My name is Adam Ehret and my wife Julia and I reside at 14350 Shelborne Road on 5.85 acres. Our
home and property is directly West of Albany Village and the paired patio portion of this proposed
neighborhood. My wife and I attended a meeting hosted by Steve Pittman held at the Ritz Charles and
listened to his proposal. While we enjoy this area in its current condition, we are also aware that this
area is also experiencing significant change. For one, 146th Street is being rebuilt into a limited access
thoroughfare. Second, a new mosque has been approved and will be built to our south at the corner of
141st and Shelborne Road. And last, the Carmel Parks Department just announced a new park which is
being planned on the land around us.
This has become a very desirable area and it is apparent that the Lamb property would participate in this
change. As I review the Albany Village proposal I believe that the developer has taken a very reasonable
approach as he has provided a transition from the lower density on the east side of the property to a
greater density on the west side of the property. In addition, the property has a pipeline easement
which creates challenges as the road system transitions to the west. The developer has created large
open spaces, a significant trail system, strong architectural commitments and has created significant
landscape buffering along Shelborne Road directly across the street from our residence.
I am also very appreciative that the developer has agreed to provide our property with a sanitary sewer
connection when he builds the sewer line to his property.
Steve Pittman and Pittman Partners has an excellent reputation, and I would recommend that you
approve his PUD zoning request.
Sincerely,
W. Adam Ehret
