Although neighboring areas were included in the Special Study of 2006, the map shows the actual boundaries from the Monon Greenway on the west, Keystone Parkway on the east, 99th St. on the north, and 96th St. to the south. Strategy Connection between Westfield Boulevard and Pennsylvania Parkway The City of Carmel will work to connect 96th St. from Westfield Blvd. to Pennsylvania. This connection is considered an essential connection, especially as U.S. 31 is upgraded to a freeway configuration as well as relieving traffic congestion at the Westfield round-about. This connection is depicted on the Orientation Map on the following page. A grade separation with the Monon Greenway will be necessary. Multi-use paths will be needed to connect to the path at the Lenape Trace Park which connects to the Monon Greenway. Promote a Neighborhood-Serving Commercial District: The southern boundary along 96th Street known as Wild Cherry Corner has approximately 26 acres with fourteen homes. The south side of 96th St. is also part of Wild Cherry Corner, but is in Marion County and is planned for office commercial. This area is experiencing destabilization due to land use changes on both sides of 96th Street between Keystone Ave. and Westfield Blvd. The District would include Wild Cherry Corner with the exception of the two and a half acres of Historic site, the west side of Haverstick Rd. and the north side of 96th St. frontage from Maple to Kittrell. The City of Carmel will work to encourage a mixed-use redevelopment that provides a more bicycle-and pedestrian-friendly environment and that provides goods and services to the residential communities within walking distance as well as the more intense commercial uses adjacent on the east side and south side of this area. Soften Transitions: As the south side of 96th Street develops with higher intensity uses, the Wild Cherry Corner area will serve as a buffer through the use of transitional type uses that are two or three stories in height along 96th Street and no more than two stories in height to the north, with roof designs that are similar to residential developments. Adjacent residential areas will be buffered both by present wooded areas as well as additional landscaping and walking paths. The Chesterton Subdivision will also be protected from traffic by installing a new barricade on Wild Cherry Lane that will meet safety requirements. Design Guidelines z Establish regulations to assure smooth transitions between the Neighborhood-Serving Commercial District and the neighboring residential areas providing adequate buffering to adjacent residential neighborhoods. z Ensure development and redevelopment safe for bicycle and pedestrians. 96th STREET & WESTFIELD BOULEVARD DISTRICT SUBAREA Page 2 of 2 10/16/2008 Keeling, Adrienne M From: Andy Marsh [amarsh@solutionshealthcare.com] Sent: Wednesday, October 15, 2008 10:13 PM To: Keeling, Adrienne M Cc: houck_ron_f@lilly.com Subject: Spring Mill Road land use Page 1 of 1 10/16/2008 Adrienne--My name is Andy Marsh and I am a homeowner is Spring Mill Place Subdivision just south of 111th on the east side of Spring Mill Road. We purchased our home 5 years and planned to raise our two small children at the back of a cul-de-sac with a heavily wooded backyard. The mere thought of a busy road being located just on the other side of our property line with the potential for 6-10 story office buildings makes us very uneasy. One of the reasons were purchased this home and piece of property it is located on was the seclusion and peacefullness that is hard to find in a neighborhood in Carmel. We live on nearly 2 acres and reguarly have deer, rabbits, and other wildlife in our back woods and yard and the thought of losing them to another roadway and commercial office buildings is a shame. While we understand the birms and trees are planned to seperate our backyards from the Illinois street expansion, having this in our backyard will create noise and decrease our property values which is unfair. On a second note, I would like to express my desire to retain the orange color designation (residential) for the parcel of land just north of our subdivision located between 111th and 116th street just east of springmill road. On Sept 23, 2008, it was agreed upon to leave this area as residential and move on to other areas of concern. To our surprise, on Oct 14th meeting, this same area was discussed again, while not on the agenda for that evening, and some plan commission members asked that this area be changed to pink. This action defeats the purpose of deciding to do one thing and then changing to another. This process is unfair and a complete waste of time for community members to show up if previous decisions are cast away and new agendas delivered. Thanks for your time and consideration of these matters. Sincerely, Andy, Rhonda, Tyler, and Lily Marsh 317 Spring Ridge Court (Spring Mill Place) Andy Andrew E.

In addition, I should bring to your attention, that over 20 years ago, Dr. Pittman attempted to get all this acreage re-zoned commercial at that time. This was not long after we built and purchased our house. At the time, this re-zoning did not agree with the comprehensive plan. They attempted to use the fact he received a slight variance for one parcel, to act as precedent for re-zoning the whole section of land. I personally hired Ice Miller at that time to fight this, then was joined by other residents. At that time, the planning commission was frankly overwhelmingly in favor of this change. However, in my opinion, when they found out they might be in for an extended legal battle, apparently they re-considered, and decided to shelve it. Shortly thereafter, when Dr. Pittman and Jim Nelson again tried to force the issue, a concerned group of residents here gathered together and successfully defeated the proposal. Dr. Pittman decided to (for a time) turn that property into a pig farm, as an attempted slap in the face to the residents. At the time, Browning called me at my office several times, trying to get me to convince folks to settle, because the smell was directed towards his development. However, as one of my neighbors who grew up on a farm said... "the smell doesn't bother me, to me it smells like money!" Eventually that pig farm went away. I am sure he will threaten something like that again. Nothing has changed. As a matter of fact, there is MORE residential in this area that would be affected at this time. I am sure this issue would be fought even harder this go around. There are parties that are still attempting to surround our neighborhood with commercial development. This was not what we expected when we purchased our houses, nor improved them over the years. I am sure this would be an extended and messy battle that would make the annexation look like a picnic. Respectfully, R. Kevin Williams 11065 Spring Mill Lane Adrienne, Please forward these comments to Leo Dierckman. 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.

