Carmel City Council considers 270 homes near 126th Street, Auman Drive

0

The Carmel City Council will consider approving construction of 270 homes on 27.76 acres in a new development called Gramercy West. The project would be south of 126th Street and east of Auman Drive, near the Gramercy apartments.

Indianapolis-based Platinum Properties Management Co. LLC wants to build units that would sell for $300,000 to the mid-$400,000.

The Carmel Plan Commission voted 8-3 to give a favorable recommendation for the project before sending it to the city council.

City councilor Bruce Kimball, who represents the area, said he understands that people might be concerned about so many homes on only 30 acres of land, but he said the newly remodeled 126th Street is built to handle the additional traffic.

“This is actually less dense than the previous proposal about 10 years ago,” Kimball said. “It’s a different type of home, actually suburban-urban. I actually had a home like this in Los Angeles, and it was so popular there was a lottery to get in, so I’m very excited about this.”

The proposal includes a 6.2-acre common area, a swimming pool, playground and picnic area.

The planned unit development was sent to the council’s Land Use and Special Studies Committee, which next meets at 5 p.m. March 27 in the caucus room on the second floor of Carmel City Hall.
