Annual HOA Meeting Scheduled


Happy New Year from your Arbor Springs HOA! As a new year begins, we invite you to join us for
our annual HOA meeting. It will be held virtually via Zoom at 10 AM, January 15th, 2022. Topics
include: a summary of 2021 activities, 2022 budget and dues, and election of 2022 HOA Board
members.
You should have recently received a mailing from Kirkpatrick Management. The letter included an
announcement of the HOA annual meeting, a proxy form, and a nomination form. Your attendance is
greatly encouraged in order to hear firsthand information about the activities of the Arbor Springs
Board. If you are unable to attend, it is very important to complete and return the proxy form. In
order to conduct business at the annual meeting a quorum of our neighborhood must be present or
represented by proxy.
This meeting is also a great opportunity to ask questions and learn what is happening in our
neighborhood. We hope to see you there!

Redwood Apartments Rezoning

ATTENTION! REZONING/VARIANCE FOR MULTI-FAMILY APARTMENTS
Redwood Acquisitions is seeking rezoning/variance approval of multi-family apartments on property immediately north and abutting against the Arbor Springs neighborhood.

Redwood is requesting:

  1. Rezoning from Ag (agriculture) to M2, multi-unit, single story rental complex. Click link for schematic and layout of project:
    https://drive.google.com/file/d/1TGksISDf454GXrkNYoc6vve6TBp7rSUP/view?usp=sharing
  2. Variance in setback from 30 feet to 20 feet structure to street.
  3. Variance to increase number of units per lot from 4 to 26.
  4. Variance to have less than 50% brick (vinyl siding).

This proposal is NOT in the best interest of Arbor Springs and the surrounding neighborhoods.

Potential impacts include:

  1. Noise, traffic, and congestion that would be created and detrimental to the peaceful enjoyment of our homes.
  2. Negative impact of the value of your home.
  3. Increased stress on our Brownsburg school system.
  4. Reduce further the already poor water pressure provided to Arbor Springs.
  5. Unsafe congestion created by narrow streets, sidewalks only on one side, and egress to US136.
  6. Increased safety concerns of children due to the proposed narrow setbacks and streets in the proposed complex.
  7. Detrimental effects to the area aesthetics and the environment.
  8. Liability issues to Arbor Springs regarding its swimming pool and playground area since the proposed Redwood project contains neither amenity.

HOW CAN YOU HELP TO OPPOSE THIS REZONING/VARIANCE REQUEST?

  1. Participate in opposition preparation meetings via zoom. Contact [email protected] for more information.
  2. Attend and voice your concerns at the Plan Commission (1/25/21) and Board of Zoning Appeals (2/8/21) meetings.
