The Honorable Donald Schmidt, President
City Council of the City of Fort Wayne
2110 Forest Park Boulevard
fort Wayne, IN 46805
Dear Councihnan Schmidt~
July 7,2000
It has been an honor and privilege to be asked to attend two meetings of the Mayor
Richard's Task Force where options were explored to improve the way City of Fort
Wayne does business with the public. It gave others and myself a chance to express
opinions on matters we felt were detrimental to the City7s growth. I, and many others
like lne are committed to thls Chy we call our home. We want to See it prosper, be a
place for opportunity for all, and a place where we can raise the future generation of
Americans. 1 am proud of being a citizen of this community .
I have been in the practice of engineering and land developing for the last 34 years in the
City of Fort Wayne. I have seen changes, which in my opinion do not foster a better
climate for the business cOllllllunity, mainly the land development sector. I recognize the
need for regulating some aspects of the planning process in project developments,
however, sometimes the best of intentions go beyond the reqllirement and the need. Let
me give some examples from my own experience.
Subject to landscaping: I recognize the need to buffer residential developments from
retail-commercial developments, but how much buffering and screening do we need
betweell multi-family resid.ential and single family residential? Are we suggesting that
those who live in apartments are more likely to do harm to another's property, therefore,
we should protect the single family dweller, if not, then some sort of planting to draw the
boundaries should be adequate. Trees, shrubs, or some other sort of plants will work for
this purpose.
Approyed; Subject to Buffering and Screening against 1-69: Whom are we buffering
from whom? Shouldn't the developer worry about ho",· much buffering should be done
to have a profitable Pfoject? Profit is not considered to be a bad word .
Approval; Subject to planting shrubs along the street Right of Way aloDg the
parking lot: Should that be a condition for approval when the parking lot is a car
