Council Member Slavinskas noted that Bill No. 72-90 which is the proposed vacation of an alley south of Mishawaka Avenue will be continued until the January 14, 1991 meeting, in light of the fact that the Board of Public Works has not acted upon a revised legal description. Council Member Slavinskas noted that the next item was to review Bill No. 68-90 which is a petition to rezone the properties located at 321 South Tuxedo Drive, 2325 East Jefferson, and 2329 East Jefferson. Mr. Richard Morgan, an Attorney with Barnes & Thornburg Law Firm, gave the presentation on behalf of the Petitioner, MacGregor Strefling Associates, a professional corporation. Mr. Morgan noted that the 3 lots in question are requested to be rezoned from "A" Residential "A" Height and Area to"B" Residential "A" Height and Area, to allow 4 OBGYN Physicians to construct an office building. Mr. Morgan noted that at the formal public hearing this evening, he would have the CEO from the Michiana Community Hospital speak in favor of the proposed rezoning, and would have other supporting documentation available later this evening. He noted that the Doctors have outgrown their current facility and that the proposed location is the best and only location. He noted that the doctors own an option on each of the 3 properties in question. He acknowledged that the Swanson Park Neighborhood Association is opposed the the rezoning. He noted that the Petitioners have exhausted all other alternatives, and specifically noted that in light of the restrictive covenants, that they are precluded from developing any of the duplexes east of the hospital. He then presented architectural renderings of the proposed development. He noted that the northern boundary would have mounding and evergreens to shield the office development from the residential neighborhood. The building costs are expected to be $600,000. 00 with the total project cost to be over $1,000,000. 00.
