Dear Adrienne,
I am in complete consensus with my neighbors who've written previously to express their opinion
that the area on the east side of Spring Mill Road north of 111th Street to the southern border of Spring
Lakes Estates should be left as residential as agreed to in the September 23rd meeting.
Developing this land for commercial use would not only adversely affect the value of our homes in
Spring Mill Place, but it would also increase the traffic through our subdivision as well as throughout
the surrounding thoroughfares in the area. Additionally, bringing another commercial development so
close to our neighborhood increases the safety risks to our children because of the amount of both
automotive and foot traffic that a commercial development would bring.
Spring Mill Place is a quiet, friendly neighborhood with very little cut through traffic, which is one of
the primary reasons we bought our home, having 2 small children. A commercial development at 111th
and Spring Mill changes the entire make up of the area. We do not appreciate the potential for
more commercial so close to our homes any more than the $1MM+ homes that line Spring Mill would.
Our land backs up to the land that will be developed for Illinois Street, so we are also VERY concerned
with the potential height o f the buildings that will line Illinois Street. The reason we bought this home
was because it is on a 2 acre wooded lot and we love the wildlife that inhabits the area behind our
house. We (our children) will be losing the opportunity to see deer, ducks, rabbits, squirrels, etc... out of
our back windows when this project is complete. Please don't ask us to look out our windows at 6-10
story buildings instead!!
Please forward these comments to Leo Dierckman, President of the Carmel Plan Commission, so that he
and the rest of the commission will do the right thing for both our neighborhood and the greater Spring
Mill area.
Please forward this message to Leo Dierckman and anyone else who needs to hear how the residents of
Spring Mill Place really feel.
Thank you,
Rhonda and Andy Marsh
