It was first Brixx Pizza, now the Depot development space at 116th Street and Municipal Drive is occupied by the Park Place Pub.  The Fishers Board of Works and Safety approved an encroachment onto the city’s property allowing Park Place to construct an outdoor dining area (see rendering above).  The board unanimously approved the encroachment agreement.

Also, at Tuesday morning’s board meeting, the city set rental fees for the Nickel Plate Amphitheater, located north of City Hall.  The board voted for a proposal from the Parks & Recreation Department, which studied rental structures for similar facilities in the general local area.  The basic rental fee is set at $5,000.  If the group renting the facility wants other services, such as audio-visual or office space, the fee could be adjusted.  Hamilton Southeastern Schools and their affiliates are allowed complementary use of the stage
with prior approval from the city.  Parks and Recreation Director Sarah Sandquist told the board her department will work with nonprofit organizations seeking to rent the Amphitheater.  The board unanimously approved the rental fees.
