CITY OF SOUTH BEND j OFFICE OF THE CLERK Committee Chair Davis then opened the floor to questions from Committee and Council Members. Committeemember Broden stated, Just a comment, I appreciate the development as the Council Member for the District. Tucking everything in the back, the parking, I appreciate that. I like that you have sidewalks displayed there. I mean that is actually a big win for that corner and for that street to build some connectivity to the residential neighborhood. I appreciate some of the smart development things you've put into this. Mr. Connaughton replied, We don't get accused of that a lot, so, thank you. 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 Substitute Bill No. 02-19 to the full Council with a favorable recommendation. Committeemember Broden seconded this motion which carried by a voice vote of four(4) ayes. Substitute Bill No. 19-01- Special Exception: 3602 West Sample Street Mr. Wyatt stated, The petitioner is requesting a special exception use for the site on the screen (referencing a slide in a presentation which is available in the City Clerk's Office) for the processing and storage of aggregate materials including on site crushing of materials, and to allow an outdoor storage unit in excess of fifty percent(50%) of the total lot area. He showed a view of the façade of the property and stated,They plan to keep the screening for the outdoor storage. Here is a site plan that shows the location of the outdoor storage location that they plan to keep. This comes to you with a favorable recommendation from the Area Board of Zoning Appeals. I would be happy to answer any questions. Mike Danch, Danch Hamer & Associates with offices located at 1643 Commerce Drive, handed out copies of the site plan (which are available in the City Clerk's Office). He stated, I am representing the petitioner. At the request of Council, last time we were here, Council asked us to go ahead and delay this to this evening so Councilmember Davis could ask us questions. We did meet with Councilmember Davis and brought up all the answers he was looking for on this particular bill. What we are asking for is the processing of aggregate materials on this particular site. To refresh Council's memory, we'll be removing about 90,000 square feet of existing old dilapidated building. Most of it will be demolished but the area behind the building highlighted on the site plan with dotted lines,that is the approximate location of where the aggregate material will be stored and processed. Part of the existing building at the front, part of that will be used for offices and,per the request of Community Investment,we are going to leave the entire façade wall of the existing building across the entire front of the property. That was for mitigation purposes and also for streetscape. From Sample Street, they wanted to see the building itself or at least a façade of that building. So,we've kept that there. That is part of the process are we doing with you this evening. A question came up about the decibel reading of the processing of aggregate materials. I brought it up a couple weeks ago. That has a reading of about fifty-eight(58)to sixty- five(65)decibels. That's based on the machine being used on the site.To give Council a reference, a lawn mower is about one hundred and ten (110) decibels. So, we asked this manufacturer what the decibel reading would be by the time it got to the first (Pt) residential home, it would be EXCELLENCE ACCOUNTABILITY j INNOVATION INCLUSION j EMPOWERMENT 455 County-City Building 227 W.Jefferson Bvld South Bend,Indiana 46601 p 574.235.9221 f574.235.9173 I I 0574.235 5567 vwvw.southbendin.gov 4
