We are property owners in Brentwood, the neighborhood SE of the
proposed development.
We are strongly opposed to the planned development on the NE
corner of Keystone and 136th Street. As you are aware the
roundabout in this area already requires a traffic light to regulate
traffic flow and exiting the Brentwood neighborhood is problematic
at almost any time of day often requiring a right turn to the
roundabout on Carey Road and 136th street. Even this right turn
requires a lengthy wait at busier times of day. The proposed
density of housing on this parcel of land will make the traffic
problem exponentially worse. Presumably the parcel of land on the
SE corner of Keystone and 136th will then also be re-zoned for high
density housing - again more traffic. This is so short sighted
and will have a negative impact on our property
values.
We fail to understand why every square inch of
land in Carmel must be developed and would not
be happy with any development on this land but
realize that that ship has sailed. We urge you
however, to reconsider the rezoning which would
1
allow such high density housing to be
developed. The actions of the council are steadily
changing the nature of Carmel and this change is
not for the better.
