I took a very quick look through this and didn't see anything that bothered me, but I will defer to Mr. Shaver on this. Bruce D. Donaldson Barnes Thornburg LLP 11 South Meridian Street Indianapolis, IN 46204 Direct: (317)231 -7290 Fax: (317)231 -7433 Email: bruce.donaldson@btlaw.com Hollibaugh, Mike P" <MHollibaugh @carmel.in.gov> 11/23/2007 11:21 AM Dear Mike and Bruce. Page 1 of 1 Please forgive all of the red in this draft amendment what i've tried to do with this "rework" is bring closer the language With respect to what the westclay project represents, and, where the plan commission is, generally /philosophically, with respect to both westclay, and the CRC ED objectives (i think)... Realizing this is a complicated subject with a history going back to 1997, there are a number of suggestions which probably aren't correct or are consistent with something. However, I felt we needed to get something "new" in play to discuss, that may be more acceptable t� a majority of the PC. It would be my goal that a revised draft can be ready to be shipped out (email and mail) to the PC on Monday...in advance of their meeting on Thursday, Nov. 29. Let me know what you think. Mike H. (Incidentally, I will be out of town on 11/28- 12/1, but will do what i can on Mon and Tues to help).
