CITY OF SOUTH BEND OFFICE OF THE CLERK <br /> Mr. Feeney replied, By your Department of Community Investment, yes. <br /> Committeemember Broden then asked, So the approval before this actually does not include these <br /> commitments, correct? <br /> Mr. Feeney replied, That is correct. <br /> Committeemember Broden followed up, So is it the intent of the petitioner to reoffer those? <br /> Mr. Feeney replied, Yes, and to Area Plan as well. <br /> Committeemember Broden then asked, So our motion today could be contingent upon these <br /> commitments? <br /> Mr. Feeney replied, Absolutely. But regardless of the contingency, the owners have stated that <br /> they will and I will see that they follow through. <br /> Councilmember Regina Williams-Preston asked, Can I get a reminder of the APC <br /> recommendation? It was unfavorable, right? <br /> Mr. Wyatt replied, Yes,that is correct. <br /> Councilmember Scott stated, Our Department of Community Investment as well as the Council <br /> rep for this area are not in favor of this,just to note. <br /> Vice Committee Chair Voorde then opened the floor to members of the public wishing to speak in <br /> favor of or in opposition to the legislation. <br /> Conrad Damian, 718 E. Broadway Street, stated, I'm president of the neighborhood association, <br /> SOAR, and when we talked about this it was agreed that we opposed this rezoning. There are six <br /> (6) used car lots in the short ten (10) block area of Michigan Street. We believe that is more than <br /> enough used car lots. We have three (3) muffler shops and two (2) auto repair shops in that very <br /> short distance and we don't believe it is a good use of the area. We are glad JJ's has the restaurant <br /> but we do not believe the rest of the property should be used in this way. We ask that you deny <br /> this rezoning request.There were twenty-three(23)people at that meeting and that was the general <br /> consensus. <br /> Committeemember Ferlic made a motion to send Bill No. 14-18 to the full Council with an <br /> unfavorable recommendation. Committeemember Nanci Yokom seconded this motion which <br /> carried by a voice vote of four (4) ayes. <br /> With no further business, Vice Committee Chair Voorde adjourned the Zoning and Annexation <br /> Committee meeting at 4:39 p.m. <br /> Respectfully SuVIflitted, <br /> John Voor e, Nm�mitteel air <br /> EXCELLENCE I ACCOUNTABILITY I INNOVATION I INCLUSION I EMPOWERMENT <br /> 455 County-City Building 1227W.Jefferson Bvld 1 South Bend,Indiana 466011 p 574.235.92211f574.235.91731TTD 574.235.5567 iwww.southbendin.gov <br /> 4 <br />
