Hello,
I am writing to show my support of the Unified Development Ordinance amendment that if approved will require a 500
foot
public health safety zone between new gas stations and residential homes, senior care facilities, and schools.
It is shocking to me that Carmel has set its standards for the public safety zone at 80 feet, which is less than the 300
feet required in the Unincorporated areas of Hamilton country.
I am very concerned about benzene exposure from close proximity to gas stations. Here in Indiana, our gas pumps do
not have fail safe mechanisms to prevent gas spillage from the nozzles. Our “protection” is distance.
Please vote in favor of the amendment to the UDO to require 500 feet between gas stations and homes, schools, and
senior facilities.
Thank you.
