Council Member Slavinskas noted that under Special Business at this evening's meeting, we would be hearing two Resolutions which request approving Petitions of the South Bend Board of Zoning Appeals for use of the 4-H Fairgrounds. Resolution No. 91-36 is on behalf of the South Bend Shrine Circus, and Resolution No. 91-37 is on behalf of Sunrise Promotions, Inc. for their annual antique show. Council Member Slavinskas noted that he has received no remonstrance with regard to either of these use variances. The Committee then reviewed Amended Bill No. 16-91 which is a zoning request for the property located at 3425 Lincoln Way West and 3427 Lincoln Way West. Mr. Jack Hofferth, the representative on behalf of the Petitioner, noted that this is an amended Bill which includes only the frontage on Lincoln Way West. It incorporates approximately 1.4 acres. The back 115 feet to the north would remain as "A- Residential" . Mr. Hofferth noted that Arby's does not currently own their current location, and that a new Arby's would be constructed similar in style to the one located in Mishawaka. Council Member Niezgodski noted that this was in his District. He stated that he has received several complaints from neighbors with regard to litter and dumping. He suggested that No Trespassing signs be posted to address this problem. Mr. Hofferth stated that environmental study showed that the property was being used as a neighborhood compost area. Mr. John Byroni of the Area Plan Staff stated that initially they had concern with regard to a commercial use going to Elwood. With the amended Ordinance, the Area Plan Staff as well as the Commission was in favor of the proposed rezoning. He also noted that there would be no exit or entrance on the Elwood.
