The Fishers Plan Commission unanimously voted for a favorable recommendation to the City Council Wednesday night as the proposed Community Center moves forward. The complex is to be constructed at the intersection of 121st Street and Hoosier Road.
There were three public comments. One hearing-impaired resident with property adjacent to the Center raised concerns about a tree-line currently on the property and whether his property will have such a buffer once construction begins. He also asked about plans for sidewalks in the area where none exist now.
There were other concerns raised, particularly about increased traffic.
Planning and Zoning Director Ross Hilleary says he will work with residents on the tree buffers. He does not see a roundabout at 121st & Hoosier Road at this time, but there are plans for deceleration and acceleration lanes in the approaches to the Community Center.
The Community Center plans will now go to the City Council for a final vote.
