Ignition Park Architectural Review Board creation
Ignition Park Declaration of Covenants and Restrictions
Date: January 21, 2011
The recently adopted Ignition Park PUD states, under General Provisions Section 5 (c),
located on page 21, that an Architectural Review Board (ARB) "shall be established for
Ignition Park..." "The ARB shall review all land uses as well as all site plans, landscape
plans, open space /outdoor seating plans, building plans and sign plans for consistency
and compatibility with the intent for Ignition Park." The ARB also must approve any land
use or development within the Park. As such, the ARB must be in place before any
development can occur in the Park.
The attached Professional Services Agreement is a proposal from Baker & Daniels to
prepare the necessary documents to create the ARB (membership, terms, powers, etc).
In addition, Baker & Daniels will draft, in conjunction with the Economic Development
Department, the Declaration of Covenants and Restrictions for Ignition Park. This
document will be recorded, and will require ARB approval before building permits can be
issued or plan approvals can be granted by the Area Plan Commission. It will also govern
the long term needs of the Park as it grows.
Since the land comprising Ignition Park is currently going through the disposition process,
both these items need to be addressed before any development can move forward.
Additionally, since Baker & Daniels helped create the Ignition Park PUD, they are in the
best position to do this work since they understand first hand the PUD requirements.
