Adrienne,
Please forward the following comments to Leo Dierckman.
As residents of the Spring Mill Place subdivision, we are opposed to the creation of a special study area to study
the area on the east side of Spring Mill Road north of 111th St. 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 subsequent sections. However, at
the October 14th meeting this same ground was addressed again by those wishing to try it again. This is a
disservice to your process and to those who attend and expect resolution at each meeting, rather than revisiting
issues when they are not on the agenda and all people are not in attendance. This is certainly unfair to those who
did not attend thinking these issues were finalized at the previous meeting.
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 should be presented to the Plan Commission and it's merits considered at that time. Creating a
special study area merely prolongs the process and needlessly involves the residents in our subdivision in more
meetings, a strategy seemingly designed to wear down the residents.
We plan on attending the October 28th meeting to monitor the progress being made on behalf of our community.