At the conclusion of that meeting the process was to move on to Section 5. I did not attend the Oct. 14th meeting but was upset to hear that this previous area was revisited without warning. I don't understand how all of you could consider making this a special study area whereas commercial use could be considered. At the last meeting we were told that our neighborhood fit the description of yellow on your maps. How could you entertain putting a commercial area next to a low density subdivision. In addition we have million dollar estate homes across the street, which should be deemed green on the map. This study does not make sense to me and sounds like a big waste of tax payers money. I am starting to lose faith in your whole process. The correct process is to leave the area designated as residential, as agreed to at the September 23rd meeting. I understand that 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. Why then would you make this a special study area now. It seems that this action merely prolongs the process and involves our subdivision in more meetings. Are you merely trying to wear us down?

I am a resident of Spring Mill Place subdivision. I have been unable to attend the recent planning meetings due to the fact that I am currently serving overseas on active duty for the military. I have recently learned, from other similarly concerned residents, that the commission is considering creating 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. I am very much opposed to this! This area has many families living across the street on 111th and Springmill streets. It is not appropriate for this land to be turned to commercial use and the large increase in traffic and light pollution. Another office park does not fit the character of the area nor the vision of its resident's who believe that the best use for the land is for residential or continued agricultural purposes. My understanding is that 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 a decision was made to leave it designated as residential - as it should be. However, at the October 14th meeting this same issue was raised again by those wishing to take a second bite at the apple. It seems to me this issue was settled at the previous meeting. The fact that it was allowed to be reconsidered w/out advance notice to interested parties is a great disservice to interested residents like myself who have been told this issue has been resolved at a previous meeting. This area should remain designated as residential, as agreed to at the September 23rd meeting. Caving in to special interests and creating a special study area merely prolongs the process in the hopes that local residents will weary of the bureaucracy and endless meetings and eventually give in. It is my hope that you do your best to help prevent this area from becoming yet another office park. Thank you for your assistance.

My name is Suzanne Glesing, and I am a resident in the Spring Mill Place subdivision. As a resident, 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. I realize that there was recently a meeting which took place on September 23rd that 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. It is also my understanding that on October 14th another meeting was held and the previous conclusion from the September meeting was reversed. This is a disservice to your process and especially a disservice to those who took the time to attend the FIRST meeting. Why take the time, if simply another meeting will be held less that one month later and have all of previous discussions revisited and CHANGED? Especially when it was not even on the agenda and all of the same people are not in attendance. Having been made aware of the results of the September meeting, I felt no need to attend the October meeting because a decision had already been made. Apparently I was wrong. Even though these issues were finalized at the previous meeting - they were revisited without the same people who had previously taken the time to be present. This is absolutely unfair and seemingly unethical. 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 is ONCE AGAIN going to be presented to the Plan Commission and it's merits considered at that time. WHY?! This has already been addressed, and finalized in September. Creating a special study area merely prolongs the process and needlessly involves the residents of my subdivision in yet MORE MEETINGS, a strategy merely designed to wear down my neighbors and myself. We all have busy lives involving our children, our families, our jobs and whatever else. Taking the time to attend YET ANOTHER meeting - feel as if our presence is worthwhile - only to find out that it will once again be a WASTE OF TIME leaves all of us more than disappointed in the system that we are expected to count on. I WILL be at the next meeting - as will many other members of my neighborhood. Hopefully the effort will result in an improvement of communication and resolve.

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. 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. 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.

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 10989 Spring Mill Lane Carmel, In 46032 848-4535 Please forward these comments to Leo Dierckman. 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.

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. 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.

In addition please include my position to those who have written before me. Those proposing and supporting this special study are using this as a tactic to buy time by drawing those opposed into battle of attrition. We have jobs, families, and other responsibilities and should not have to continually make a case against an obstinate desire to commercially develop a piece of property that has already been addressed. The safety of our children, the value of our homes, and the overall community that exists today should not be overlooked for someone else's profit. This neighborhood is well established and has a strong desire to maintain the community it has created. I believe it is on record by the very developer pushing this issue, that the property being discussed cannot be developed residentially because there is no value in homes constructed next to an office building. How can one argue homes will have a lower value and cannot be built and then insist on putting an office next to our homes and pretend it will have no impact our community? This is ludicrous. I implore you to realize and honor what we as a community have work so hard to create and preserve over the years. Please re-establish the property being referenced back to residential.
