Subject:146/Towne Rd Development “ Attn Planning and Zoning Committee
Follow Up Flag:Follow up
Flag Status:Flagged
1) Housing density 7.5 houses per acre, almost double that of Ambleside. No other developments like
this exist on the south side of 146 street. On the south side of 146 street housing densities are
consistently closer to 2 to 3 houses per acre.
2) . Commercial. There are no commercial developments between Clay Terrace and County line
Road on the Carmel side.; this is a departure from the intentional choices that Carmel has made, thus
far. It is consistent with the overdevelopment choices of Westfield, but looks very out of place in the
car neighborhoods. Traffic, light noise, pollution, and stresses on the infrastructure main concerns.
3. Destruction of valuable, establish green space. The creation of a super pond would necessitate the
destruction of over 40 mature, healthy trees. Green space is recognized as valuable in terms of real
estate, and has an immeasurable impact on mental health as it is essential for well-being. Alternative
plan would be to keep the green space and extend the walking path along the mature tree line
between the coupons, creating a cohesive green space experience by connecting the walking trails.
