Yup
Stupid people screwing up a great Developement and income to our community. Im sure the shooting in the area helped them make the decision to pull back.
Thanks Libbys.
Yeah – I don’t think Oxbow is particularly “libby”, actually.
Nimby-ism rules!
Nimby-ism?
Pick another spot and go huge!!!!! its plenty of spots to invest in!!!!
Seriously. I’ve asked this many times. What’s wrong with you, Micah?
Broad Ripple isn’t a village anymore. Too many high rises already. I have nothing against anybody making money, but the density being achieved in Broad Ripple is getting a bit ridiculous, and causing BR to lose its charm.
It hasn’t lost its charm, it’s just evolved to match existing users and conditions.
Murray I am afraid it has to me as well, the traffic alone keeps me from visiting the area any more than I absolutely have to. If you ask me those that are looking to invest should require that the city invest in the infrastructure and roads around their developments.
As Yogi said, nobody goes there anymore. It’s too busy.
Why have a comprehensive plan if your are not going to follow it? Double the density that is permitted in the comprehensive plan? That is not a deviation; that is deviant.
The plan does not “permit” or cap density figures. Perhaps you should read it – and furthermore, comprehend the role a comprehensive plan plays in the development process. It’s is neither law nor ordinance and shouldnt on it’s own merit be used as a basis to prevent development – especially invented language that doesn’t appear in it.
The petition was a greedy over-the-top and impactful monstrosity. Chuckled at the creative assertion that its withdrawal was occasioned by a request from the district councilor– who supported it against the interests and welfare of hundreds of residents. More likely, the petitioner finally realized that the neighborhood opposition had persuasive community-based arguments, and might indeed prevail. “We need to restore an all-but-lost art in America– the art of making good places.” James H. Kunstler, The Geography of Nowhere.
Unfortunately there will most likely be another developer ready to construct a cheaply made high rise that is not needed or wanted in the area. So while the NIMBYs won this battle, I’m afraid they need to be ready to go to war. I say this from experience as I look out on the 5 story (altered height variance that was approved!!) monstronsity that is near me. Our council person sat with the developers and not her constituents during the hearing. Suffice it to say said coucil person no longer reprensents the district where I dwell. Hang tough Marott Island Community Association and don’t forget to vote.
100% and now the property is on the radar of 10 other firms. That location is destined for development and anyone that doesn’t see that is clueless.
I lived in BRip for 5 years and questioned how/why it still hadn’t become a multiuse townhome/apartment or single family houses.
Clarke Have you ever been for any development?
It is totally irritating how every news outlet, including the IBJ, has swallowed the developers’ term “pond”. What pond would be 13 acres large? It is a lake, with many fish, at least 3 species of turtles, Bald Eagles and herons hunt for fish, many migrating shore birds land for a time during their migration. It flows directly into Dawson Lake and from there directly into the White River, affixing the environment. Therefore it needs to be protected. But the developers have consistently called it a “pond” to diminish its ecological importance. IT IS NOT A POND.
It’s a pond.
Oxbow Lake
The White “River” is also just a creek, but for some reason, we try to make it more than it is 🙂
I believe a hog farm would fit nicely there. Smell would naturally flow south to Oxbow.
Broad ripple is cut and shoot country!
