Cottage Home Owner Featured

The Indianapolis Star recently ran an article featuring our own Tim Jensen. The item features a slideshow of interior and exterior photos of his house and details about the renovation. "This is a quirky little neighborhood. It's historic but with an emphasis on the environment," Jensen said.

Habitat House Under Construction

Earnest efforts are under way to build the state's first "green" Habitat House in our own neighborhood. The project is scheduled for completion in fall. More details are available in IBJ's article.

Neighborhood Flood Plain Revisions

The neighborhood association has received copies of the letter of Map Revision from FEMA that relieves us of the Flood Plain restrictions. The letter and maps are available on the Yahoo site. If you need a copy to send to your mortgage company or to get permits for building, you will be able to download from the Yahoo site or contact a board memeber. Your mortgage company may still require some flood insurance, but it should be dramatically less than you are paying now.

This is exciting news after so many years of working toward this goal.

Cottage Home is a Conservation Area

On July 2, 2008, the Indianapolis Historic Preservation Commission voted unanimously to approve the Cottage Home Conservation Plan. Plan details are available at the IHPC site.
