Compiled by Sadie Hunter

 

The Noblesville Common Council met for a regular meeting at 7 p.m. Aug. 25. Their next meeting will take place at 7 p.m. Sept. 15 at City Hall, 16 S. 10th St.

What happened: J Enterprises Inn of Noblesville, LLC introduced ordinance waivers to the council for four wall signs for the Holiday Inn Express & Suites development at 13625 Tegler Dr. in the Saxony Corporate Campus.

Why it matters: Ordinances for the Saxony Corporate Campus only allow two wall signs per construction with one ground monument sign. On Aug. 17, the Noblesville Plan Commission sent the request forward with a unanimous unfavorable recommendation after planning staff suggested disapproval.

What’s next: The council will vote at their next meeting.

 

What happened: Republic Development, LLC introduced text amendments to an ordinance for the Saxony Corporate Campus regarding cross access easements and landscaping. The council waived standard rules to approve the proposed text amendments upon the petitioner’s request due to pressing permit deadlines.

Why it matters: The change to the ordinance will allow cross access between business parking lots for vehicle circulation on approximately 280 acres, eliminating parking lot landscaping between separate entities. On Aug. 17, the Noblesville Plan Commission sent the request forward with a unanimous favorable recommendation. Changes will allow drivers and customers to go from business to business without exiting back onto the main highway or road.

 

What happened: Noblesville Schools and the heirs of Frances W. King introduced a change in zoning to the council for property directly north (across Field Drive) of Noblesville High School. The council approved the rezone following a request from Noblesville Schools. The district had hoped to begin using the property at the beginning of the school year, but now wants to get into the building as soon as possible.

Why it matters: The 7.4-acre property at 1610 and 1650 Field Dr. will change from single-family residential zoning to residential and government use overlay zoning for the school district, similar to the former Freshman Center on Field Drive, to implement new programs. The district purchased the property earlier this year and plans to repurpose the existing buildings, a church and a home. The district does not currently plan to build any additional structures. The church will be used in a joint effort between five Hamilton County school districts and The Crossing church for students who need an alternative education environment. The home on the property will be used as part of the district’s Project Work campaign to teach life skills to special needs students in an effort to help them live independently.
