EXECUTION OF DOCUMENTS I Mayor Brainard adjourned the meeting at 8: 12 p.m. ADJOURNMENT R~~"d I ,IAMC 07/17/06 CC Minutes 4 :\ MAYOR, MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL. MY NAME IS DAVID SHANKS, I RESIDE AT 740 INDIAN TRAILS DRIVE, CARMEL. I AM HERE ON A PERSONAL CRUSADE, HOWEVER I BELIEVE I CAN SPEAK FOR THE THOUSANDS OF VETERANS LIVING IN CARMEL AND CLAY TOWNSHIP. MY CRUSADE IS FOR THE CITY OF CARMEL TO FLY THE AMERICAN FLAG ON OUR STREET LIGHTS 24 HOURS A DAY, AS LONG AS WE HAVE OUR ARMY, NAVY, MARINES, AIR FORCE, COAST GUARD, MERCHANT MARINE "IN HARMS WAY". YOU MAY NOT AGREE WITH THE REASONS THEY ARE WHERE THEY ARE, BUT WE SHOULD SUPPORT THEM REGARDLESS. I HAVE DISCUSSED THIS ON PREVIOUS OCCASIONS WITH THE MAYOR AND ALSO WITH A FORMER MEMBER OF THE COUNCIL, WITHOUT SUCCESS. I WAS TOLD A COUPLE OF TIMES THAT THE FIRE DEPT. TOOK CARE OF THE FLAGS, BUT I THOUGHT THAT IF THE MAYOR REALLY WANTED TO HE COULD HAVE CALLED ACROSS THE CIRCLE AND SAID "CHIEF, LET'S LEAVE THE FLAGS UP" AND THEY PROBABLY WOULD. I WAS ALSO TOLD BY A FORMER COUNCILMAN THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO BE CHANGED APPROXIMATELY EVERY 60 DAYS OR 6 TIMES A YEAR. I TOLD BOTH THE MAYOR R TTAct+mc:t<,rl I (, J Coune;) /YI~ 7 / /I / Of" : AND THE COUNCILMAN THAT IF THE CITY COULD NOT AFFORD THE COST TO LET ME KNOW, AND I THOUGHT I COULD RAISE THE MONEY. ONE TIME THE MAYOR SAID, "I THINK THE CITY COULD PROBABLY AFFORD THE COST". I THINK A FLAG ON EACH LIGHT WOULD BE TOO MUCH. A FLAG ON EVERY OTHER LIGHT STAGGERED ON THE OPPOSITE SIDES OF THE STREET WOULD LOOK MUCH BETTER. I HAVE WATCHED THE CITY BEAUTIFICATION PROGRAM WITH A WE AND AMAZEMENT, HANGING BASKETS ON THE LIGHT POSTS, BRONZE STATUARY, OVERHEAD WELCOME SIGNS FOR THE" ART DISTRICT (2 UP 2 TO GO)", REFLECTING POOL WITH FOUNTAIN, THE VETERNS MEMORIAL, AND I'M SURE I HAVE ONLY TOUCHED ON A FEW THINGS, IT ALL LOOKS VERY GOOD AND CARMEL CAN BE PROUD. I CHECKED WITH THE FIRE DEPARTMENT AND THEY CURRENTLY HAVE 44 FLAGS ON POLES AND 13 POLES WITHOUT FLAGS. THERE WERE PROBABLY 60 UNITS TO BEGIN WITH. I WOULD PERSONAL Y LIKE TO SEE FLAGS ON RANGELINE RD. FROM 116TH NORTH TO 8TH STREET, MAIN STREET FROM THE LmRARY WEST TO THE MONON TRAIL, CITY CENTER DRIVE FROM RANGELlNE CcJunG; I M+r I/n/o<" r+ TTRCH fY1 E1JI I (2-) RD. WEST TO WEST END OF AMLI APTS., CARMEL DR. FROM KEYSTONE WEST TO 3RD AVE SW., AND ALONG 116TH FROM KEYSTONE WEST TO RANGELlNE RD. USING SEVERAL CRITERIA FOR PLACEMENT I HAVE FIGURED IT WOULD REQUIRE 120 UNITS TO DO THIS. THIS WOULD BE MY IDEAL DESIRE, HOWEVER; I WOULD BE HAPPY TO ACCEPT FLYING THE 60 UNITS WE CURRENTL Y HAVE ON A 24/7 BASIS. I HAVE RESEARCHED FLAGS AND HAVE LOCATED A COMPANY THAT HAS A FLAG IT WARRANTS FOR 6 MO. AGAINST FADING OR BECOMING WORN OUT, THEY WILL REPLACE IT ONE TIME. I WOULD LIKE TO PRESENT A COST COMPARISON BETWEEN HANGING BASKETS OVER A 3 MONTH PERIOD, AND 60 FLAGS OVER A YEAR. SEE ATTACHED COMPARISON; I THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME, AND WOULD LIKE TO THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR FAVORABLE RESPONSE, WITH FUNDING AS A PREVIOUSLY UN-FUNDED BUDGET ITEM FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE YEAR 2006, AND A RESOLUTION TO INCLUDE FUNDING IN THE BUDGET FOR THE YEAR 2007, AND IN FUTURE YEARS.

