Residents opposed to two planned Fort Wayne projects raised drainage, traffic, safety and density concerns Monday during a public hearing before the city Plan Commission.
A set of 48 rowhouses planned near Dicke Road in Aboite Township drew criticism from some area homeowners who are afraid the development will devalue their properties and cause unsustainable population density and traffic issues. Some residents who spoke Monday were also concerned about safety for area children.
The residents also presented the Plan Commission with a petition opposing the development.
The project – which would require rezoning from two-family residential and low-intensity residential to multiple-family residential – calls for nine buildings containing 1,250-square-foot homes with two bedrooms and space for a covered or screened porch or patio to the rear.

Indiana University Health began administering COVID-19 vaccines to south-central Indiana Hoosiers on December 18 of last year. On Friday, January 29, they administered their 20,000th vaccine.
“While the numbers are important, the [vaccination] team is also credited with making this process quick and efficient for their scheduled appointments,” says Robin Lasek, public relations manager for IU Health, South Central Region.
Currently, Hoosiers age 65 and up are eligible to receive the COVID-19 vaccines from Pfizer and Moderna. In Monroe County, vaccination sites include IU Health Bloomington Hospital and the Monroe County Convention Center.
