Subject: Park Place From: Copperpenny1940@aol.com Date: Sun, 7 Jan 2007 21 :05:35 EST To: jbrainard@carmel.in.gov CC: rsharp@carmel.in.gov Dear Mr. Mayor, My wife and I are 13 year residents of Wood park (116th and Guilford). Regarding the proposed Park Place (a 4 story high density 243 suite retirement center) on the east side of Guilford on the current Wetlands area, we want to provide our thoughts and input. We feel very strongly that this proposed 4 story building should not be approved. The following are just a few of the reasons we feel this way: _ For quite some time, the only structures in this area that were not single-family homes are the Twin Lakes Apartments and the Lenox Trace Condominiums. _ The density and traffic in this area will increase dramatically in future months/years, as a result of: (a) the recent addition of Pulte Towne Homes at Guilford and Guilford Reserve condominiums. both of which are not yet completed; (b) the 116th Street Center complex (2 story retail/office building which is still being expanded, but currently has only 2 retail tenants; (c) the condominiums/town homes to be built on the north side of 116th Street between College Avenue and Guilford Avenue and (d) the increased traffic that will be generated with the opening of Central Park this Spring. Adding a 4 story Retirement Center will only add to the density and traffic problems in this area - especially since the actuai'additional traffic and density that will be generated by the "recently built" and "yet to be built/completed" residential and commercial structures is not yet determined (and won't be, for quite some time). _ the Wetlands/Wildlife area currently offers some of the only "green space" in this area and taking that away will only further erode what had been predominantly a residential neighborhood. _ The further encroachment by commercial structures in an area that just a year ago was almost 100% residential (practically the only commercial structure between College Avenue and Rangeline Road was the PSI Energy building, which goes relatively unnoticed due to its setback and 1 story elevation). _ In your recent State of the City Address. you mentioned that the City has had tremendous growth in just the past few years and "we need to make sure that any further expansion/development is in harmony with the eXisting neighborhood". It would seem that with all the activity in the "Guilford Avenuel116th Street area" (that has taken place. is taking place and has been approvedlwill be taking place), the proposed 4 story Park Place is not in harmony with the existing neighborhood- and should not be approved. i appreciate the opportunity to present my thoughts to you and know you will give them serious consideration.
