City Council approves Lehman housing development on a 6-3 vote

         The area outlined in red is the planned Lehman housing development

Brad DeReamer has let Fishers City Council members know about his very strong views on the influence of housing developers in Fishers for several years.  The councilman once again voiced those assertions Tuesday night on a specific rezoning issue that did pass in the end on a 6-3 vote.

It is called the Lehman development, south of 126th Street, east of Allisonville Road, adjacent to the Sunblest neighborhood.  Pulte Homes wants to construct 32 homes on 15 acres of land.

DeReamer provided examples from his own neighborhood of Britton Falls where he does not believe developers have kept specific commitments made in the past, and reiterated his argument that it appears to him that developers are “getting their way” at the expense of the city’s residents.

In the end, Pulte received the rezoning it was seeking, with DeReamer, Jocelyn Vare and Crystal Neumann voting no.
