Re: (1) "The Pittman Parcel" (111th-116th Streets on the East side of Spring Mill Road)
(2) The impact of future development of the property on the Spring Mill Place subdivision
Dear Adrienne:
Please forward these comments to Leo Dierckman
My wife and I are homeowners in the Spring Mill Place subdivision (10989 Spring Mill Lane) which subdivision is
located due south of the Pittman Parcel.
I am the principal real estate broker in Lieberman and Associates, Inc. and have been a licensed real estate
broker for 23 years.
I have been involved in several feasibility studies of many residential and commercial properties over many years
as my father was a real estate developer. Obviously, my wife and I and all home owners in Spring Mill Place are
concerned about our future property values.
I am aware that the Pittman Parcel is being considered as a potential special study area under the
Comprehensive Plan for Carmel.
I am in agreement with Ron Houck (that lives in our subdivision) per his prior statement to you below (See
below).
I believe the best use of the Pittman Parcel in light of the existing residential communities surrounding that
parcel is for the Pittman Parcel to be residential.
I realize that no specific project/development proposal is being reviewed right now by the Carmel Planning
Commission for development of the property. But given the nice Williams Mill subdivision (on the west side of
Spring Mill Road across from the Pitman Parcel), I believe that another well planned development like Williams
Mill would fit well into the residential design and flavor of our existing two subdivisions (Williams Mill and Spring
Mill Place.)
I am therefore opposed to changing the property to a Special Study Area.
Thank you for giving consideration to my thoughts as well as to all of the other home owners in the Spring Mill
Place subdivision.
Sincerely,
John and Tammy Lieberman

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 subsequent sections. However, at
the October 14th meeting this same ground was plowed again by those wishing to take a second bite at the
apple. 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 people 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 yet
more meetings, a strategy merely designed to wear down residents.
