While we oppose the Current Proposed PUD and would rather have public green space, we realize that our objections may get over-ruled by the commission. Considering that, we are respectfully requesting you consider the following compromise: 1. Please do not allow through traffic from PUD via Smokey Ridge Lane, which is currently a dead- end street. This proposed through-way will DECREASE SAFETY by increasing traffic. In addition, it will create more noise to our neighborhood and devalue our properties to potential buyers. One of the key factors in choosing our home 13 years ago was the privacy and quiet on our street. At this point, we have nine children living on this street with one home for sale. The youngest children are two and four years old and you would be putting them and their families into danger they did not expect to face. 2. Please do not cut the legacy trees down. These 100-yr-old legacy trees are a hallmark of this neighborhood comprising the natural and esthetic environment that was part of the initial draw and appeal for homeowners in Smokey Ridge. We enjoy it every night, as do our neighbors. We feel that there is and would be more than sufficient access for the PUD through the Keystone Roundabout. On a personal note we are closing in on 55 years old and we travel more than ever. 55+ age of the proposed residents in the proposed PUD does not ensure less traffic. We are just as active as we were 10 years ago if not more and all of our 55+ friends are the same. We do not believe the age of the residents has an impact on traffic and thus strongly oppose the through-way. Thank you for considering these factors in your decision and we appreciate you looking out for all of our families. Sincerely, Joanie and Scott Zigmond 3197 Smokey Ridge Lane Carmel IN 46033 (317-443-5982)
