Subject:Concerns on density of proposed Ambleside Point development in West Carmel
**** This is an EXTERNAL email. Please exercise caution and Do Not open attachments or click links from

Hi,
I am a resident of Saddle Creek subdivision, and wanted to share my concerns on the new proposed Ambleside Point
development (Docket no: PZ-2020-00069(PUD)).
While the development of Carmel is inevitable and welcome, the high density of homes is not in line with other
communities immediately around.
The proposed density will increase traffic in the streets within Saddle Creek subdivision, the traffic impact to
141 intersection of Autumn woods Dr and Beaument Blvd at peak times will affect current residents. Most of us,
unlike the new development have only these intersections to move in and out of the neighborhood. I am
assuming roads are created based on zoning, so it is evident current roads will be under strain with high density
development in the area.
Also limited green space of the development will cause residents to use our walking trails and open space. While
we love to share, it is not fair for a new community to come up with the expectation that they don’t need to
maintain such amenities. Keeping the community low density will help with maintaining required amenities for
the new community.
Also, the cost of the houses in the new development could affect resale values in our community. Saddle Creek
has existed for about 20 years and we would appreciate it if adjacent homes are of similar value, most of us
bought our homes with this expectation.
We, residents of Saddle Creek would appreciate it if the new development density is maintained at what it is currently
zoned for which would help maintain property values and green space with no strain on road congestion.
Thanks,
Bonnie Mathew
