The Fishers Plan Commission continued a request Wednesday night to approve plans for the Whelchel Springs subdivision, proposed to be built on the south side of Southeastern Parkway between Florida Road and Cyntheanne Road.  Members of the commission were hesitant to approve the plat when parts of the housing development did not meet the city’s ordinances.  Boomerang Development assured the commission that paperwork had just been filed to put the development in compliance with local ordinances.  However, commission members did not have those changes in writing.  As a result, the developer will return to the August Plan Commission session and submit the revised specifications. Whelchel Springs is proposed to be a 261 lot subdivision built on 147 acres.

The commission approved a proposed change in the I-69 Overlay, adding the tech park located behind the Target Shopping Center near I-69 & 116th Street.  The overlay area does not allow development exempt from Indiana’s property tax.  This proposal now moves on for final approval from the city council.
