Subject:Stout Farm Opposition
Dear Mr. Butler:
My wife and I own a town home in The Village of West Clay. It was recently brought to our attention the
proposed development of the Stout Farm Property. Without question the current development plan as
submitted is not at all consistent with the land use and planning that has made Carmel and in particular
the West Clay area such a desirable place to live. The County Officials and developers who guided,
approved and built the existing communities did an excellent job of maintaining consistency and did not
allow opportunistic “bottom feeder” developer(s) to come in with down-scale, high density products that
“leach” off of the prestige and cache of the established communities. To be clear, we are not opposed to
the development of the Stout Farm property, but only if the homes and overall community plan is
consistent with the excellent existing examples that surround the Stout Farm property.
Thank you for your consideration. A lot of good decision making has occurred in the past that resulted in
the consistent development of a benchmark example of a thriving, upscale, diversified composite of
neighborhoods. Please do not approve the current development plan - and send a message to all that
maintaining the quality and consistency of Carmel and West Clay is sacrosanct.
Sincerely,
Scott & Nancy Atherton
The Village of West Clay