The concerns of these neighborhoods are as follows: I. This project should precede contingent on the access on Keystone and the access on Carmel Drive to be open and functioning before new construction begins. The existing apartments can be tom down and rebuilt until these openings are in place. The openings on 126th Street should be open and the improvements made before ether of the two cuts are made onto Auman East. 2. Clear language used in section 4.l.B of the ordinance indicating that the northern and southernmost cut has been removed from the proposal and the connection to Shoshone has clearly been eliminated. 3. The Schedule of uses (I have attached a copy followed by definitions in the same order as the schedule.) to be altered to have the uses that I have circled located o'nly in the southeastern quadrant of this project due to the traffic, noise and non-residential nature of the use. Any use with a line drawn through eliminated. We ask that you do not duplicate some of the uses that are going in at the City Center. We would like to see that the market could support these items in both locations before it is built in this area. 4. Safety upgrades made to protect the pedestrians in the Auman and Newark additions. Side walks on Auman East, Auman West, Oswego and other roads as necessary to protect the walking lifestyle we enjoy. 5. The transitional area between Auman addition and the proposed Gramercy project should be a green space of 100' - ISO' with a north south road on the Gramercy side that uses the two middle cuts to open onto Auman East. This would buffer the height and density from our neighborhoods and serve to calm traffic. This green space is of adequate size that it could be redeveloped at a later date to contain residential uses. 6. The building heights should be more in keeping with this area. The tallest building height on Keystone is in B-B at SO'. It is our wish that the building heights be 25-30' in the transitional area on the north and west property line as indicated in orange. . What is now depicted as 45' and 65' be limited to 45' and the central area and southeast comer be 45' with a 65' tower. This will help contain the density, traffic and be a drastic change from the current yet not so imposing on the long term low-density residential neighborhoods that border on three sides. I do not believe that neighborhoods such as ours need to die young in the name of increasing the tax base. I think there is a time that you have to decide a little more in taxes and safety and security in the underlying zoning. Respectfully, Angela Molt Representing Auman and Newark Additions. ~T1ACHIY\EN1 L. rr) Coo.ne; I m11 7/17/06> Exhibit ''P' - Schedule of Permitted Uses Version 5 ~o ~ _ P= Pennitted,"Blank"= Prohibited, . - SU = Special Use . rea A Area B Area C mestaentlal uses lSi'naie"Fa Dwellln p p P Two FamilY Dwell! p p p Multiole Famil Dwellln 1 p P P Detached Dwellin p p P Accessory Dwellin p p p Attached Dwelling p p p Home Occupation p p P Bed & Breakfast Inn p Model Home p p p Guest House p p Board!n or Lodgin House p Nursin~/RetirementJConvalescent Faci!" ..P } Private Swimming Pool, ete p p LivelWork Dwellin p .

