You are welcome to forward or read this email to the Board however: My husband, Dave and I own a property in the neighborhood just to the east of Oakbrook. Our address is 4870 Morgans Creek Ct. We have been residents there for about 3 1/2 years. I realize that undeveloped land in Carmel will not sit that way forever, so my best hope is that it be developed with care and attention to detail. As such, we are very much in support of The Old Town Design Group's plan to develop the land just north of Oakbrook. We have driven through your current development just behind Carmel High School, and have respect for your design standards, construction, and reputation. We are confident that the plans for Gray Oaks will be executed with the same class and will result in an area that is sought after, adds value to the land and surrounding neighborhoods, and is an asset for the north end of Gray Road. We've had the chance to get to know Jeff&Wendy Langston in the past few years, and have great respect for them personally and professionally. Our only concern is one that pre-dated your plans, and that is the lack of sidewalks extending from Oakbrook and/or Morgans Creek, north to those on 146`h. As you are aware, Gray Rd. is quite busy and sidewalk extensions would ensure the safety of the many pedestrians, runners, and bikers as traffic increases here. I actually can't figure out how they exist on the parallel roads of Carey and Hazel Dell, and are still not present on Gray. My hope is that, as you plan to develop that land, that the city would see it as an opportunity to put in sidewalks at the same time. There are many teenagers who walk/ride up to the high school just north of the intersection and I'd hate to see a pedestrian accident similar to the many we've seen at the corner. Any help in this issue would be appreciated. We wish you all the best with your plans and business.

I have reviewed the proposed development and wanted to give my support to the proposed plan. Given that the parcel in question will be developed sooner rather than later, I believe the neighborhood layout and type of homes proposed will be a good fit for our area. The fact that the homes will be of custom quality and value further solidifies my support. If you would like additional feedback feel free to contact me.

I confident that the developer will follow through with the commitments they have made to Oakbrook Homeowners Association and the properties that will back up to the development. Mr Moffett has offered to with me Wednesday to assess the 20' preservation area to discuss if more trees are needed to better buffer the property lines. I do hope the requirement of a noise ordinance needs to be mandated that is equal to or more restrictive that the City of Carmel allows.
