In a unanimous vote, a joint session of the Fall Creek Township and Fishers Boards of Zoning Appeals voted to deny a zoning variance requested by Geist Nursery, located in the area of the Windermere neighborhood, 9890 Mollenkopf Road. The business asked the boards to allow events on their grounds, such as weddings and other special events.

Both boards were required to vote on the zoning variance request because part of the Geist Nursery grounds are contained within the city of Fishers and the rest of the land is located in Fall Creek Township outside the city limits.

Out of 19 people speaking at the public hearing, 14 opposed the variance.  The most common concerns centered around noise late at night during the events and added traffic.
