To all neighbors:
FYI. I sent the email below to Adrienne, feel free to borrow or supplement with your own words. They have requested that all comments be submitted by today. The meeting will be next
Wednesday (12th) and your attendance is necessary.

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
