December
HOLIDAY PARTY –
TUESDAY, DECEMBER 6, 2005!!!!
Don’t miss the Village Residents’ Association annual holiday party! This year’s gala event will be held on Tuesday, December 6th at 7:30 p.m. at the Sullivan Museum, 225 West Hawthorne Street. The Sullivan is a great place for our holiday party. While the VRA strives to preserve what is best about the Village into the future, the Sullivan preserves and celebrates our past. What a grand combination!
There will be lots of goodies and holiday cheer aplenty at the holiday get together. It’s a great opportunity to visit with your neighbors and meet new friends. Please feel free to encourage other Village residents who are not currently members of the VRA to attend as well. The party offers a chance for them to find out what the VRA is all about and have fun at the same time.
While you are there, be sure to check out “Gingerbread on Parade,” a magnificent display of gingerbread creations concocted by Zionsville residents, young and old. The gingerbread house exhibit will be on display through December 17th. And don’t miss the Magic of Toy Trains exhibit, featuring toy trains circa 1915 – 1955. Also – don’t forget to take a little time to stop next door at the Munce Art Center and take in the “First Come, First Hung” exhibit, a breath-taking eclectic exhibit by participants ranging from budding artist to seasoned professional.
Historical Guidelines Committee Update
The committee continues to work on a draft of a conservation ordinance and a voting process. They hope to conduct a public meeting in February 2006 in order to provide more information to Village residents. Your input and comments are always welcome on this ongoing and important issue. For more information about the guidelines and the project, please visit the zvra.com web site or contact Tony Macklin.
Town Council Meeting
The Zionsville Town Council will meet on Monday, December 5th, at 7:30 pm. Among other issues, the Council will address the Plan Commission’s recommendations regarding rezoning issues involving proposed WalMart properties along Michigan Road.
2005 – A Look Back
In 2005 we were fortunate to host such great speakers as Town Councilors, David Brown and Art Harris; Boone County Senior Services Director, Sue Ritz; Town Marshall, Jim Wampler; Maple Lawn Farms representative, Chris Garvey; Street Superintendent, Lance Lantz; and Sullivan Museum Curator, Andra Walters. These individuals provided our members with many interesting, informative presentations at the 2005 meetings. Our Historic Guidelines Committee continued to work on a plan that will help preserve the integrity and character of our Village. We participated in the annual Fall Festival Parade. We also had a great get together at the annual VRA picnic in Lincoln Park in September – and we’re looking forward to the December Holiday party at the Sullivan Museum. All in all, a great year for the VRA. Our membership continues to grow and all the great people that continue to be involved in our association prove one thing – we all want to keep the Village of Zionsville such a very special place to live!

She says that what drew her to Zionsville was the quaintness of the village, the very friendly small town feel and the similarities to it and the coastal island she left behind. Jennifer hails most recently from Saint Simons Island, GA, a small island community with a village of its own. While in GA, she owned and restored an historic home in Brunswick and through that project, she became an active member of the Preservation Association, serving on their annual home tour committee.

