6 <br /> boundary between the shown parcels will have a negative impact on any <br /> surrounding property. <br /> The sixth Variance is from the minimum required 10 ft. . Rear-yard <br /> setback along the South property line to 0.10 ft. for an existing <br /> accessory warehouse building. This building was permitted to be at the <br /> property line when it was constructed several years ago. Based on survey <br /> work for the property the warehouse building actually sets 0.10 ft. off <br /> the property line. Due to the property lines being reconfigured the <br /> Petitioners are required to ask for a Variance from the present <br /> standards. The Petitioner would ask for approval of the existing <br /> warehouse building to be located to a minimum of 0.10 ft. from the <br /> property line. They do not believe approval of this Variance will be <br /> detrimental to any adjacent property as the building has existing for <br /> the past several years. <br /> The last Variance request is from the requirement of a paved outside <br /> storage area to existing gravel for a portion of outside storage at the <br /> Southeast corner of the site as shown. This gravel storage area has <br /> existed for the past several, years as shown at the Southeast corner of <br /> the Petition site. The Petitioners do not plan to expand the outside <br /> storage area or the gravel area, as the rest of the shown outside <br /> storage is paved. The Petitioners would ask to be allowed to maintain <br /> this existing gravel area, as it has not created any problems with the <br /> adjacent properties. The truck facility located adjacent to and West of <br /> the gravel area is also gravel as well. The Petitioners do not believe <br /> approval of this Variance for a limited area of the site would adversely <br /> affect any surrounding property. <br /> Concerning Parcel "B" the Petitioners would request approval of a <br /> Special Exception as allowed under Section 21-04-02 (2) (D) of the City <br /> of South Bend Zoning Ordinance to allow for a Public Passive Park. The <br /> Petitioners as previously mentioned, desire to transfer Parcel "B" to <br /> the City for a Passive Public Park. They would ask the Board Members to <br /> agree that approval of the Special Exception to allow for a Passive <br /> Public Park as shown on the attached site plan, would not be injurious <br /> to the public health, safety, comfort, community moral standards, <br /> convenience or general welfare, or injure or adversely affect the use of <br /> the adjacent area or property values therein, and that the proposed use <br /> will be consistent with the character of the district in which it is <br /> located and the land uses authorized therein, and that the proposed use <br /> is compatible with the recommendations of the City of South Bend <br /> Comprehensive plan, all of which is requested by the South Bend <br /> Municipal Code § 21-09.03 (i) . <br /> With regards to the Variance requests for Parcel "B", the first <br /> Variance the Petitioners are requesting, is to allow accessory <br /> structures, including but not limited to an existing: smoke stack, a <br /> trellis, a statue, information plaques, benches and trash containers as <br /> shown without a primary structure. This request is due to the fact that <br />
