•CITY OF SOUTH BEND OFFICE OF THE CLERK Committeemember Broden stated, I have additional questions. So with regard to the double walled tanks, I think the importance is the monitoring. I may have missed this and I apologize for arriving late but is this a commitment that this tank system will be used and that the monitoring system will be in effect during the duration of it? Mr. Studer replied, Candidly, I don't know any of the decisions. Burns does the installations but we've just asked them to use the same systems we've worked with. I think it would be almost impossible to have a system that wasn't double walled as that is part of the State regulations. Committeemember Broden then asked, And I assume the monitoring is an add on feature? Will that be a part of this station? Mr. Studer replied, I assume it would be part of the package and I would think that Exxon wants that as well. They don't want any bad publicity. Committeemember Broden stated,That is significant to me and I don't know if it rises to the level of putting it in as a commitment but I think in this day and age, I would rather be safer than sorry. I'll just put that out there as a comment. Brian McMorrow,Partner with Abonmarche Consultants with offices located at 750 Lincoln Way East, stated, I was here to answer any questions if need be. The revised plan did arise out of conversations that occurred at and then after the Area Plan Commission meeting. Tab number two (2) (referencing the booklet Mr. Studer handed out) shows, graphically, the architectural commitments that are being made. The use of materials, the roof slope and the like, it will be the most attractive looking gas station in the City. The materials and roof slope are similar to the bank building that is there. The property that is now undeveloped to the east will most likely be developed as a car wash. We are working with the developer on that one. That is also in South Bend. Committee Chair Davis asked, And what restaurants will be inside the gas station? Mr. McMorrow replied, It will be a sandwich shop. Committee Chair Davis followed up,No brand name yet? Mr. McMorrow replied, There is a brand name. They are down from Indianapolis. Councilmember Tim Scott asked, What kind of ice cream? Oh, sorry, that was last week. Committee Chair Davis then opened the floor to members of the public wishing to speak in favor of or in opposition to the legislation. There were none. He then turned the floor back to the Committee for further comment or main motion. Committeemember Ferlic made a motion to send both Bill Nos. 56-18 and 18-58 to the full Council with favorable recommendations, subject to the one (1) additional written commitment. Committeemember Voorde seconded this motion which carried by a voice of four(4) ayes.
