HomeMy WebLinkAboutLetter from 12267 Creekwood Ln i April 7, 1994 Ms. Ramona Hancock Secretary, Plan Commission One Civic Square Carmel, IN 46032 Dear Ms. Hancock : Eight months ago we moved into a home on the corner of Springmill Road and Creekwood Lane because we wanted a larger lot, more privacy and mature trees. Two weeks ago, to our horror, we watched as bulldozers uprooted every tree in the small woods adjacent to our property. Our phone calls to City Hall were the start of our civics lesson and has prompted us to appeal to you. Enclosed is the plat of the new subdivision being developed by the Bottemiller brothers that was approved by you last summer. I have circled the wooded area that has been destroyed. Doesn't this plat indicate that the wooded area was intended to be part of the finished subdivision? Did the attorney indicate to you that the developers would preserve these woods? I have enclosed a picture of the view of the woods now. It makes us sick to look out our windows! We read in the paper about the proposed Tree Conservation Ordinance and that the developers don't think it is necessary because they "are doing such a good job in Carmel" and that all developers know that "it is not in the economic best interests of a residential developer to destroy trees." Our experience tells us that this is bunk! Its too late for'our'trees and our property isn't worth as much as it was three weeks ago. Please, for the sake of all of the other Carmel residents, do something to stop this disregard for the most beautiful, cost effective, natural landscaping there is, and demand responsible development. If the Tree Conservation Ordinance will solve this problem, we urge you to adopt it. Existing trees add value to lots, homes, new developments and existing homes. The Planning Commission needs to step up and take an environmentally responsible position. The long range benefits of the Tree Conservation Ordinance will more than outweigh any short term opposition . (j(S. cerely, Michelle M.