We will hold a neighborhood meeting within a short time after the City Council meeting to discus were we are and what we need to do next. I would like to avoid the expense of a meeting room so we may meet at a pitch-in in our back yard or at a park. The meeting will be necessary and will need to be attended by everyone. If you are elderly or disabled and need transportation we will provide a phone number to call if a neighbor cannot bring you. This is the time to stick together. We do not want to allow a "divide and conquer". Current Neighborhood Issues: We have had two businesses buy/move into our neighborhoods. This is not allowed without a variance applied for and issued. The 2 properties on surrounding . the site of the business would be notified and be given a chance to speak for or against the business going in. The Business at 710 West Auman Drive was vacated the first week of July. It will now be a rental property. The Business at 130 Napannee was ordered to remove the partitions, and stop practicing until they moved into the residence full time. The cuts onto Auman East have been an issue. The City has verbally eliminated the northern most and southern most cuts. We know that this can change if at a later date they deem it necessary to "connect". With it listed in the PUD, which it currently Is not (section 4.1.B), there is hope we can hold them to il. We will continue to work on this. There is no guarantee in writing they will not open up. For now it keeps, as Leo said, the connection to Shoshone from being a racetrack. We still need to push to protect our walk-able community. We do not want this project to go in at the expense of our neighborhoods. We do not want to have to "drive to Gramercy to walk". For Clarification: You can have a home officeJoccupation as long as you live in the home and: 1} Only 15 % or less of the home is used for the business 2} The only employees would be immediate family members who live in the home 3} It CAN draw clients to the neighborhood. Doctors, lawyers;tax people, photographers, and beauticians...those are just some examples of professions that are allowed as a.home occupation. Most, if not all of these, have scheduled appointments. No walk-in custol'Ders. 4} Almost anyone can find the most innocuous home occupation as a nuisance, but it is up to an employee of the city designated to do this to try to determine IF said business really falls within the definition and parameters of a public nuisance. Please keep your eyes open. I think this will happen more and more as the surrounding areas change. Please report this by calling Kevin Brennan at 571-2444 or email at kbrennan@carmel.in.gov. Please send a copy to me at amoltiWindv.rr.com or call 844-1799. The Proposed Updated Comprehensive Plan: C3 Plan The meeting for the review and public input for this plan is on July 18'" at 4:30pm. It is imperative that you attend and give input or email (Ramona Hancock, Plan Commission Secretary, rhancocktlilcarmel.in.Qov) your input to the Carmel Plan Commission for consideration. This plan shows our neighborhoods "urbanized" and with a mass transit route. It is important that you read the 92 pages of easy reading and respond.

We are not old enough to be protected by being listed as an historical neighbor-hood but being to young to "die". In summary, we have been working on this since we heard about it in January. It is now seven months into talks and it was stated at the conclusion of CPC Special Studies meetings that "politics has entered into this and we have gone as far as we can go here." The CPC is made up of appointed officials and the City Council is made up of elected officials. I'm assuming that this is where we address the pOlitical nature of this. The Mayor has said, "if it is not good for the nE!ighborhood a project will not go in". Irs not looking good for many neighborhoods yet it is plowing forward. What happens at the City Council Meeting on Monday will detennine what direction we need to take. I am afraid that if we wait too long it will be too late for an attomey to be able to do a good job. I have said all along that when I am no longer effective it will be time to hire the skills we need. .'.....~ JOHN F.

Generally our residents support Gramercy but not in its present form. It is my position that Gramercy would be supported by a majority of our residents if and only if: 1. There is only one proposed exit from Gramercy extending south in their submission to the Council. Gramercy has previously represented that two exits are sought. Each of those exits must be opened before any construction begins. The PUD before you permits up to 50% development before southern ingress/egress'is required. The 50% development could convert to 1,000 building permits which could build this project fully without southern ingress/egress. This is completely unsatisfactory. 2. Construction traffic must never be permitted onto 126th Street. If this project cannot be completed without imposing unmanageable traffic onto 126th Street, the project should not take place. 3. There are four proposeq entrances from Gramercy onto 126th Street; this is absurd: that is one entrance every 494 feet what will be one of the busiest streets in Carmel. Gramercy trying to attract traffic onto 126th Street which should not permitted. There should be no more than two permanent entrances/exits. 4. Enclave residents and particularly those who are elderly will not be able to turn left onto 126th Street from the Enclave (1) because of excessive east-west traffic on l26th Street and (2) a proposed median down the middle of 126th Street will permit traffic to turn left into Gramercy and left into the Enclave but not left from the Enclave onto l26th Street. onto is be ATTfl Cf-I m GNT 3 (.) &u.nc; / In ft. 7/11/0(" 5. The PUD itself must contain a firm schedule as to the complete elimination of the Mohawk Hill Apartment buildings. The main reason that neighbors are considering redevelopment of the Mohawk area is so that these apartments will be eliminated. There must be ratio set out in the PUD between the building of new units and the tearing down of the present units. 6. Many uses set forth by Gramercy are not consistent with an 'empty nester' and 'young professional' community as promised by Gramercy. Why are schools, helicopter pads, and funeral homes permitted? Is Gramercy going to advertise to the 'empty nesters' that their neighbors will be schools, funeral homes and a helicopter pad? Prospective residents should be aware of this. 7. 80/100 foot buildings are too high and are completely inconsistent with the present Comprehensive Plan, the adjacent neighborhoods, the 2020 Plan and the C3-Plan. Buildings must be limited to four stories at the most. No more than four stories are permitted in the present Comprehensive Plan and are prohibited by the other factors set forth above. For your reference, enclosed are: 1. Redline marked copies of Gramercy's Exhibit 'F' which set out which uses should not be permitted in an 'empty nester' community. 2. An amended copy of an earlier submission made by me which. more fully sets out objections. Re,peo~ed' John Sullivan 4771JCl/metJr .3 6-J ~nCI' I rn-fr 7/17 JDy- Exhibit up .

