clinic and anticipates an expansion, however any expansion would require an approval of the Plan Commission at a future meeting. Mr. Jacob presented various sets of plans which comply with the Town’s ordinance, inclusive of a Type B landscaping plan along three of the four sides of the building. It is indicated that in the event that compliance was not met, the petitioner would seek relief from those standards. Specific to the project at hand, the developer is seeking a waiver from the architectural standards related to the Zionsville Theme.

Mr. Jacob offered that the building has secured state release and acknowledged that any future additions may result in changes to the locations of the doors. Boyd Zacolla offered to the Plan Commission that yes, it is likely that a future tenant in the contemplated addition space would desire a second door. Larry Jones questioned the timing of the contemplated addition and the status of the “place holder” illustrated on the submitted drawings. Mr. Jacob offered assurances that the “place holder” is merely a representation and does not circumvent any future requirement to present the matter to the Plan Commission.
