CollegeAvenueIndy.org has created a new Change. org petition opposing the height and setback variances being sought by Milhaus Development for the property located at 5870 North College Avenue, also know as the AT&T Site at College Avenue and Kessler Blvd. Current zoning allows a maximum height of 35 feet. Milhaus is seeking to construct a building that is 54 feet tall (a 65% increase over the current maximum). In addition, current zoning allows a maximum setback of 20 feet. Milhaus is seeking to increase the setback to 30.75 feet (also a 65% increase over the current maximum). We are asking the city of Indianapolis to deny the height and setback variance requests for this location (case numbers 2016-CZN-818 and 2016-CVR-818 Amended) because the variance requests: 1. Lack continuity with the prevailing aesthetics, building standards, and construction materials of the adjoining neighborhood; and 2. Exceed long-established neighborhood building codes with respect to height and setback. If the requested variances are granted, they will establish a new development precedent that is a radical and unwanted departure from neighborhood standards. In addition, the Milhaus plan does not include adequate provisions for tenant and customer parking, does not adequately address vehicular traffic increases that threaten pedestrians and nearby elementary schools, and does not contain adequate provisions for site safety and security. Please take a minute to sign the new petition. Be sure to add your comments and share the link for the new petition with your Facebook friends and personal contacts.
