The Cyntheanne Meadows residential development near 126th Street and the Cyntheanne Park area, on the northeast side of Fishers, has been granted an easement from the city, but with one condition Mayor Scott Fadness insisted be included in the granting of that  easement.

Cyntheanne Meadows asked the city for an easement on what is city property east of Cyntheanne Park for a drainage easement, allowing for a storm sewer outlet to a nearby pond.  A 12 inch reinforced concrete pipe will be installed providing for the storm sewer.

Fadness raised concerns about whether this easement would limit city officials from developing that land in the future, possibly expanding sports fields for Cyntheanne Park.

City Engineering Department Director Jason Taylor and City Attorney Chris Greisl told the mayor the installation of the pipe would prevent any structures from being built over the easement, but would not prevent sports fields on that site.

The mayor included that condition in moving to approve the request, which was passed by the Board of Public Works and Safety Monday.

In one other action, the board approved language contained in agreements with local nonprofit organizations to accept contributions from the city.  The City Council approved $255,000 funding local nonprofits as part of the 2020 city budget.  Here are the organizations and amounts to be received from city coffers this year:

Youth Assistance Program                            $65,250
