Being at the back of a cul-de-sac and having woods behind our lot which will face Illinois street and the buildings, we want a reasonable amount of buffer betweeen our back yard and the road/buildings. There needs to be discussion with the homeowners as to the exact amount of buffer/trees, etc that will be utilized. Thanks. Andy Andy Andrew E.

Ron Ron F Houck/AM/LLY 11/06/2008 06:53 PM To "Keeling, Adrienne M" <AKeeling@carmel.in.gov> cc Subject Re: Comprehensive Plan - Supplemental Pages AvailableLink Adrienne, The graphic added to Part 5 in the US 31 Corridor section is misleading. Although it is probably designed to be generically applied, it does not accurately represent the circumstances of our neighborhood with a 100 foot buffer. Additionally, the buffer area that is shown west of Illinois Street shows deciduous trees taller than a two-story home. To not have a negative impact on our neighborhood, the buffer must provide total visual screening year round. This would mean mounding and coniferous trees. The average specimens planted are usually 6-8 foot in height. Even with mounding, this only provides a 10-12 foot height in the buffer area. To the graphic attached here, I added a typical line- of-sight from a home to the 10-story building in the cross-section. A view of the upper stories of high buildings is unacceptable, if our property values are to be protected. For buildings fronting onto US 31 and near adjacent residential areas the building height should not exceed six stories and for the 3-story and 6-story buildings there should be a maximum height restrictions of 45 feet and 80 feet, respectively. Ron Good Afternoon: A few edits were made at the Comprehensive Plan Committee meeting on Tuesday, October, 28. A supplemental draft, dated October 31, is now available which includes only the pages that changed. This supplement is to be used in conjunction with the October 23 draft.