The following are the main points in my arguments against Gramercy in the latest pud. The arguments are presented in no particular order. No. 1 - I do want you to understand that Enclave residents do like the project because it would eliminate the apartments and the problems emanating from the apartments. However, there is not one provision in the pud that requires that even one building of the present Mohawk Hill Apartments be torn down under any circumstances. The pud must contain a provision that requires that the buildings be torn down and if they are not torn down, that they forfeit a bond so that the City must tear down the old buildings. There must be a ratio of new bui~dings bui~t to present apartments torn down in the PUD i tse~f. No. 2 - Building heights throughout Gramercy should be no more than three or four floors with the possible exception of the clock tower in the south central part of the project. To permit 65 foot high buildings on Keystone would be to permit the project to appear as a walled city. No. 3 - It will be impossible for elderly Enclave turn left onto 126th Street to access Keystone. I and I am one of the younger head of households in residents to am 68 years old the Enclave. 471 itCH mclJ/ 3 [5") {};unc,'j mif 7/17 /lJ(' No. 4'- 126th Street will not permit the extraordlnary traffic generated from Gramercy and City Center. Any widening of 126th Street may take place years into the future, if at all. The transition from now until the Gramercy project is completed in 12 years will be unbearable for all Enclave and neighborhood residents who abut 126th Street. Access from the Enc2ave east to Keystone may a2so b~ prevented by construction of Keystone as we22 as a median on 126th Street which may be designed to prevent a 2eft hand turn onto 126th Street. No. 5 - The City of Carmel has presented no traffic plan at all. The only traffic plan has been submitted by the engineering firm retained by Gramercy. This not only looks terrible; it is terrible. The traffic plan does not take into consideration traffic heading north on Keystone and then turning west onto 126th Street. Today at 3:30 PM, I was on North Keystone and stopped almost at 116th Street waiting for westbound traffic to turn west onto Carmel Drive. We will have two bottlenecks, the first at Carmel Drive and the second at 126th Street. No.6-Either the proposed Keystone exit from Gramercy or the proposed exit/entrance through the Fountains must be useab1e prior to the beginning of any construction at Gramercy. To ask neighbors to live through this mess is unforgivable on the part of the City Administration. This request is a 'dea2 breaker insofar as Enc2ave residents are concerned'. No. 7 - The present pud permits administrative planning of Gramercy if it involves less than 10% of the total project. I will submit to you that every request to plan this project will not exceed 10% so that the project will be completed without Gramercy ever having to submit anything ever again to the Carmel Plan Commission. This is very good for Gramercy; very bad for the neighbors. No. 8 - The rules of the Carmel Plan Commission require that the CPC require that the project be specific in its findings. They have not required this of Gramercy and apparently do not intend to do so. Gramercy even volunteered to change their request to a zoning request at one of the latest CPC meetings (the one where you had to leave early) and the CPC ignored their request. Regardless of the form presented, this request by Gramercy is a f/-TTAcfI m FtJ} 3 (c.) CDunc,' J JVI-ft 7/1710(" request to rezone MOhawk Hills and should be treated by the Council and CPC as such. No. 9 - The pud supersedes other Carmel City Ordinances in that where there is a conflict, the Gramercy pud prevails. City Ordinances should prevail. No. 10 - This project is in the middle of the City of Carmel. Gramercy contacted the Carmel Clay School Board and represented to them that this project was intended to be used by "empty nesters". They then ask permission in their pud to have schools - schools mean school buses which stop to let on and let off passengers further tying up 126th Street. Gramercy also wants permission to have a funeral home and helicopter pad. ~~ of these uses must be stricken. No. 11 - Everyone of the residents of the Enclave have asked that the present entrance of Mohawk Apartments be moved west 100 to 200 feet to permit Enclave residents to make their left turn onto 126th Street. There should be a round-a-bout 100 to 200 feet west in the event that the entrance is not moved so that our residents may turn left onto 126th Street. No. 12 - The heights of buildings is controlled by "rows" in Gramercy's pud. The first row is 