I am a teacher at Binford Elementary. I work with a student who lives in this home. While over winter break, our school skills development instructor went into the home. This individual stated there is a dog with a "visibly broken leg." When our skills instructor requested information on the dog, the family changed the subject. In the home are two parents, three sons and one daughter. All three sons have autism that result in physically abusive explosions. I am the teacher of the oldest son who is unhealthily obsessed with his cat. He makes disturbing comments about the cat and students have said he has made sexual advances towards the animal. I have never heard anything directly from this student about the advances, but he does make comments that are concerning about his love for the cat.
The skills instructor stated the house was very messy and had a terrible odor from the inside, possibly due to the animals inside the home. I am unsure as to how many pets there are.

There is a chicken that seems to have settled between my house and my neighbors house, it keeps coming on to our porch and foraging in the front yard, I don't believe it belongs to any of my immediate neighbors. Its been pooping on the porch/walkway and driving my dog nuts when we go on walks. Its a brown chicken.

I live on West Ezekiel Drive in Bloomington, which is part of the Summit Woods HOA. I've owned my home at this address for over three years, long before the rest of the neighborhood was developed. Since the neighborhood has filled in, the townhouses on my street have not been served by Bloomington city trash or recycling, leaving residents and nearby students in an apartment complex to pile trash in two hastily placed dumpsters in the drive behind our row of homes. As of tonight, the dumpsters are, once again, overflowing with trash, with full trash bags and loose trash blowing around our back yards and flocks of black birds feeding on the scraps. I have three children who often play outside, and several of my neighbors also have young children as well. Not only is this situation an on-going eyesore, but it is also dangerous and a sanitation risk for residents and families in the neighborhood.
The city of Bloomington has told us that since this is a private street, there is nothing they can do to help. I’m writing to ask if you will help us address this immediate mess and also help us find a long-term solution to this perpetual problem. All of the homeowners on this street pay thousands of dollars in HOA fees every year only to see our street overrun with trash, which, ultimately, will depress property values and/or resale potentials. This situation is unacceptable and I'm hoping you to help us hold the HOA accountable and also help us find a new, more reliable and sanitary solution for the dumpsters. Every other house in our development has curb-side trash and recycling, including units literally across the street from us.
I have reached out to Summit Woods HOA numerous times and they have never returned my calls or emails.
Thank you so much for your help. You're welcome to call or email me if you have further questions.

The corner of E. David Drive and E. Tapps Turn is a school bus stop. There is no street light there and it’s very dark especially for neighborhood children waiting for their bus during early morning hours. For the safety of children and drivers who come into our neighborhood via David Drive, we need to have a street light installed.

two buildings on the property look vacant and are crumbling. In the satellite pic you can even see the hole in the roof on the building on the left. The middle building looks like a hoard and I'm confident the owner doesn't live in it anymore. Last week the mailbox was knocked over, then trash was all over the yard. There are missing windows, visible trash inside from the road. The barrier around the middle trailer is now broken is several places, leaving the underside of the trailer open to neighborhood cats. I worry for the people living in the single viable traier.

There is construction going on behind me, on the corner of Miller Drive and S. Henderson. Last week and again today there are awful vibrations coming from that site. These vibrations literally make me sick. This is a deep low vibration and it comes from a piece of equipment that looks like a steam roller. The driver goes back and forth and back and forth over the property pretty much constantly. I'm wondering how much longer this is going to be going on. There is occasionally a break from it but it's mostly steady all day. I actually have to leave my house when it starts up (early in the morning) and stay away all day. I hope someone can advise me how much longer this is going to be going on.
