Carmel Plan Commission & Board of Zoning Appeals
RE: Carmel Plan Commission:
Docket No. 19050017 Z: Monon Crossing Townhomes Rezone R-1/Residential to UR/Urban Residential
Docket No. 19050018 DP/PP/ADLS: Monon Crossing Townhomes
Mr. Shestak:
I am writing on behalf of the Board of Directors of The Village on the Monon Homeowners Association,
Inc. (the "Association') to urge that the rezoning requested in Docket No. 19050017 Z be denied The
membership of the Association consists of nineteen single-family homeowners and our neighborhood is
located roughly 1,000 feet north of the proposed Monon Crossing development referenced above.
Previously, the Commission has received letters from Ed & Peggy Sweeney, Patrick Rondeau and Mike
Nickels expressing specific concerns related to the Monon Crossing rezoning request. Each of these letters
contains numerous arguments explaining why the request should be denied. I will not repeat the
thoughtful and detailed reasoning for denial as presented in those letters with this exception. The most
compelling reasons to deny the rezoning are that (i) both the density and appearance of the proposed
"townhome" development are dramatically inconsistent with the single-family homes which surround the
development site and (ii) the increased traffic on Rohrer Road will be detrimental to the area. The
Association's members are extremely concerned that the proposed development consisting of 10 large
buildings containing a total of 64 three-story townhomes will result in the devaluation of single-family
homes in the area.
The Board of Directors agrees with the objections raised in the letters noted above and, on behalf of the
members of the Association, requests that the rezoning be denied.
If you or the Commissioners need additional information or have any questions about our position on this
matter, please let me know. Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Village on the Monon Homeowners Association, Inc.