35 feet in height; the second is 50 feet in height. Rather than stating the distance from Auman and 126th street in rows, the distance shou:Ld be stated in feet (we suggest that commercia~ use cannot begin before 500 feet from the pr~erty ~ines on 126th Street). This will prevent the extreme concentration of buildings in the project. No. 13 - Gramercy has stated that retail and office will constitute not more than 150,000 square feet of the project. Not included in the 150,000 square feet are boarding or lodging houses, bed and breakfast places, educational uses, recreation facilities, commercial parking lots and wholesale businesses. No. 14 - Gramercy has verbally represented that 90% of the project will be residential. There other statements that belie that. No. and set 15 - Gramercy presented a new later presented amendments. of materials was presented. set of materials on June 6, 2006 Then on June 20, 2006, another Gramercy should be prevented from An-f1(:H mEN! 3 (7 J Cou (Ie,'} m-fo- 7)J7 /01" presenting this material piecemeal. No.. 16 - The Enclave is a suburban area presently and under the proposed Comprehensive Plan. Heights in excess of four stories cannot therefore be permitted in Gramercy. It is ~ understanding that this PUD was submitted under the existing Comprehensive P~an; a new submission is required if Gramercy asks that this submission be under the proposed Comprehensive P~an. No. 17 - The Enclave residents want to work with Gramercy and the City so that this project may be completed. We want to be good neighbors but we want Gramercy to be good neighbors also. Gramercy has shown cooperation with us in presenting what they want in this project but we do not have communication with Gramercy that even approaches negotiation. Their negotiation has been with the City; Gramercy has 45 minutes to present their thoughts; we have 15. We live here and want the continued enjoyment of our homes. No. 18 - Traffic, Traffic, Traffic on 126th Street - Construction traffic for Gramercy, construction traffic for City Center, residential traffic in Gramercy, commercial traffic in Gramercy, traffic leaving home in the morning and coming home in the evening all using 126th Street - need I say more.

We support the plans for the Aramore PUD proposed by Pittman Partners of Carmel for several reasons. Development of the area is inevitable, and we feel it is very important that the change be done in a manner which benefits the existing neighborhood. Pittman Partners is a responsible local company with integrity, and has demonstrated their willingness to listen to the neighbors and build quality structures which enhance the area. In addition to attractive homes which will add value to the area, the construction of this project will add needed infrastructure to the surrounding neighborhood. Please approve this project. \s.igpielY~ ~~. )... '(~~\./Vv',\1r ,\./i/<' ,'~:"-L \ .../ ~y .' ./ I f.,i. / 'J" A~" . /'-/ -' q , \),,;),....rk H ",/. "'~,.-,." ,c"" ,:i!...-L 0' lJ ,/ John F.

Indianapolis, IN 46280 Steve, Over the past year, Pittman Partners has been presenting their plan for the rezoning and development of the 27+ acres located north of 96th Street on Westfield Boulevard tentatively known as Aramore. This development effort directly affects us as we share approximately 800 lineal feet of property line. It is inevitable that this area of Carmel can no longer go unnoticed, as there are valuable land development opportunities in this area. Both builders and developers alike have been actively pursuing this area for the last 15 years. We have attended, participated and listened through many meetings that were called by Pittman Partners, the neighbors of Chesterton, Lincoln/Maple and the city of Carmel. Most of these meetings have been directed at developing the plan for Aramore so as to appease all those involved. Pittman Partners has done a great job so far, performing their due diligence in presenting and refining the neighborhood development of Aramore to the zoning commission, the neighbors of the area and the immediate neighbors. Steve Pittman. and his group have shown genuine concern for the considerations, revisions and acceptance from all affected parties. There is no doubt that there will be development in this area. Pittman Partners have displayed the type of organization, professionalism and grass roots concern to be able to create a development that has the potential of enriching the area surrounding it and possibly drive a stake in the ground for what is to come for the redevelopment of this area. It is with this concerted effort we offer our support for Pittman Partners in their rezoning effort and the realization of proposed development of Aramore.

