Adrienne,
Please forward these comments to Leo Dierckman.
As a resident of the Spring Mill Place subdivision, I am opposed to the creation of a special study area to study
the area on the east side of Spring Mill Road north of 111th Street to the southern border of Spring Lakes Estates.
The meeting on September 23rd was solely devoted to discussing the Land Use map. The area now being
considered for special study was discussed at length and the decision was made to leave it designated as
residential. At the conclusion of that meeting the process was to move on to Section 5. I did not attend the Oct.
14th meeting but was upset to hear that this previous area was revisited without warning. I don't
understand how all of you could consider making this a special study area whereas commercial use
could be considered. At the last meeting we were told that our neighborhood fit the description of
yellow on your maps. How could you entertain putting a commercial area next to a low density
subdivision. In addition we have million dollar estate homes across the street, which should be deemed
green on the map. This study does not make sense to me and sounds like a big waste of tax payers
money. I am starting to lose faith in your whole process.
The correct process is to leave the area designated as residential, as agreed to at the September 23rd meeting. I
understand that some Plan Commission members indicated at the October 14th meeting, a project for the land
between 111th and 116th Streets should be presented to the Plan Commission and it's merits considered at that
time. Why then would you make this a special study area now. It seems that this action merely prolongs the
process and involves our subdivision in more meetings. Are you merely trying to wear us down? What's going on
here??
