The Fishers City Council unanimously approved an exemption from Uniform Development Ordinances Wednesday night, clearing the way for a gravel parking lot with access to a natural area park planned in Fall Creek Township. Township Trustee Doug Allman explained plans for the park for council members. The exemption will allow access to the gravel parking area from Southeastern Parkway, with the details of exactly where that will be located yet to be worked out.

Councilwoman Cecilia Coble asked about Americans with Disability Act (ADA) access and she was told in this situation, there is no legal requirement to provide such access, but the township will investigate what can be done under the circumstances.
