REGULAR MEETING JANUARY 9, 2012 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Mr. Danch advised that his clients are requesting the vacation of several alleys and <br />portions of streets to allow for the proposed Triangle Planned Unit Development project <br />area. He stated that it will allow for future development of single-family home sites <br />within the proposed Planned Unit Development. Mr. Danch advised they believe that <br />vacating the public right-of-ways will not have a detrimental effect on the adjacent <br />properties located within this new Planned United Development, as it will allow for the <br />construction of approximately 53 homes. <br /> <br />This being the time heretofore set for the Public Hearing on the above bill, proponents <br />and opponents were given an opportunity to be heard. <br /> <br />There being no one present wishing to speak to the Council either in favor of or in <br />opposition to this bill, Councilmember Dieter made a motion for favorable <br />recommendation to full Council concerning this bill as substituted. Councilmember <br />Oliver Davis seconded the motion which carried by a voice vote of nine (9) ayes. <br /> <br /> <br />BILL NO. 81-11 PUBLIC HEARING ON A BILL OF THE <br />COMMON COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SOUTH <br />BEND, INDIANA, APPROPRIATING UP TO <br />FIVE MILLION SEVEN HUNDRED <br />THOUSAND DOLLARS ($5,700,000.00) FOR A <br />GARAGE INTEREST IN THE CHASE TOWER <br />BUILDING TO ASSIST REHABILITATION <br /> <br />Councilmember Dieter made a motion to continue this bill until the February 27, 2012 <br />meeting of the Council at the request of the petitioner.
