40 CITY OF SOUTH BEND OFFICE OF THE CLERK <br /> Ms. Smith replied, They actually won't be having a driveway. Under the new ordinance, they are <br /> allowed to count their on-street parking toward their one(1)per dwelling unit parking calculation. <br /> The original site plan included a garage with an enclosed driveway and we informed them that <br /> under our ordinance, that is not allowed to have access from the alley. When they re-ran their <br /> numbers, it was more economical to use the on-street parking than to build a separate garage for <br /> that. <br /> Committeemember Broden followed up, So in the application on A,where it says, `...would allow <br /> a full-sized vehicle to park in the driveway,' what does that mean? <br /> Ms. Smith replied,That was their original petition. They amended it to the new site plan that came <br /> in afterwards. <br /> Committeemember Broden then asked, A fence in the backyard could help? Is that intended? Is <br /> that on the site plan? <br /> Ms. Smith replied, It is not on the site plan. It would just have to be through ordinance. <br /> Committeemember Broden stated, They were both still in the petition and I wondered why, still. <br /> Ms. Smith replied, It is not uncommon for them to change the site plan after they turn things in to <br /> us. <br /> The petitioner was not present at this time. <br /> Committee Chair Davis then opened the floor to members of the public wishing to speak in favor <br /> of or in opposition to the legislation. There were none. He then turned the floor back to the <br /> Committee for further comment or main motion. <br /> Committeemember Gavin Ferlic made a motion to send Bill No. 18-55 to the full Council with no <br /> recommendation, due to the petitioner's absence. Committeemember John Voorde seconded this <br /> motion which carried by a voice vote of five(5) ayes. <br /> Committeemember Broden asked, Just a clarification, is it required the petitioner be here? I know <br /> what our past practice has been but is it required? <br /> Bob Palmer, Council Attorney with offices located on the 4th floor of the County-City Building, <br /> replied, It is not legally required. It has been the practice of the Council so that the petitioner can <br /> answer any questions that the Council may ask. <br /> Committee Chair Davis stated, Typically, if they are not here, we have postponed it until the next <br /> meeting or try to reach out to them and have them come. <br /> Committeemember Broden interjected, I guess this is pretty straightforward, in my opinion, since <br /> I was the only one (1) who asked questions. They have done their homework with regard to our <br /> current ordinance and our need. They actually have had a hearing before the ABZA and I don't <br /> want to put an unnecessary burden on a small developer in our community.