August 2005
Town Council Representatives to be Featured Speakers
at August Meeting
Town Council members David Brown and Art Harris will be the featured speakers at the upcoming Village Residents' Association meeting to be held on Tuesday, August 23rd at 7:30 pm. They will address many issues currently facing the Village and will be on hand to answer your questions and concerns.
As Village residents as well as town representatives, both Brown and Harris have a vested interest in the concerns of the Village and will welcome your questions and feedback on any issue.
A proposed 1% Food and Beverage tax is just one item under debate. The Council discussed this option at the August 1st Council meeting and will revisit it at the September session. If you have questions or concerns about the tax, this is your chance to get some answers and give your input.
Business district traffic flow and parking is another ongoing concern. As is the preservation of the Village's character and integrity.
The addition of a lobbyist to assist the town in gaining much needed funds for improvements and local programs is also a pending issue upon which Harris and Brown will be able to offer more information.
These are just a few of the issues the Council representatives will discuss at this month's meeting.
Town Marshall, Jim Wampler will Discuss Village Traffic Issues
Our Village can only continue to retain its character and integrity and manage its growth in a positive way with the involvement of its residents. So, please plan to attend this important meeting on Tuesday, August 23rd. And don't forget to bring your questions!
Traffic in the Village business district giving you a headache? Finding a parking space so you can visit your favorite shops and restaurants becoming a hassle?
Don't despair! As an added and much welcome bonus, Marshall Jim Wampler will be at Tuesday's meeting to address those traffic flow woes.
Results from a traffic study of the Village business area were recently unveiled at a Zionsville Safety Board meeting. Marshall Wampler will share those results and provide some possible solutions. He urges everyone to come to the meeting and offer their input.
Historic Preservation and Conservation
A brief update on the proposed conservation ordinance will be presented at the August meeting. Printed information will be available as well. For more information please visit the VRA website www.zvra.com and check the Preserving the Past and Future link.
Boone County Senior Services
Sue Ritz, a representative from Boone County Senior Services, will be October's featured guest. Informational literature on Boone County Senior Services will be available at this month's meeting.
By-laws Reviewed
Also at this month's meeting, proposed changes to the By-laws will be presented allowing By-laws to be amended more than once each year and providing for a family membership classification. Click here to see the proposed changes. These changes will not be voted on until the October meeting.
THE 1% FOOD AND BEVERAGE TAX – A FEW THOUGHTS
Longtime resident and local merchant, Ralph Stacey, says he supports the proposed 1% Food and Beverage tax for a period of three to five years in order to accomplish some non-typical budgetary goals. At the recent Town Council meeting, Mr. Stacy offered some possible funding utilizations:
• The establishment of municipal off-street parking lot in the downtown area
• Promotion, advertising and basic town expenses of Town Events
• Flower planters on Zionsville Road and 334 bridges with ultimate replacement of solid concrete sides with see through barriers.
• Town grant writers and lobbyists
• Upgrade the near future downtown commercial directional maps
• Become an active member to the National Historic Trust for Historic Preservation Main Street Program
• Establishment of town grant funding for Business Facade Restoration based on Zionsville Authentic Business Architectural Heritage
• Expansion of the Greater Zionsville Chamber of Commerce office, located on Elm Street
• Decreasing town debt load.
Mr. Stacy also strongly recommended a temporary moratorium on new housing developments, due to the fact the growth appears to be out pacing revenue, resources and quality of life in his opinion.
Ghost Walk
Volunteers are needed for this year’s Fall Festival Parade and the 4th annual Ghost Walk. If you are interested in becoming involved, please see Marianne Doyle at the August meeting or contact her at mhdoyle361@aol.com or by calling 873-2547.
VRA PICNIC
What better way to spend a lovely Sunday afternoon than with your friends and neighbors, sharing great food and even better company in the most beautiful town in America? The annual VRA picnic is drawing near. This year’s gala event will be held on Sunday, September 18th at 5:00 pm. in Lincoln Park. Please bring a dish to share- salads, main dish casseroles, side dishes or desserts, it's a “potluck” in the truest sense – the most important item to bring is yourself and your good company. Also, bring your own table ware – plates, utensils, napkins, etc and a lawn chair. The VRA will provide soft drinks. You may also bring your own chosen beverage if desired. We hope to see you there.
PSST! THE NEIGHBORS KNOW!
It's true! Your neighbors know a great plumber you can call at 3 am., they also know a guy who can feed your goldfish while you're on vacation and then detail your car like nobody's business. Don't you wish you did? Fact is, you probably do know service professionals, caregivers and the like that you'd be pleased to recommend. So hold that thought – and send it to John Tousley at vp@zvra.com - for a new feature under construction on the VRA website at www.zvra.com .
This section, entitled Village Info Center, will be a forum in which to share recommendations for things like contractors, mechanics and others.
It's New and Improved!

MAPLELAWN FARMSTEAD REPRESENTATIVE TO SPEAK
As you see the new housing developments and shopping centers creep closer and closer to the Village and watch the surrounding farms disappear, have you ever wondered if a way of life will be lost forever? Will future generations even know what a working farm was like?
Maplelawn Farmstead Inc. is a not for profit organization that is working to make certain that the legacy of one nationally recognized historic local farmstead will not be lost.
At the June 28th VRA meeting, Chris Garvey of Maplelawn Farmstead Inc. will be on hand to explain the project, which involves a 3.8 acre farmstead complex located on Mulberry Road in Zionsville.
The group hopes to preserve the farmstead and build an educational museum on the property while developing park space. They hope to create an entity that will eventually be self-funding and sustainable.
Mr. Garvey will offer information, not just on the importance and scope of the project, but about how we as a community and as individuals can help make it happen.
This promises to be a
fascinating presentation. Please plan to attend this Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. at the Sullivan Museum, 205 West Hawthorne Street.

SIXTH ANNUAL LAMPLIGHTER AWARD
Created to honor Village homeowners who have restored or preserved their residence during the past year in an outstanding manner while maintaining the spirit and integrity of the unique architecture in the Village of Zionsville, the lantern award itself is symbolic of leading the way in restoration. This year’s Lamplighter Award was presented to the Zelonis family for the excellent renovation of their 40 South Third Street home. Layers of asbestos shingles were removed from the structure to reveal the original clapboard siding beneath, while the gracious wraparound front porch was painstakingly restored to its former glory as well. To complete the transformation, the Zelonis’ selected a historically appropriate color palette. Though Mark Zelonis admits it’s still a work in progress, the attention to detail and the obvious respect for the charm of the old home and its place in this historic Village are remarkable.
The Zelonis’ received the honor from Ralph Stacy, Award Committee Chairman, in a ceremony at Lincoln Park on May 15th. The award was given in conjunction with National Historic Month.
Please join us in recognizing and congratulating the Zelonis family at our June meeting. And if you haven’t had a chance to see the (almost) finished product, be sure wander by and take a look. A truly impressive effort and an asset to the character of the Village!

