®CITY OF SOUTH BEND I OFFICE OF THE CLERK And then this is the view looking to the west. Here is the site plan showing the expansion of the parking lot. South one hundred and twenty (120) feet of the east two (2) lots will remain SF-One (1), Single-Family and Two (2)-Family. Councilmember Karen White arrived at the meeting at 5:32 p.m. Bryan Wynen, 1820 South Bend Avenue, stated, Our business has grown over time and we would like to expand the parking. As you saw by the pictures,we are going to maintain the front view so it will look residential still. We will be using shielding and fencing that is further back to keep the view of the cars in the back. We think this will be a great compliment to the needs of the commercial space as well as the residents living there on Charles Street. We have been there thirty (30)years now and are very familiar with all the people there and we try to be as neighborly as we can.

McBride arrivedg p Angela Smith,Deputy Director of the Area Plan Commission with offices located on the 11th floor of the County-City Building, stated, What you have before you is the revised Subdivision Ordinance. In your packet there are actually two (2) versions. One (1) is a substitute version that was attached to the staff report from the Area Plan Commission and we are working on getting that clarified. This comes to you with a favorable recommendation. We worked closely with the �I Department of Community Investment. Michael Divita, Planner for the Department of Community Investment with offices located on the 14th floor of the County-City Building, stated, We are bringing to you some changes to the Subdivision Ordinance, as we discussed here in Committee a couple of times back in June 2018. Since the present Subdivision Ordinance was created in 1982, changes elsewhere in the Zoning Ordinance for other City standards have been made to align with other City standards. Specifically, the lot-size standards were added to the Ordinance and that took effect in 2004. The City's floodplain regulations were revised in 2015. Those floodplain definitions now reside in those separate floodplain regulations and are no longer necessary in the Subdivision Ordinance. The Board of Public Works adopted new construction standards and specifications this year that govern street and alley width and construction standards.Those standards are no longer in the Subdivision Ordinance. The primary goal here is not to change standards as it really is just to clean up those redundant or conflicting standards as they may make more sense elsewhere. We hope this clears up any confusion a sub divider might have as they go through the process. We ask for your favorable recommendation and approval and I am happy to take any questions you may have.
