Please exercise caution and Do Not open attachments or click links from unknown senders or unexpected email. **** Dear Joe, Trust you find this email well. I am a resident of Saddle Creek community and we are a family with young kids that love the outdoors. Recently we were notified that there is a proposed high density PUD (Ambleside) that has more than 285 lots north of Saddle Creek. There is apparently a zoning application to: (a) provide an entrance to this new community cutting through Saddle Creek (through junction of Beaument Blvd and Mustang Chase\[north of 141st st\]), and, (b) that the pond on the North side of Mustang Chase be merged with the pond belonging to the new development. While I do not necessary oppose the planned PUD - please consider this email as a strong opposition to the plans (a) and (b) for the following reasons: 1. Green space - There is already a severe lack of green space in the West side of Carmel and this will take away what is left, which is very important for myself, family and our community. 2. Traffic - If (a) is permitted, with 285 planned units, traffic flowing through our neighborhood will significantly increase, to the extent that it will start to be unsafe / noisy for pedestrians and kids enjoying outdoors. 3. Property value - Plans (a) and (b) will significantly reduce the property price in our neighborhood. We are also advised that the meeting called at Plan Commission, City hall on the evening of July 21st has limited capacity due to Covid/social distancing limitations. While my family or myself may not be able to attend this due to the above limitations, please consider this email as a firm opposition for the proposed items (a) and (b) above. I am hereby requesting the plan commission to reject (a) and (b) so that Saddle Creek retains its uniqueness and green space for us and future generations to bring up families and live in a serene community - while retaining the property values, for which we have paid huge premiums... 1 Regards, Shanthi Rangarao and Rakshata Shanthi Bhushan. 2
