Hi
I am writing to comment on the Carmel Consolidated Comprehensive Plan.
I believe that city plans must explore the most energy efficient designs possible in our buildings (LEEDS,
Energy Star, etc) and means of transportation (mass transit of some sort). We need to provide an
alternative to cars. The era of cheap energy is over and those cities that are best prepared will have a
marked advantage. Minimize urban sprawl. More mixed use. We must support and encourage
alternative energy options such as wind and solar to move away from fossil based fuels and reduce our
carbon footprint. We should protect existing trees and plant as many more trees as possible to
sequester carbon, provide cooling and air/water filtration. Please explore all green and sustainable city
planning practices.
Thanks for your work.
