Joe-
Please pass along my letter to all who will be voting in regards to the upcoming UDO vote.
As a long term Carmel resident, taxpayer, and a mother of two small children, 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 currently 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 have a definite impact on the quality of
life of everyone including Carmel residents, employees, and visitors alike!
Please, vote YES vote on May 18, 2021.
Best,
Stephanie Quinto
