BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS Patrick M. McMahon, P E., President Richard L. Hill Joseph E. Kernan CITY of SOUTH BEND RQGER Q PARENT, Mayor COUNTY -CITY BUILDING SOUTH BEND, INDIANA 46601 Common Council County -City Building South Bend, Indiana 46601 Dear Council Members: September 10, 1980 219/284 -9412 The Board of Public Works, at its meeting held on August 25, 1980, conducted a public hearing on the petition for a scrap dealer's license of Bremen Iron and Metal Company, Inc. for property located off Sample Street and Prairie Avenue (immediately east of Webster and extending along and to the rear of the Penn Central Railroad tracks). In accordance with Ordinance No. 6621 -79, regarding the licens- ing of scrap dealers, the Board of Public Works, at its meeting held on September 8, 1980, adopted a resolution approving the issuance of a license to Bremen Iron and Metal, subject to approval and ratification by the Common Council, and further subject to the receipt by the Legal Department of a statement that the legal description to which the license would apply would be amended to include only those areas zoned "E" heavy industrial, and that there would be no expansion or encroachment within the 1,000 foot distance, unless that area was previously licensed. This Resolution approving the issuance of the license was adopted by the Board of Public Works because it found Bremen Iron and Metal in technical compliance with the requirements of the South Bend Municipal Code, if the matters mentioned above are complied with. It was the feeling of the Board that it was their function to determine technical compliance; however, other matters were raised by members of the surrounding neighborhood which the Board deter- mined were more appropriate for consideration at the public hear- ing and determination by the Common Council. Therefore, this matter is now being referred to you for public hearing and subsequent action on the petition for a license. Enclosures Sincerely, BOAP F PUBLI/C /ORKS atrick M. cMahon, P.E., President
