That all the standards related to Secondary Plat approval listed in Sections 741-207 and 741-208 of the Consolidated Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance be met prior to recording the Final Plat. PETITION OVERVIEW SITE PLAN AND DESIGN The subject site is zoned C-7 and is currently undeveloped. Portions of the property to the west fall within the Floodway and Floodway Fringe due to proximity to Little Eagle Creek to the west. The proposed plat would subdivide the parcel to create two lots per the below plat: Lot 1 would be comprised of 7.849 acres, and Lot 2 would be 5.197 acres. The proposed plat would meet the standards of the C-7 zoning district, commitments associated with the rezoning petition 2025-ZON-102, and the subdivision regulations. STREETS Lot 2 would front on Merchants Drive (an existing private street) to the north and northeast. No new streets are proposed as a part of this plat. SIDEWALKS Sidewalks do not currently exist along Merchants Drive. When originally filed, this petition included a request for a waiver of sidewalk requirements. However, since Merchants is a private drive, placement of new sidewalk along the frontage would not be a requirement of the platting process.

No detached single-family dwellings shall be built on the individual lots. PETITION OVERVIEW SITE PLAN AND DESIGN This site is zoned D-8 and is developed with a two-family dwelling. The proposed plat would subdivide the property into two (2) lots. Lots 145(A) and 145(B) would each contain half of the two-family dwelling with the lot line following the common wall and continuing through to the rear of the lot. The subject site had been developed with a two-family dwelling since at least 1915 as shown on the historic Sanborn map below. That two-family dwelling was demolished in 2015, and the current two-family dwelling was recently constructed. This replat would allow the property owner to sell each of the parcels individually, rather than as one (1) parcel, with minimal impact on the surrounding property owners. STREETS Lots 145(A) and 145(B) would front on Guilford Avenue. No new streets are proposed as part of this petition. SIDEWALKS Sidewalks are existing along Guilford Avenue. PROCEDURE This plat petition, if approved, only legally establishes the division of land. In the event that the existing duplex were to be removed, any new structure would be required to meet all development standards of the D-8 Dwelling District, including, but not limited to, setbacks, minimum lot width and frontage, and minimum open space.

Department of Metropolitan Development Division of Planning Current Planning PLAT COMMITTEE April 8, 2026 Case Number: 2026-PLT-009 Property Address: 6120 East Thompson Road (Approximate Address) Location: Franklin Township, Council District #24 Petitioner: Thompson & Commerce Properties LLC, by Dennis D. Olmstead & Kenny Mitchell Zoning: D-6 / D-P Request: Approval of a Subdivision plat to be known as Franklin Corners subdivision, dividing 4.7 acres into twenty lots and one common area, with a waiver of the requirement for a 0.25-mile multipurpose path (0.176-mile path proposed). Waiver Requested: Multi-Purpose Path Length Staff Reviewer: Michael Weigel, Principal Planner I PETITION HISTORY This is the first public hearing for this petition. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Plat Committee approve and find that the plat, file-dated March 19, 2026, complies with the standards of the Subdivision regulations, subject to the following conditions: 1. That the applicant provides a bond, as required by Section 741-210, of the Consolidated Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance. 2. Subject to the Standards and Specifications of Citizens Energy Group, Sanitation Section. 3. Subject to the Standards and Specifications of the Department of Public Works, Drainage Section. 4. Subject to the Standards and Specifications of the Department of Public Works, Transportation Section. 5. That addresses and street names, as approved by the Department of Metropolitan Development, be affixed to the Final Plat prior to recording. 6. That the Enforcement Covenant (Section 741-701, of the Consolidated Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance) be affixed to the Final Plat prior to recording. 7. That the Site Distance Covenant (Section 741-702, of the Consolidated Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance) be affixed to the Final Plat prior to recording. 8. That the Sanitary Sewer Covenant (Section 741-704, of the Consolidated Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance) be affixed to the Final Plat prior to recording. 9. That the Storm Drainage Covenant (Section 741-703, of the Consolidated Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance) be affixed to the Final Plat prior to recording. 31 Item 7.

Department of Metropolitan Development Division of Planning Current Planning 10. That all the standards related to Secondary Plat approval listed in Sections 741-207 and 741-208 of the Consolidated Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance be met prior to recording the Final Plat. 11. That the traffic control and natural infrastructure plan be provided with the final plat prior to recording. 12. That the requested waiver to allow for a multi-use path with a length of 0.176 miles be granted. PETITION OVERVIEW SITE PLAN AND DESIGN The subject site was recently rezoned to the D-6 designation via the petition 2025-ZON-002 to allow for residential uses. The proposed plat would divide the subject 4.7 acres into twenty lots and one (1) common area per the below document within Exhibits. The proposed plat would meet the standards of the D-6 zoning district, commitments associated with the rezoning petition, and the subdivision regulations, except for the requested waiver related to the length of the multi-use path. STREETS The proposed plat area borders Arlington Avenue to the west, and approval of the plat would result in the creation of the new street Franklin Corner Drive. Each of the 20 proposed lots would front on and be accessed from Franklin Corner Drive. Sidewalks would be required and are proposed both along Arlington Avenue and internally along Franklin Corner Drive. SIDEWALKS Sidewalks would be required and are proposed both along Arlington Avenue and internally along Franklin Corner Drive. WAIVER Since the proposed replat would involve the creation of 20 or more residential lots, compliance with standards for open space amenities (Table 741-310 of the Ordinance) would be required. The petitioner has elected to install a multi-purpose path around the development that would connect to proposed sidewalks with a length of 0.176 miles. Placement of a multi-use path would meet the Ordinance requirement; however, the minimum length of such a path would be 0.25 miles. Findings provided by the applicant note that the size and configuration of the lots on the subject 4.7 acres (as well as the need to place drainage and retention facilities) would create difficulty in placing a path with the full length required, and the proposed amenity would approximate the standard from the Ordinance. Staff agrees that the proposed 927 feet of asphalt path would constitute 70% of the length required and that this would not be a substantial deviation from Ordinance intent. Staff recommends approval of the waiver request to allow for a multi-purpose path with deficient length. 32 Item 7.
