Dear Adrienne,
Please forward these comments to Leo Dierckman.
My name is Suzanne Glesing, and I am a resident in the Spring Mill Place subdivision.
As a resident, 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.
I realize that there was recently a meeting which took place on September 23rd that 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 subsequent sections.
It is also my understanding that on October 14th another meeting was held and the previous conclusion
from the September meeting was reversed. This is a disservice to your process and especially a
disservice to those who took the time to attend the FIRST meeting. Why take the time, if simply
another meeting will be held less that one month later and have all of previous discussions revisited
and CHANGED? Especially when it was not even on the agenda and all of the same people are not in
attendance.
Having been made aware of the results of the September meeting, I felt no need to attend the October
meeting because a decision had already been made. Apparently I was wrong. Even though these
issues were finalized at the previous meeting - they were revisited without the same people who had
previously taken the time to be present. This is absolutely unfair and seemingly unethical. The correct
process is to leave the area designated as residential, as agreed to at the September 23rd meeting.
As some Plan Commission members indicated at the October 14th meeting, a project for the land
between 111th and 116th Streets is ONCE AGAIN going to be presented to the Plan Commission and
it's merits considered at that time. WHY?! This has already been addressed, and finalized in
September.
Creating a special study area merely prolongs the process and needlessly involves the residents of
my subdivision in yet MORE MEETINGS, a strategy merely designed to wear down my neighbors and
myself. We all have busy lives involving our children, our families, our jobs and whatever else. Taking
the time to attend YET ANOTHER meeting - feel as if our presence is worthwhile - only to find out that it
will once again be a WASTE OF TIME leaves all of us more than disappointed in the system that we
are expected to count on.
I WILL be at the next meeting - as will many other members of my neighborhood. Hopefully the effort
will result in an improvement of communication and resolve.