We wanted to let you know that we fully support this development. We understand that there are changes coming to this area, and we appreciate the fact that the developer, Pittman Partners, is a local company and truly has this community's interest in mind. We and our neighbors have had the opportunity to meet with Pittman Partners on numerous occasions. They have always addressed our questions and concerns about this development to the best of their abilities. Because ofthis open communication we feel comfortable that the result will be attractive housing with appealing architecture. In turn, the value of the surrounding property will be increased and badly needed infrastructure will be provided to the area. We know that change is inevitable. We would ask that you approve the development of this proposed neighborhood by this local developer. 11- ~ 1J/ Dennis and DeLynn Huff }!1'1r ) J" ) ,_ I '1 A- I ~c'H (J-.,,-ACf/fY16tJT l{ (3) Cot) nc 1"/ rn +r 7!I7/Dy Memo to: Carmel City Council Re: Pittman Partners Real Estate Development Plan for Westfield Blvd. We would like to express our support for the proposed development of Westfield Boulevard. The plan the Pittman Partners brings encompasses the need for updating the building and infrastructure desperately needed in this area. This plan will modernize the only residential entry point into Carmel from the city of Indianapolis. Currently motorists first view of Carmel using Westfield Boulevard are six run down rentals. We do not believe that this is the first impression Carmel wants to express. We also appreciate that Pittman is local and has a understanding of what the people want and need in a new development. They have met several times with interested parties and have taken their input and incorporated their concerns into the general plan for the development. This area has seen some recent development with The Retreat across the street. It only seems appropriate to further the beautification of southern Carmel with a new a vibrant development to draw in more young professionals. For these reasons we would ask that you approve this proposed development.

I want you to know that I am in support of this neighborhood. Steve Pittman has been great to work with and he has been very helpful in assisting me with my needs when Cannel was taking my land for the widening of Westfield Boulevard. He attended many meetings and supported my request for a median cut that would be beneficial to me today and moved his entryway several times to accommodate Cannel. Because of Steve's attention to detail and genuine concern for others whom his development will impact, we can all be proud of Aramore as our area oftown continues to be redeveloped.

I have seen the proposed 96lh and Westfield Boulevard Neighborhood Land Use Study, as well as Pittman Partners' congruent plans for developing the area. Each is a balanced, well thought-out vision of urban development that is inevitable for the neighborhood. I cannot comprehend those who object to positive change, such as replacing the blight along Westfield Boulevard Oust north of 96th Street across from The Retreat) with upscale town homes. Nor do I understand the animosity directed towards developers. Where do people think their homes came from? One cannot expect our area to remain bucolic forever when we are a mere mile from one of the busiest intersections in the state. This area is being developed for two reasons: There is a demand (Hamilton County is the 1Slh fastest growing county in the U.S.); and most importantly, our neiahbors are willina to sell their land. A few years ago, I too was hesitant when the Walden Pond project was proposed. However it has proved to be a benefit to the community, providing a safe, pleasant place to walk and is a great improvement over the rat-infested abandoned drive-in theater. This rezoning is a necessary, considerate step in the careful planning and managing of development in the 96th and Westfield Boulevard area. I urge the Commission to approve it. Jesse Hughett 47Tl+ CH (rI r;:1JI Lf (t.) {b,;(!Ci J m-l[, 7/17/0{. July 17, 2006 Carmel City Council Dear Council Members: As residents of the Forest Glen subdivision, adjacent to the Aramore PUD proposed by Steve Pittman of Pittman Partners, we present an amendment to the plan. At this point, Aramore has been approved by the Carmel Plan Commission and forwarded to the full Carmel City Council for further consideration. The plan shows the Aramore subdivision connecting to 961h Street through the Forest Glen subdivision. Per our petijion submitted on March 21, 2006 and signed by 39 residents of the Forest Glen ne~hborhood, the main position of the neighborhood Is that the new development not be connected to 96 Street via Maple Drive at this time. The existing street has no sidewalks and curbs, and the additional traffiC created by the new development could endanger lives of children playing on and near what are now no-outlet streets. However, if the Ccuncil would decide that the new development should be connected (either now or at some point in the future), we respectfully request that upgrades, consistent with the new development, be made to the existing roads of Lincoln Boulevard and Maple Drive. This includes, but is not limited to storm sewers, curbs and sidewalks. The Carmel Comprehensive Plan clearty states a policy of connectivity within and between neighborhoods. While we respect and appreciate the concept of connectivity, we also request that the extension of Maple Drive be delayed until such time that there are sufficient City funds reserved to complete the installation of storm sewers, curbs and sidewalks in the Forest Glen subdivision.
