Hi Bric,
Hope you are doing well. Although I attended the public meeting on August 20, 2024 at 6 p.m., I wanted
to follow up regarding my concerns about the proposed 146th/ Towne Rd. Development. I am very
concerned that the committee would be entertaining commercial development on the 146th and
Town Rd. area. Specifically, I am concerned because Carmel has never seen any commercial
development west of Clay Terrace along the 146th St. Carmel corridor. Thus, allowing this type of
development would be a marked and negative change to the area and the effects could be costly for
those of us who have already purchased homes and settled in this vicinity of Carmel. Plus, there is
already a plethora of commercial development being added just north in Westfield. The additional
traffic a commercial development would bring in is nonsensical on a plot this size. Therefore, there is no
need for it in this section of Carmel. Also, there is concern that this could become a build to rent
community, which would damage current home values in preexisting subdivisions like Saddle Creek.
Moreover, I am seriously concerned about the level of density in the current plans. Density rates in the
proposed development are twice that of the new and unfinished Ambleside development and are
1
proposed for a plot of land that is 1/5 the size of the Ambleside development. That’s quite a leap in
terms of being like the surrounding area. Furthermore, the proposed development's super pond would
destroy 2 acres of mature trees and create water erosion issues and increased costs to the Saddle
Creek community. Destruction of nature when there is an alternative is seriously problematic and a
reflection of progress without conscience. Please do not allow this to happen.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
