Otnmmittrr &part ZONING AND VACATION COMMITTEE WO tdommou (Council of the ettg of*oatl! Ne The May 11 , 1987 meeting of the Zoning and Vacation Committee was called to order by its Chairman, Councilman John Voorde, at 3:45 p.m. in the Council informal meeting room. Persons in attendance included: Councilmen Puzzello, Serge, Braboy, Voorde, Paszek, and Barcome; Ken Fedder, Ann Kolata, Rick Morgan , Bob Dunbar , Chris Davey , Mrs. Mangus, Tony Davey, David Chapleau, Norman Primus , and Kathleen Cekanski-Farrand,. Councilman Voorde noted that the first item on the agenda was to review the substitute version of Bill No. 21-87 which would amend Chapter 21 of the zoning provisions addressing exceptions in "C" commercial districts . Ann Kolata noted that the bill would amend Section 21-117.05 and would address a procedure where there is a "C" commercial use in existence on the first floor and where residential use is requested on the second or third floors above. She noted that this would require a procedure through the Board of Zoning Appeals and that all individuals living within three hundred (300) feet of the structure would be notified of the hearing . This topic has been discussed for a considerable period of time and is now being prompted by the sale of Max's Grocery Store. Following discussion by the Committee, Councilman Serge made a motion , seconded by Councilman Puzzello , to recommend Substitute Bill No. 21-87 favorably to Council. The motion passed . The Committee then reviewed Bill No. 25-87 which is a bill to vacate certain property known as the first east-west alley south of Mishawaka Avenue. Mr. Ken Fedder represented the petitioner. He noted that two (2) new optometrists would be coming to the city and that Area Plan gave a favorable recommendation to the alley vacation as did the Board of Public Works. He noted that he would be amenable to an amendment incorporating the two (2) conditions set forth by the Board of Public Works, namely a deed of dedication and a cross easement. The Council Attorney recommended that the conditions be specifically addressed within the ordinance. Following discussion , Councilman Serge made a motion , seconded by Councilman Puzzello, that Bill No. 25-87 (as amended by the conditions) be recommended favorably to Council . The motion passed unanimously. PR[* PRRRR atigall&P PURLIININ4 CO.
