BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that this Resolution°shall be subejct to approval and ratification by the Common Council. Dated: May 24, 1982 BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS s/ John E. Leszczynski s/ Richard L. Hill s/ Joseph E. Kernan ATTEST: s/ Barbara J. Byers, Clerk Mrs. Pfotenhauer explained that the above property.was currently being used as a scrap yard under a license issued to South Bend Auto Parts. Mr. Herman T. Williams, 20201 Dice Street, South Bend, Indiana, was in the process of purchasing the property for operation of a scrap yard under the name of South Main Auto Parts. She explained that it will be necessary for Mr. Williams to meet certain requirements as stipulated in the new licensing Ordinance #6998-81 passed by the Common Council on November 9, 1982. She advised that there were no violations of the applicable zoning laws nor size of the lot; however, a 15-foot buffer strip was required if there was new ownership of the scrap yard. She recommended the Board adopt the above resolution approving the license and forward a resolution to the Common Council requesting its approval as required, but stipulate that, within 60 days of commencement of operation under South Bend Auto Parts, the appropriate buffer strip and any other changes necessary in conjunction with fencing as a result of said buffer strip be completed. Mr. Hill advised that it would be unfair to expect the changes to be made prior to approval of the license since Mr. Williams had not yet finalized the purchase of the property and did not have access to the property at this point. He pointed out that a condition of the purchase of the property by Mr. Williams was contingent upon the Board and Council approving a license for its operation as a scrap yard. Upon a motion made by Mr. Kernan, seconded by Mr. Hill and carried, the above resolution approving a scrap dealer's license for South Main Auto Parts, 1819 South Main Street, was approved, subject to the completion of a required buffer strip and related fencing within 60 days of the commencement of a scrap yard operation under the name of South Main Auto Parts. The Clerk was instructed to forward a similar resolution to the Common Council for its concurrence. APPROVE HANDICAPPED PARKING PERMITS Upon a motion made by Mr. Leszczynski, seconded by Mr. Kernan and carried, the following handicapped parking permits were approved and referred to the Deputy Controller's Office for issuance: Rev.
