When the Drive Planning investment firm had its proposed new building near 116th Street and Olio Road before the Fishers Plan Commission, two votes were taken.  The vote for a favorable recommendation to the City Council failed to receive the required 6 votes.  The next vote for an unfavorable recommendation also failed to garner 6 votes.

Therefore, the Drive Planning office building plans will now head to the City Council with no recommendation from the Plan Commission.

Faegre Drinker Attorney Murray Clark told the Commission Drive Planning has worked with the neighbors to work out any issues, but there are a few remaining.  There were 4 speakers during the public hearing, all expressed that most issues were addressed, one described it as 95% solved, but still had concerns about the remaining 5%.

City Councilor & Plan Commission member Selina Stoller voted no because she does not like the building design.  Another Councilor and Commission member Todd Zimmerman voted no because he still has concerns that Drive did not show up for the first reading of this proposal before City Council.

The proposed office building now goes to the City Council for a final vote.