Proposed Historic Guidelines to be Presented at October 26th Meeting
After many months of work, the members of the Zionsville Village
Historic Preservation Guidelines Committee will introduce the proposed
historic preservation guidelines for Zionsville’s Village area at the
October 26th VRA meeting.
John Tousley, VRA Vice President and
Co-Chairman of the Historical Preservation Guidelines Committee will present
the proposed guidelines for public review and discussion. He will discuss
the Committee’s efforts in devising the guidelines for the Village, based
upon the responses received to a questionnaire distributed to Village
residents last year. The guidelines address such issues as demolition of
houses and design elements for new homes or major changes to the exterior of
existing homes.
Tommy Kleckner, director of the Western Regional
Office of Historic Landmarks foundation will also be on hand to discuss the
role a historic preservation commission has in protecting and revitalizing
older houses and neighborhoods and the potential impact of such efforts on a
community.
Because the guidelines are an ongoing community effort,
input from Village residents is vital. The committee welcomes your
questions and suggestions on this very important issue. If you value
the unique character of our Village, please don’t miss this meeting!
The most recent draft of the guidelines can be reviewed by

For Sale- 4
Bedrooms - 2 Bathrooms and a Ghost
Do I have to mention the last part?
You are ready to put the sign on the lawn! You have a pristine Victorian
home in the Village. It is amazing how little you had to pay for it. Visions
of amazing profit dance in your head. There is only one problem though, that
pesky ghost in the attic who keeps complaining about some unfortunate
incident so long ago. Why won’t Casper just get a life and get over it! More
important at the moment is do you have to disclose the fact that you have a
ghostly houseguest to a prospective buyer? It might not help your sale.
Indiana law defines a "psychologically affected property" as real
estate or a dwelling for sale, rent or lease to which one or more of the
following apply:
(1) That an occupant of the property was afflicted
with or died from a disease related to the human immunodeficiency virus
(HIV).
(2) That an individual died on the property.
(3) That the
property was the site of:
(A) a felony
under IC 35;
(B) criminal gang activity;
(C) the discharge of a firearm involving a law enforcement officer
while engaged in the officer's official duties; or
(D) the illegal manufacture or distribution of a controlled substance.
Are you required to disclose why Casper is hanging around? The answer is “no”,
unless you are asked. You are not required to disclose any knowledge of a
psychologically affected property in a real estate transaction. However, if
you are asked, you may refuse to respond, but you must not intentionally
misrepresent a fact concerning a psychologically affected property in
response to a direct inquiry from a transferee.
So tell Casper to
stay put in the attic and remember what they say in the army now, “don’t
ask, don’t tell”.

FIFTH ANNUAL LAMPLIGHTER AWARD
Created to honor Village
homeowners who have restored or preserved their residence during the past
year in an outstanding manner while maintaining the spirit and integrity of
the unique architecture in the Village of Zionsville, the lantern award
itself is symbolic of leading the way in restoration. This
year’s Lamplighter Award was presented to Beth Bugbee, for the excellent
renovation of her circa 1870 – 1880 home at 10 East Ash Street. The
character of the dwelling was preserved throughout the project, resulting in
a charming and historically appropriate renovation. Bugbee received the
honor from Ralph Stacy, Award Committee Chairman, in a ceremony at Lincoln
Park on May 16th. The award was given in conjunction with
National Historic Week (May 3-8). Please join us in recognizing
and congratulating Ms. Bugbee at our June meeting.
Historic Landmarks Representative, Tommy Kleckner, To Speak On Historic
Preservation At The April 27th Meeting Whether an owner of
a historic building, a resident in a historic district, or simply someone
who is interested in local history, effectively protecting and preserving
local historic resources has become a concern for many people and
communities throughout the state. A local historic preservation
ordinance is the most effective tool for addressing this concern.
Historic preservation has become a more pressing issue this year in the
Village in light of the recent demolition of two historic homes, as well as
the construction of new homes replacing the old homes or upon the few
remaining vacant lots. There is a growing realization of the need to
preserve the older homes, which provide so much of the character of the
Village, and to assure that future construction is consistent with existing
homes around it.
On April 27, 2004, Tommy Kleckner,
director of the Western Regional Office of Historic Landmarks
Foundation, will discuss the basics of a local preservation ordinance,
covering such topics as developing appropriate design guidelines, the role
of a local historic preservation commission, and the positive impact a local
ordinance can have on properties.
You can find out more about
Historic Landmarks Foundation by visiting its web site at
www.historiclandmarks.org and its mission to save and restore
irreplaceable architectural heritage.
After Mr.
Kleckner’s presentation, John Tousley, VRA Vice-President and Co-Chairman of
the Historical Preservation Guidelines Committee will discuss the
Committee’s efforts in devising guidelines for the Village, based upon the
responses received to a questionnaire previously distributed to Village
residents.
Questions regarding the impact of historic preservation
and the efforts of the Preservation Guidelines Committee will be welcomed.
