Pedro and Sara Larco write the Carmel Plan Commission to oppose items in the new development called "Ambleside
Point PUD" Docket No. PZ-2020-00069. We are Saddle Creek Community residents.
The following items we oppose:
1. Rezoning the new development "Ambleside Point PUD" Docket No. PZ-2020-00069 (PUD)" into a high-density
development which includes townhomes. The S-1 zoning for residential homes should not change.
Allowing for this high-density development would have a material impact on the Saddle Creek Community in the
following ways:
A.The value of the properties in the Saddle Creek Community would decrease in value or not appreciate at the same
rate.
B.Crime in the community would increase with the density being so low of the new development. There is not enough
room for all people to live safely.
C.Amenities maintained and paid for by Saddle Creek Community residents including fishing ponds, basketball courts,
green spaces, walking trails, and playgrounds would be used by the Ambleside Point residents as there is not enough
space for them to have their own amenities.
2. Converting Saddle Creek Community large green space into a road at Beaument Blvd and Mustang Chase to allow for
entry and exit into the new development.

Allowing for this new road would have a material impact on the Saddle Creek Community in the following ways:
A.The Saddle Creek Community common green space is being used by Saddle Creek Community children for over 15
years. They play football, soccer, and tag in the green space as it's large enough to have multiple families play games.
It’s a safe place for the children to get outside and play their favorite sports. If this is converted to a road, children will
not have a place to play locally and will stay inside more.
B.There is no road there today and the large green space is maintained and improved by the Saddle Creek Community.
C.The volume of traffic from the new development through Beaument Blvd street will be a safety hazard for the children
and adults in the Saddle Creek Community. This will become a key entry and exit for people living in Ambleside PUD
commuting south and will have excessive traffic.
D.Removing the beautiful natural trees to allow for the road will eliminate the privacy Saddle Creek Community
homeowners enjoy today. This will be a significate change in privacy for current homeowners.
E.When it rains the water from Saddle Creek Community pond overflows on the surface and runs down to the next
pond. If the green space is converted to a paved road, this will make it harder for the water to get absorbed and will
lead to flooding as the road will block the natural flow of the water. This will flood Saddle Creek Community homes.
Please bring these objections to the City of Carmel Plan Commission board for the meeting on the 21st day of July 2020.
Thank You,
