MR. WESAW: All the out buildings, sir? Yes. The garage and the out buildings. <br /> MS.NAYDER: I just wanted to clarify the reason our comment about the parking was I don't think we <br /> determined how many parking spaces were back there, could fit back there on the site so we just wanted to <br /> make sure that all parking would be located in the back. <br /> MR. WESAW: Yes, ma'am. <br /> IN FAVOR <br /> There was no one to speak in favor of this petition. <br /> REMONSTRANCE <br /> MR. DAVID PINK: 3631 S. Locust Road. I am the next property north. I share the pond. At this time I just, <br /> this more of a, I don't know exactly how I'm going to say it, because of all that took place in acquiring this <br /> property,the neighborhood is extremely suspicious of everything that happens over there. When we look at <br /> stuff we find, WJC Holdings. We find Signature Associates. We find Pokagon Band. When we hear about a <br /> casino development,project manager was hired but they're not planning none, a casino. When did Locust Road <br /> become Locust Street,which is kind of important in South Bend because do have a street. You know one <br /> minute there is no casino,the next one there is. We were going to have nature trails, now we've got paved <br /> parking. Before we had no commercial, now we've got, we're talking casinos,we're talking doctor's offices, <br /> we're talking government buildings. Because the property's not all been integrated into one legal entity some <br /> of the descriptions are still a little suspicious. We know it's a swampy area, however,this property is listed it's <br /> not swampy. And I've lived here 35 years and it is a woody area. A lot building and services for three services <br /> a day, we're just asking questions,we're not in opposition, we're trying to understand. There's contaminated <br /> dirt on the west side of the Locust Road next to the bridge that's been there ever since they put the bridge in. <br /> We've had promises and nothing happens. It's in this vein I guess that we ask some questions. It's not that <br /> we're against what they're trying to do or what least they seem to be trying to do,but we are extremely <br /> concerned that the parking lot would be restricted in size. It should be behind the building for second reason <br /> and that is septic tank is in the front yard so it should stay in the back. My understanding is that they are asking <br /> for a building only Special Exemption. Not the property,nothing else. Again the reason we ask there is a tower <br /> in the back that's been there for some years and the neighborhood voted to accept it when it was owned by <br /> different people. We just don't want more of them. And we just like to be a little bit more informed, a little <br /> more honesty in some of the descriptions. I'm retired but I spent over 40 years in business and I've never in my <br /> life hired a project manager before I had a project. But at the last meeting I attended I was told we're not really <br /> planning on a casino but we've a project manager and the company's description is they only do one thing,they <br /> develop casinos. I'm having a hard time accepting this at face value. And that's basically my thing. Thank <br /> you. <br /> MR. MARK STEVENS: 3515 Locust Road, South Bend, Indiana. When I received a document from Jason <br /> Wesaw it defined the property as 3733 Locust Street. Also from the Area Board of Zoning Appeals letter I <br /> received in the mail also documented it as 3733 Locust Street. I guess,not just to split a hair, but if this is a <br /> 30 <br />
