Fishers is a growing community with
a strong history of family values and successful businesses. Located in
Southeastern Hamilton County just north and east of Indianapolis, major
transportation routes, such as I-465 and I-69, make Fishers a very convenient
place to live and do business. Indianapolis International Airport can be
reached in 30 minutes. Cincinnati, Louisville and Chicago are all within 180
miles of Fishers. Residents are pleased with the high quality of academic
education offered by the Hamilton Southeastern Schools. Recreation and leisure
abound with seven parks, walking paths, several golf courses, community pools,
a new state of the art YMCA, and a youth sports organization. Nearby Geist and
Morse Reservoirs provide convenient access to water recreation.

Geist |
Geist is an 1800-acre lake built
for a water supply reservoir for Indianapolis. During the summer there is
very heavy pleasure boat and sailboat traffic on the weekends, which can play
havoc with the fishermen and turn the normally cloudy lake into a muddy lake in
places. The water level is kept stable when possible. There are numerous coves
and points that hold fish, in addition to the weeds. The lake is almost
surrounded with boat docks and artificial sea walls made of concrete or riprap.
There is an excellent population of largemouth bass, with 3-5 lb. fish caught
routinely and 6-7 lb. fish caught frequently. There are many local club
tournaments held here and several Open Team Tournaments. |

Noblesville |

Residents and visitors alike find
Noblesville, Indiana to be a whole life community: a place where people can
grow up, pursue careers, purchase homes, raise a family and retire, all within
the same community. Noblesville remains a community that preserves and protects
its rich historical roots. This is evident in the upkeep of the downtown
buildings and the preservation of brick streets in the neighborhoods around
downtown. The population in 2000 was 28,590, an increase of 62% from 1990. This
continuing trend speaks volumes of the quality of life and livability that our
citizens have worked so hard to achieve and maintain. The 2000 census data
notes the median age of residents in Noblesville to be 33 years old. This
indicates that the mix of families within Noblesville includes both
multi-generation families as well as those that have recently chosen
Noblesville as their home.

 Every city and county has zoning laws that define and restrict how property owners can use the land. The purpose of zoning regulations is to establish development standards and to ensure that the land is used for the common good.
There are restrictions on both the type of structures you can build and how the property can be used. Common zoning categories are residential, agricultural, industrial, commercial and recreational. There are sub-categories such as single-family residential zones and multiple family residential zones, (areas where condo and apartment complexes are permitted.)
Zoning ordinances also contain restrictions on the height and square footage of the buildings, the number of stories allowed and how close buildings can be to one another. They state what kinds of facilities are required for each form of use -- for instance, a residential property must have a driveway. Whether you intend to buy a new piece of property or improve one that you already own, zoning laws will dictate what you will be able to do with your land.
