Good morning, as a Carmel resident, taxpayer, and Registered Nurse, I am asking for your support in voting for the
Carmel UDO Amendment increasing the public health safety zone to 500 feet, from the current 80 feet, when it is
presented for a vote on May 18, 2021 at a City Council Meeting.
I am asking for this change in order to protect all persons that are or will be living, working in and/or using any building
(i.e. schools, senior care facilities etc.) within 500 feet of any underground gasoline storage tanks which are found at all
gasoline stations.
Medical studies and reports have shown that exposure to the Benzene gas that accompanies the use of these storage
tanks in the repetitive filling of automobiles can lead to undesirable cancers of multiple types (lung, blood, multiple
myeloma as well as leukemia) in both adults and children alike. These diseases will, and do, have a definite impact on
the quality of life of Carmel residents, employees, and visitors alike!
Thank you for a YES vote on May 18, 2021.
Best regards,
