The third time was the charm for Joe Nixon Properties and Custom Container Builders Wednesday evening as the Nickel Plate Review Committee approved plans for a residential home on Lantern Road.  The vote was 5-0 in favor.

Fishers City Councilor Selina Stoller pointed out that the first time this home design was before the committee, the staff did not approve of the plans.  The second time the committee reviewed the proposal, it still did not pass muster with committee members.  On this third attempt, there were enough changes to allow approval.

Committee Member Rich Block said he is giving the home a “hesitant yes.” saying he has some reservations but will support the agenda item.

All committee members agreed in the final vote to move the home forward.

The Nickel Plate Review Committee looks at plans in the Nickel Plater District, part of downtown Fishers, looking at whether the plans meet a certain threshold for size, intensity or density as detailed by the Nickel Plate Code Code. The Committee reviews the proposal’s design, architecture, materials, compatibility with surrounding development, and pedestrian and vehicular circulation. The Committee also has the ability to review and approve waivers from the standards of the Nickel Plate District Code.
