A few neighbors back up to the Nickle Plate Trail and have privacy concerns. In the coming weeks. I plan on knocking on these neighbors' doors for feedback. Fishers Council approved a change in the PUD to allow more latitude for privacy for these parcels. We are also looking at connecting behind a couple of houses on Berkley Grove's land. 5G Tower Update Permits for the 5G towers have been delayed until January 11th to review some legal questions. I'm not supporting any unwanted and unsightly tower in front of a family home. Tower Sites hearing at the January 18th Public Works meeting are listed below.
