Please submit this to the Plan Commission in regards to their upcoming discussion about the
Jackson's Grant Village PUD Rezone/Amendment:
Dear Plan Commission,
I was strongly opposed to the Jackson's Grant Village PUD when it was originally approved
several years ago because I am a Jackson's Grant resident and did NOT wish for
retail/commercial spaces to be in my neighborhood (which now they will be because JG
Village is directly accessible from Jackson's Grant via Otto Lane). Now I see that even
MORE retail/commercial is being planned there with the proposal of a LARGE Day Care
Center and 60 additional parking spaces. Please DENY this plan.
Ask the developer (Republic):
1.) What is the estimated Sq. Ft. of the planned Day Care building and planned usage days /
hours. 160 students seems LARGE!
2.) Please specify the total number of commercial buildings to be added. The Day Care
facility is one of the commercial buildings planned, but is there an additional commercial
building planned? If so, please provide more details regarding the total Sq. Ft. and the
planned usage and hours of operation for the 2nd commercial building.
3.) There are 60 parking spaces planned to be added. Why? There are only 3 additional
townhomes planned so why are so many parking spaces needed?
My final point is as a member of the current Board of Directors of Jackson's Grant HOA. I am
aware from our HOA meetings in Jackson's Grant that Republic did NOT complete some of
the Bioswales in our neighborhood as they had promised the City of Carmel when our
neighborhood was approved by the City Council years ago. Please do NOT let them promise
you again that certain conditions will be met because their promise held ZERO weight when it
came to completing their plans in Jackson's Grant.
Thank you,
Nancy Cheesman
