OK. You Fishers folks all of you must follow the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) Ordinance No.090605A except the Town. Isn’t that nice, the Town can’t follow its on rules. It’s too much of a burden. They are also exempting them selves from the park lighting requirements. The ink on this ordinance is not even dry, adopted October 16, 2006 with an effective date of November 15, 2006 and already the Town can’t follow its own rules. Now it’s not like a new batch of Council people got elected and needed to change things, its same old Country Club Town Council crowd. What they want to do is light up the parks and have them glow in the night. Three things for all of you to consider, one is the waste of electric power to light up the night, second is the waste of personnel to change the bulbs and maintain the system and last is the neighbors who live in the area. Well they will get a benefit, on night when the parks are lit up they can save on their electric bills. They won’t have to turn on their lights. The glow of the parks will light up their homes. Oh, I almost forgot, they don’t believe in global warming or do they do since it will be warm longer into the nights and even in December people will be able to play outside, you need lights.
Of course they could have forgotten about the lights and have people go home after dark, but then families would have to spend some time together in their own homes.
Now don’t forget the next time someone from Planning and Zoning tells you, you have to follow the UDO, tell them you just voted yourself exempt just like the town did for itself.

EVERYONE……..ATTENTION…..
Do you realize that if the Town is allowed to EXEMPT town property & parks from their own Town Ordinances, that they could put in as many flood lights as they want to light up the playing fields, anything could go in right next to you. Take Cumberland Park, Roy Holland Park, Brook School Park, for instance, all lighted up with 100 ft flood lights, also loud PA systems etc. right in your back or front yard. The Town needs to follow the same ord. as they require the Developers to follow. They are being irresponsible, neglagent in how they are trying to run the towns government.
Everyone needs to check the Fishers web site for the next Planning Commissioners meeting and attend, we need to fight this. If this is allowed to go through, your PROPERTY VALUES will drop so low you could not sell your homes if you tried.
