Dear Mr. Bucher:
Provided with this letter is a slightly revised version of Chapter X
(thoroughfare plans) and a complete mock-up of the Comprehensive Plan
Poster. The following changes have been made since the last draft
submittal:
1. The format of Chapter X has been revised and exemplifies
final document format if shading and strike-outs are deleted.
2. Except for the thoroughfare plan, Chapter X tables and
exhibits are in final form, including screening and
photographic reproduction. The final thoroughfare plan is
currently "xerox quality" , reflecting the likelihood of at
least minor adjustments following Committee review.
3. Thoroughfare plan text and exhibits have been added to the
poster. These elements were not included in previous
submittals.
4. A section has been added to Chapter X (Section H) to address
transportation demand management. This has not been reviewed
by the Committee.
5. Minor changes have been made to Chapter X to address staff
and Steering Committee comments, and an annotated copy (with
strike-outs and shading) has been provided to the staff.
Greater emphasis is placed on the need for parallel collector
roadways along U.S. 31. Also, major north-south travel
alternatives are now referred to as "sketch plans" ,
consistent with their limited purpose. These are not
intended to be "draft thoroughfare plans" . They do not
address full system-wide needs.
The enclosed material completes the submittal of the draft report. We
have reviewed all written comments on the draft and have discussed
each comment individually with the staff. We hope this will allow the
June Committee Meeting to be most productive and will facilitate
completion of report documents during July.

Staff will be addressing all of the items in need of updating
exclusive of the Land Use and Thoroughfare Sections. HNTB will submit
the floppy disk to the staff for their use.
We would like to express our concern over the recent miscommunication
between HNTB, the staff and the Steering Committee with regard to the
present status of the amended document.
Our primary concern is to protect the interests of the City of Carmel
and provide a quality, finished document that outlines sound and
workable rcommendations for future land use and thoroughfare planning.
Subsequent to the delivery of the final document, we intend to be
available to the Steering Committee on a continuing basis to assist
with general strategies for implementation of our land use and
thoroughfare recommendations.
We look forward to our meeting with you on June 12th.
Sincerely,
HOWARD NEEDLES TAMMEN & BERGENDOFF
