CRONE <br />April ri l 2 1 1982 <br />Vice President <br />JOHN V <br />Chairman, man. <br />The South Bend Common Council <br />Committee of the Whole <br />4th Floor <br />JOSEPH T SERGE <br />County -City Building <br />First District <br />South Bend, Indiana 46601 <br />WALTER M. SZYMKOWIAK <br />Second District <br />Dear Council Members: <br />BEVERLIE J. BECK <br />Third District <br />Over the past several months I have been receiving <br />LEWIS A. MCGANN <br />Fourth District <br />an increasing number of complaints from our citizens <br />ROBERT G. TAYLOR <br />requesting assistance for the regulation of auto repair <br />Fifth District <br />and body shop operations which fix and rebuild old cars <br />RAYMONDD C. ZIELINSKI <br />and then store them on their property for possible future <br />Swh <br />sale. <br />BEVERLY D. CRONE <br />At Large <br />The following Bill is an attempt to reach a reasonable <br />RICHARD C.DOMBROWSKI <br />At Large <br />balance between the legitimate businesses who operate in <br />JOHN VOORDE <br />this area and reasonable regulations which reflect the <br />At Large <br />concerns of our citizens. <br />KATHLEEN CEKANSKI FARRAND <br />Council Attorney <br />You will find specific fire and safety regulations <br />as well as a requirement for opaque fencing along the <br />side of a property line when it directly abuts a residential <br />lot or directly abuts a public alley or public street where <br />a residential lot is directly across the way. <br />The Bill calls for semi - annual inspections and annual <br />licensing by the City. I believe these regulations are <br />reasonable and look forward to discussing all of this with <br />you in much greater detail in the weeks ahead. I have <br />purposely included an effective date of July 1st so that all <br />of the affected businesses will have ample time to comply <br />and so that we may be able to gather as much input from the <br />citizens and Council. <br />I have had the opportunity to view several of the <br />businesses which would be included within this Bill. I <br />have taken pictures of these locations, and look forward <br />
