The property contains an office. Located to the north is land zoned `B" Residential, "A" <br />Height and Area, containing mixed use and single family structures. To the east is land zoned "C" <br />Commercial, "E" Height and Area, containing mixed use and commercial structures. To the south <br />is land zoned "A" Residential, "A" Height and Area, containing single family dwellings. To the <br />west is land zoned "A" Residential, "A" Height and Area, and `B" Residential, "A" Height and <br />Area, containing single family homes. <br />Access to the site is from the east from 36th Street and from the south from the adjacent alley. Water <br />and sewer are available to the site. The drainage has not been addressed by the petitioner. The total <br />site to be rezoned is seven thousand four hundred fifty -one (7,451) square feet. Of that, the buildings <br />will occupy twenty -nine per cent (29 %) of the site; the parking and drives will occupy thirty -one <br />per cent (31 %) of the site and forty per cent (40 %) of the site will remain as open space. <br />A check of the Agency's maps indicates that no public wells, wetlands, or flood hazard areas are <br />present. The Logan Dump Site is located nearby at Logan Street and the St. Joseph River. The site <br />plan is preliminary. The City Engineer will require a drainage plan at the final site plan stage. <br />The Area Plan Commission, at its Public Hearing held on May 20, 2003, sent this petition to the <br />Council with a favorable recommendation subject to a final site development plan. The site plan <br />shows adequate buffering to adjacent properties and is located close to other commercially zoned <br />properties on Mishawaka Avenue. <br />Ms. Patricia Geisler Hoffinan, no address given, made the presentation for this bill. <br />1, M <br />
