Qommitt*s UUport ZONING AND VACATION COMMITTEE iro the common Council of the City of 'outii IBtub: The December 28, 1992 meeting of Zoning and Vacation Committee was called to order by its chairperson, Council Member Lee Slavinskas at 3:50 p.m. in the Council Informal Meeting Room. Persons in attendance included Council Members Luecke, Coleman, Puzzello, Washington, Kelly, Slavinskas, Zakrzewski, and Ladewski; John Byorni, Don Porter, and Kathleen Cekanski-Farrand. Council Member Slavinskas noted that Bill Nos. 110-92 through 114-92 have been requested by the Petitioner to be continued until the meeting of Monday,January 25, 1993. He also noted that the Petitioner has requested that Bill No. 115-92 be continued until the meeting of Monday, January 11, 1993. Accordingly, the only Bill before the Committee was to review Bill No. 89-92 which would amend the Zoning Chapter of the South Bend Municipal Code. Council Member Slavinskas noted that this Bill is currently listed under unfinished business and is the Signage Zoning Ordinance which was acted upon at the last Council Meeting. Mr. John Byorni noted that apparently the proper Bill was never formally of record with the City Clerk's Office. He noted that the proper Bill was heard by the Area Plan Commission and that all of the public discussion and all of the questions raised on Bill No. 89-92 was on the proper Bill except for the filing with the City Clerk. Therefore today's action would be merely to correct the fact that the wrong Bill was on file with the City Clerk. The Council Attorney noted that a motion to reconsider would be necessary by a Member of the Council who voted in favor of Bill No. 89-92 at the last meeting. This motion would need a two-thirds majority in order to pass. Formal public hearing on the Bill would then take place. She suggested that Council Member Slavinskas could make such a presentation from the Chair as Chairperson of the Zoning and Vacation Committee. Following further discussion, Council Member Coleman made a motion, seconded by Council Member Washington, that Bill No. 89-92 as amended by sent favorably to the Common Council and that there be a proper motion to reconsider the Bill at tonight meeting. The motion passed. Council Member Slavinskas then noted that he plans to begin action on the proposed "0- Zoning" Bill early next year. He stated that he is concerned with regard to parking in front yards and perhaps an 0-Zoning and an 0-1 Zoning classification may be necessary. There being no further business to come before the Committee the meeting was adjourned at 4:00 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Council Member Lee Slavinskas Chairperson,Zoning and Vacation Committee
